How do you cope with stress?
Some people go shopping or buy cars. I cope with humor, mostly because I’m too broke to shop when I’m stressed. So if you’re also poor and stressed, don’t worry, I’m here to teach you my method.
How to Have Funny Interviews
Most people think job interviews are stressful because they want to get the job.
But if you approach an interview like an anthropology experiment, it’s actually hilarious.
For instance, I once got completely stuck in an interview — and so did the interviewer. We were both debugging my broken code together for fifteen minutes. Watching him struggle was genuinely entertaining. I thought, “Haha, if I can’t pass this interview, you definitely can’t either.”
Another time, I had no idea how to solve the problem… but the interviewer loved me so much for some reason that they ended up finishing it for me.
Recently, I flew to NYC for a trip and met a founder who immediately invited me for an in-person interview. As the adventurous person I am, I dragged my suitcase straight into the meeting room. I did so badly in the first round that I had to ask:
She laughed and said, “Nah, you’re the first person who’s ever brought a suitcase to an interview. You’ve gotta finish this.” The second round was even harder and I felt like a naked sheep. At one point, the interviewer looked into my eyes and said softly, “It’s okay…”
I was honestly grateful I had my suitcase ready so I could leave immediately after.
My Ridiculous Relationships
Recently, I somehow got involved in a random poly relationship that I was trying very hard to reject. The conversations went something like this:
“You’re so special.”
“Wait… but you say that to other people too, don’t you?”
“Yes, they’re special — but you’re special too.”
I don’t judge different relationship styles, but honestly, that sounded like classic f**boy* logic.
So I said,
I fainted…Then I received a long-ass document explaining how this “love” promised no security(?!) To be honest, I was kind of impressed someone actually dares to write all that out.
Sometimes I really wonder, is life actually this hard to navigate, or do I just attract weird people and absurd scenarios? Imaginary weirdo friends, what do you think?
Just Laugh
Sure, I could complain about my life, full of embarrassment, frustration, and chaos.
But I can also choose to take it lightly: to laugh before it becomes too traumatizing.
So I tell my funny friend everything. Sometimes I even think about seeing a psychic to figure out why all this happens. But before I do, I shrug off my worries and just laugh (of course, while interweaving overthinking in between) letting everything take shape however it wants. Some of my friend go shopping to cope with stress, but since I’m too poor to do so, I tell myself: if I ever post all this on TikTok, maybe I’ll become an influencer.
