- you really can decide to just stop believing in the concept of shame. that doesn't mean you'll stop feeling it, but you can just be like "yeah I'm over that"
- someone close to me did acid a year ago and realized he was coping with anxiety by overeating and immediately switched to coping with anxiety by running 7 miles a day (which he is still doing)
- when we’re having a fight and I say “I see it from your perspective”
- my friend finds basically every girl his age who’s in decent shape attractive. this actually seems like the ideal way to be wired?
- my friend said that when you have high verbal intelligence (good at expressing yourself/arguing) you should be careful not to take advantage of other people who are less good at “debating” and that’s always stuck with me
- guy who gets addicted to instagram reels bc he’s trying to avoid getting addicted to tiktok
- I’ve been saying this
new study out confirms something I've long believed: watching Instagram Reels or Youtube Shorts is basically twice as bad for you as TikTokReaders added contextThis conclusion is entirely incorrect. The study compares SFV-usage in general (INCLUDING TikTok) vs. TikTok usage alone. It states that the former is worse due to switching between platforms. It also states that no studies examined other SFV platforms specifically. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2026-… - I read this guy saying he never has trouble sleeping bc he just puts all his thoughts into their proper compartments before bed and now whenever I can’t sleep I just visualize putting whatever I’m thinking about in a drawer…. it totally works
- if you’re smart/talented and hardworking you can force almost everything except creativity. I feel like creativity only appears when there’s genuine love and obsession
- I think friends are sometimes attracted to each other and as long as everyone’s normal about it it usually resolves pretty fast and people move on
