I like to have OCs that represent parts of myself or a specific foci of desire. I sort of feel like I need one that is grouchy, intellectual and pedantic. But I don’t know if he would be fun to draw.

I know its sad but... they were really old. Some people are being shocked and saddened from the surprise. Did you think they were going to stay sick and elderly forever? Lets celebrate their time with us instead of making it about your discomfort

I get really embarrassed when I see someone asked me a question months ago on Bluesky that I never replied to. I probably missed because it was posted when a picture i made was posted soon after or before, alerts for other posts get lost if it’s not for the picture. I hate making people feel ignored

This is an articulation of why when people refuse even the mildest of spicy food people get judged. Spice tolerance is learned, so when someone says they can’t handle the most mild of spicyness, we just think of their lifetime of choices of never doing anything that causes mild discomfort.

Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue

Increasing my discomfort tolerance has also been one of the greatest assets to improving my mental health.
