[PM] Yeah, I guess.
Other people seem to trigger it, at times, overthinking.
So, I guess anxiety, too. lol
People can be very concerning, you know?
It's hard to know what they are thinking.
And sometimes, I think, it's not always the best thoughts.
Like, a best friend could be conspiring against me.
Laying in wait to sabotage me when the opportunity ever presents itself.
Everything I say, will be held against me.
Isn't that something worth being anxious about?
Really?
I like to sing a little.
Never have I thought to take up an instrument, though.
Not seriously.
I think as long as something makes us happy, it's hard to realize it's distracting us from the bad things.
What other hobbies have you distracted yourself with?
I guess people will point out flaws they imagine in others, to make themselves feel better.
It's probably all just projection.
They see a version of another person, and maybe they think they have it good, this other person.
So, calling them in their happiness, weird, or something, takes away from that person's shine.
But it doesn't add to the name callers, now does it, to take away another person's happiness.
Not enough people have seen Mean Girls, and absorbed it's main point, properly.
Calling someone else stupid, doesn't make you smarter.
You know?
I bet a lot of people's takeaway was to write a private journal gossiping about other people behind their back, rather than communicating your feelings, or learning the other perspective.
You think it would be exhausting being a jerk to most of the people around you?
That's what I learned watching the movie.
It's a great movie, anyway, if you haven't seen it.
But I got the sneaking suspicion you might have!
Aw.
Well, I enjoy the conversations your bone partner and I have had.
That makes them great in my books!
Yeah!
What other reason to watch anything, to participate in anything, than to consume and learn from it?
What is it all for if it doesn't change you, even slightly, in the end?
Well, I am.
But not often.
It has to sit just right.
I guess, I enjoy the genre so much that, I'm a bit of a Goldilocks about it.
You know?
Right!
I don't want to watch another Scream, just because, wow, people are getting stabbed again.
Or, another movie where there's a final girl, there's always a final girl.
And you know who she is from the start!
You're lucky if her boyfriend dies, by the end!
It's just, not great, lately.
The horror genre is in such a mess these days.
And you're absolutely right, the stories make us want the good guys to win, or should?
I guess.
But I find, especially with horror, I want the bad guy to win, just so the good guys shut up.
