I gotta say, one of the greatest achievements of my 20s was that I learned (mostly) to differentiate between:
"I truly do not want to go" and
"I'm just feeling the Demand Avoidance, and I will like it once I get there."
Well, goodness, this one resonated much more than I was expecting. I mean, I get it. My mind was also blown wide open when I found out "demand avoidance" was a thing that existed, and that I'm not the only weirdo in the world who suddenly wishes it wasn't her birthday after anxiously waiting for her birthday for days.
Loads of people in the tags are asking how I do it? I feel this won't be groundbreaking advice, but here is what I have learned:
Previous experience. Really no way around it. Now that I hit thirty, I feel like I have done enough things to know, intellectually, from experience, what will feel nice if I overcome the avoidance, and what won't. For example, every time I go to the beach, I wake up early and would rather eat a tire than get off the bed. But I remember that every time I got up and went to the beach, I was glad I did it. So I just get up, feeling like shit, and get ready, feeling like shit, and I get to the beach and magic!! I feel great, I love the beach!! Sometimes you just gotta do it scared feeling kinda like shit.
Am I avoiding the thing or getting to the thing? I have a lot of demand avoidance around just, y'know, getting up, getting ready and going out the door. Universal human experience. If I notice that doing the actual thing (Swim in the pool!) sounds nice, but I'm avoiding having to rally myself to go do that (Fetch swimsuit! Sunscreen! Towel!), then I know it's demand avoidance and I should just fucking go.
Is the thing making me feel excited at all or just anxious? I have had previous occasions when I did the opposite; I convinced myself it was just demand avoidance when I really just. Hated the thing. And wanted to stop. If you feel a mix of excitement and dread, or excitement and anxiety, that might be demand avoidance. But if thinking of doing the thing just makes you feel actively anxious, then yeah. You don't want to do the thing.
Do the thing a little bit. Used often with dishes. I've seen this advice float around Tumblr a lot and it's correct. Commit to doing just a bit of the thing; a little bit of the thing; the smallest bit of the thing you can do. Getting started will make it clear right away if you don't want to do it (and in that case, you have permission to stop), or if you just having trouble getting started.
Recently, while staring far too long at a potato chip, it occurred to me that the ridges could possibly be used to create a lenticular effect. So I got out some chip dip (and the smallest paint brush I have) to test it out. I started with a simple 2-frame illustration of a football and a basketball, then I painted a little sour cream and onion dip bird. š„šļø
on a chip??? The world is beautiful!!!

Isnāt it funny how the people that think they are animals never say they are caterpillar kin or fire ant kin they are Just always the ācoolā animals
Me who used to be a fucking Spix's macaw before the identity overwrite:
That sounds complicated and confusing
is spix like the latinx version of spic?
He thinks he was a bacteria in his past like and kins with a book character I donāt think heās reasonable to answer this question lol

Need to find a muckbanger to say they kin the very hungry caterpillar, that could be fun.
(The whole vid is worth watching.)
He makes a solid argument for the fun part of it, even if he didn't mean to.
also I briefly thought he was Andy Devine before my brain registered that as basically impossible
It's like the people who say they are the reincarnation of kings and queens, the famous and the wealthy. The cases I find interesting are the claims of being slaves or peasants.
Or they are from books or movies which they also only come from popular movies and popular characters they are never from barely seen Indie movies

My dad was super overprotective of us growing up so when my sister joined track in high school he made her run in circles in our 1/6 of an acre backyard because he didnāt want her to get kidnapped running in the street
This is how you know you need a big dog to run with, also your dad needs to chill out some, depending on the neighborhood obviously.
āI can't STAND the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new-age term, and it does a lot of damage. I much prefer the word compassion, and I much prefer the word sympathy. Empathy is where you try to feel someone's pain and sorrows as if they're your own. compassion allows for understanding." -Charlie

Also referring back to that guy who told me medical assistant is a bullshit degree where āthey make you do the worst shitāā¦
Um my job as a medical assistant will be testing/collecting urine tests, fecal tests, shots, blood draws, blood pressure, and miscellaneous office management stuff
If he didnāt want to collect urine for tests why did he become a medical assistant?
