At the back of your skull, about level with your ears, sits your cerebellum. It's only the size of a Mars bar, but it contains more neurons than the rest of your brain combined. For a long time, scientists thought the cerebellum was primitive, only controlling how the body moves, but recent work has shown it's more complex. Here, we see a slice of a mouse cerebellum highlighting nuclei neurons (black) important for motor control. Researchers showed that if these cells can't signal, mice develop severe movement problems. However, the brain compensates for this damage, so adult mice show few symptoms. In contrast, neurons in the cerebellar cortex seem to control social behaviours instead of movement, and the brain can't compensate for their damage. These results reveal the surprising complexity of the cerebellum and help us better understand how the brain copes with damage before birth.

i've had this conversation with my parents today. apparently people usually act differently depending on if they're in a one on one setting or around strangers. I don't really do that. my parents call it "Not Understanding Social Situations" and I call it Not Having Arbitrary Double Standards for what you are and aren't comfortable with.
(Note, this is mainly about what you're comfortable saying. For example, my mom wouldn't tell me she was uncomfortable with a joke I made because we were in the car with a stranger and just got angry and left me confused and upset)
So this raises the question:
do you behave differently around strangers?
yes. I wouldn't say things I say in private around strangers
no. what's alright saying in private, is also alright around strangers
I'm comfortable with certain things in private and other things around strangers

Say that you met and befriended a dolphin 20 years ago, but broke the promise of coming back and visit the dolphin. One day, you accidentally see the dolphin. Turns out, the dolphin may remember you and your promise, since dolphins have the longest social memories besides humans.

I was relaxing with my bf in an open-air pub this afternoon when suddenly an elderly lady came up to me and said: "Excuse me, but I need to tell you something!" "Oh yes, of course!", I replied, wondering if I did anything wrong! But she looked at me and softly smiled "I had to come over to tell you how very pretty you are ... your hair cut, your dress, your shoes ... so elegant, simply gorgeous!"
I was blushing and totally speechless 'cos this came unexpected from a complete stranger but it was so adorably sweet! 💕

These are the moments where you feel alive!!!! 🌸💗🌸
