Consumed material, including entertainment, is of finite value

5) Burn everything to ground, to ashes and moving on.
Unfortunately, the void is huge so for now, distractions, distractions and distractions. Also y-you too.

I feel like doing the same but I've been fighting that instinct and have been trying to make things work.
I have been trying to cross that void but it is difficult when there is no bridge. I keep trying to make one but it keeps getting cut down. Sometimes by me.

I have also been distracting myself but it only makes the void larger. I think I need to start being more present again.
And joke around more; revive the fun. And not expect anything.

Things will still be awkward; especially since I think this might be the same person I told off years ago because he insulted my friends.

Indeed. I have a ton of stuff but the things I truly value are far more intangible. Friends, family, relationships, etc.

fiction is better than all those things

husbando: have you heard of the mere exposure effect? it's my favorite psychological blindspot. it doesn't matter how you feel about something in the beginning, mere exposure to it long enough is enough to make you like it.

me: incidentally, it's also how i make most of my friends.

Also the reason co-workers are more likely to start dating.

[Gl❀w]

i think that's more due to limited social interaction opportunity

Being a recluse is double inefficient for me

wow

[Saiga]

Also i thought coworkers dating was a BAD thing?

[Gl❀w]

it's mostly a bad thing because there's liability for the company on sexual harassment policies, and if there's a bad breakup you're still forced to see that person all the time.

otoh when you get off work with your work gf you can talk abhout work more

So it's a bad thing that people are more likely to do

Huh yeah I dont know why i questioned that

Also is it bad that while reading it i was expecting your husband to end it with a joke about liking you?

[Gl❀w]

my husband ended it with a joke about how no, that's just stockholm syndrome

[Saiga]

Ok thats pretty good

So the lesson learned is that i need to expose myself to people to get them to like me

[just Beamu]

I wish people would put collars on their cats so I could find out who this stray one belongs to but on the other hand now I love this cat

[Gl❀w]

idk its hard to get people to like you when you confess and then take it back

[just Beamu]
