I suspect there's a lot of this going around. Yay, late stage capitalism.
I'm guilty of this, especially with my parents. I can't deal with their sympathy and efforts to help. I appreciate it - don't get me wrong - but then I feel guilty for implying that I needed help to begin with.

"I noticed I have been saying I am tired for ten years when the more accurate word is 'unwitnessed', and 'tired' was just the version of the truth that nobody would follow up on" - Silicon Canals

After a decade of defaulting to the word 'tired,' I realised it was never the truth — just the version of the truth nobody would follow up on. On emotional labour, the cost of vague vocabulary, and the word I was actually looking for.
I have been considering the #20books20days #20livres20jours challenge.
But 20 is so small a number!
I got to 20 books which seriously influenced my development before I got to being a teen. And that was only the beginning!
Either I am really an amalgamation of authors I have read, or I need to substantially revise how to measure 'influence'.
@karolat @mushroom_soup Well y’all are using the wrong name for it, it’s called an #InternalMonologue.

I have one and I’m pretty sure it’s normal. Kinda weird that so many people don’t have one.

Anyone else after finally picking something to watch have to click back to see what it’s called? I’m sitting here with my internal monologue unable to remember what I just picked, and can’t relax until I do 😩🤣
Toady, it’s not something I’ve watched before, but that doesn’t matter, it happens with favourites too.
