heavy on the Chaos

I saw this video earlier today talking about how Sometimes You Are Not The Person To Do An Intervention and discussed how EDs and addictions thrive on shame. interventions done poorly or from people who don't have that type of relationship can do more harm than good because it just tells the person struggling "your problems are so obvious to everyone around you and you need to hide them better."

The line in Sabrina's song "manchild" thats goes "is it stupid or is it slow?" Isn't using slow as an insult ableist?

anyone else have always felt... still? as in, being the human equivalent of still water. the opposite of hyperactive and inattentive. i can sit somewhere for longer than anyone else without moving and just in general, my movements are rare, slow, calculated, robotic. like the inverse of adhd. i can focus on something, anything, regardless of noise or stuff happening around me. i just dont care. even if the thing im focusing on is boring to me, i can push aside any remainder of human urges and feelings (such as boredom or curiosity or hunger) i may have and just, sit there.

when people tag posts "unreality" it's a signal to people who struggle with discerning reality that a (likely scary if believed to be true) post is not real even though it's written as if it was. it's also a filter tag so those people can opt out of seeing posts like that entirely. many people who rely on the unreality tag are psychotic and struggle with paranoia alongside (or because of) the struggles discerning what's real. posts that these people interpret to be real can lead to incredible distress and compulsions.

i feel like we as a digital society have forgotten the important rules of the internet
