part of why i eat is because i'm shoving down a memory. so remembering a good thing (in this case, food) solves what I was trying to achieve, but better

my new trick to stop binge eating: when i think about eating something i realize it's because eating it made me feel good, so i remember me eating it and decide to cherish the memory instead. if i'm just looking for a quick serotonin boost, just relive good memories!

Doing a good thing for you vs doing a good thing for you and then making you feel bad about it ^ Only one of those is a good deed ^

I've spoke with a few men, young and old, that are utterly baffled and bereft that their affections aren't reciprocated even though they're "accomplished." When we instill entitlement into our boys, it causes them major pain and confusion later.

My fear of the ocean in general is a feeling of being trapped and a level of unknown that is the highest I could ever imagine. I don't have natural senses for that shit. Anything and everything is possible down there.

Theme park usage of animatronics + water has been deeply disturbing to me, like the Jaws ride. Not because of a scary shark, but because it was specifically design to scare me. Being in the water with a moving robot would hurt, too.

Some of the photos were tryin to be scary with the creepy faces. Creepy faces makes ANY fear worse, that's not the primary fear honestly. Perhaps they feel like traps, which you can't really see unless you're already in them.

Submechanophobia - just googling it for images - triggered me up the wall for this post. I picked one of the worst ones, which is one that started it all for me. When I rode 20k Leagues Under The Sea at Disney World as little kid. Scarred for life

Submarines and other big boats give me a similar effect to cetaphobia. Whales are alive and therefore unpredictable, but boats are uncaring, unfeeling and actually dangerous to me because of their man-made nature. They don't really care what's in the water. You better fuckin move

You can't really desensitize yourself unless you WANT to. Whales used to be a regular nightmare for me (just being in the water with them, I know they're docile). I went to the whale museum, I learned about them, I challenged myself.

My cetaphobia has gotten a lot better since I made the decision to get better at it. Photos that used to scare me don't anymore. In fact the one I used for this pic isn't that bad for me now. I still wouldn't want to be in water with it tho.

Female lead is already engaged to a Rui-type, the 2nd male lead. That's going to add a lot to the story. I'm really interested on where this is going. Male lead is very good - good actor and good looking.

It's so weird they're using a real store for a major set piece. Product placement is getting rough but I would rather this than the hand-held products. I almost didn't even realize Hocus Pocus 2 was in a Walgreens until it was pointed out.

Premise is that the main char used to be rich but her dad's company went bankrupt just before she started school. C5 "hunts" students who don't pay their tuition or make donations. So it's more structured bullying

Going to watch Hana Yori Dango ~Next Season~ (2018) Didn't realize this was a thing, but apparently the HanaDan author made a series called 'Hana Nochi Hare' set at the same school 🫢 I wish Yoko Kamio so much glory and notoriety. Let's see what she cooked up!

Police intervention is last resort only, it's extra work for specialists to do that, police will only respond to a request to intervene if there is imminent threat within 24 hours and you don't demonstrate you'll be safe after the call ends. Call or chat if you're feeling bad.
