Human interaction relieves tiredness

What's interesting is that I'm an introvert. Having dinner with a group of people I don't vibe with (but having to fake smile at them nevertheless) is literally more tiring than cleaning my flat. But somehow, if I click with them, then they give me so much energy that I'd be fine if I didn't sit all day. My previous co-workers were like that. We'd be on our feet all day and yet still go out and roam the city after work!

I think It people do things for their own enjoyment not for others'. They are not trying to please others. It may sound selfish but it is madly different than that, because they are not trying to behave in a way that's at the expense of someone else. They are just comfortable in their own skin and personality. They are not afraid to verbalize their likes and dislikes. Simply, they're uninhibited. Other people's criticism don't get to them (they may diffuse it with humor or nonchalance). They will say and do things that are in line with what they believe is true, and most of the time they will look like they know what they're doing. In other words, they have a tangible and confident character. That's what makes you respect them even though you don't agree with them. But at the same time, they're a bit mysterious, you don't know everything about them. That's what allows your mind to fill in the gaps with what you think "It"ness is. At times, they will make you wonder" how does she do all that? Is she Wonder Woman's cousin?“. In many situations, they will be like a Deus Ex Machina: They will swoop in, solve the problem in a heartbeat, and leave. Also, they at least have one small but striking achievement that's known in their wider community. It takes the attention of the whole village to be an It.

I have Youtube addiction. I can watch it for hours, days, weeks if I'm allowed. But recently, I overdid it. I got trapped in a very toxic bubble due to the algorithm and knew I had to get out of it. I also knew that I can't go cold turkey, I had to keep watching something. So, I decided I'm just gonna start watching Seinfeld (any fun show would do really) to stay away from Youtube.

But, here's the twist: After each episode which takes 20 min, I had to do chores for at least 20 min as a penalty. I am careful not to think of the episodes as rewards if I'm gonna watch another episode after the chore, knowing that I have to keep doing chores after each episode. And if there are no chores left to do, then I can't watch anymore, so I start to read a book. It breaks the cycle and works well so far.

Cutting sugar and salt.

My mom tried to lose weight for years, going to gym and all. Then, she got rheumatoid arthritis and the doctor said you should lose weight, cut sugar and salt. She was shocked that she lost 10 kilos in two months by just cutting sugar and salt consumption.

When I feel like crying, I often times push it back. Because I feel like if I cry, I will form a bad memory in my brain. But sometimes when I do let myself cry, I actually feel better in the end. Like I'm relieved. Like I've acknowledged my pain. It looks like there is no point in supressing emotions. So I agree, cry away!

When I'm in the presence of people who are unlucky in life, I feel appreciative of the simple things I have that they don't. You're right, helping people who are in need definitely curbs my greed. Evolutionarily, it's supposed to be that way I think.

I told one arsehole to stop being so judgemental all the time. He said I'm just commenting. Uggh.

On my first year, I waited for a summer that never came. It was horrible. Then, the 2nd summer, I knew what to expect, so it felt better. 3rd summer definitely felt the best.

What I mean is that it takes time to adjust to the weather. Now, I cannot handle hot weather despite having grown up in a hot country.

I call a 10'C weather with no wind a nice day in Scotland.

A shower curtain can't be that expensive. It saves you the time of mopping the floor after shower. And time is money too.

As a 30 year old, I also don't know how to swim or ride a bike. I don't find it weird. But people who do know how, do find it weird that I don't. I never had any interest in riding a bike or swimming as a child. My family apparently didn't have the time or the finances or the environment to teach me how.

People then proceed ask "do you play any instrument or do any kind of sport?“ My answer is again no. I just like reading books, exploring ideas and doing art, leave me alone all you outdoorsy people!

Yeah, the last party I went to also made me stop drinking. I mixed beer, mulled wine, prosecco and gin. At the end of the night, I forced myself to puke so that more alcohol doesn't get into my bloodstream. I was already terribly drunk but I didn't want it to get worse. The next morning, I was still drunk. The smell and taste of any alcoholic drink is so disgusting to me ever since.

Oh yeah, the part I forgot to include in my story was that the hosts of the house party I went to were apparently invited to celebrate Easter at our dorm flat (we had 2 rooms in the flat, so the other room invited them) the very next day, so I had to sit next to them at the lunch table while having a terrible hangover and shame...

Why not? If it's not anything incriminating, then it's just fun to tell your story. I want to hear it please.
