What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

You don't have to take it. But I have trouble falling and staying asleep. So, I would get that prescription in a heartbeat!
If it was possible it would inevitably become required. You should wish for a pill that makes you sleep healthily. Sleep rules. So warm and cozy and comfy. It’s the best thing a friendly brain can do for you!
 
I guess thanks?
This is something I have to remind myself of often …. That no one can “make” you feel anything.

I often get frustrated or mad at things and then I have to take a step back and wonder if that feeling is serving me at all. What is the core of it … is it something I can avoid? Something I can fix? Something that maybe wouldn’t happen if I admitted to the person who inspired that feeling in me that it’s how it makes me feel.

That's a sensible and healthy approach to things. But when I get kicked squarely in the balls, I'm going to blame that person for the pain.

My own perspective is that people can make me feel things, my biochemistry isn’t completely under my control.

I get to decide how I react though. And in that I try to decide if someone’s actively making me feel worse, which kinda makes them a jerk that I don’t wanna associate with. Or is just not making me feel better. Which really ain’t most folks job and I need to check myself on that. But this is just a rough guideline and YMMV 🤷‍♂️
 
I'm sorry you feel like that. I often feel that way from the other side. Like I'm a temporary amusement until someone more interesting comes along. Conversations that have lasted months suddenly dry up out of nowhere. But maybe that's just what Lit is at its root?

Anyway. You seem to be a good dude. Don't let it get you down too much okay?
Exactly this, Rosie.
 
I need to keep reminding myself that I'm not special, that I'm just another guy to chat with if a woman is bored or lonely or just wants to get off with whoever is available.
I am happy if I get an assist.
Whether it be a one time thing or a regular thing.

I don't need to score every single time.

I am ok with being Mr. Right Now

This is the one. Everyone is entitled to feel how they feel. Own it, and then let it go. Do what YOU need to do

Right.
People make us feel things literally all the time throughout each social interaction, in a field of the million interactions throughout life.

If people are unable to make you feel, intentionally or not, then you are either comatose or a sociopath.

Wisdom of self is what controls our perception and separates our responses to given stimuli.

I.e., I may have desperately wanted to push my thumb into your eye socket, but I chose the other path in the road.

And we grow.

What about both thumbs?
