Their fault. They removed all the real stressors but didn’t give us brains that can cope with not being stressed. Now we have to pull stress out of thin air—or grapefruit.
I'd love to hear your explanation of how that's related in the slightest.
Disassociation maybe?
I used to think my hearing loss and visual impairment was the reason I got so stressed walking through a car park - I can't hear cars and I can't always tell if a slow moving car is indeed moving.
But that made no sense because I have no issues getting around a bus depot and public transport interchange. I'll be fine navigating the streets with buses, trams, bikes and pedestrians, but as soon as I step into the parking lot I suddenly can't detect obstacles properly.
My partner pointed out thatI very clearly dissociate when I'm in a car park. I've conditioned myself to feel anxious in car parks (from when I was younger before I learned to navigate with my disability, the fear of car parks did not make sense) so now I pre-emptively check out and try to navigate on autopilot, which makes it more dangerous and anxiety inducing, making me dissociate more.
As soon as I realised that I was dissociating and that was the problem, I started working on it and now I have no greater level of disorientation in a car park than anywhere else.
Yes and the rest of the meme is joking about how everyone's on high alert because of it, so again I ask why you'd think it has to do with them "dying." Why couldn't it be because those country are also experiencing removed stressors and are killing people who are who are visiting the country because they too are high alert and they have guns?
(The real answer is that this isnt happening at a statistically significant rate and you're hearing it on the news which is skewing representation)
That's right it does, it says that In constantly deal with bad faith arguments
Yes. I'm honestly confident, if a bear doesn't have headlights, I would be mauled.
