OK, new rule: any sitting government official who answers ‘I can’t recall’ to any question about critical meetings they had under 6 months ago they had should be removed from office, because they are either a liar or have mental issues that disqualify them.

I’ve always attributed it to my anxiety disorder. I spend an exorbitant amount of time thinking (obsessing) about interactions, decisions, actions, thoughts, mistakes, smells (did I smell?), facial and body positioning, FUCKING EVERYTHING. So this “7 seconds” thing is a pipe dream for me... it’s like telling someone…

Yep. While the goalpost-moving narcissists always have delightfully clear consciences.

Yeah my thought reading this was “This would be great but also I’m still going to lie awake tonight remembering 10 seconds of embarrassment from 10 years ago.”

I think it’s a combination of things - natural personality is probably a part of it, like if you’re over analytical, a bit obsessive over details, overly aware of everything going on around you, especially other people’s reactions and expressions, and/or sensitive to emotions, both your own and other people’s. But I…

This. And the thing is that it’s not one singular event, which is why it’s harder to pin down. It’s years and years of little, passive comments here and there on any task you complete.

Maybe she’s born with it... Maybe it’s awkwardness!

The PT article has nothing to do with toxic people having mental illness.

My wife has two degrees from UC Berkley, including a Women’s Studies minor and thought this article was a huge reach and actually chuckled a few times as I read it aloud to her (confession: I may have dramatized my reading a bit). I guess I should tell her that she has no critical thinking skills now?

Huh. I don’t see it, but that’s why everyone is different.

Oy vey. Sorry, I can’t get it up for this one.

The nerve of people fucking caring about and liking things.

Ugh these whipper snappers who think selfies are a “trend”

Pictures with faces in them are much more fun to look at. I feel like there’s a difference between taking a well-composed picture of yourself in some exotic locale while traveling and taking one of yourself in the bathroom mirror that looks exactly like the other 400 bathroom mirror shots you have in your Instragram…

The person in the photo might be the only thing separating it from countless others. Take the Eiffel Tower image above ... if she’s out of the photo, it’s just ANOTHER picture of the Eiffel Tower. I guess the weather and maybe the angle are sort of unique ... ? Really, it’s the person in the photo that sets it apart.
