"Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom?"

Some people are d*ck heads. Some people act like d*ck heads. There are d*ck heads everywhere.

Begin with acceptance. I don’t mean condoning their behavior or being somebody’s doormat. Acceptance here means acknowledging that this sort of thing happens in our world. People act unfairly. Drivers do ignorant things. Co-workers upset us. Some parents are judgey. Much of the struggle that gets us stuck after these encounters is our insistence that we can’t believe they did that. Release this resistance when you notice it. Try saying instead, "Sometimes people are like that.”

Most of the time when we’re caught off guard by d*ck heads, we later think of a perfectly devastating comeback that we feel sure would have put the other person in their place. However, our fantasies about how things could have gone probably aren’t realistic.

In my experience, obnoxious people are incredibly skilled at deflecting comebacks and turning them back on their source. They probably have a lot more practice than you do at being a d*ckhead, so they’re better at it. It’s fun to imagine having the last word, but most likely we wouldn’t have the satisfaction we imagine. For this reason, we can let go of regret and accept that we’re just not that skilled at being unkind.

Being treated badly can lead to a sort of “meta-irritation” -- being upset about being upset. We might know it’s pointless to keep dwelling on the incident but we keep replaying it. The more we try to force ourselves to stop thinking about it, the more it intrudes on our awareness.

Rather than fighting what the mind is doing, shift your perspective. No matter what you’re thinking or feeling, take a half-step back and observe it. Notice what experience you’re having -- the physical sensations in your body, the effects on your breathing, the thoughts going through your mind. Watch the anger and rumination, rather than completely identifying with them.

You might believe implicitly that other people determine your happiness: If they treat you well, you feel content; if they don’t, you feel upset. But in truth, others’ behavior is only ever about them, and our well-being doesn’t have to depend on what they do.

Mythbusters have 3 categories of myths

the general public doesnt know how physics works

the general public doesnt know how lying works

oh crap this ones real

#mythbusters #whats that one quote #individuals are smart people are stupid #something along those lines #but i hear some of these myths and i know from the start that its gonna be busted #because anyone who stops and thinks about the science for 2 minutes will know it SOUNDS improbable

[midnight-coffee94]

No single line has ever wrecked me as hard as this one from the Good Place and I think about it constantly

#the good place #i'm binge watching it again and it just takes me out so hard #i get lost in the sauce thinking about this quote #the idea that those who hurt you are capable of being better people and then seeing them change and grow just hits me right between the rib #who am i kidding it stabs me like the senators stabbed Caesar #anyway #icy does a tag ramble

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

#i love reading your examples! however next person to be like um actually this exists?? it’s on sight #i know it exists. i think it’s fun. that’s why i think more people should do it. #sometimes i think the confessional style loses impact because everything has to be excavated from the depths of the soul #and somehow. confessional writing seems to be going with the most disaffected bland sound possible. odd. #i love deeply personal songs! i love when songs sound like they mean something to the artist! #something something wider issue of mining trauma and being performatively vulnerable for quote unquote content #idk i don’t have the actual knowledge to write about this well there’s just something not landing for me recently #mine

i think that gay sex cats is the new duchamp's fountain

#if youre getting mad at it now you would have been mad about modern art in the 1920s too #this is what people mean when they say that some people are no different than greek statue pfps getting all RETVRN abt art #also pack it up there's better posts on the automation of art and art philosophizing #too much people reblogged this for the quote unquote ethical painting. scram

anne carson: simple moving poem about awkward dinners with not-quite-friends and the ennui that comes with realizing this mundane unhappiness is all adult life is sometimes

insane people on twitter: has she ever tried being happy? i like going to dinner with friends, what’s wrong with her? she can afford to go out to dinner, she shouldn’t complain. just be a cooler hang, skill issue. this isn’t my exact experience (i like my friends) therefore this poem is bad and unrelatable and pretentious. she can’t debone a fish? loser.

#would bet money that 75% of people shitting on it have rt’d that ‘not to me. not if it’s you’ quote more than twice #so terrifying about the state of discourse lol #anne carson

tumblr users will have the most inaccessible, unreadable, low contrast, flashing carrd you can possibly imagine, with a dni full of insider acronyms with no translation and numerous link buttons labelled with cryptic captions, and then go ahead and put “ableists dni and kys!” on that carrd

#yeah i’m bitter about carrds becoming so hostile to disabled people #nobody with vision issues or photosensitivity or processing issues or epilepsy or memory issues could possibly read your carrd #small changes like proper colour contrast between background and text can make a world of difference in making your page accessible #even just spelling out the acronyms in your dni or mentioning WHERE a mysterious link will actually lead is so helpful #i see so many links that are just random literary quotes that turn out to lead to a mandatory dni. how would anyone know that?? #txt #accessibility #1000

RIP Annabeth, I just know Percy sacrificing himself for you, after knowing you for a week, after telling you that you’ve done more for him this week than his father ever has, is permanently altering the brain chemistry of your avoidant attachment self

#epitome of the quote: there is something really healing about being loved #which is from a book I CANT REMEMBER SO I CANT LOOK IT UP PROPERLY #let me know if you guys know what I’m talking about #i just know Percy’s actions had her on her knees #what is this? unconditional love? #is this why people make friends? #i am lovable? #this is amazing #oh shit my new friend is about to die #I’m so normal about them (I’m lying) #pjo #pjo spoilers #pjo tv show spoilers #pjo series #pjo tv show #percy jackson #annabeth chase #Percy and Annabeth #mine

obsessed with how ryan gosling's barbie promo consists solely of him treating the role like it's the joker and he's going he's going turbo but instead of becoming an insufferable douchebag to everyone around him he's just become a human bubble machine who only opens his mouth to spout FUN and spread the silly little guy agenda

#barbie #ryan gosling #every quote i see about ryan gosling as ken reminds me of that robert pattinson quote about method acting #'you only ever see people do method when they're playing assholes' <- he did this for u rob <3 #barbie movie

Alfred comes home and there's a whole noise from the kitchen.

Alfred: Is everything okay?

Damian: Dumbass is coming out.

Alfred: Oh.

Alfred (to Dick): ...I figured this day would come sooner or later...

Dick:

Alfred: Don't think I didn't saw it my boy, and pardon me if I should said something before...

Dick: No, no, no it's not

Alfred:... I mean It was obvious from the start but I figured I shouldn't press-

Dick: Alfie It's not

Jason: No, no let him finish.

----

Batman: Yes, my kid also came out to me recently.

Superman (to Dick): Oh wow, that's great! I'm proud of you buddy.

Dick:

Dick: What

Tim: It's me.

Superman: Oh

Superman: Oh wow, thats great! I'm proud of you buddy.

Dick: No, wait you can't just-

----

Jon: I'm just glad in not being alone in this, you know.

Titans:

Dick: It's not me.

Titans: "Oh, right. Sure." " Yeah we knew it" "Totally"

#I've been thinking about this since Tim came out beaceus that was pretty much every reaction from everyone I know #And i find fucking hilarious #Tim had more in lore logic but Grayson just screams queer energy and there's no way people around him didn't caught up onto that #jason todd #tim drake #dick grayson #batfam #incorrect quotes #batfamily incorrect quotes #the funniest part is that if gotham knights is cannon he might actually be and this is just him being confused #on how people think he'll need to come out #but if he's not he's the talk Valentina of the family and we love him anyway
