I’m good at math

I am not going to have any meaningful impact on this world, so why bother giving it my all? Just take every day as it comes because in the end it doesn’t matter.

Most nonverbal cues vary wildly between people and situations, which makes them useless when applied to strangers. Only focusing on the obvious ones is worth the time.

Some obvious ones:

• walking away to end a conversation
• stepping back (wants space)
• looking away and not responding (wants to be left alone)

Some inconsistent ones I frequently hear stated as facts

• crossing arms is being defensive (they could just be cold!)
• looking away, but still talking, is showing disinterest (they might have difficulty with maintaining eye contact)

You are the average of the five people closest to you

This might not apply to people who are not Autistic or somewhat neurodivergent but… my therapist literally just pointed out to me a few weeks ago that I have Alexithymia (emotional blindness)

I have been much more in tune with my emotions afterwards and realized I was actually quite satisfied/content with life a lot of the times, it’s just that way too often I would not have known I was happy. So I guess if anyone’s also neurodivergent in some way it might be a good thing to look into

Humans are just a bundle of neurons floating around in a bag of chemicals.

Thanks, 30-year-old me! 🥰
