Alex,
you ever get a chance to hang out with babies and preschoolers? Just for a little while?In my opinion, they are the best antidepressants in the world. I have never found a single thing that can cheer me up more than tickling a smooshie baby foot, or getting a shy 3-year-old to come out of his shell and tell me something fun about his life.
And yes, we mirror them, but they mirror us back. Something about their babyness is very incredible, in terms of the way that it changes the way that I act.
Try it sometime.
I'm addicted, personally. I think wee little ones are the most precious gift in the world. (except for the whole diaper/crying the middle of the night thing.
Alex, you're not defective. Try to go with the flow. Don't worry about the future, just worry about the very next thing you have to do. And do it. and so on and so forth. Reduce your cognitive load.
I'm going to go analyse my data now. I hope the descriptive statistics look promising, otherwise it could be a very long day.
((((alex))))
p.s. disembodied is fun- but don't you ever notice how your body might get tense when you're typing a response to a particular poster? or how you may laugh or cry on babble at times? Your body's along for the ride whether you like it or not.
I'm glad babble feels safe for you. IRL is scary. really scary. but mostly scary because we create the fear in our own minds.
Know any good exorcists in your area? Is it springtime there yet?
best happinesses and wallabies,
-Li
