digitalising this in a cold minute
The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.
Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”
Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”
The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.
Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”
Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.
Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.

hey so genuine question why do some people get so butthurt when someone just tries to complain about the state of the world?
if someone says they hate cops or politicians or the current cost of living can we not do the "go change it or shut up" thing? sometimes I just want to complain to my partner or my friend or my family, and no, as a 16 year old I DON'T find it doable for me. my only solace now is jumping to explain how much GETTING TO THAT POINT costs.
if someone has a problem finding good work, don't tell them to find a drastically out of reach job
if someone has a problem around the police, don't tell them to attempt to abolish/reform it all.
if I have a problem, a discomfort, or a worry, and I take it to someone close to me, I don't want the mistakes of men I'll never meet cast onto my shoulders.
