When I was a kid and some *kitten* (because kids often are *kitten*) was being mean, I sometimes reminded myself that even s/he cried about something. It helped me sometimes to think of that - sometimes in a mean way and sometimes compassionately.
So true.
I was bullied my entire school life. I was bitter about it for ages and wished them ill. Then I learned later in life that the ringleader had a hard home life and I understood their anger as I came from a nice family.3 -
getting up in the middle of the night for the bathroom and stubbing your toe against something in the darkness
alternatively- hitting your shin against the edge of the coffee table2 -

Yep. And doing it repeatedly on the same part of your leg. Last week I did this to my shin twice in the same day...the first time it hurt, the second time it took my breath away, broke the skin and swelled with a big purple bruise

Anybody else ?? Just me ??
a guy i worked with years ago had a huge fly get stuck in his ear canal while he was on the job. he ended up getting sick and passing out from it and crying like a little girl. they had to go in and extract it and if im being honest its been a constant fear of mine ever since3 -

I will never look at a fly the same thanks to this post1 -

Excellent point!
This reminds me of some of the best advice I've ever had. It came from a 14 year old girl when a client was being an *kitten* to me, she said "it's not about you". I think this every time someone is a jerk to me now, who knows what's going on in their lives, and if I did nothing wrong, it's not a "me" problem, it's a "them" problem
You tried to explain this to me before and I didn’t understand. I think I get it now.
Which reminds me, I had someone tell me once that it's my fault if I get hurt feelings about something, because I "chose" to, or it was my interpretation, and it wasn't their intention.
This idea is still a mind *kitten* to me.
that sounds like something a sociopath would say tbh like saying *kitten* things to you then telling u it’s your fault if you feel bad about it, jmo
Possibly. Or it could just be a way of saying as adults we are responsible for our feelings and how we chose to interpret something. Often things said can be interpreted many ways but as humans we often jump to the most negative interpretation.
Someone looking at you:
They’re staring
They’re giving me a dirty look
They hate me
They’re going to attack me
They’re short sighted
They’re daydreaming
They fancy me
They think I look familiar
I remind them of someone

Yes! This for interactions with people in general, but especially people you don’t know or know well
Also when you know someone cares about you and would never want to hurt you, how could you take offense to something they say? If you care about me, I’m going to hear everything you say through that filter2 -

Yeah, I don’t really owe anyone the benefits of the doubt though I often give it. people really are sometimes *kitten* and it doesn’t matter that much to me what their intentions were.5 -
EVERYone can relate to the everlasting joy and love of a good Batmobile collection.
No?
Just me?
Really??!!
Alright. Weird… but alright.
