Seeing shyt that I think is obvious and other people looking at me like I'm crazy. Water is still wet, right? The sky is up and the ground is still down right?
I have to ask b/c little shyt that i take for granted these days is debated. Lmao!
Also I like to take a situation, and view it from afar to see what it looks like. Mentally it's a really cool exercise I used to take my students through to gain perspective.
I do this with friends and family and they think I'm being contrary or insensitive. I sympathize but I also like to tap into personal responsibility as a source or autonomy. If u know realistically that you are actually to blame for most of the fukkery in ur life then you also are the one who has the power to change it. To me it's exhilarating knowing how much power I have over my own life.
But people don't like the idea that their actions are what led them to their current state. They don't hold that orb of power well. They either fall into self-loathing or become defensive and blame others out of denial. Or admit to it quickly and just sit on their autonomy and waste opportunities to make a change.
Procrastination too. Right now as we speak I should be packing for a conference im flying to tomorrow, completing a research based paper, a single case design proposal, logging in behavior data, starting a position paper, running some descriptive statistics for stats class and doing my taxes.
But it's so much more interesting to discuss shyt like this, go walking with my neighbor, or play Overwatch...ooh look that's a cute shirt in Target, omg why is my ex still texting me...oooh I can make a keto apple coffee cake since he cooking orange chicken, I need to get a money order for rent...
...I hate this treadmill...
...gotta pick up some shotgun shells...
Guess I need to shave since it's so hot outsi--oh shyt I still gotta pay that parking ticket.
In short, I'm easily distracted and am only motivated by the rush of the last minute and this has bitten me in the ass a LOT.
Which is why I love men b/c they bring a calming, focused energy to my life.
