The article really reads like the “high-risk exposure” means they weren’t wearing ppe, which is on par with medical settings where I’m at, with no one masking or even wearing gloves in some instances

Will do

Aw man, I was gonna give it a try because it was Wit and it has Mori’s Go Getters. Might skip it now. Appreciate the post.

Precious famoly!

Yes, they do

Amber whataboutism

I mean, earth bounced back after the Permian-Triassic extinction event, so, probably?

A beautiful dream

Quantum computing maybe

We can’t win

To me they ended up as the same thing. Give me a mandala coloring book and I will ‘zone out’ for countless hours without a thought. Maybe depending on your flavor of ND, meditation should actually require stimulation. It’s an interesting thought!

Thanks for not making me feel cringe for sharing

It is crazy how many negative ‘voices’ take up residence in our heads that we have no business carrying around. I hope you can find some inner peace comrade!!

It’s so exhausting! It feels dramatic to me sometimes, like NTs are looking for something else from a conversation beyond actually conversating.

What’s a ND character look like

I feel that craving for magic and cool swords!! I’ve somehow given myself some really great healing moments with world building where the person I imagined wanting to be able to have a conversation with would say the things I needed to hear …that sounds crazy and I’m incredibly vulnerable sharing this, but fuck it:

I once had an imagined conversation with a “therapist character” where I said all the things tormenting me (ex: I am an idiot, I am irredeemable, I am worthless) and the therapist character simply argued (ex: No, you’re not any of those things, are worthy of love and understanding) and it really weirdly helped with my negative inner monologue. Meditation couldn’t really give me that. Sorry for the rambling response, hope it’s actually relevant to what you’ve asked.

I can’t meditate in the traditional manner, and for me the closest thing is world-building in my head. I basically write a book without the actual writing, and get lost in some imaginary place. It’s the closest thing to meditation I’ve been able to achieve. Not sure if that’s technically dissociating or not at this point so take that with a grain of salt.
