Last month I went and got my sister's favourite watch repaired and she was really happy. Yesterday she told me someone said to her that her watch looks childish and she should grow up? I genuinely wanted to punch whoever said that in the face. She likes the watch, she will wear that fucking watch. It doesn't matter if it's a Mickey mouse watch or whatever. This kind of behaviour is just unacceptable.
It's just one example. I see people shaming others for what they post on the internet, the way they wear clothes, the way they talk, the way they walk. Even reading nowadays is seen as something "performative"... Why? I will judge someone for reading coleen Hoover but that's in my head. It is difficult to find your bearings in this digital age where everyone has a opinion about everything. If in this world, someone has a clear understanding of what they like, that is admirable. To shame someone for being different from us is just a projection of our insecurities

š¤This is such a classic human instinct and itās something we all have done at one pointā¦ Iāve been thinking about how I judge my dad (a working artist) and a friend of his (he was in a highly influential postpunk band that ended up breaking up and splintering into two bands, and he ended up staying in our hometown) for their aversion to āselling outā/their refusal to commodify and aggressively market themselves as artists. I kind of saw it as cope for their lack of commercial successā¦ yet Iām realizing that I do the same thing and I have the same obnoxious beliefs, which I likely internalized from them, and itās not even necessarily a bad thing it just means that I am decidedly not getting that bag which FEELS BAD in this capitalistic society and awful economyā¦ curiousā¦ what are some things you judge other people for that you yourself do or believe?

I have an acquaintance whose personality I have always found grating and today I finally realized exactly what it is that I dislike so much: they pride themselves on being an ideal consumer. They get chuffed as fuck at how well marketing works on them to the point of being borderline braggadocious about how quickly and deliberately they react to advertising; even when theyāve been duped or scammed they admire the way theyāve been fooled.
Itās so cartoonishly American, theyāre like a funhouse mirror that accentuates by own stupid fatso traits and stokes my most antisocial impulses. They say you should ālet people enjoy thingsā but thereās got to be a healthier middle ground where my friend stops enjoying adding to their credit card debt to see every Ryan Reynolds movie in IMAX and I stop enjoying hating them for it.

š”Bitch excuse me who made you God. People who are constantly looking down on people or making judgements about them based on nothing but their own lived experience. Just because itās something you donāt value doesnāt mean it holds no value. And then saying that what they think is true because of some stupid fucking reason thatās all anecdotal. Bitch shut get out of my face. Really any judgement thatās backed up by a fallacy.

š¬Y'all ever write a word and suddenly it looks wrong? Like, the word just looks unusual. Then you cross it out and write it again but it's still the same cause the spelling is right but it looks so wrong! And so you repeat, but it remains the same and at that point you're agitated! What the actual fuck is wrong with me!
And so you just ignore it and continue writing but it still bothers you. You look in the dictionary and the spelling is still the same and the word still looks wrong and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
