Does anyone else distract themselves with another imaginary stressing thought/occurence so they can deal with the real stressing thing better?

This family gathering I had the other day. I had this conversation.

Me: I can eat fifty eggs.

Mother:Nobody can eat fifty eggs.

Sister:Did you ever eat fifty eggs?

Father:Nobody ever eat fifty eggs.

My Grandma:My boy says he can eat fifty eggs, he can eat fifty eggs.

Me:A hour. fifty eggs an hour.

Father: You're a goddamn liar.

I then knocked my father through a brick wall.

True story. Totally true story.

Imagination... Hmmm. Yeah, I have that. But in a distressing situation. I think , what I do is. What I normally do, is distract myself, yes. But not with negative things, To get away from negative things, I go towards positive things, or things that elicit a calming relaxation. A positive mood.

I guess also I do what you describe here also. In a sense it's re-framing the situation. Putting things in perspective. Alot of things which feel life and death at the moment, are generally not that big a deal. "Oh so and so broke down and needs repairing," well Atleast I'm alive and breathing. It's not that bad. " or "Well people are starving, homeless, wars in Europe, et etc. I actually have it good, now that I think about it." I guess something like that. So many things that are personal upsets, are really just minor, and insignificant, in the grand scheme of things.

One of the reasons I go for walks through the woods on my own so much is that there's some slight danger to it all so I need to pay attention to what I'm doing (mostly the bad snakes), which distracts me from what ails my mind with something tangible (usually emotional pain from life and mental illness being what bothers me). I can handle this with a clear head compared to most things. It brings some peace. Distraction therapy is one of the best forms of such around regardless of what one uses for distraction IMO.

Which was on my mind funnily enough.

I don't know what kind of change I'm going through now. This is just something new to me.

It seems like a positive change -- commentaries told me, stock knowledge told me.

Yet I don't know what to do with it.
I'm ¼ lost and clueless. Because that ¼ are composed of impulses that I'm rather used to have.

Will Smith was 100% in the right.

Had to google it, because I don't pay attention to such things. You're right.

Yikes. I now have an explanation for a strange photo set I saw some time ago. The distance on display may not even have been true, it's just want you wanted to project at the time. To put that person in their place. You probably really did like them, but on that day you were extending to them your newfound status, and you wanted them to know it. You omitted the best photos you took, and the best one they came away with was really awkward. And that was intentional. Yikes.

Mine isn't through self discipline.

It just... Disappeared. By leaving the life revolving around the rewards system in my head.
Then the cravings for me left like it wasn't there in the first place.

:lol: Now I don't know how to fill up that gap, even if I have ideas of what I would fill it with.
The gap is spilling to my other impulses of reading random and directionless stuff. At least this is less expensive.

You didn't know I'd come all the way up there looking for you, but you did know I'd worry. Coulda saved me the trip with a phone call, but that's beside the point. You coulda avoided making me worry with a phone call, but the worry was intentional, wasn't it? Made me think of you, didn't you? That was unnecessary. Of course I was thinking of you! Well, at least your mom got to go home early, lol. That was so worth it! :roll:

"Did they tell you...?"

They don't tell me what's going on in their own life, why would they tell me what's going on in yours?

I have a cat allergy but I quite like the little buggers. Is there a way of having one as a pet without the allergy making one's life a misery? Please don't just point me to the hairless ones :lol:

Deactivated my facebook account a few days ago.

Some time ago I noticed a friend, a casual friend, had deactivated their facebook account round about Christmas, after having said they were going to spend Christmas with their ex. I thought the two things might be related. Like the latter had gone really badly. So, I called someone who was closer to them than I was, to be sure they knew what was up, because facebook doesn't make it obvious a friend has deactivated their account, and I thought this common friend could be more supportive than I could.

I was put in my place. I was told I could have texted. Can you feel the love? Beside the point, lol.

Now, I'm not expecting anyone to notice I've deactivated my account. I've done this before and been gone for months without anyone noticing. But the lack of reciprocity doesn't go without notice, and some irritation. Am I being petty for wishing there was someone who would notice and give a crap?

Enjoying one fewer medium through which the world can tell me how unimportant I am, though. f**k facebook.

Canada has settled on the Lockheed Martin F-35.

Never new Will Smith was so gangsta.


Will Smith a certified G. I not gonna say it was right...not 100%...but yeah....he was trippin. LOL. Chris was dissin. Bad boy, bad boy, what ya gonna do. When fresh prince slaps s**t out of you. I still believe this was staged. Will has never been this emotional. He has such a clean image. So uncharacteristic. Wild.

Jada must have said something...It's the only explanation.
