Why do the posts that cut the deepest always appear in communities like shitposting and the like? I say to myself as I try to pretend this post doesn’t involve me.
Because shitposting doesn’t have a theme. Some of it is silly. Some of it is offensive. Some of it is introspective. A good shitpost should get a laugh, but also make you think; either if the offensive trash has a modicum of accuracy, or about life in general.
The best brain worms are delivered when we aren’t looking for them.

It took me until my late thirties but I figured it out. I break my mental freeze from a compliment by just saying out loud what just happened. I say, “That was a compliment.” Then natural empathy and politeness take over and I continue with, “Thank you for the kind words.” This can happen simultaneously with feeling and silently processing the shame and discomfort that being complimented causes.
Good luck everyone.
Looks perfectly fine to me.
