I think i treat it much like looking at art in a gallery. You stop by every one of it and appreciate it as it is then move to the next. After i read anything that is horror or psychologically fucked up, if its good then i will prolly spend a few more mins or hours trying to understand it and then move on to the next one. I guess it depends on how y...... reply
If so, how do you think we should deal with it now? And if we don't do anything about it now, how do you think we will manage when it comes back to bite us in the future?
There are some things I don't read/watch anymore. For me it's not a genre but specific things/art style or topics that I can't process in a healthy way. I can read one horror/psychological story and love it, and the next I can't deal with at all. Now I force myself to stop reading, because I know it's not worth it, so as soon as I flip a page or se...... 1 reply
Was studying and motivating myself so I that I can try on learning korean after exams and with all these just took away my motivation... If u find smthg tell me too reply
I'm with you about being affected by it. The older I get, I actually become more sensitive to it.
I feel like as a teenager I could "handle" more extreme stuff because it just felt far away, but as I grew up I realized life can be gorey and horrible for real and I just can't consume it as easily anymore. reply
For me, I just read it like a story. After the last chapter is done, I write my thoughts on it, on how the story could be better or anything that impressed/motivated/saddened me. After it's done, I move on to a new story. I don't think I might be helpful much. But a few times, when I read Actual real-life case studies that's a lot to take, Reading ...... reply
Be a reader, not an actor. Just read, don't try to get into it too much (if it's messy and funked up) like an actor gets into a role or character. Observe, don't absorb. reply
I'll smoke and then do an activity that'll take all my attention while I'm high. I'll do a 3d puzzle (the kind that comes with like 4 pages of instructions and 200 steps) or play a video game or watch a random movie I've never seen. reply
I've tried some mindfulness exercises which are okay, but what works best for me is to lie down and close my eyes (or get outside and stare into nature) and narrate my favorite books or movies scene by scene in my head, in as much detail as possible. Great distraction. I end up making my own stories sometimes too. reply
depiction doesn't equal endorsement, but the choices made in depicting things matters to how it lands.
also going to add: impact vs intent. sometimes people mean well, or don't have malicious intentions for whatever they're trying to communicate. doesn't mean they can't cause insult or harm, and the response to feedback is often telling. reply
I just let things happen. And by drinking yes but not alcohol but coffee and that's my only guilty pleasure because I take coffee in an unhealthy amount in a day that I don't know why I haven't experienced palpitation yet but that aside I just let things happen like flip a coin and let it be head or tail cause no matter what I think or do I can't r...... reply
Bounce back isn't exactly the right word for me because at some point I like and love the complexity of horror or psychological stories or as you specifically said yaoi, not just the complexity but how it is entail and I absorb it like a delicacy I read for any genre I like/love. For me it's just to differentiate the situation and circumstances or ...... reply
'Things' are your daily life experiences by which you get to know the world around you. Tell others about the things you did, may it be cool, sad, crazy or funny. You can also find things that you might want to do and a friend to do it with!
