Some stupid meme will appear in my head while I’m in public and a stupid grin will force itself into my face and obviously I don’t want people to look at me and think I’m crazy, or worse ask what I’m laughing about and the only thing that was on my mind was “born to shit, forced to wipe”.

    Pleade dont. I mean it. Some time ago i was remembering back to a time when I was funny and it fucking shocked me. I used to make people laugh and laughed much more myself. Then over time life happened. Years of work, illness, family, relationships, the world. It was such a shitty feeling to see how the cynicism and demoralizing environment consumes us.

    I don’t want to go to an absolute like ‘ignore what everyone thinks’ because realistically it doesn’t work that way, but you should not strive to change your perception or internal wiring, but to be situationally aware when required. That’s what I think.

    Also let me tell you that I still get a little joy when seeing someone laughing or smiling in public, which I think is a good sign. Only the more deeply jaded will see that as a negative thing and give it importance. Five minutes later nobody will be thinking about it but you will still be a joyful person.

    Don’t stop. Use it as a litmus test. If they don’t get it, they don’t deserve your company. Yes even at funerals.

    “Hey guys can you help me disconnect from the fire hose of human joy to appease all the grumps around me?”

    We can’t and we won’t.

    Don’t. No matter how stupid you look, remember that it’s what makes you happy and that is a hundred more times important that people judging you. Don’t stop being a beacon of light surrounded by darkness.

    Don’t change.

    When people see you smiling, it will make them happy by-proxy.

    Be proud, laugh loud.

    Doesn’t sound like there is anything wrong mate. Keep grinning at the world. Smiling is infectious and we damn well need it!

    I think it’s about staying focused on what you’re doing. Pushing out irrelevant thoughts and focusing on what’s going on is a skill you can work on. In my mind, when something like that is making me giggle, the only thing that helps is not thinking about it. I’m bad at dealing with this too though.

        These are two types of cartoon sounds when a character snores.

        The “Inside you there are two wolves” is the name of a proverb which began being parodied towards the end of 2018 and through the beginning of 2019. In the original proverb, a grandfather says there are two wolves fighting inside him, an evil one and a good one. His grandson asks, “who will win?” The grandfather replies, “The one you feed.” In parodies, the story is often simplified to “There are two wolves inside you. One is X. The other is X. You are X.” The proverb’s actual origins are murky. It has been attributed to Christian pastor Billy Graham in 1978, as well as the Cherokee Native American tribe.

          If a televangelist said something approaching smart it means they swiped it from someone else. The only thing they care about separating dumb people from money, they’re just as dumb but more evil.
