Oh, it's definitely extreme! It feels weird to feel so strongly about it. I should probably talk to a therapist about it.

For some reason, this affects me a lot more than I want to admit.

Going through this right now myself and it's definitely one of the weirder feelings I've had recently.

Ouch. True. So weird for me to feel that way.

Yes.

I find myself more and more at the two extreme ends.

Either it streams or it is physical.

The skeuomorphic middle is mostly more pain than gain.

It's exhausting. I wish there were a way to quantify this, because it feels more and more unabashed, egregious, common and normalized.

Yes. This is it. When I wrote the above I couldn’t quite put my finger on why I felt like this but this is the reason. It’s the slippery slope of mine / yours.

I have this too. I find it disturbing.

Can you explain why you feel so.

KyeRussell | karma 1171 | avg karma 1.58 · | 2023-05-09 08:20:50

Yep. It pretty genuinely makes me feel like I’m doing that Wrong Thing.

eropple | karma 27047 | avg karma 2.87 · | 2017-08-14 09:14:34+00:00

Is that why it feels so awful? I haven't run into behavior quite like that before.

lemagedurage | karma 317 | avg karma 3.87 · | 2018-01-23 12:38:48+00:00

It feels intrusive to be honest.

kelnos | karma 35726 | avg karma 3.07 · | 2021-02-19 18:07:08+00:00

I hadn't thought about this aspect of it, but that's completely the case for me as well. It's emotionally draining in a way I didn't realize.

drewbeck | karma 455 | avg karma 2.84 · | 2023-07-05 16:25:01

heh, for sure! I know I'm more sensitive to this kind of stuff than others are. I wish I could let this stuff go

Thanks for posting this. I have been having similar feelings recently, and it is always good to know you aren't the only one.

bombela | karma 1263 | avg karma 2.75 · | 2023-06-18 20:24:44

This resonates a bit too much with me.

technologia | karma 267 | avg karma 1.93 · | 2018-04-19 11:49:17+00:00

Ah, a fellow masochist, I totally get what you mean; sorry if I seemed defensive/agitated.

riversflow | karma 1239 | avg karma 1.86 · | 2022-12-22 15:04:37

I can honestly say I’m pretty good at this and feel like its more of a burden to me in my life so far. I no longer know anyone who shares this trait, and most people find even hearing me talk about it uncomfortable.

Perhaps I will get the opportunity to use it someday, but as of now it is really just emotionally taxing to have many uncomfortable thoughts that I have to bottle up.

This resonates with me a lot, but I don't really know what to do about it.

miteyironpaw | karma 22 | avg karma 2.44 · | 2020-07-29 11:40:33

That's how I feel too although it's the hardest category for me to judge objectively
