I love thinking I’m a hater and then meeting a real hater and going wow that does not look fun actually. Going back to my lukewarm hater ways. Performative haterdom. I couldn’t name five hater bands.
“never kill yourself” is such a funny phrase to me that i think it’s accidently started working. its like an affrimation. say ‘never kill yourself’ enough times as a joke and maybe you won’t try to kill yourself over minor inconviences anymore
I like the combination of it with the Litany Against Fear
“You must not kill yourself. Killing yourself is the yourself killer.”
i think far too many people have only seen this video as that one sped up gif version of it and that is a crime that needs to be fixed because this video actually changed my life
the way my partner talks about my ocd is so hilariously on point. for context, i experience a lot of verbal compulsions (feeling like i Have to Say a Certain Thing to magically fix another) and he just told me. “most of the time it’s easy to spot a compulsion cause literally nobody asked”
i’ll tell him that i want to watch a movie and then I’ll specify out loud “you do not have to comply with my wish, but it was good to freely express it just as it is good for you to freely refute it” and he will look at me dead in the eye and say “who asked. compulsion”. it’s just brutal
this is genuinely such good OCD treatment partnership though. acknowledging the compulsion & refusing to participate in the OCD narrative & reassurance loop. we love to see informed support.
