Scary Thoughts

2025/11/23 Edited to

... Read moreMany people experience loud, self-critical thoughts that can deeply impact how they feel about their bodies. For instance, it’s common to show one’s body multiple times in photos or social media yet still harbor negative feelings about it. This internal conflict can be confusing, especially when there are contradictory emotions, such as loving something symbolic like flowers but simultaneously hating one's own body. Understanding these feelings is important for improving mental and emotional wellbeing. Self-critical thoughts often stem from societal pressures and unrealistic beauty standards that make it difficult to appreciate our own bodies. It’s helpful to acknowledge these thoughts without judgment and to actively practice self-compassion. Affirmations and focusing on the body's strengths beyond appearance can shift perspective. Another useful approach is to surround oneself with supportive communities where people share vulnerabilities about body image. This sense of connection reduces isolation and encourages acceptance. Lastly, engaging in activities that promote body positivity, such as mindful movement, creative expression, or even gifting oneself flowers, can nurture a kinder relationship with the body. Recognizing and confronting harsh thoughts paves the way toward healing and embracing self-worth beyond physical appearance.

A person walks away on a paved path through a lush green forest, with other people visible further ahead. The image has a text overlay asking, 'Is this normal or is it OCD?'
Numerous small wooden prayer tablets (Ema) hang on a wooden board under a large tree. An overlay text expresses fear of non-existence and feeling small when contemplating it.
A busy city street scene with pedestrians, buildings, and traffic lights under a cloudy sky. An overlay text describes the loneliness of contemplating death, a universal experience with no clear answer.
Anyone else get these scary thoughts?
Sometimes I catch myself wondering what really happens after we die. The thought creeps up on me at random moments… when I’m lying in bed at night or staring out the window lost in thought. It’s like this quiet wave of curiosity mixed with fear that I can’t shake off. I think part of me just wan

this is how I manifest people SCARY fast🙂‍↕️
and yes, if you want your manifestation to come in ASAP, you need to be affirming 24/7. which isn’t actually hard to do because affirmations are just thoughts that you loop over.. and over.. and over again. you’re already thinking 24/7, so just replace that thought loop with what you want to experi

Books to control your thoughts
My brain used to feel like a never-ending group chat I couldn’t mute. 💬 Overthinking every decision, replaying embarrassing moments from years ago, stressing about things that hadn’t even happened yet. It was exhausting. 😮‍💨 I thought the solution was to just “stop thinking so much” (as if it we

So what’s your thoughts on this?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works fragrances. Some people say they’re not “real” perfumes and feel juvenile or kiddie—what do you think? Personally, I like them but see them more for casual moments like running errands, hitting the gym, or going to bed. I

I’ve been going to Ohio State for the last 2 years and when I was thinking of committing to a college, I applied to 30 colleges and toured 6 of them. I chose OSU because of the community and the wide range of resources on campus. When you think of committing to a school, try to consider all of t

Thoughts about my retro fujifilm digital camera 📷
I bought my Fujifilm FinePix A345 last year on eBay for around $40. Additionally, I spent almost the same amount to get the appropriate memory card 🥲 It took me some time to get used to the shutter speed lol  But I love how the pictures look! The videos look awful though, but I expected that
