see, i often shake uncontrollably as part of my standard-fare freeze response. a naive version of myself might say that this is proof I am a bad person in some way-- after all, however i fucked up minorly to cause a freeze response in myself, it's surely made worse by the fact that my body is "admitting" to this being a whole ordeal and not just a passing mistake.

but a few months ago there was a mouse in the house. i was of course having a rough one, because there were also two cats in the house and i felt the responsibility to not let the mouse die. so i silo off the cats in the room, try to catch the mouse, and... it's just sitting there. shaking.

see, the best explanation of me shaking uncontrollably is not that i'm a bad person. it's because that's what mammals do when they need to discharge adrenaline. or, for short: i'm not a bad person, i'm just a mammal.
