so im sitting in the [Public Food Eating Area] and oftentimes i have a negative thought: i think people around me might be thinking: "haha lol lmao that guy is eating fries so weird!!! weirdo." and this makes me upset. but! i came up with a countermeasure. when this happens i just press a button and i think: "what? you think you're that special? you think you're that important that random people have an opinion of you? you are a fuzzy little background character that doesn't even get 5 fps. stop it." and the thoughts go away! this probably doesn't work for everyone because some people would still feel bad because of the second thought, but i don't really mind it. having control over how substantial you are in a social situation is pretty cool i think.
