it frustrates me whenever i hear "people should be encouraged to sit in their own thoughts without distractions like social media or video games" because it becomes entirely apparent that people who say that do not contend with intrusive thought patterns and excessive paranoia
it's thanks to distractions like youtube, video games and cohost that im not constantly pestering my girlfriends like "hey you didn't immediately respond to me as soon as i sent a message, do you hate me now"
like i know they don't suddenly hate me, im just bipolar. but also those thoughts are fucking hard to squash, and i'd rather use the tools i have at my disposal to push those thoughts out of my mind! because "sitting in your thoughts" is a death sentence to me, thank you!
