some people trigger me so easily it’s scary. Most of them are loud, lazy coworkers that somehow piss me off very easily.

Is this a normal reaction to morons?

it’s not like I want to punch them, I’m simply relaxed and work better when I don’t have to see them. They slow me down.

    Stoicism helped me. The dichotomy of control.

    “You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this and you’ll find strength.” -Marcus Aurelius

    Basically everyone is responsible over their own thoughts and actions.

      That’s not true. You sound like you’re white as fuck :| you don’t think there are things that can influence someone’s brain and body? Human, human technology, or a wide variety of non human things?

      Should Google (edit: Kagi*) DMT trip reports as one example.

            Idk man, those numbers are a pretty good indication that you’re wrong. Although doubling down might work this time.

                It’s not a matter of being a hive mind, it’s agreed upon decency. I hope you’re only like this on the internet, for your sake.

                  Lost a close family member a few days ago. Haven’t experienced loss like this before so not handling it great. Appreciate you writing this out

                    Sorry to hear that, I hope you get through it alright. It’s easy to lash out at people when grieving, but it will eventually turn into a disservice to yourself. If you want to somebody to spill your shit too, send me a PM. Sometimes it just takes writing it out
