The Cult Of "Busy"

"Bad Self" Talk

ETA: Not at FWD: Not Taking Care Of Yourself

And the same place: Abilities and Burnout - some interesting points about 'human does x weirdly when young, can't express why because doesn't have words yet, older humans say words to explain it, younger human accepts these words, younger human only works out that those words were wrong ten, twenty years down the line'.

(I remember, not long before we moved house when I was about seven, that I used to keep getting up and leaving my room after I'd been put to bed. My dad used to say something along the lines of 'ha, she doesn't want to think she's missing anything!' So, naturally, when some other family member asked what I was doing out of bed later on, I parroted back that answer. I don't remember the real reason. Also about that age, I used to parrot my parent's anti-smoking rants at smokers while they were smoking. *facepalm* My parents used to be quite chuffed that I 'obviously' knew what was what. No, I was just good at being told what to think and then believing that I'd thought it.)

Okay. Maybe I'm not as crazy as I seem. Maybe.
