You’ll realize everyone else is looking at one and that that is kinda depressing and that you are superior to everyone in that space for resisting your temptations

I often think of myself as an alien sent to observe human life. One of the ways I like to do this is by sneaking a lil look at what other people are looking at on their phones when I’m on the tube or the bus, to see what they’re texting, listening to, or reading (they’re usually on Whatsapp). It’s just a nice lil reminder that this is a whole city teeming with life and individual stories that are surrounding us at all times. I don’t see it as an invasion of privacy cause I usually just go “huh!” and immediately forget about it. Except that one time I saw a guy’s phone password was 000000. I think about him all the time.

If I’m working on my laptop or my notebook in a public place with other people working around me and I get bored so I get out my phone to start doomscrolling, I immediately think everyone around me is looking at me and judging me for being on my phone instead of working hard like they are. And I immediately get back to work. Embarrassment can be a good motivator!

if you cant get yourself to put your phone away quite yet, just get yourself to look at the room behind your phone, or the real world, as a constant practice. its like when the screen used to go black between eisodes of netflix loading. a reality check. it feels good, i promise. foreground the bavkground, even for a moment. be kind to yourself

No I will not be going in it, but its existence does somehow have an impact on my stay.

And then you order an xtra large popcorn and act like you‘re ordering it for two people but you are eating all of it by yourself aren’t you? you then get a stomach ache with an hour left to go in the movie and have to leave.

They should be judged. You can’t just skip over thanksgiving.
Or you’re not allowed to eat at thanksgiving, you just have to sit there and watch me stuff my face
