This Background Music is from the Movie "Society of the Snow" (2023). This movie is based on the true IncidenT in which Uruguayan Air Force PlanE Crashed into the Glaciers in the Andes Mountain (1972). 45 people on the board were were Ruby Players. 29 passengers died. 16 survived in which 14 are still alive. Well, I tried my best to play the background music. I am not even 1% of this Original Soundtrack / Background Music. But trieD. KeeP smilinG. NguP. 🎸 👽....
“He had already learned what it had taken Senlin too long to discover: intimacy was not about maintaining the idealistic charade of courtship; it was about embracing and adoring flaws, the very things which he had never been able to admit in himself.”
Alot and most of people don't realise that narcissist aren't mentally okay and are just like that naturally
Which can be the case for some but it can also be a trauma response or PTSD in many cases.
So taking that into consideration, Kieran Valentine being a narcissist was a thing back in his showing of wdgfil and he probably saw a psychotherapist to help him with his problems. ( that's one hell of a therapist )
Spelldon has probably helped him in many ways as well, hell he might even be a safe space for Val to tell his feelings to until he sees his therapist. ( Whisp pushed him to even see a therapist in the first place because he was down in the dumps in general and needed mental guidance.)
I need people to understand that narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a mental disorder and is just as valid as the other disorders out there.
( can you tell I took psychology of the individual :])
Just got to the part of Let This Radicalize You where they detail different responses to "major health threats" as outlined in The Psychology of Pandemics by Steven Taylor.
Some ppl are "monitors", who seek out info "to cope with uncertainty."
"Meanwhile, others are prone to what's known as "blunting" behavior, which involves 'the distraction from, and minimizing of threatening information.'"
"Still others exhibit what's known as "unrealistic optimism bias," characterized by the belief that they are more likely than others to evade harm and experience positive outcomes."
[more on optimism bias]
"Research has shown that monitors are responsive to emotional appeals as well as detailed info abt risk factors & harm reduction strategies, whereas blunters are likely to avoid such messaging; for them, simple, logical messaging is likely most effective."
"Understanding these different reactions is essential to effective messaging and highlights the importance of taking multiple approaches in our organizing."
This thread is really putting into words that I think a major problem with communicating w/ loved ones who are "back to normal" wrt COVID is that many of us are using monitor messaging for folks who are more likely than not blunters.
Every time I do skin care that involves exfoliating any part of my body ...it feels as if I'm removing a layer of skin...to reveal my true identity as a demon from hell 💅🏻
there's probably some interesting patterns of like. predator vs prey therians. it really does seem like carnivores are much more common at least on tumblr
absolutely wild to me that a spa day is widely considered to be a refreshing and relaxing indulgence, given that much of it seems to involve other people touching you and doing various things to your body, which is a deeply unpleasant experience that i generally only grudgingly put up with for the sake of tattoos
I’m rereading alongside a Tor.com reread club from back after Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen was first published.
Some excerpts as they pertain to the current book:
“In most cases where I’ve only read the book once, it’s because it hasn’t been convenient. I lost my copy, or it came out after A Civil Campaign and I was busy rereading that. Whether I’ve read the book one time or a thousand, I usually give it a thoughtful skim before embarking on the reread. This time, we’re flying blind because Mirror Dance is terrifying.” - Staring Into the Abyss of Mirror Dance
“Nothing clearly bad has happened yet. Mark gets on the Ariel and no one gets tortured or dies. That’s it. We’re OK. Everyone is OK except Mark.” - Chapters 1-2
“As of the end of chapter four, no one has been killed.” Chapters 3-4
I share Ellen Cheeseman-Meyer’s sense of looming dread. Here it comes.
Just finished this movie, and oh. My. God. Highly recommend. Francisca is fascinating and concerning, and the actress who plays her just does an amazing job. The scene when she's older and dancing in the living room? Horrifying and yet hauntingly beautiful. I love this movie, and suggest it for anyone who likes psychological horror. It wasn't particularly scary to me, but moreso left me uncomfortable and unnerved and yet enthralled. I loved it
