I recently turned into a popcorn guy so I had my wife get me microwave popcorn and the cheese powder. I’ve been trying to figure out a butter that is like the movie theater. Are there any other popcorn guys that could mentor me?

It helps that I'm childfree by choice but even frustrated caretakers need to understand their projection. I'm mostly speaking to the kids we encounter in public.
When children cry, I empathize. When they act cheeky, I laugh. These beings are who we were before the world broke us. Abusing social power over a child or being cruel at any chance is a deficiency as an adult. It is pitiful to harden a child because some adults hardened us. Kids are cooler than us.
I was let down by every adult when I was a kid and I could have grown up to be harsh on kids too but my favourite thing about my instinct is that I don't bully or ridicule children. Worst case, I'll sternly point out the risk of their behaviour but I never want a child to feel the way I felt.

I don't own pajamas to sleep in. I own pajamas to wear under my black velvet hoodie to become a fuzzy human plush doll in my down time.

Crazy cat lady? I wish I were that normal. I give pep talks to cut flowers in my home.

Please pray for my dying daughter. I said no more live plants because I'm no good at caring for them but I fell in love with her and now she sits in my home, tortured by my incompetence.

I'm not saying it is healthy but when you're the only person who is ever available to protect yourself, you start to look for ways to be proactive. When there is no one to help, you learn to help yourself, even at the cost of potential good. Being lied to is one thing but ignoring risk is self harm.
I don't want to have to lecture myself that I should have known better because I had the information that I was trusting the person who is trusted by someone I don't trust. Maybe it is neurodivergence, maybe it is just paranoia but either way I don't trust an implication of safety I cannot verify.
They kindly offered a very generous gesture and while I was touched by the effort, I politely declined. I have no reason to think this person knew their friend was harmful to me, much less wants to hurt me themselves, but I'm not putting myself in a compromising position. I am staying distant.

The other day I ran into someone I knew a while ago. Since we last saw each other regularly, it came to light that they were friendly with someone who was being off putting about my safety. It was nice to see them because I hold no grudges by proxy but I'm cautious about who I am vulnerable with.

I could be smart but I could just be jaded: if you don't explicitly tell me you're not friendly with my ops, I believe there's a chance you can harm me on their behalf. I need direct clarification, like looking into my eyes and making a declaration about your loyalties to someone who has harmed me.
