You will read whatever you want into that previous toot, and there’s no way I can stop you. Do yourself a favor and don’t #overthink it.

If you’re looking to be angry about current events, there are handles with far more followers tooting far more explicit and abhorrent things, some of them substantially true.

Perhaps look to be #informed. Then you will at least know why you feel angry. Inchoate #rage does not suit you.

This one might sound trivial to some but to me it’s a trip outside the comfort zone.

I went to get my son at work like I normally would but this time I went earlier than usual. Nothing too crazy so far.

I normally park closer of the entrance and this time there’s no available spot so I park a bit further. Again, nothing unusual, just normal.

I tend to just park forward but this time I decided to just back in the parking spot because I was using my truck. I don’t like to park that way but it’s simpler since I’ll see my son going out the door. Again, just pratical, right?

Now comes the interesting part and why I started with this introduction: there’s someone parked on my left and this person just backed away and went for gas in front of where I am. I notice the hood of the car seems open or maybe not properly locked. Normally, I’d just let it go as maybe it’s just broken or the person might not like to be approached by a stranger or whatever reason I tell myself so I don’t have to get out of the truck and go talk to this person.

I decide to just go because this could be dangerous and if this person is annoyed or blows me off or finds me ridiculous, it doesn’t matter. I put my anxiety aside and go. I politely say I think the hood might be unlocked and sure enough it was.

All this to say that if I have been late to pickup my son or parked the other way or in the usual spot or I didn’t decide to go talk to this person, this might’ve turned out differently.

I don’t say this for glory or pats on the back. No.

The crucial part to remember in all of this is I decided to go and talk even when anxiety and pure laziness told me otherwise: just by talking to someone, you might be able to prevent something bad to happen.

Act when you see something wrong instead of simply think it’s not your job. Safety is the job of everyone.

I'm trying to take advice and input in good faith and with grace but damn it if you tell me to have fun and don't #overthink it my brain is definitely already like a room in a crime drama where they tack up index cards and connect everything with a thousand pieces of red string (or one long one) like I'm trying to find a serial killer.

I miss just doing class. 😥

Hmmm...about me...

I’m just a Gen-X who doesn’t like concentrated power in anyone’s hands. Unable to convince even one person I know to leave Facebook or Google, I’m branching out on my own and discovering the Fediverse.

I enjoy #reading #yoga #mbti #strengthtraining #photography #psychology

I am an #ISTJ who is a #9w1 #Enneagram and an #HSP. I #overthink everything. Married to another ISTJ, I have an #ISFP best friend in #Venezuela.
