    Every single time, my brain goes “no! Now I’m going to maim myself out of spite,” and then I feel like an asshole for (internally) responding like that to someone trying to help

      I’m often surprised how much of an asshat people can be, shouting from what is likely the most valuable portable possession they own. Be a damn shame if something should happen to it.

    I think it’s often a short hand to get people to slow down and pay attention. Be careful! Take it slow, no rush.

    I find being told to “be careful” irrationally irritating, especially when I’m on foot or on my bike and I’m told to “be very careful” before going on a road. Like, of course, if nobody told me I would have let a car hit me. Or if one hits me, it’s because I wasn’t careful enough.

    I understand what people mean when they say that before going on the road, but every time my brain is just like “ok, but some it I can’t control”.
