    I was really angry when I found out that most people aren’t being constantly mentally bombarded by a highlight reel of all of the fuckups they’ve ever done, all the time

    I was even angrier when their solution for me was ‘Just don’t let it bother you’

      I stopped caring when they forgot what I did and I forgot what they did that was embarrassing.

        But go you I guess
