What's a little thing that's been blown out of proportion for you?

It's easy to hyperfocus on the small stuff in our lives, and we'd be better off if we could consistently remember to use a sense of perspective. What could you work on stepping away from that's been making things hard for you lately?

I've been paying too much attention to when I need to take the rescue medications for my headaches. Worrying about it just makes everything worse.

*glances at my recent long-ass rantylicious post about Someone being wrong on the Internet*

I'm doing perfectly fine myself, why do you ask?

Soothing vibes right back atcha, dear heart.

It's terrible how many people are Wrong On The Internet.

Hissy feelings over what's popular in a given fandom. I know my stuff's just as good as theirs, it's just not written to general tastes.

Though is it so wrong to want something different on rec lists? I know what I like is out there. I'd like for someone to tell me, instead of me having to go hunt for it. As a change of pace.

I'm sorry your Good Stuff is not also Popular Stuff. I'm familiar with this sentiment and I hatee it.

I think the only solution for "people don't rec what I want to read" is to go into reccing oneself, make enough of a presence that people will submit suggestions, and roll from there.
