one of the most valuable life skills is discerning the difference between “this is bad” and “this is not for me”
#sometimes things are not for me BECAUSE they suck#sometimes… they’re just not for me#and since we don’t really culturally do a lot to incentivize knowing the difference and we do encourage thinking it’s always the same#it’s genuinely helpful to consider: is this thing bad or do i just not like it#i fucking hate raw carrots for example#no idea why they just don’t taste good and i hate the texture and always have#i might say “carrots are gross” jokingly but i need to be aware no they’re not#theyre just gross to me#and this sounds so simple but somehow it is very much not#i know this feels like a duh but it’s shocking how often i blur that line despite knowingfull well there IS a difference#and doing a pretty basic check on bad/not for me actually does a lot of deeper work in the long run#it allows me to interact with people the thing in question is for in a much less combative way#and to have a view of the world that doesn’t quietly assume my subjective preferences are empirical fact#little tools for big change in the longrun are a fav ngl
