Beauty And The Beast Is Not A Romance

December 26, 2012

Beauty and the Beast (2012) is the television version of The Human Centipede ...

Internalizing other people’s negativity in this kind of “understanding” is not empathy or sympathy – its avoidance. It’s avoiding confrontation, pushback, and uncomfortableness. It’s even avoiding recognizing your own worth. You don’t have to ENDURE that which diminishes you.

■ In Case You Didn't Know ...

MEDIA IS SUBJECTIVE

Psychological transference is a redirection of internal feelings onto often unrelated external sources such as media or even people. My thoughts and feelings about things are personal and specific TO ME and have nothing to do WITH YOU. If you are triggered, seek help and healing. Don't take your emotional and mental dysregulation out on strangers because you don't like how they express their personal experiences with media.

This is my life, not a conversation.
