Just Stop

The emotional, psychological, and spiritual nature of art and our attachments to it are sometimes impossible to sever. I don’t think such things can be forced upon people. Trying to get someone to love a book or a movie or a song you love …. trying to push your experience and expectations upon them is … off putting and weird.

■ 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.
