Sometimes the opposite of perfection is exactly what happens.

Yesterday, when I was not in panic attack mode but still feeling triggered and nervous, my friend who normally doesn't really focus on the bad news of the world suddenly started talking about how AI could wipe out jobs and I said I can't talk about this right now and she said oh but there are people who are getting together and forming committees to address it, and also, sorry I didn't mean to trigger you but thank you for telling me. This is would be my tall and thin friend who has lots of people in her family who are the opposite of television (lol, tall and thin) and more like me. And she doesn't seem to have an eating disorder that makes her feel like she has to disrespect others just because she's been told thin is better. Also she's a mother of two but she doesn't have an attitude about it that makes you feel inferior or less than for not being a biological mother, and in fact she actually lost one of her children at a very young age. It is interesting how some people will teach you raise the bar when it comes to other people's behaviors, though.
