Me seeing other brands I& #39;ve never used: *paranoid mode on* I& #39;m just gonna say this brain is useless when it comes to simple decision making in life.
My eyes seeing new things, brain: heyyy go back to that familiar thingggg
This applies to Mcdonald& #39;s menus too. *new burgers and ice-creams on menu* brain: heyyy pick that burger and that ice-cream you& #39;ve always haddd
Also applies to choosing my nasi campur lunch menu. *picks up her usual 2 menus which is sardin & telur masin every single damn time she buys a lunch at the cafeteria even if it means 5 times a week*
There& #39;s that one episode on Black Mirror where the black guy cycles for points and chooses from the same machine for his meal, and that& #39;s torture for him? But that& #39;s like me, on a daily basis
Idk why my brain works like this tbh. But it& #39;s current main mode is - Go to what& #39;s familiar. Never try new things. That& #39;s the mode.
The day people make me wear new clothes & scarf is the day I most fear in my life. I could wear this new scarf, get to work, and arrive in office taking it off and use the familiar shawl I packed. And yet other girls hate wearing the same thing all month long. I& #39;m so weird..
There& #39;s like this crazy heartbeat thing going on whenever I try new things, clothes, food or places.
This thread exists because I have an interview tomorrow. Nervous af for this new thing in my life. Kept falling back to the thought- staying is good, you& #39;re familiar with this place. And at this rate, I just don& #39;t trust my brain.
Also I just came to realize this part of me after I was too nervous to meet some users the other day. Like making a simple trip to meet the same people but in a new place made me unnecessarily nervous. It& #39;s just weird.
I think maybe this is why I& #39;m always extra comfortable around elderlies and extra nervous around people my age or younger.
Alright let& #39;s do some reading
Reading about it is so interesting tho https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> I almost feel normal now. If you& #39;ve landed on this thread, go read about the mere exposure effect.
