“Human beings have the tendency to reassure themselves. And this is ongoing. Meaning, ive noticed the door is locked every time. Instead of coming out and saying the door is closed, I have to ask you what you think about the door being closed all the time to reassure myself that the door is or is not closed for a certain reason. I had a certain view of whats going on, and then instead of coming out and saying hey, this is whats going on, I ask you tos ee if you think the same thing or not and the question is to compare it with mine. We all may do it in a certain different way, but we are all still doing it. Reassuring ourselves. Why do we all care so much?
Tell the person what theyre thinking in the form of a question telling/asking others to even further reassure.
I think its fucking incredible.
Hit this.
Shit.”
“Is calling a rabbit a rabbit because it eats lettuce a stereotype? No, because thats what rabbits do. All rabbits. All humans [have a tendency to reassure themselves].”
