minus-squareGibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·22 days agoI downloaded the Inspector Gadget cartoon thinking it’d be great to watch. Except I didn’t realise that if you had a crummy youth, nostalgia just brings back all the fear you used to feel. No more nostalgic stuff from childhood for me. Never occurred to me before that this is something that might happen. Gratefully, that time is long ago now.

minus-squareSituationCake@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·22 days agoIt’s amazing how triggers can lurk for decades totally unknown to you that they even exist, until one day they happen. Stressful childhoods are a life long affliction. I’m envious of people who had pleasant childhoods. It’s a life cheat code.
