I dunno man ¯\(°_o)/¯ my new life philosophy is that sometimes you can't think your way out of negative feelings. I think this is a kinda trap that verbal or introverted people fall into, this fallacy that everything can be internally articulated and weighted. If you're doing whatever you need to be doing and there's nothing actionable to think through, just let it fade away.

No, wait, I can foresee problems with that too, namely that I hate scrapbooking.:-) This morning a reader (who is a MeFite) told me via Twitter that she was so bothered by the constant body policing on my blog she'd decided she needed to stop following it. I wrote this special extra post in response.
