DAY 4 PM
I'm finding myself in situations where my stifled self is winning over my free-flowing self, and the feeling lasting about 30 minutes after the incident.
I think this is good because I can notice the conflict as well as the inner gears causing these feelings to spring up.
There is currently a major controversy (gender wars-tier stuff) which happened at a university; it has reared its head on social media, except the mainstream view is so fundamentally wrong about literally every detail of the case. I know this because I spent 30 minutes reading the primary sources, which includes a summary of the complainant's initial statements made under oath.
If you only read the news articles, then you'll have a severely skewed view of what happened. People are still plenty angry and demanding major shaming and legal consequences based on these false premises.
It's really making me loose faith in people's connection to reality, and their willingness to receive correct information.
