With love in my heart and sincerity in my words, this is not a group lacking in the "feelers" personality.

I can understand what rvasc is saying about avoiding things that make you feel. I think it’s separate from the art thing though. In general, if you are avoiding things to keep your feelings bottled in instead of processing them than it could be unhealthy or lead or unhealthy habits.

I don’t care about the whole art part of this conversation, but yeah, I don’t gravitate towards emotional movies or TV because I’m a high empath and I don’t need to be taking on emotions from fictional characters. Shows like This is Us just feel like work for me. It’s almost emotional manipulation and for ME I’m not into it. I tend to consume entertainment and art that makes me laugh and smile.

In general, if you are avoiding things to keep your feelings bottled in instead of processing them than it could be unhealthy or lead or unhealthy habits. oh for sure. But that seems well beyond movies and things like that. I don't think putting yourself into.. IDK the right word...un necessary emotional situations (and that can include positive feelings, I can be just as affected by overly happy emotions too) is always what someone needs. If I need to cry, and in the place where that would serve me, trust I am looking up dogs greeting babies videos on You Tube. Shit gets me every time.

basically, I need FULL CONTROL over when/where I shed my tears.
maybe it's more based in my control issues

I also did not conflate the art and feelings conversations. I made a comment with two giant qualifications not directed at anyone in general that you are taking personally, and I am confused.

I don't think you're making digs at me and I'm not taking any of it personally. We're talking about emotions, and I'm contributing my thoughts. Which can only be based on my experiences. Others are agreeing, so clearly it's not me alone. Frankly, you seem to be taking it personally that I had a reaction to your post and wanted to engage further, so IDK what to say.

Also this was the comment that made me clutch my pearls re:art. I love it for the artists, but please just stay over there with your art and let me deal with the concrete realism of life. - bruxThen Jelly said poetry made her roll her eyes. These are not statements that support: “I can respect the contributions that art makes to society in general even if they aren’t my thing.” But I am super over taking about this for 55 pages, so I agree to disagree.

Both of those are about their feelings on the topic. Do we seriously have to qualify to that minute a detail? That's seriously why the "I love it for you" nonsense had to be jokingly started in the first place. So maybe I'm just as flabbergasted at your reaction as well.

Most of the stuff that’s considered art and super cultured stuff is boring and overrated. I have a lot of issues with what’s considered cannon anything in general. I equate those people who say cinema rather than movies. Automatic eye roll.

for my part in that, maybe 'roll my eyes' was harsh, but it was a common throw-away remark simply to explain my exasperation of not wanting to sit and listen to it, not that the art itself wasn't a meaningful thing.
I know you know, but just want to re-clarify

My bet is on Rainbow though. He's pretty scrappy. Bernie* has survived a lot. He had a funky eyed infection, I overestimated how much food to give him when we are on vacation and he had a hurt fin when I let DS help me move him when I was cleaning his tank. *named after Bernie Kosar not Sanders to be clear As someone who has nursed a goldfish back to health, this is amazing level of commitment to a fish. I’m impressed and also feel your pain.

Rodents can be litter trained I mean that’s just the baseline. Beady eyes are in the list too. Gross hairless tails are on there. Nasty looking teeth. The list is long. I am very late, but ever since I had to take a class on all the nasty disease rodents can carry (for a research position), I have been a firm no on ever having them as pets. Ever.

I had a boyfriend who took me to all sorts of fancy stuff like the Opera. I loved the experience but omg that shit is so boring. There was a lady sniffing when that Mimi chick died. I was 👀
He also took me to the philharmonic and the only stuff I remember was that it was Vivaldi night and they did this one bit that morphed into the Tequila song. So there’s how cultured I am.

I have never been to an Opera but whenever I hear music from one, I get that fluttery stomach feeling.
I think I'd like it quite a bit, but I'm not in the space to take it on.
