23) I come across as terribly judgmental on some things I’m really not. I’ve always been outspoken about a lot of things, but my point of view isn’t based so much on my moral compass so much as on overall mental health, happiness and well-being. Anything pleasurable, when done to excess, decreases your sensitivity to it and you require more and more of it to get your fix. Whatever your pleasure- sex, alcohol, food, etc. When you’re as sensitive to stimuli as I am, avoiding excesses isn’t just a good idea, it’s medically necessary. This makes it SO easy for me to stay on track and enjoy easy, built-in moderation of most of my diversions and pleasures with almost no effort on my part. I’m starting to realize now that other people just aren’t built like me and some really struggle with self-control. It doesn’t make them bad. It just means their battles against themselves are harder than mine.
