35 People Share What They Will Never Mess With Again

We're not. I mean, we're not *good*. But if you take a bunch of chimps and put them in a city like NYC, it would be gone real fast. They'd all just have killed each other. We have an outsized influence because there are a lot of us, but we're actually quite peaceful compared to, say, chimps.

Most of the bad things people do are to other people. And the reason it's bad to do bad things to people is because people are not the worst and do not deserve to have bad things done to them.

You don't have any idea how life would be on Earth, if the oxigen level would be just around with 5% more in our atmosphere, than actually. I doubt, you would like insects being minimum 10 times higher in their sizes, with their predator behaviour. So take it easy with this humans-are-by-far-the-worst-animals bullsh.it. You are lucky enough living on a planet with exact oxigen-level in it's atmosphere to not be a dinner for some spider-like-creature. But, if you dislike Earth, anytime just feel free to try another solar system in our galaxy or further away. Bye, and good luck!

Them and Bot Flies.... Google a Bot Fly if you don't believe me.

and among the most dangerous. If a dog bites you, you get a tetanus shot. If a human bites you its a whole different ballgame. So many bacteria.

Agreed.

As far as we know, we're the worst anything in the universe

"species" - bit unfair to tar all animals badly because of people.

as my father said "son,you know the problem with arseholes? .... everybody's got one"

That feels like an oversimplification.

Not all invasive species belong indoors, but bringing them indoors takes them out of the wild. There are people who catch invasive birds to keep.

They live in Texas?

Yeah, they're crazy!

exactly what I came to say.

Yeah, i definitely have the problem.. i always arrive when all the good partners are already taken and only toxic single people is all that is left

Anxiety and OCD here. Sometimes you just have to do the opposite of what your "intuition" tells you because it's actually the anxiety trying to keep your world small and "safe".

Then you have to fall back on common sense and google (if needs be). Taking risks with a piece of machinery you're not trained on is a very different scenario from making a doctor's appointment or ordering food.

Easy! Don't do anything. Cocoon yourself up in blankets with you ebook, your phone, whatever entertainment system, and nap.

I love David Mitchell's take on this kind of brain issues. "The trouble is that some children are timorous and some children are reckless, and in order to save the lives of reckless children, warnings are calibrated for their safety, the result of which is that the timorous live in a state of perpetual terror. What I needed to be told is, 'you know what? Most days, you won't die. It's fine.' I wasn't ever going to tear across a three-lane motorway. The very existence of a three-lane motorway in the same post code as me made me not want to leave the house."

Somehow, I am the opposite. Brain doesnt warn me of bad situations. Pull into gas station in Anacostia ( real bad part of major city ) at 1 am Friday: it will be fine. My friend came back from paying and said gas attendant was shocked.

Then get counseling!

Yep. I don't trust my mind at all because I'm worried about everything.

TBH everything IS a bad idea

Then pause, try to find the obvious dangers, how to protect yourself from those dangers and then proceed.

There's a difference between "oh, that music makes me uncomfortable" anxiety and the "oh f*** my stomach just dropped to my toes" fear!!

Same. However, I have noticed that the "this is a bad idea" inner voice is stronger than anxiety.

Welcome into my game of, 'is it really bad or totally fine' the game show that you never really win.

With high anxiety, everything IS a bad idea. If the brain can't process reality then it won't function doing a normal task and clumsy mistakes can be life threatening.

Then stop! Stop having anxiety.

But dental pain is soooooo painful. I recently tripped and landed on my face and needed antibiotics for a tooth injury. I only took pain killers I was prescribed and the maximum allowed daily dose, but the seven days it takes for antibiotics to kick in is agony.
