Stopppp giving UNSOLICITED advice

Truly one of my biggest pet peeves. People are allowed to and MEANT to solve problems and think differently.

Getting bad advice

Don’t follow it! Nothing to make you feel self assured like being advised to do something you know is pointless or wrong

potential hot take about caring

idk if this is unpopular or not but i think we need to more genuinely care about people. so much of how we interact with or rather criticise people nowadays is excused by simple ‘caring’ about someone meanwhile it’s the rudest comment ever. if you really cared about someone in a genuine kind sort of way you wouldn’t say something to insult someone. basically what i’m referring to is the commenters on instagram reels or tiktok on random peoples posts doing like completely unrelated stuff then they’ll just out of nowhere say something like ‘this isn’t healthy’ or any comment related to their weight or how they look. and they’d excuse themselves in a way as if they were looking out for the person and warning them of health risks when they’re really just being horrible and wanting an excuse that makes them seem nice and caring. unprovoked unkind comments on someone’s looks or weight will never be ’caring’, you don’t know this person!!! i think to be caring you need to consider someone’s feelings and i don’t mean acknowledging that someone might get upset about a comment you make, but acknowledging and caring that what you say might upset them so not saying it 1. because it’s unkind 2. unneeded 3. not considerate or empathetic.

treating everything like an experiment

(specifically behavioural experiment — really putting my psych degree into good use huh?) i don't know man but this really helps me get unstuck from an all-or-nothing mindset and the insane analysis paralysis from even doing the most menial of tasks look just set it from a random number of days and put a random thing to focus on and see what happens i don't even have to stick to it — this isn't even a "serious/legitimate" experiment at all — i give myself the grace to fail at this "experiment" completely and i try to take as much emotional weight from it as possible the whole of point me doing this in the first place is ripping off the band-aid: any action is good action at this point, i don't want to ruminate anymore and i want to build momentum (even if it seems embarrassingly insignificant) if it works out: good!! if it doesn't work out: also good!! the whole point of this is trial and error and honestly just bridging the gap between idea and execution and getting rid of friction between tasks as much as possible... we can always change the hypothesis and the experiment... back to the drawing board we go!!!

bamboo scaffolding

absolutely hate how the government is insisting on phasing out bamboo scaffolding and replacing it with steel scaffolding... like why??? bamboo scaffolding is deeply woven into hong kong culture and instantly reminds of home because it's just so unique and so distinctively hongkonger... i fucking hate the lack of efforts of cultural preservation because what else do we have left? in recent years i could already feel a slow, sinking feeling that the local flavour of hong kong is slowly slipping away... i just don't want the city i was born and raised in to be more and more unrecognisable as time goes on.... even from the tiniest details of everyday life there are so many iconic landscapes, features and walks of life that i value so much in the city that i just don't want to be seen thrown in the wayside and i know many hongkongers feel this way too
