minus-squarehabitualcynic@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up15·edit-25 个月前 Comparison is the thief of happiness. I have many favorites, but this comes to mind often. Fear shrinks the brain. Is another good one.

minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 个月前Funny. “Fear keeps you alive” is one I use fairly often.
minus-squarehabitualcynic@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 个月前lol also true! I think of mine more in the context of when I see things from the media. If they seem to be instilling fear (omg immigrants are coming, they’re scary), it’s because they don’t want you to think critically.
minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-25 个月前Yeah, the challenge is really to figure out if a fear is useful, or an unhelpful remnant from earlier on in your own life, or in evolution.

Wholeheartedly agree
No wonder psychiatrists are called shrinks.
