Did you know that you can make fake 3D pixel art in Blender by just like turning anti-aliasing off?? And pixelizing post-effects? Sounds super simple but it took me forever to figure it out.
Psychology textbook diagrams never cease to amaze me
ok y'all this isn't a psych textbook gaslighting you into thinking it's normal and ok for your boss to yell at you, it's specifically about understanding that other people's treatment of you is usually more about them than you.
If your boss is pissy with you, it's absolutely more healthy to understand that behavior as a reflection of his mental state rather than of your worth as an employee.
It's not a psych textbook's job to advise you how to improve your workplace or say what is/isn't acceptable treatment by a boss. It's an example of detaching your own self-worth from how other people treat you.
^^THIS!
In fact, if you let yourself think of other people's treatment as a reflection on YOU more than it is on THEM, it can prevent you from getting things done.
Or, in other words,
ok, im rb'ing this again because this actually helped me finally be able to take advantage of cognitive restructuring in a way i've struggled to do for a long time. Ive been able to get to the my boss was having a bad day part, but i've always struggled to use that mental change to do something that would improve the situation. but because of this diagram, i THINK ive got it figured out. Here's a rough explanation of how I interperet this.
Real life example:
Boss yelling: My mom is snapping at me, calling me "disrespectful" no matter how I speak to her, and getting mad at me for having missing assignments
He was having a bad day: She's stressed due to my grandma being in the hospital
He shouldn't take it out on me: just because she's stressed doesn't mean she gets to be mean to me.
Unionize: I advocate for myself, saying that I'm not being disrespectful and that it's okay to have missing assignments because I'm doing my best
Fuck his wife: I am unapologetically proud of myself for what i manage to do in a day, especially if my mom disapproves of it or doesn't view it as productive, as my own little "fuck you" to her.
End result: no depression.
This actually works and its amazing. Thanks to the meme side of tumblr for accidentally developing a highly effective method for coping with people who treat you like shit
