Paychecks are gonna be late, bagel makers. But try not to get angry. Be an observer of the emotions, feel and release them.

This reminds me of a bagel shop in Malden Mass that existed 20-25 years ago (no idea what happened to it after that, but that was the last time I went).

It was started by a dude that immigrated from Australia. He was aboriginal Australian and a trained brain surgeon but he had some kind of vision of healing America through love and bagels.

His bagels were in the shape of a heart.

It’s from cognitive behavioral therapy. It’s a way of controlling your emotions rather than allowing them to dictate your entire life.

It’s origins may go back a bit further than CBT. It’s a great practice. I’m listening to a book now written by a Buddhist nun and the same concept is being talked about. Observe but don’t react because much of your reaction is probably coming from previous pain and negative beliefs about yourself. Mr Bagel is indeed deep.

It's interesting how a lot of people get VERY antsy when you make a blanket statement like "human beings experience emotions."

Come to Florida. The marquees and signs openly call for Joe Biden’s assassination in many instances

When Paul Pelosi was almost killed, the marquee -owners here in FL had a field day. Every couple miles there would be a sign that would say something like “HEY NANCY ITS HAMMER TIME”

These businesses weren’t even political, they’re like hardware stores and restaurants and stuff…just openly saying “we should kill Democrats”

Florida sucks, y’all should feel lucky you have signs like this instead of what we get down here

I'm not sure about CBT but DBT (which is related, I think) is definitely based on ideas from Buddhism, so that makes sense. I think psychologists have been trying in several ways to bring the wisdom of the Buddhist approach to emotional regulation into a Western context for awhile now. (Btw if the Buddhist nun is Pema Chodron, her works are some of my favorites!)

It's not "from there", but yes, CBT also teaches mindfulness and to not identify with your emotional states but this wisdom far preceeds CBT as it's a staple in most Eastern religions and philosophy such as Buddhism, Taoism, etc.

I'm not sure you understand what "jumped the shark" means... Mr. Bagel is still wildly popular - you ever try to get breakfast there on the weekend? - It's packed, all of the time. This is just a creative use of an otherwise boring sign.

Anything by Pema Chodron. Many of her “books” are recordings of retreats she does. I love listening to her although she doesn’t narrate all of them. The one I’m listening to now is “How We Live is How We Die”. It’s more about life than death, really. Don’t let the title discourage.

Lived in south Florida, had a neighbor that had a true patriot flag next to a fuck Joe Biden flag, he was a not subscribed to critical thinking skills. Thankfully I was able to finally get the hell outta there, back home in the northeast where sanity is more common. A little shocked at how many Trumpers are up here, very different from 20 plus years ago when I left. The south is really a bizarre place.

Susan David's work on Emotional Agility has been critical in learning how to grieve and process my emotions, instead of bottling (avoidance) or brooding (rumination). I endured a lot of emotional neglect and it really fucked me up, I had to learn how to grieve as an adult.

"in maine everybody thinks that when you start number with 781 you mean 207-781 your name just reminded me"

Then

"wow didn't realize my personal experience with something not only applied to all of maine but is also something that was addressing you in particular. reeeeal apt flair"

Then

"oh okay so let me fix the particulars (by removing hyperbole and making my very innocuous statement more specific) for some chronically online pedant who wants to take offense to... what??? take your blood pressure meds bubba"

None of that is cohesive. I'm not illiterate, but I think you might be.

How does this shit flow in your head? I'm genuinely curious.

You make some grand statement about how "everyone in maine" when they see 781 thinks 207-781 and then go on about how your personal experience doesn't apply to everyone yet you applied it to everyone with the 3 words of "Everyone in Maine" then you walk back trying to do what exactly? Talk about me taking offense? No dude I'm just pointing out how stupid you are

Then there's the multiple off the cuff remarks about me such as "reeeeal apt flair" and "take your blood pressure meds Bubba" like the fuck is that supposed to mean?

So again I ask, are you mentally unstable, do we need to get you some help?

it's clear you're just upset because i said something subjectively "bad" about maine. want me to reassure you, you fucking toddler?

i live in maine. from my own personal experience, when i give someone my parents' phone numbers with that area code, they assume i do not mean it is an area code. you're just pissy and whiny because you feel dumb. that make you happy? no hyperbole, no exaggeration there, perfectly clear for your tiny mind. damaged bumfuck

I'm not upset here, you are. Clearly you don't understand the situation here. You're screaming at me calling me names all for calling you out. Obviously you're upset over something so fucking trivial. You could've just said you made a mistake or whatever but you doubled down or even quadrupled down at this point just to be a dick and call me dumb and a toddler. You misread the situation and then realized you got yourself too deep into it so you threw a tantrum screaming and kicking at me just because you can. Now that's being a toddler if I've ever seen it, but I won't call you one because unlike you I'm not a complete fucking dick.

Also never once did I say anything about you saying something subjectively bad about Maine. All I said was that you were wrong.

"I live in Maine" yeah I'd fucking hope so with this being the damn MAINE SUBREDDIT.

Edit: Dude blocked me after this comment however I read his reply and he did the ol "someone has reached out to you because they're concerned" bit here on reddit

how convenient that i decided to harass you for no reason and you're just such a little good boy. i'm being a dick because you decided to get upset at my initial comment. this seems like some serious projection. see a therapist and stop calling random people online mentally ill. i'm gonna block you for my own sake

I just read this comment thread, and I've gotta say dude you're a dick who's obviously projecting hard. The other guy was never once rude to you and just called you out for your initial comment. You kept harassing him over and over in your comments. Clearly his intital comment or you being downvoted twisted your panties because otherwise you would've been an adult and admitted you were wrong and walked away. Instead you thought "hey maybe I should shit on this person, call them stupid, a toddler, and generally be a dick"

I'd say the other guys suggestion of you needing mental help is accurate. You clearly aren't in a good mental state if your first thoughts are to just be a dick to someone over something this small. I don't think the other guy ever got upset, all he did was say "Uh no? the fuck you talking about?" That to me isn't being upset, that's just asking a question.

‘In Maine everybody thinks,’ is an exaggeration not meant to be interpreted literally. It’s the definition of hyperbole.

I would like to echo u/Grape-Snapple by saying that in my personal experience many Mainers assume that people have a 207 area code. Or they assume that you know the area code for the state is 207. Considering how much of the state relies on tourism and is made up by snowbirds and transplants one would think I wouldn’t have to hear frantic smashing of the delete key once I get to the 8th number of my phone number as often as I do.

Also, while it might not be your intent, your tone was initially aggressive and you appeared to become more aggressive at a faster rate than u/Grape-Snapple.

There are women who are afraid of being misjudged as a “weak woman” and there are men afraid of seeming ‘unmanly’ because it is so horrifying to be seen as unmanly. 😂 It boils down to misogyny.
