I heard they also have few trashcans in Japan so you just walk around carrying wrappers

because they are naturally higher inhib. just like everyone else in this thread utter pussy niggas
idgaf if someone eating . i guess i can see the sentiment that someone stuffing themselves on the train for example may look vulgar and offputting but tbh i have other things to care about like my contant misery and anguish

i dont have a problem admitting i m a bitch in a million other aspects, but extending it to this and implying i'd behave the same way if only i wasn't too inhibited would just be dishonest

i can get annoyed easily too. but it doesnt "ick" me in a special way qhen i see people eat, or public affection. i think thats more of an autist trait than anything else. what bothers me is their seemingly lower inhib than myself. how dare they..... fucking nt pigs gleefully stuffing themselves in my presence.. they should be destroyed

btw, the visceral reaction i m describing itt completely disappeared when i was on some meds (ssris or snris, can't remember now). i'd be in the same environment and feel absolutely 0 negative emotions whatsoever. what to make of this?

certain brain region like the insula may be overreacting to input from the eyes, ears etc. insula is responsible for both feelings of disgust and also interoception (awareness of internal bodily state), and as such those can be percieved as overlapping in our minds. Aka u see someone chewing = u feel disgust.

when u increase serotonin signaling and norepinephrine using drugs , those somehow fuck with amygdala -> insula loop. not sure how exactly but it seems to dial down hyper reactivity to emotional/sensory stimuli tbh. so when ur serotonin is higher, ur brain is less likely to flag those stimuli as threatening/disgusting

yeah, sounds logical. those meds didnt really improve my state of mind overall, but in specific contexts like this one it was physically blatantly obvious to me that they still do make some difference

saying this because i simply can't fight the negative reaction to the behavior i described in the op, just like some people can't help but feel disgust whenever niggers, jews, fags or someone else is even mentioned
