I understand about the movie. This was 15+ years ago but your experience brought back the memory:
My hubi and I watched Silence of the Lambs. Then that night there was a mild/moderate earthquake, not unusual here. At the time we lived in a neighborhood where I wouldn't walk alone at night and it was getting worse and the house we lived in was haunted my my husband's granddad. The next evening my husband had plans to be away from the house. I'm so glad I could talk to my mother in law and not totally freak out. Now I can laugh at myself. Back then I was terrified.
i've given myself permission to not watch or read horror and suspense, no matter how good someone says it is.
It is so easy for us to feel bad about ourselves. I don't like what I see in the mirror sometimes. I don't like my employment history or defects of character. I'm learning how to turn things around too. I'm not just a fidget, I get lots of crocheting and needle work done. If I watch my boundaries, i'm not nosy, just curious.
You're not awful. You're human. It's okay. You're not selfish. You are good enough. Find good names to call yourself.
Bear Hugs!
