I know we’ve talked this into the ground lmao but TSITP season 3 one episode a week rollout was top tier. I felt like a little kid again with how excited I got for each episode!! So I’m forcing myself to do the same for Off Campus and so far I’ve only watched one episode out of the eight.

It’s not the exact same because social media is absolutely littered with spoilers and opinions and reviews. One of my favorite things to do after a TSITP episode was to go on social media and see what everyone thought of the episode but obviously can’t do that here lol.

It’s still really fun though!! The feeling of anticipation and replaying the episode in your mind over and over is getting me so excited for this weekend’s episode. I think sitting with an episode for a week makes you love it more for some reason. It does take a lot of self control though lol.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone out there is also doing this! Maybe we can make a thread on here if lots of people are interested so we can discuss one episode each week and not get spoiled by the entire season?? It’s been fun so far!

I apologize if this isn’t the right place to ask this, but I have found myself in this situation many times now, and I’m getting frustrated.

There have been many moments in my social interactions whether with close friends, strangers, or acquaintances where they say something that is offensive to me personally and I don’t clock it until much later when I’m alone. Usually it’s comments that are racist or sexist or just plain make me feel unsafe. And I always get so frustrated with myself because I regret not speaking up/defending myself against them.

I’m way too wired to be polite so I always assume the best of everyone I talk to. And it doesn’t seem right to swing in the other direction and just assume the worst. So I’m thinking the middle ground would be to take everything people say at face value and not fill in the blanks for them, but I don’t know how to do that during a live social interaction. I’m always too busy trying not to be rude to even check in with myself long enough to understand I was just offended.

It sounds silly, but I would really love to defend and protect myself in the moment one of these days 😅
