So many YouTube channels involve emotionally reactive, highly emotionally stimulating videos, and it's rubbed off. I feel I don't get enough repeated exposure to people doing the opposite, and it makes it harder for me to stay patient, calm, and nonreactively listen when people are having intense emotional responses, are being dislikable, or are being rude or disrespectful.

Hair scissors, general use scissors, nail scissors, or nose hair scissors. If so, what should they use to do so, and how do they do so? Similar question, I know, but I wanted to ask this about hair clippers, knives, straight razors, and scissors.

If so, what should they use to do so, and how do they do so?

It sounds to me like a claim that could've been made up, outdated, or been poorly researched or based on poor quality research.

And "5th grade level" seems like it's probably not the best way to measure competence or ability in this case. It feels like measuring reading speed by timing how long it takes to read a passage and then using that to determine how long it'll take them to read a book, ignoring a ton of variables that can influence reading speed.

I assume the claim means english by the way.

Wikipedia can be overly conservative when it comes to health and medicine sometimes.

I'm asking about stuff that can be done at home to be specific:

-Cold, hot, steamy, or high pressure showers (or combinations of those four)

-ice pack therapy

-cold, hot, or contrast compression

-ice water or ice on their own or contrasted with hot water

-frozen wet rag with or without a cooling agent in it

-topicals with cooling/heating agents

-hot wet rag with or without a heating agent

-a steam bowl with or without a blanket

If the source or sources you recommend cover steam therapies, cryotherapies, thermotherapies, and hydrotherapies more broadly, that would be great, though. I'm having a hard time finding a good source that covers these and their benefits.

Or with themes of collectivism or collectivity or the common good

Cotton balls between the toes, wet sand in shoes, a lot of ASMR, food visuals in anime at times, fabric being scratched or torn, biting soft food and finding something crunchy in it (but not something crunchy in chrunchy food or someyhing soft in soft or crunchy food), the corners and sides of bath tubs, stepping on certain things in a lake, stepping on certain wet surfaces (e.g. in pools or bathtubs), etc.

The idea of sensitivity to such specific stimuli being genetic seems strange, but it seems to not be a conditioned emotional response that people experience.

Different stimuli seems to elicit such emotional responses (fear, anger, pain, disgust, etc.) in different people, and it doesn't seem clinical like PTSD or an anxiety disorder but just something that is that can make some things distressing for some people.

Is there a name for this?

And do either of them appropriate or secularize pranayama, meditation, or mindfulness? Or use creative visualization or guided imagery?

I would think sunscreen and sunglasses are similar when it comes to the amount of sun protection needed. To my understanding, UV400 blocks 99% of UVA and UVB. I would think that's overkill, considering SPF numbers beyond I think 30 (might be a different number) make little difference. Is it?

And should sunglasses block HEV light (UVA, UVB, and blue light I assume)? I would think blue light blocking isn't needed, considering our skin doesn't seem to need it as far as I'm aware (and considering there doesn't seem to be skin protection beyond UVA and UVB, aside from clothing). I would think blue light doesn't hurt our skin, hair, or eye health.

I ask these questions, because I came from the Wikipedia page on sunglasses.

There seems to be one group that prioritizes group affiliation over truth and seem focused more on "winning" a culture war on some petty topic while there are so many massive problems in society instead of focusing on what's correct and helping people.

Another group seems to slap "fake guru", "scam", etc. on everything and everyone they disagree with, that has the slightest problem, or that's overpriced.

Another group seems to focus on positive feelings over truth in a toxic positivity kind of way.

Another group seems to criticize anything with immaterial associations purely because they seem to have some fear, anxiety, or aversion when it comes to anything with immaterial associations.

Another group seems to be aggressively against wellness that isn't pro-establishment.

And another group exploits people in often underhanded ways or tries to signal status in a narcissistic way.

And wellness receives a disproportionate amount of negativity relative to conventional medicine.

It feels really childish to me and just hurts everyone. People should be trying to help each other and should be trying to do what they can to take care of their health, without ignoring things like poverty, people forced to work 80 hours a week, disabilities, the control the food system has over our food options, or problems people have in their lives, and without being obsessive or perfectionistic or being unwilling to go eat at a restaurant with friends every now and then. And health and wellness shouldn't be the main focus but something done in the background.

It bothers me when wellness is treated negatively without nuance. At the same time, there is genuine toxicity in the industry, especially beginning around covid, and it's gotten worse since. Narcissism, perfectionism, vanity, negative effects on mental health, exploitation, appropriation, a lack of credit given to conventional medicine, obsession, conspicuous consumption, etc.

I ask, because quantification is often overemphasized, not to mention that, in practice, it's weird to use some sort of timer to time when to use sunscreen.

And how does one qualitatively determine if one has gotten has gotten enough sun when wearing sunscreen or qualitatively determine when to get out of the sun when wearing sunscreen? I've read that people who wear sunscreen tend to stay in the sun longer than they should.

"Life experience", "work experience", "experience", "experience" as a parent, etc.

Americans talk about "experience" like everything has to be learned through "experience" or like "experience" is the only way to learn anything. They talk about "experience" like it's needed for authority and like a young person's lack of competence is due to a lack of "experience" rather than a lack of quality education.

I find it difficult to not be emotionally affected by that kind of thing, especially when having to help, persuade, or work with the other person, especially if I find the person very dislikable.

I become stimulated to where I can't regulate my emotions in time or my emotional regulation is overwhelmed and end up raising my voice, criticizing (often, it comes out with a "punch"), or emotionally reacting. Or my feelings get hurt or my self-concept or self-image gets negatively affected and I start questioning myself on things I know aren't true but that emotionally make me doubt myself and go "Are they right, though?" It hurts my self-confidence. Or I get into a negative emotional state after being emotionally worn down from annoyance, frustration, dislike, etc.
