The best way to handle this, I think, is a healthy dose of patience, and to remember the other person is just that, another person, separate from you. They may not do things exactly the way you do them, and that’s ok.

Who is putting “so much focus” on that one area? Sabrina Carpenter, the photographer, the media for zooming in and making it something it didn’t need to be? Also, is what you see there in the photo an unacceptable amount of stubble to be seen under one’s arms? Would you prefer she didn’t raise her arms at all, or be sure to shave right before any photos might be taken? Sorry if this comes off as hostile, your comment just elicited so many questions for me.

This is me over the past little while. Was starting to feel a lot better, getting back into old hobbies that I have so much fun with. Problem is I treat basically anything I enjoy even a little like a drug. I keep chasing the high. I binge and binge, annoying people with my obsessions along the way… at some point I notice they’re fed up. I beat the shit out of myself for being so childish, and eventually put my hobbies to the side, fall deeper and deeper into depression, then the cycle repeats again. I am so tired of this cycle.

Ideology/politics hedging. Off chance your main fails, got a fallback. Fuck that. Great comic.

Discrub might be an option depending on access. It seems to work fine, but depending on the amount of data it is pretty slow. I’ve had it running since early this morning, about 12 hours now. Not sure I’d trust the extension with highly sensitive data, but it might be worth taking a look.
