Telling your brain "i know you don't wanna do this and it'll be uncomfortable at first, but you can do it buddy. it'll be fine" works way better than it should. sounds too simple but that stubborn organ WILL listen if you're kind to it lol
One time when i was in college I saw an older man scrolling pics of much younger women on his phone while seated across from his wife in the restaurant I was working at.
So, while refilling water I exclaimed, “Oh! Is that your daughter? She’s so pretty!”
Fuck himmm!!!!
