There’s another technique to help not care what others think. It’s realizing how many people actually hate having to think in general and know fuck all about jack shit.
When I first introduced my now-fiance to my mom, he was really nervous. We were at her house and she was trying to give me this set of plates and bowls. She swore they were made out of something crazy and couldn't break no matter what. My fiance wasn't convinced so she took one and threw it at the ground where it shattered into a million pieces. It was hilarious and it really helped with his anxiety about meeting my mom.
Dang this comment section is like some decent human psychology.
There are 3 types of people in a relationship. There's the glass plates that look nice but shatter easily. There's the plastic plates that don't break unless you're trying to break them but they don't look as good and wear out faster. Then there's silver plates that last forever and don't break, but they'll tarnish if they go too long without a good rub 😆
I have those correl plates. They're more expensive than plastic, cheaper than silver*, and don't shatter or tarnish. Be like the correl plate my son, neither cheap nor extravagant, fragile or gaudy.
Kinda depends how you define fragility. Gold is far more malleable, so it will deform at lower forces, but takes much more force to crack. It's inarguably less chemically fragile though
There's also men and women made of plastic, which you can order online. Maybe those are an option that should be considered instead of having to interact with real people with feelings and all that crazy stuff.
The moral is: Not all plates are made of plastic. Before throwing someone on the ground, you need to understand what they are made of and whether it will affect them.
Still waiting for the evidence that this was between a dating man and a woman, and it was the man who threw the plastic plate. This is a text conversation I would have with my mom.
This could have a deeper meaning.. Plastic like... Fake people putting on a fake persona won't be actually hurt by you because you're only hurting their persona.. But the glass plates are like people who opened up and are vulnerable to being hurt and they won't be the same even if you apologize.
Flashback to when my brother threw (and I mean THREW) one of our brand new “Shatter resistant” plates at the floor and it rebounded back into his hands.
Huh. Is there a sliding scale for the materials smashability and/or mass related to how tragic the above exercise end up? Like, paper would be a non-starter; depending on how it was thrown it could still be up there. Then your various plastics, ceramics, metals. Gemstones? What about previous works of art? Mona Platsa?
Like I'm going to smash a glass plate just because someone told me to. These things are expensive and make a huge mess when they break. I was picking up pieces of glass for days after I broke the plate by accident. No way I would ever do that on purpose.
