A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I used to wonder if the extreme panic/anxiety spirals that weed gave me were because I knew subconsciously I was a loser with nothing going for me. Now my life is very secure. I have a job I enjoy and am compensated well enough, I have a wife, a daughter, and I live in a more favorable country than before. So I tried smoking weed again to see, and wouldn't you know it? I immediately launched into a panic spiral over what a fucking loser I am.
