sometimes i walk past people who are extremely attractive and it’s weird, like i’ll make eye contact with them and realize, “oh i’m not even getting picked up on their sexual radar right now. i don’t even register. i’m not even a little green blip. when they look at me they just see like a mannequin with a backpack.” like the default is usually to assume they think you look terrible, but in reality it’s just like you’re part of nature. like a tree.
