like, if i’m feeling bad but force myself to do something, i usually feel better. how to maintain the usefulness of this advice without presenting it as ‘fuck your feelings’, in that usual arrogant right wing sort of way

    I usually tell myself to “suck it up”. Especially if it’s something I know I will benefit from.

        It does beg the question of where did that phrase come from and what exactly are we sucking up. Maybe it is a penis, I don’t judge. But also, what if it’s a delicious cake?

          If you have to suck your cake up then it doesn’t sound delicious to me, it sounds raw

        Really weird way to phrase that if talking about a penis…unless you’re talking about a flaccid one which is even more weirdly specific.

        If that is what one frequently sucks, one probably would think that.
