“ Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson took their act as the most charming couple on the planet to a whole new level. After apparently spotting Kate Upton, I saw Kruger run up to Jackson and excitedly ask him, “Did you realize who that was? That’s the girl from Sports Illustrated! The one with the enormous tits!” Jackson laughed. “Yes, she does have enormous tits.

“ Back on set with BULLETT, Skarsgård radiates a similar magnetic energy as he takes off his shoes and sits down on the floor to eat with the team. He nuzzles his face into his photo partner, a baby lamb wearing a blue tie-dye shirt to keep warm during setups. “You’re the cutest!” Skarsgård says, cradling it in his strong arms. Looking her square in the eye, he whispers, “But I just had lamb stew last night.

“ I get questions from people all the time: ‘How are we supposed to still like you? It’s turning so dark!’ We would be doing a disservice to our viewers if we backed down from what we promised. And we have no intention of doing that. It’s a nasty ride. And it’s all because the man making this decision was selfish and hasty and he compromised his integrity. That’s the morality tale we’re playing here: You cannot go back. You have crossed a line.

“

From birth we’re taught that we’re owed a beautiful girl. We all think of ourselves as the hero of our own story, and we all (whether we admit it or not) think we’re heroes for just getting through our day.

So it’s very frustrating, and I mean frustrating to the point of violence, when we don’t get what we’re owed. A contract has been broken. These women, by exercising their own choices, are denying it to us. It’s why every Nice Guy is shocked to find that buying gifts for a girl and doing her favors won’t win him sex. It’s why we go to “slut” and “whore” as our default insults — we’re not mad that women enjoy sex. We’re mad that women are distributing to other people the sex that they owed us.

Yes, the women in these stories are being portrayed as wonderful and beautiful and perfect. But remember, there are two ways to dehumanize someone: by dismissing them, and by idolizing them.

“ At times, the two of them bicker like an old married couple. Being a rank lower than Colbert, Person can never directly express anger to him, but on occasions when Colbert is too harsh and Person’s feelings are hurt, his driving becomes erratic. There are sudden turns, and the brakes are hit for no reason. It will happen even in combat situations, with Colbert suddenly in the role of wooing his driver back with retractions and apologies.

“ The most useful step I’ve taken in the battle against my anxiety is to share my experience with friends and family. For a long time, I was ashamed of my affliction and incredibly reluctant to share it. Things I’d read in the media and been told by my peers lead me to believe that mental illness was a weakness and not something readily admitted – particularly not by an adolescent male.

Young Peter Salter wrote a very good piece about social anxiety and panic attacks. The best part, however, is the thread that follows. Loads of advice, links, encouragement, and readers sharing their experiences. Go read it. (via guardiancomment)

It’s irksome to me though that EVEN though anxiety is explained well and from a personal perspective in the article, there have to be a few people in the comments who are like “But is this a disease? Don’t lots of people commonly get nervous before big social events?” I take it they’ve never experience a panic attack then or they wouldn’t be wondering if it’s ‘really that bad’. Jitters is to social anxiety as is one bee to a hive of wasps. Social anxiety disorder/general anxiety disorder can put you in the hospital. Me? I get related tachycardia and I had to endure some testing.

It really is from a lack of awareness though. People just don’t understand because of the stigma around discussing it, as the article points out. I do feel like it’s my job sometimes to explain, but on the other hand it’s tiresome to be forthcoming and still have people fail to grasp what you’re telling them. I wish I could just capslock at everyone YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW. It does get better with time though. I mean once you’re open about your anxiety and people have had time to process, they can be incredibly supportive.
