so i basically have one tab that is empty and i leave it open everytime i watch a movie or show and everytime i get overstimulated, have a cringe attack or need a calm down from it, i switch to the ‘safe tab’
i think im crazy, but i cant pause the movie and look at the paused scene, i NEED to have a safe tab, like google or just a random website open to look at when i pause something.
DAE do this?
first time posting kinda nervous

I don’t do this, but I think it’s a great idea, and hopefully somebody will be able to incorporate this trick to help them too
Damn what kind of crazy shit are you watching bro?
I have a few of those because I’m a tab hoarder! I totally get it. It’s why it takes me forever to watch something usually, but I can’t help it when the overstimulation stuff causes physical pain
When I watch horror movies, sometimes when it gets too scary I remind myself that it’s not real. I think your tactic is similar and we all have our ways of absorbing overwhelming information!
I use a safe tab when I’m watching porn
I do! I have a seizure disorder that gets kicked off by flashing things. It helps to be able to immediately go to something moving normally.
I don’t.. but then again I don’t watch much tv/movies etc so….
This shows that you are self aware. You have a plan when things get too intense.
👍🏼
No I don’t watch movies on my phone or laptop like a god damn barbarian.
ctrl-t is my safe tab
only if the movie has R rated stuff in it and I’m not home alone
