Most conventional approaches don't work, like one word answers, turning away, making small motions toward doors, mindlessly agreeing with them.

The best approach is too not respond in any kind of significant way, including head nods

 

One is to let it play out a bit, because often times there's some useful thought in there that if you completely ignore will actually cause more anxiety.

Once you're ready to stop the rumination simply note it. Some of my go to notes for rumination are "anxiety" "social anxiety" "guilt" "doubt" "fear" "obsession" "not useful". (I use "not useful" the most, as it seems to have a non-judgmental quality to it).

So the strategy is to either sit down or stand and note the rumination as it pops up or continue what you're doing but take note when it pops up. Sometimes I do both. It works very well.

 

pilot study from 2015 was one of the first to look at the effects of meditation on IBS symptoms. The researchers found that after just nine weeks of meditating, IBS sufferers had drastic reductions in their symptoms—and this continued for three weeks after the meditation program ended.

You could try that meditation eating, but imo meditation eating is very hard

Lying down meditation is still like impossible for me

 

A friend sent me:

It's less mental tricks and more fundamental trust. I care about only one opinion of me, and it's not mine - it's God's. That opinion is, in short, "you suck but it's ok, we're working on it". So I aim to do better than yesterday.

It is also worth noting that the only person whose behaviour you can control is yourself, so don't worry about what others choose, instead choose, consciously, to laugh it off, and over time it becomes real.


This is likely contempt - feeling superior
