    Y’know, usually I get annoyed at adults when they try to randomly help me when I don’t want or need help. Now, because of this, I am just going to act like they have as pure of an intent as a toddler and treat them accordingly.

      It’s a good outlook to have. When you assume people have good intentions it makes a world of difference.

      That would also help your own stress levels, being annoyed at strangers is a pathway to long term stress and relieving that is very healthy

        My personal headcanon is that every person weaving in and out of traffic on the highway is desperate to get to the hospital before their child is born. It helps me keep calm.
