Cats do it, too. But they use claws and drag your hand back to their sweet little head. 🤣

When I used to work there was a little old lady that she and I ate together for lunch everybday. Part of her lunch was she would bring peaches in prepackaged. She had troubled getting them opened. One day I reached over and just broke the seal for her to peel the rest back herself. I did that until the pandemic hit when she took time off for that. I was doing it to be nice and to help her out. I wasn't looking for anything in return. I believe it was about a week and a half later she brought me in Oreo cookies everyday. At first it was three and eventually went up to four.
It's not a coincidence that we asked how you're doing this February at the start of this article, dear Pandas. According to YouGov US, a global public opinion and data company, Americans find this month to be the second least favorite of the whole year.
To find out why many specifically dislike these 28 days of the year and how we can cope with this, Bored Panda reached out to licensed mental health counselor Patricia Glynn MA, CRC.

This is an almost daily thing for me. I live with chronic pain, so I sleep very little at night. During the afternoon I tend to get tired enough to sleep, but I have kids so I won't ever silence my phone. This means I'm constantly being interrupted. If only I could feel comfortable letting the world go for an hour, but I can't.
"When it comes to mental health, February can be a difficult month because the weather tends to be cold and the days shorter," Glynn says.
"With fewer daylight hours and chilly temps, people are more likely to feel sad and may experience higher levels of fatigue. Being stuck indoors means an increased probability of loneliness. Also, too, many are coming off a high from the holiday season. The mundane reality of life settles back upon them. Stress and boredom can overwhelm people," she explains.

I never thought to put olives on a burrito. I am interested in the other ingredients in this burrito that would potentially make olives work...

I would absolutely go to museums after 8pm. And would do it regularly if I could have a nice glass of wine or cocktail. Added points if I could also get some popcorn.
However, she reassures people that there are things they can do to improve their mood and energy. "We want to be mindful about waking up early and, if we can’t get outdoors to get some sunlight, we can expose ourselves to bright, indoor lighting. If we can’t access the sun as much, we can use devices that mimic it," Glynn suggested.
Another thing that is very beneficial to our overall well-being is staying active, Glynn adds. "We want to be sure we are staying as active as possible. Exercise has been shown to be more effective than antidepressant medications. We don’t need to do anything complicated. A simple walk can be a great way to elevate mood and calm the nervous system."

Something else that might dampen our moods in February is New Year's resolution burnout. Many of us are guilty of making goals at the start of January and abandoning them or feeling less energetic about them when February rolls in. It can be hard to stay motivated and productive during these winter months, but there are some things that can help us stick to our goals.

Actually, domestic cats are believed to be descended from a small desert felid called, "sand cat". They are communicating with their ancestors.
"When it comes to remaining faithful to your New Year's resolutions, it is important to ensure your goals are specific and reasonable," advises Glynn. "You don’t want to decide to just get in shape. That is far too ambiguous. You instead want to decide that you will go for a walk three times per week for twenty minutes."
"Then, get your calendar and make a clear plan," she further explains. "Decide when and where. And don’t get overly ambitious. We tend to want to do all the things all at once. But this is apt to set us up for failure. Instead, we want to pick just one thing to focus on. We can add something else later, after we have made the first goal a habit."
The key to avoiding burning out is to keep things small and doable, Glynn says. "Try reminding yourself of why you are making the change. Maybe find small ways to boost your motivation. In the case of walking, perhaps you might buy some new sneakers or find an audiobook that you are really looking forward to listening to."
Lastly, she adds, "By adjusting our mindset, we can avoid the tendency to give up. We want to expect barriers and setbacks. But rather than allowing these inevitable factors to make us throw in the towel, we want to accept them and find the lesson in them. So, if you missed your walk yesterday because you were too tired after work, perhaps you want to try and walk earlier in the day. See failure as a learning opportunity."

Adults having time for breakfast. Adults having friends. Adults even visiting and spending time with friends. It was all a lie. I rewatch the Friends show over and over when i'm depressed, because it's a lovely little fantasy of support and love between people that I know doesn't exist and I'll never experience. For a few episodes, I can fool myself into believing its possible before I wipe my tears, put my big girl pants back on and acknowledge the slow, agonizing, soul-crushing loneliness my life is, and will continue to be, until I drop dead or blow my brains out.

Surprised me that 'horrible' is the one that got the most votes. That was my choice as well.
