one of my real hot takes that goes along with "discomfort is not harm," is that you actually benefit from being a little uncomfortable sometimes. its ok! its normal! its life! if you never feel uncomfortable, discomfort WILL feel like harm, & you'll will never develop any resilience for the future.
