Alleviating Social Pain: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Forgiveness and Acetaminophen
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, we found that daily acetaminophen administration significantly reduced experiences of social pain over 21 days, but only for individuals exhibiting high levels of forgiveness. Keywords: Social ...

N.B. This is a serious topic. Please stop spreading propaganda about acetaminophen being addictive or causing autism. Please read the study. The point of the study is not about acetaminophen. It is about social pain can hurt as much as physiological pain. Only people with trait of high level of forgiveness responded to acetaminophen. Acetaminophen will not work for you if you not a kind. forgiving person. No need to worry about acetaminophen if you have a weak trait. Kindness can be learned by not trolling

Social pain (psychache), such as ostracisation/rejection/bullying, can hurt as much as physical pain. Forgiveness and acetaminophen have interactive effects on experiences of social pain. Telling victims to just “let it go” is just like withholding pain medicines from patients recovering from surgery.

We need to tell the victims that psychological wounds are like physical wounds. They will heal but the healing processes can be long and painful. Psychological pain may come back in waves, and the scars may remain just like physical scars. If the psychological pain is unbearable, don’t hesitant to seek mental health. “It’s okay not to be okay.” Don’t be persuaded to think “it is all in the head.” Psychological wounds are as real as physical wounds. Good luck.

    What the flipping fuck. Fuck this shit. What drugs just turn off my brain so I can just be a blob of flesh until I die of old age since they don’t like how often I complain about existence being so goddamn difficult.

    Marijuana.

      Different people react differently to molecules. In some people (I think higher prevalency in people with Autism/AD(H)D) the THC is more likely to cause psychosis.

      These things are not “one size fits all”, at all.
