Recent research has looked at our neurological wiring that makes us feel pain (both physical and emotional).  The anterior cingulate cortex is a part of the brain that produces the painful feelings of social rejection, as well as the emotional component of physical pain.  Researchers have conducted experiments which have shown that people who take a mild painkiller, like Tylenol, have a weaker reaction to feelings of rejection than people who were given placebos.  One study also showed that acetaminophen reduced indecisiveness when confronted with a moral dilemma.

I take 14 Tylenols every time I post on here.  Then I don’t feel as bad about all of my posts that are tagged “stupid.” 

I am going to tag this one “stupid.” 

Then call poison control.
