Fork is functioning, plate is sociability , knife is mental strength, spoon is energy, and cup is mood In accordance to another analogy Other people can fill your cup



for example

@brightCity5374

It's interesting to see how you've used table setting items to represent different aspects of human behaviour and emotions!

Regarding the example you provided, it sounds like the person had a well-rounded and healthy state of being. They had plenty of spoons for energy, forks for functioning, knives for mental strength, and plates for sociability! Plus, their cup was full, which could represent a positive mood or outlook on life.

Your table set theory is a unique and creative way to think about human behaviour and the factors that influence it. Thanks for sharing!

@brightCity5374 love the idea! Spoon theory just doesn't include the other aspects like social or cognitive or stress and mood :)

@brightCity5374 That sounds complicated....I have enough to keep track of as it is.

My version of spoon theory is "gas tank theory". Spoon theory works for a lot of people, which is good, but to me it sounds like something more appropriate for someone more female & a good deal younger than myself. Right now I have almost no gas in the tank because I have a sinus infection. At least that's what I think it is.

@slowdecline48. I like the gas tank explanation.

@slowdecline48 hey with the sinus infection thing, that's interesting bc I have something like that along with chronic fatigue as well. Any chance you have mould exposure / water leaks in or under your house or anything??

@slowdecline48 I like the gas tank theory too. In this case i can just say that i spent set amount of gas and i needn't to count spoons.
