Point being that believing in themselves is as naive as believing in Santa?
Thx again Dad!
Does that mean that, just like Santa, my dad doesn't actually believe in me and is just lying to my face?
:(
Why ten seconds? Am I about to ride a rodeo bull?
Nah, it's about how long he lasts during sex
It's hard to overstate the impact self-talk has on mental health. I work in the field and can tell you people who accept that they influence their own mood have much better outcomes than people who don't. People on average really struggle to accept that they have any control over their own well-being, and many build their self-concepts around external factors making them a certain way, so there's nothing to do but continue being that way. This is a super common mindset when it comes to depression in particular
Simultaneously it's important to remember it's not the be-all end-all either. It can easily lead to burnout or other problems.
"Lex, I have a secret to tell you that I've been keeping from you your whole life"
"What, I'm adopted?"
"No, you don't exist"
I hope that one day I’ll have a super powerful completer capable of running a full VR simulation of the entire world and a million years history. One day, I would visit that simulation, meet some of the NPCs in it, and tell them that they don’t really exist just to see what would happen.
I'm not incredibly rich and can give everyone including myself infinite toys. So there's a bit of a disparity here.
Or I can not have that rug pulled out from under me again
