They’re such a mood

Gorgeous!

Fucking adorable and tense at the same time.

Lol yeah. It seems like an overcorrection to anti audio book folks, who are annoying tbf

It’s true. But they are still definitionally different skill sets and activities. If I never learn to read or write, I could still listen to audio books. But I would be literally illiterate.

We have a joke in my family where anytime we have serious, crippling doubts about ourselves, we laugh and say “Ope, that’s dad talking again” lol.

This isn’t a perfect vid, but it could be interesting.

It’s really nefarious, twists your inner logic to fit its narratives about why things are going the way they’re going. Worst part is that it makes a good argument.

I dunno, could be an interesting thing to read up on. It made me feel a little more empowered.

This sounds just like my inner demon who won’t let me be happy. You should check out ‘internal family systems’.

The inner critic (enforcer, they call it) is actually good for self growth. But for giga depressed people it turns into an intolerant fascist constantly searching for flaws.

You ARE him!

Welcome! It’s weirdly nice here for now. It’s like that first day you get out of a horrible toxic relationship.
