I do this every day
When the conversation does happen, the participants don’t follow the preplanned answers
wait, yours ever happen?
I have these conversations with my dog instead of the real person. He understands and is ALWAYS on my side
Aww I like that 🥰
The prep work is one thing. The follow through is another. The motive though? That’s the key.
Prepares to deliver bad news
The person accepts it without question
Yeah, but the day that it finally happens I will have forgotten it all.
The trick is to spend uncomfortably long trying to remember what you decided you should say
I’ve decided to take control over my thoughts. I’m more cognizant of them now and stop before I start ruminating.
This is my jam. A friend of mine described this as having an audience of people in your head that you’ve collected for various reasons, some positive, some toxic and poisonous. Like your best friend, or your mother, or your asshole boss that you have to deal with every day. Living in your head arguing with you and making you justify yourself, or perhaps encouraging you if it’s not a toxic audience member. The audience also changes over the years and as you change, people come and go.
K. thx
Alright, you busted me. Aren’t you clever!
They do happen !
They’ll post a meme about how I win arguments with people in my head, and I’ll say no because I lose them all. That’ll show them.
