If I can – I do that too. It helps me with the self doubt and intrusive thoughts. I have conversations with Bobby or Dean.
I think I’m going to try that. I’ve been dealing with a lot of self-doubt and confusion and general brain BS recently so that might be a good way of dealing with it for the time being.
It’s kinda cool that both of you do that and it helps.And sometimes the tough love helps. Like – if I have Bobby in my head calling me an idiot in his gruff tone it’s less hurtful than me calling myself stupid – cause I know canonically he uses those sorts of insults as endearment – less you’re useless and more, try again this way.
That definitely makes sense. Every once in a while I need that kind of thing, too. Like, I just need someone (even if it’s myself) to tell me to knock it off and stop being so down on myself. It’s a problem I have a lot, unfortunately.
