What's the mood tonight, brain? "Hey remember every single time you did something socially awkward and made someone mad at you? Let's just dwell on that forever." Cool
I'm like "Listen, brain. It was a mistake. Everyone makes them. That doesn't make you a bad person and I'm sure they've forgotten about it by now." and my brain was like "That's an interesting theory but what if instead we just replayed the conversation again?"
the way i deal with this is by talking to myself out loud but saying absolute nonsense in a constant stream so my brain can't actually get a foothold in on my focus
"Hey remember every single time you did something socially awkward and made someone mad at you? Let's just dwell on that forever."
Cool
