uh... that was not the intended side effect
questioning, disciplined, challenging, okay, but not meaner!
If it helps, I currently basically never engage in negative self talk. It's not a thing I do. I'm very nice to myself. So "This is how you behave with ultimate power" as a frame made me go "Hmm. Actually, zero might not be the correct number here..."

Mostly I think it's just the end result of countless hours spent helping friends debug their own emotional problems and talking to myself like I talk to them / would like them to talk to themselves.

Heh, the problem of advice: it's only useful to a percentage of population that has the same problem as you do :D "this is how you behave with ultimate power" is only a half of the equation, with the other half: being completely in someone's power (as yet undeveloped take)

Nah it was a useful frame for me, just in a different way than you intended! Don't worry, I'm not about to start beating myself up, but this was an interesting thing to poke at.
