me and a lot of people i know sure do love ruining our own lives by making up rules about what we aren't allowed to do and then following them straight into a ditch
Conversation
OK but can I get helpful examples of this?? bc I have a feeling I do that but I'm not sure how to figure out what exactly those "rules" are for me

you can generate examples by explaining your problems to a normal person and then when they say "well can't you just do X" your gut reaction is "i definitely cannot do that"

uh like: ask a friend for help, call a doctor, explain why the thing you promised to do is late, pay slightly more money than normal for a thing, hire a maid, DM a stranger, move to a new city by yourself, buy a car, take dance lessons
np, i could keep going for awhile 😅
