When You Say Something Over And Over, It Tricks Your Brain Into Believing It. Your Brain Determines Truth

When you say something over and over, it tricks your brain into believing it. Your brain determines truth not on evidence, but repetitions. Making egotistical jokes can be just one step in getting out of the cycle of hating yourself, because the more you insult yourself, the more likely your brain is to agree.

If you use self-deprecating humor, that's fine. It's not my cup of tea, but it's fine.

If you use self-deprecating humor AND you're depressed or have a poor self image, I strongly suggest switching to hyperbolic self-aggrandizing humor. I truly believe it's 100000% healthier long term AND I think it's much, much funnier.

For example

*trips over a speck of dust*

Option 1: haha, I'm such a klutz, I'll probably break my neck opening a jar of pickles someday

Option 2: I AM THE MOST GRACEFUL PERSON WHO EVER LIVED YOU SAW NOTHING

I know it feels like an understatement but you sometimes make more progress by pointing out that conservatives are fucking rude. going out of your way to call someone the wrong name because you don't like them? rude. childish. this isn't fucking kindergarten, Carl. she said her name is Jennifer. Everybody knows her as Jennifer. You are the one making things confusing. Grow up.

"misgendering is violence": invites discourse over the TraNs DeBatE, puts people on the defensive, opens you up to accusations of liberal snowflakery, comes off as a hypothetical thought exercise

"Who the fuck is Jason? I don't know a Jason. Oh her? You mean Jen? You mean fucking Jen? That's Jen, dipshit." : crystal clear. you're making shit more difficult for everyone because you're a rude manchild.
