Next time my boss suggests I take on more responsibility, I'm pulling the @Isabel Hagen: "Look, buddy, I got a lot of things I wanna do before I settle down." #standupdesk

I was seeing a guy for a while who wanted to settle down. I was like, look buddy, I got a lot of things I want to do before I settle down, you know? Like find the right person. I deal with a lot of negative self-talk and, you know, common advice for this is like, we'll try talking to yourself the way you would a good friend, you know? You wouldn't say all those mean things to her. I'm like, yeah, not to her face. If I could trash talk myself behind my own back, I would, but the walls are too thin. I hear everything. My big fear is that everyone hates me. I think everyone hates me. My therapist was like, is about nobody hates you. Nobody's even thinking about you. I was like, well, that's way worse. That's like asking your friend, like, hey, am I ugly? And she's like, nobody's looking at you. Well, I feel like that thing I said was kind of weird. She's like, look, nobody's listening to you. Nobody hears you. Nobody sees you. Nobody even knows you exist.
