What have you noticed about how you talk to yourself?

Just noticed. No fixing today. — asked by Jonah

BramwellRipon, UK

What I would say to a friend: this is hard and you are doing it anyway. What I say to myself is considerably worse.

I have decided to be unavailable on Thursday evenings and nobody has died.

Fitz Sounds like a good GP. Hold onto them.

EspeSeville, ES

I said the true answer when somebody asked how I was, and they handled it fine.

Told somebody they had helped me. They had no idea.

I would tell a friend to go to bed. So I am going to bed.

I did not weigh in on an argument on the internet. Twice.

Said no to a family thing on Sunday and it went completely fine, which was not the disaster I had scheduled.

Cancelled two things so Thursday is empty.

Lark A three-week buffer is such a sensible thing to arrange. Noting it.

OzzyAdelaide, AU

I was not kind to myself this week and I am noticing that rather than adding it to the list of failures.

Bryher Yes to the burping. It does settle.

GethinMerthyr Tydfil, UK

I would tell a friend to go to bed. So I am going to bed.
