He's very intense.

Go get your books, you guys.

They'll be tests.

Just kidding.

So the reframe I picked is from Scott Adams' book, is Internet Insults, which...

Yeah, it's apropos for today and for the last few days for all of us.

But I wanted to read it and I wanted you to read it along with me and learn along with me.

How I see reframes, as most of you do, is a reprogramming of your brain.

So let's go ahead and reprogram your brain right now.

Internet insults.

Every day on social media, trolls and critics attack me over my appearance, age, intelligence, personal life, character, and talent.

I've become an accidental expert on how to reframe deep insults into my own entertainment.

And I recently came upon a reframe that helps a lot.

Usual frame.

An insult is damaging to my mental health.

Reframe.

An insult is a confession that your accuser can't refute your opinion and or has personal problems of some sort.

This reframe won't fit every situation, but people who enjoy good mental health are not spreading much time insulting people on social media or anywhere else.

Likewise, when people have a strong argument, they stick with facts.

You only get triggered to insult someone when your argument has been dismantled and you feel the need to act out.
