Am I?
Am I?
That's wonderful. That's a good way to maybe start. Especially because you put the word narcissism in it. But no, that's true because the first thing that if someone said that to me, I, not narcissistic like you, you're actually being empathetic. What you're saying is, have I been, do you have me adding to this hypothetical made up problem? If so, I want to take myself off that list.

You are not on this list at all.

That would be, yes. Well, they are because I can't use air conditioning in my dumb apartment while we record. But here is an example, and I'm not going to use really any proper nouns for the most part, but just in the past, let's say two weeks, I made a quick note of things. I convinced myself that I did a terrible job and a performance that I was actually really proud of.

I was really proud of it. I did well. Later, I convinced myself I did a bad job. And then I went on to assume that the director of that show was disappointed in me, as was her husband, because her husband didn't particularly say, I loved you in this performance. So, of course, they are both talking about how I did a bad job and let the show down.

And after another friend described she's going through some imposter syndrome for a class that she's going to be teaching, I wrote her some things that I've learned after my struggles with imposter syndrome and gave her just like a tip or two about how to try to get out of your own head, focusing on what you know. And she said she'd print it out and look at it every day. She was very thankful.

And I felt great. And then I tore it apart, imagining that she was rolling her eyes and just saying that. So I'd stop trying to help. And as we talked about in the Feeling Friends cold open, I was recently on a family trip in Florida. And at one point, my uncle walked, I was staying with my uncle, my parents were staying in a hotel.

And at the end of the night, my uncle walked them out to their rental car. And it took a little while for him to come back in. This is โ anyways, I decided that they were โ They must have been talking about you. Yeah, that they were talking about me and probably how much weight I've gained, even though I have not gained a bunch of weight. But that's where I decided. That's what it must have been.

Yeah. It's coming at all times now, and I don't know why. And I want to talk it out because, again, I do believe this is a form of gluttony. I am force feeding myself with these daymares all the time. And it feels just real quick because you brought up narcissism.

It also feels especially gluttonous and ironically greedy because even though it's negative press, it imagines a world where everyone is talking about me all the time.
