You aren't a loser for neglecting yourself for two weeks.

So what?

You've procrastinated a bunch of things you had to get done.

You haven't gotten back to your friends.

Maybe you've been a really bad friend.

Maybe your personal hygiene has taken a hit in the last two weeks.

Hey, it happens.

And I think that that last phrase, it happens, is something we forget to repeat to ourselves and therefore we almost like gaslight ourselves into thinking that this is just how it's going to be forever.

When really all you need to do is reframe it.

But reframing is lame.

Nobody wants to reframe anything.

If you objectively have not looked after yourself, you told somebody that you were going to go to a party and then all of a sudden you're playing Minecraft for three hours and you're like, I don't really want to go to this.

So you fade it.

And then your friends are kind of questioning you being like, dude, what is going on with you?

You aren't yourself.

You aren't excited to go after the things that matter to you.

You're just like sitting around waiting for something to happen.

Like, are you good?

what is there to reframe objectively you're you're messing up but the more that you tell yourself that you are the bigger the hole you dig in and just like in minecraft what do they tell you you never dig straight down how do you dig yourself out of this loop

Well, first, my friend, I want you to know you're talking to an expert.
