I've never been good with repeating positive reinforcement to myself; I could never stick with it because it never felt real. Good to know I didn't waste my time with it. Self defeating thoughts do have a sense of nostalgia to them though, and it just feels "right" when they come around. They also keep my expectations low, which helps reduce anxiety and keep me from disappointment. Accept for watching Transformers 2... I was terribly disappointed in that movie.

For me you comment makes sense. It could be the basis of a new study.

If what you infer turns out to be verified through science, it could establish the foundation of a new field of psychology.

One book I read about "social anxiety" actually recommended "Have a dinner party with 10 of your friends, and get feedback from them...". As if I could.

Some people are sad, can be cheered up for a bit, and then go bad to sad. And so some are angry, some shy, some happy... and will revert to this by default.
