CHALLENGE: (Don't read if you don't want to be challenged.)

Is it possible there is a voice inside you saying you are lazy?
Perhaps repeating what a parent used to say?

This sounds like a classical case of cognitive distortion (hearing something other than what was said), particularly if it has happened with more than one T. This still happens to me from time to time.

I'm sure this is not what you believe and definitely not what you want to hear, but the mind can play tricks.
