I do it for other things too, motivational... "we can do it" when trying to run longer or faster for training... I'll even go to "I know you want to stop, just a little bit more... just to this point, then we'll take a break"

"Can't they just leave us alone" when wanting some quietness.

"we're good by ourselves" "we don't need anyone else" "we get along with ourselves" "we like us"

These types of statements in my head are rarely I statements.

Let me know if this should be a thread.
