My therapist introduced me to the idea that we can think to ourselves, "I don't get it" when people start playing mind games. I've had encounters with people wherein the group dynamics become so heated with vague accusations and gossiping that it becomes very difficult to untangle what is going on- or create some kind of narrative with which to describe the dynamics to an outsider. In those situations, instead of trying to untangle or describe, I just think to myself "I don't get it."
You could also use this phrase if someone tries to drag you into some kind of argument or fight. It is true- fights don't make much sense. __________________ My business is to teach my aspirations to conform themselves to fact, not to try and make facts harmonise with my aspirations. T.H.

I am comforted by the phrase " the cat sat on the mat"
I don't know why, it's just so satisfying to say, but also so weird when I'm in pubblic and I just blurt it out.. the cat sat on the mat, people are like whaaa?. why are you saying that, what cat? maybe it's because it's one of the first sentences I ever formed. reminds me of childhood I am also comforted by the smell of ciggirette smoke. when I go somewhere and someone is smelling of smoke, I get distracted and turn to face them. I'm surprised no one's asked me.. what, do I smell? (well someone has asked me out if they smell, but she asked me that in relation to something else) |

something else that makes me generally happy is going to the bathroom
it's just a good feeling to know that your body is doing what it should be doing (trust me, it's not as weird as it sounds) |

HAHAHAHAHA, you’re not wrong at all! This made my flipping week. I was explaining essentially this concept to someone who tried picking a fight with me over nothing I could discern not too long ago. It was a case of “he said, she said”, so ergo I did not care. I dismissed what that individual was saying, as I had way better ways to waste my time on the internet that afternoon and that clearly they could not prove anything with hard evidence one way or the other. So, nothing of importance happened until proven otherwise with real evidence instead of vague accusations about nothing at all specific. This assessment, as you can imagine, caused the individual in question to become highly displeased. I told them to have a wonderful day and went about my weekend. Admittedly I like my Schadenfreude so I looked later and saw that they lost it and said all kinds of off the wall things about me. Apparently I’m omnipotent these days. An unexpected ego stroke, but a funny one. Heh. |

I sometimes get down on myself and think of myself as a terrible person, and so I don't deserve X, Y, or Z- and the feeling is hard to shake. Another way to comfort myself is to remember that I am fallible- sometimes my judgments are just wrong. So, perhaps there is another way to view myself and whatever is troubling me, and perhaps I really do deserve X, Y, and Z
