"Do you have any? Mine is thinking anyone who doesn’t fancy me is blind or only attracted to women " Mine is causing an argument for no reason. Eg the mrs will ask if I want something from Deliveroo, I’ll say no, then when it arrives I’ll ask why she didn’t get me anything. I don’t know why I do it, other than the fact I am a horrible person | |||

Cuts both ways doesn't it, as long as those around you know it's not simple minded heels in the ground I'm not doing it behaviour, but more so just the wiring of you, it helps. It's a difficult one though, always trying to knock off the rough edges and make it more palatable. But a brick with slightly smoother corners, is still a brick haha. | |||

"I'm so self-critical it's toxic" Ah yeah, that lush chestnut. I found CBT techniques quite helpful, kind of accept the stupid self loathing, let it wash over you, acknowledge, process, then fight back against it with logic and kindness. Sounds a bit woo woo I know, but eventually it's habit forming and the neural pathways for the negativity reduces and the positive increases. | |||

One, people don't like being told that their problems could be worse, especially if you give them examples of those with worse problems. They don't care about others problems, only theirs for the most part. Two, military, ems, police etc. see so much human suffering that you have to harden yourself to it to an extent or you couldn't deal with it. I don't think that's toxic but I understand how you feel it appears to others who never experience such things, and simply can't relate to it. | |||

"It's no silver bullet, that's for sure, but, a tool in the box that's useful when combined with other strategies. There's no simple prescriptive strategy, it's a journey of picking up bit's and pieces as you go. Difference being, when rocked, you know the feeling, the pitfalls, outcomes and pathways. That does have value, compared to someone that's never had an issue, because when they do, it can be such a shock it's destabilising in the extreme. So take solace in the past failures and difficulties, that's learning, experience and insight to help future you and possibly someone else. In my next Ted Talk, why writing off cars has value, you learn about braking distances, lift off oversteer and changing conditions affecting grip. Also, how you prop up body shops, repair technicians and the insurance industry. | |||

"I can't forget any negative comments that are made to me by people who mean something to me and I keep repeating these things to myself. I don't take compliments seriously, I always think there's a hidden agenda." This is me too. I never believe that people are talking to me or spending time with me because they like me - it must be out of politeness or because they want something from me. It means I frequently decline invitations or refuse to make plans because I don't believe they're genuine, which makes me come across as aloof and snobby. I can't accept compliments either, yet I remember every nasty thing that's ever been said to or about me. | |||

" I was a nurse for many years, and at first everything distressed me, made me feel inadequate as I couldn’t cope like the more experienced nurses and got too emotionally involved. As time went on I realised it wasn’t that they were hardened to death or suffering, it was that they had learned to cope with it by humour, being pragmatic, and compartmentalising, so that they could maintain their professionalism, but they never stopped caring. It certainly helped me cope with all of life’s curveballs x Viv x | |||

"Toxic is a strong word. I don’t have any toxic traits. I’m stubborn, sarcastic, very pragmatic and perhaps a little too blunt sometimes
I’m a fucking delight deep down though. "I get told I'm blunt. Typical Yorkshireman, I suppose. Loveable though | |||

"Another toxic trait I have is I think if I had to go one on one against Tom hardy for a woman I’d come out victorious because she’ll choose my looks, wit and charm. " Because Tom Hardy has no noticeable looks, wit or charm?  | |||

"Do you have any? Mine is thinking anyone who doesn’t fancy me is blind or only attracted to women Mine is causing an argument for no reason. Eg the mrs will ask if I want something from Deliveroo, I’ll say no, then when it arrives I’ll ask why she didn’t get me anything. I don’t know why I do it, other than the fact I am a horrible person Nice lol Indeed. Not something I’m proud of but the question was asked… A good argument never hurt anyone Maybe not but petty arguments just for the sake of it…no bueno. The worst thing is I know I am being a dick, but for some reason I carry on. " Being brutally honest: I had a girlfriend who used to do that. Dumped her as I couldn’t be dealing with the stress and the stupid arguments. One of my life choices is not to be around people who behave like that. | |||
