Someone is wrong on the Internet.
I finally became more aware of this and realise mid-response that this is nonsense. But by then I'm invested.
My solution: A file "nobody-cares.txt" where I can paste it, which feels easier than just closing the tab.
Therapist says this is a fine first idea, but by doing so, I still attribute value to this nonsense. So next step is to just discard everything I had typed. Actually feels good sometimes.
I am doing this immediately. Thanks for sharing.
Deciding not to do something mid-way through can really be a relieve, but i also have to make an active decision to disregard it. Usually the thought that pushes me from 'i really have to do this' to 'i don't have to do this really' is along the lines of 'i deserve my time of energy for something better then this'. As you say, the words only seem valuable because i attributed value to it in the first place.
Post the file
Never thought of this but it so is!
ESPECIALLY if they're wrong about something I am obsessed with.
