Once I had a camera on to help my kid with an essay. It was late and I was cranky. At the time it made sense to be cranky, but watching myself later was eye-opening: I could not believe what a jerk I could be. I felt like I "grew up" 10 years in 10 minutes. I think seeing ourselves in our daily routine is helpful introspection. Highly recommend it

It's surprising how many people don't know any of this. It should be taught in school from a young age, along with skepticism

[MindinViolet]

In my experience, the crazier a person’s beliefs, the more certain they tend to be about them.

Well, I feel mediocre at everything.
I'm doubting myself all the time and that's exhausting.

But what's absolutely exasperating is when you know enough to recognize those who know much less than you and believe they're smarter than you.

As a licensed therapist, this was a wonderful way of presenting cognitive distortions and how they impact how we feel and behave. Cheers Joe!

Kinda reminds me of the saying: "A fool can learn from his own mistakes, a wise man can learn from the mistakes of others" when Joe brings up the Dunning-Kruger effect going around.

There's also "Answers with Joe" bias where you like the video before watching it.

I suffer from a disorder where my brain lies to me and effects me in harmful ways, I find watching videos like this helps me remind myself that it's just a disorder and not reality. Thoughts are often more damaging then you believe them to be :) Keep making videos like this Joe, you've made a new subscriber from me x
