Project Update: Patterns (Intelligence -Tailspin)
I can get into a tailspin when I see someone else do something that indicates they are smarter than I am. This tailspin doesn't ALWAYS happen with these situations, just sometimes.
1) why am I comparing
1a) habit: can I and should I stop?
2) am I right about the conclusion
2a) reminder: I'm not actually stupid; habit: don't jump to the conclusion someone is way way smarter just because you see someone who's out of the ordinary
3) why does it matter
3a) unfortunately I think I know why, and making it matter less may be a therapist project
Progress.
This is only one tiny drop in the ocean of this project, but it is concrete and can be examined. That's a win in my book.
