But what if I'm not enjoying life and can't even start what I want to finish but my life? 👁👄👁
I will still watch 2nd season just to have a conclusion if there is one but wouldn't mind it not existing. I hate that I don't enjoy it but the drive to finish something I started can nag me to watch it further just to scratch an itch.
Why can't you start what you want to finish? :D
LoL you have sunk cost fallacy with that kind of thing too XD My middle child is the same, she was complaining about how crap this series she was watching (and by extension I was somewhat watching as I think she'd asked me to work on her at the time) and I was like why are you watching it then and her reply was I'M INVESTED as she'd watched a fair chunk of the rest of the series and felt this need to finish it even though she wasn't enjoying it XD
I guess if you're deriving a kind of pleasure from being sadomasochistic or being able to criticise the hell out of it then it's fine? XD
I didn't know sunk cost fallacy was the term but I like that I got a term for this bad habit. It's been a love and hate feeling where sometimes sticking around pays off as the show gets better or it just sinks like expected. Sometimes I'm just after the catharsis, finally it's done and I can move on now from the shitty show.
Self sabotage and perfectionism, living inside my own head and I'm aware of it like the elephant in the room. I got a lot of projects in mind but it always ends up with me doubting whether I can finish it or if it's good enough. I know the cure but not ready to put in the work. This is my curse to myself, I don't like it but as it persists it feels like I am my own cosmic sadist.
The perfectionism thing got me for quite a while. Then I figured, I'll just do it now and fix it later when I'm better.
"later" was sooner than I thought when I was in the fast improvement phase, now I have til much later XD
If you want it just go and you'll get there eventually even if you have to make a few interesting stops along the way :)
I consciously do the wrong things to make it worse and then self loathe, trying to turn my life around by blogging. The conscious act of blogging ties my motivation to write and sketch so I got that going which is nice.
Well you know so that's a good start ;D and even better with the blogging helping the writing and sketching, now the rest should follow :)
