  She’s saying these things to him to reinforce it into his subconscious. One day he may start believing those lies, and one day they may actually come true. Except the tall thing, he’s fucked.

    Just tell people you’re a long way off. Pretend to be yelling all of your responses, People will think you’re tall but just far away.

    I have the exact opposite.

    No gf of course, but my daily affirmations for the last 20 years are: “you’re a piece of shit. You’re worthless. You’re single because you’re worthless. Don’t seek a gf, no one deserves to suffer your existence. Blue collar shit work is the only thing you’re capable of. You have decayed dog shit where your memory should be. Get fucked asshole, I hate you.”

    It’s fun.

      I don’t think those are affirmations

        That tracks. Usual moron thing: use words you don’t know to appear more intelligent than you are.

      Blue collar shit work is the only thing you’re capable of.

      Is this… bad?.. It’s even popular on youtube: lift technicians, lathe operator, subway drivers.

        I can only speak to the lathe operators, but the pay is not good. Blue collar work is usually underpaid, no advancement, and society generally looks down on you for being “uneducated” and not working a job of value like white collar work.

    Maybe she’s trying to mind over matter experiment. If you just believe strongly enough maybe he’ll grow a couple of inches

  Heels were invented for a reason, you know.

    I’m tall.

    Facebook keeps recommending these hidden lifts that go into your shoes. I’m tempted to get them just to be even taller.

  You can stand up straight tho. People always think I’m taller than I actually am

    Likewise, I’m 5’10”/178 cm, and nobody believes me until I straighten up
