I need a new plan

For years, I've been telling myself stupid stuff, that has gotten me into trouble, sometime a LOT of trouble, so I've been trying to find a way to stop telling myself stupid stuff. So far, all my efforts have failed. I have tried not listening to myself when I tell myself stupid stuff, but I listened anyway.

Most recently, I tried screening the stuff I tell myself, but that failed too. I suspect that I peeked at the list of screened stuff, which defeated the whole purpose of screening in the first place. I've even tried pausing a moment, when I tell myself stuff, to evaluate whether it is stupid or not, before acting on the stuff I've told myself, but I usually wind up ignoring the warnings I give myself about the stuff I've just told myself.

Since I cannot stop myself from telling myself stupid stuff, I need a plan to stop myself from acting on the stupid stuff I tell myself. I've found that stating "well, I told me to", does not cut me any slack, when I've done some of the stupid stuff I've told myself to do.

You would, most assuredly, have personal knowledge of the referenced fact.

When thinking about something, consider this;
“Nothing, Everything, Anything, Something: If you have nothing, then you have everything, because you have the freedom to do anything, without the fear of losing something.”

I'll leave you with this;
"Blessed are they that have nothing to say, and who cannot be persuaded to say it”

Why? Who's more dangerous, the person who acts like an i***t and is unaware of that fact, or the person who acts like an i***t and knows it?

Then again, though not dangerous but slightly annoying, are those here that are i***ts, act like i***ts, know they're i***ts - but spend a lot of time trying to convince everyone that YOU'RE the i***t. I won't mention any names, but the initials are RW.

Let me reassure you; there is some sort of instinctive filtering going on, because if I acted on ALL the stupid stuff I tell myself - the world would burn. I just need to figure out what that filter is and develop a drug to amplify it, then I won't be doing any of the stupid stuff I tell myself to do. :lol:

Your worst enemy is closer than you think - it is wearing your clothes as a disguise. :? ;-)

I prefer your brilliant observations on the stupidity of some of our positions. You have a knack for presenting things in the least offensive manner.

Thanks. Wh**ever "knack" I possess, was hard won - through a lot of trial an error, similar to the topic mentioned here. :lol: ;-)

I am almost always ON trial, so it figures. Or maybe I'm on error, I forget.

Great - another error. Like the old saying "If at first you don't succeed, trial and trial again". :mrgreen:
