He is. Shoot your shot, kid
Makes total sense!
Research has been done on how our minds process “gratification” and studies have shown that merely telling others about about what we’re planning to accomplish feels almost exactly the same as actually accomplishing it.
As soon as you get that pat on the back from someone else about the progress you’ve made, your mind feels like it’s received your external reward already, so it doesn’t see a reason why it should continue doing the hard work of creating.
Next time, try intentionally NOT talking with others about a project you’re working on until it’s 100% complete. See if that helps keep you motivated.
We sometimes play an improv game called “1-2-3 WORD”.
The goal is to get 2 players to shout the same word at the same time. Best if played in a group of 3 or more, but the bigger the group, the better.
You start the game someone throwing out a word for inspiration (ex: “pizza”).
To play the game, two players next to each other face each other and simultaneously shout “1-2-3 {WORD}”, where {WORD} is the word/phrase which first comes to mind when each player thinks of the inspiration word (“pizza”).
If the 2 players happen to shout the same {WORD}, the game ends. If the 2 players each say a different {WORD}, play moves clockwise 1 position to the next player and the new inspiration are the {WORDS} which the prior 2 players said. You may not reuse words previously said.
It is a very quick game that can be played on car trips and usually gets a laugh when you finally get a pair that says the same word. It’s also helpful to go AS FAST AS YOU CAN in saying the words. The idea behind the game is to get in sync with the other players so you’re all starting to think alike.
Example: Players - 4 Inspiration word - PIZZA
Player 1 & Player 2 face off: P1 word - “Cheese!” P2 word - “Dominoes!”
Words don’t match, so next round begins: Inspiration words - CHEESE and DOMINOES
P2 word - “Bread sticks!” P3 word - “Board games!” (because “dominoes isnt just a pizza company, it’s also a board game and that very well could be a conclusion someone could draw from the inspiration words)
Words don’t match, so next round begins: Inspiration words - BREADSTICKS and BOARD GAMES
P3 word - “Game night!” P4 word - “Game night!”
Words match, so the game ends!
It usually takes MUCH longer than 3 rounds to match up (unless siblings are facing off - it’s best to separate close friends so the game doesn’t end too early).

Fuck these monsters. Government won’t even let the homeless eat these little monsters, so they have no dignity and purpose beyond harassing good-natured citizens.

This mindset is fucked.
Neat.
