Hmm

We’re not on Lemmus, we’re on Blahaj

Are there more than like 3 or so?

Bambi’s (the baby deer on the mug) mom dies in the opening scene of the movie

Edit: my bad it was not the opening scene- more like the middle apparently? I misremembered

Imagine touching a door knob at all with oily fingers 😭

It’s definitely not the joke, but you can’t know that it wasn’t an intentional part of the joke being made

I think having the incorrect date for Mario makes it be more funnier

It’s not coming through. Try again

Metacognition is a sub-portion of self-awareness that does not look at behavior.

That’s fair, I glossed over the “act” part of your statement

‘self-awareness’ changes meaning somewhat depending on whether it’s being used philosophically, psychoanalitically, etc… I am saying your definition is more exclusionary, though, treating it more as a virtue to strive for rather than just an action one takes.

Also fair, but the context here is it being used as a compliment from a therapist

Functionally, if the only self-awareness is accurate self-awareness, then it can only be an advantage, and thus positive.

Ah I see, I misunderstood what you meant by positive; I thought you were referring to the bit about being aware of your strengths.

I do think exclusively accurate self-awareness can absolutely be a disadvantage though.

I would also argue that awareness does not need to be reflective of reality - you can be aware of hallucinations you are experiencing, or you can be aware that you are experiencing hallucinations.

Mm- I think I agree semantically, like technically it can mean that, but it’s pretty confusing. Consider how the session note looks when written each way:

Client reported experiencing auditory perception in the absence of external stimuli.

vs

Client reported awareness of auditory perception in the absence of external stimuli  

The latter, to me, sounds self contradictory

You are viewing self-awareness as only able to be positive and having an implied lack of bias.

I am not at all viewing it as only able to be positive; it should be accurate. Why call it awareness if it’s not reflecting reality?

I just view it as someone thinking about how they think or act, regardless of whether bias exists in that process. It’s all self-awareness.

That’s not self awareness, that’s meta cognition

I’d argue self-appreciation and self-deprication can both get in the way of self-awareness. Someone experiencing clinically significant grandiosity is likely lacking in self awareness just as someone experiencing clinically significant negative self talk (i.e., cognitive distortion) is likely lacking in self awareness

It’s also worth pointing out, I think, that if you’re only aware of your weaknesses and such, but don’t/can’t recognize your strengths, then you’re not really that self-aware

I think it is an important part of the joke, because it reinforces that no other types of games exist in this guys mind

Haha awesome

Lmao I thought you were guessing/joking until I checked

Grateful for you both bc I did not catch that part of the joke lol

Pretty sure the joke is that they’ve never died before so they usually don’t die from things
