Summoning the demon in my mind
The human psyche is more real than consciousness. When I say someone is not good, I actually think of their good qualities, and vice versa. Emotions are like tides, repeatedly washing over.
Therefore, I think in order to prevent myself from being repeatedly washed over, I need to internally embed a different opposing belief in my mind, for balance, to make the inner fluctuations more regular.
For example, I consider myself happy alone 1️⃣, which is true in most cases, but I must implant a belief that I actually enjoy playing with others 2️⃣. Through long-term self-brainwashing, even if I truly don't like playing with others, I can still maintain the happiness of 1️⃣ without being disturbed by 2️⃣. Right?
This is actually acknowledging legitimate needs. In this example, a person wants to satisfy the joy of solitude as well as the need for social interaction, which are inherent in the body. It's like a car having both forward and reverse gears.
Implanting opposing beliefs is a way to soothe the trauma between ideals and reality, without excessively suppressing psychological needs.
In this light, watching movies and playing RPGs regularly is a good way.
Just now in the bathroom, it was like this, I don't like xx, but you like xx. It's like having originally only had a demon or an angel in your mind, now adding another angel or demon. A way of talking to oneself 😂
