For me it was these.

“A focused fool can accomplish more than a distracted genius”

“Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter”

These two quotes really helped get my @** in gear.

    a tumblr meme about replacing self deprecating humor with over the top self belief humor.

    not even kidding, was doomscrolling, this jumped into my feed and burnt itself into my brain and 4 years of doing precisely that later, i’m better than ever and it’s also just a way to break the ice sometimes.

        when you don’t know something, saying shit like “despite my infinite wisdom, this eludes me” instead of “sorry i just dont know”

        just stuff that stands out, gets a chuckle off of people, but is so obviously exaggerated that people know you don’t actually believe that you are infinitely wise.

        and the greatest thing is that after a while you also incorporate these phrases when talking about/to others, so when you need help or something, you ask for their infinite wisdom.

        (sry for the late answer im not used to getting interactions on social media lol)
