I was hoping that some of the other people with this goal would have an explanation for it. For instance, what exactly am I getting over? Obsessions? Arrogance? Misery? Seriousness? Addiction? All of the above? Maybe this is like that stupid phrase from the 90s: Just Do It! I never heard anyone use that phrase with any clue as to the insusceptibility of some tasks. How does one Just Do a succesful job interview? How does one Just Do peacekeeeping or disaster recovery? It’s a stupid fucking concept designed by and for people who cannot and do not think, deal with difficult situations, or face intractable circumstances.
As for getting over myself, it’s not quite so prescriptive, is it? It can be taken with a sense of humour. Like, as in, “stop being such a tightwad, fuckface!” Yeah. Get over yerself already. I can relate to that.
