brain condoms

[granger]

How exactly does one forcibly remove a given mental habit from his/her thought processes, anyway? It occurs to me that as time has passed, I as a person have changed (well, duh) . . . but how much of that was specifically a conscious effort? Do people ever just fundamentally change on purpose?

People can and do change their thought patterns on purpose. That's the whole point of CBT.

Speaking from personal experience, yes.

It takes a LOT of effort though. Undoing patterns being far harder then starting new ones.

Interesting title, BTW.

"brain condoms" is the fault of Roy Han from Stuy chorus

There is a reason I knew everything that went on and organized everything for the longest time.

Long long practice at being a creepy stalker.

And I get what I want, ne? ^_~
