I don’t feel good
Therefore I am bad
Therefore no one loves me
I feel good
Therefore I am good
Therefore everyone loves me
I am good
You do not love me
Therefore you are bad. So I don’t love you.
I am good
You love me
Therefore you are good. So I love you
I am bad
You love me
Therefore you are bad
The mind can turn temporary feelings into judegments about identity and our relationships – without time to slow down self reinforcing cycles – we can conclude assumptions and feelings in the moment and make or live them as reality.
