Self Sabotage

Self-sabotage is when you set your own trap, fall in it, and then yell, “Who did this?!” It’s your brain playing prankster when you’re just trying to live your best life.

Discrete Self Model

The unspoken assumption behind most of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders): that every human is a neatly bounded, fully knowable individual who can be diagnosed like a glitchy toaster.

Used to justify labeling complex, context-driven human behavior as “disordered” while ignoring trauma, systems, relationships, and late-stage capitalism.

Symptoms may include:
• Taking your emotions personally
• Believing your thoughts are facts
• Assuming “normal” exists
• Diagnosing others on TikTok
Therapist: “Sounds like you might meet criteria for 296.89.”
Patient: “Or maybe I’m just rejecting the Discrete Self Model.”
Therapist: “…I’ll need to consult the DSM-6 for that.”

Self-defacating

A genre of humour, by which someone shits all over themselves as a matter of strategy to avoid merited criticism for their job performance by seeking a mercy-fuck from would be supervisors

Not to be confused with self-deprecating humour which can be socially valued as a means of honest emotional communication of vulnerability to enrich a forum for discussion - rather than for seeking to preempt or curtail it.
Mr. Little Shit, the head of fundraising, was using his self-defacating sense of humour to avoid imposition of reporting requirements or performance indicators..

Stupid self

In Saint Lucia, "stupid self" is used to cut the sentence shorter in order to give peremptory commands or statements while insulting them
1) Oye, wah you doing deh?! Move your stupid self before I go lose it! (Oye, what are you doing there?! Get outta here you idiot, before I get really mad!)

2) Okay, I go move my stupid self (Okay, I'll remove myself from this area)

Self

Love is not real and one of your kids lives is contingent on whether or not you tell me where you are going to watch me and who is responsible.
Hym "The self is real. Love is not. The self is the entirety of your conscious experience (internal and external) and you are being obtuse because you don't want to have to admit I was right. Stop doing it. All of the negative consequences of this are entirely the result of you trying to avoid having to answer me and all of the positive ones came directly from me. You cannot possibly believe I'm going to let you fillbuster me to death. You need to let the shit go. At this point it's clear you don't care if I kill the kid so why not just admit you just want to get away with it. You don't care if a kid has to die for you to do it."
