Get the Self Service Kioskmug. The age-old conundrum of "people who seek self-improvement vs. people who need self-improvement" --- generally speaking, the people who are conscientious and unashamedly self-examining enough to actively seek ways to improve themselves do not really need to self-improve very much, whereas the people who truly do need to improve themselves will not admit that they even HAVE a self-inadequacy problem, and so they arrogantly/impatiently refuse to seek or accept help in improving their character or behavior (think, the infamous "getters gettin' got" conversation between Madea and Dr. Phil).
Client, to counsellor, at the outset of their weekly meeting: Breaker one-five for reality check --- come on back?
Counsellor, playing along: Yeah, go ahead, Breaker --- reading you wall-to-wall and treetop-tall.
Client: Thanks --- that's a big ten-four, good buddy. Well, I'm in the process of trying to improve myself, and so I thought I'd send a random shout-out over the waves to check my progress. I've been trying to be more sociable and patient and helpful to everyone, visualize things more from their perspective, and so on.
Counsellor: Well, eights and other good numbers to you on THAT one, good buddy --- that's certainly a positive start. Have you tried self-help books?
Client: Oh, a great BIG ten-four THERE, good buddy --- I've read at least a half-dozen of 'em cover-to-cover, and loved every page; the problem, though, is that I never seem to find any new ideas --- most everything in there is stuff I already know about and am actively practicing, so the books just reassuringly confirm the nature and wisdom of my efforts, not provide fresh perspectives for further improvement.
Counsellor: Ah... well, ten-four, good buddy --- I totally "get you" there... the old "self-help paradox", eh?? The only people who'll read those books are ones who don't need 'em!

Get the self-help paradoxmug. "Damn, Adam has stopped hanging out with us and sits plays video games at home all day."

" Wow, Katia has been studying a lot recently, she's becoming a self-whore"
"Good for her! I wish I knew how to focus on my work as good as she does"

Get the your younger selfmug. You know when you just want to catch everything in sight on fire? Or fist fight people with no warning hoping multiple people try to stop you so you can fight them too? Or steal some rich old white guy's third car so you can test it out in a police chase in the middle of the night? Or maybe paint yourself in the blood of a non-descript animal and just walk around in public with a huge smile being way too friendly and close to others for somebody obviously covered in any blood whatsoever? But you think about it and don't even though you have no respect for society's comfort? Yeah. That's the ticket.

Get the Self-Restraintmug. An unbelievable projected image of self-martyrdom by someone clinging to their position of power. A person who is being hounded by a pack of whistleblowers, and who desperately needs to elicit sympathy from their fanatical, conspiracy believing, racist supporters who need a shred of evidence to activate their support.
