The terrible realization that the chocolate chips in your cookie are, in fact raisins. Yet, you continue to consume the cookie simply because it's a cookie, even though its not the cookie you want.
An overwhelming disappointment when you realize you've set high expectations based on the appearance of an item.

Beth: Hey are you still dating Landon??
Mica: Yeah, but he's a total Cookie Paradox. His dick is tiny.
Beth: Oh but he's so attractive and funny, what are you gonna do?
Mica: Well, I'm obviously going to fool around with him until I find something better.

Get the the axel paradoxmug. 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. The Roman Mars Paradox is a thought experiment that illustrates an apparent paradox of experiencing Roman Mars in different forms of media. In the thought experiment, Roman Mars may be considered simultaneously both attractive and unattractive as a result of being linked to the event of viewing Roman Mars.
The Roman Mars Paradox can include both of these statements.
Roman Mars is so attractive, he makes my pussy wet!
I saw Roman Mars and it made my pussy dry-up like a saltine cracker.

It appears i suffer from the toilet cleaners paradox as I can't progress in my career while others more forward.
