Julia runs into Brenda, who had met Monty before, and discovers they are now a couple. Brenda pulls Julia to the side and berates her, stating that he is beneath her status. When Monty arrives at the hospital, it is revealed that Sierra accidentally started a fire and that the girls were home alone with no adult supervision until Maya rescued them. Social Services representative Laurie Bell grants immediate temporary custody to Jennifer. Meanwhile, the girls face constant abuse and neglect from Joe and Jennifer.
Maybe that person meant well—but now you might spend the rest of the day thinking (spiraling?) about how you look so terrible that your coworkers quite literally think you’re ill. Ultimately, a “Chef Aid” benefit concert is organized to raise money for Chef to hire Cochran for his own lawsuit against the record company. At the concert, Cochran has a change of heart and offers to represent Chef pro bono. He again successfully uses the Chewbacca defense, this time to defeat the record company and force them to acknowledge Chef’s authorship of their song. In the second use of the Chewbacca defense, he ends by taking out a monkey puppet and shouting, “Here, look at the monkey. Look at the silly monkey!” causing a juror’s head to explode. Bloom’s taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models used for classification of educational learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity.
Many people have experienced moments of self-doubt or guilt, where they may say things like “I’m sorry I’m a horrible person.” While it may seem harmless on the surface, these types of statements can actually be quite damaging to one’s mental health and well-being.
The power of self-talk
Monty accepts a job as a driver for attorney Julia Rossmore at the recommendation of his next-door neighbor Maya to earn extra money. One night, after Julia’s friends Brenda and Cynthia set her up on a blind date with Byron, Monty has to work later than expected. While driving her home, Monty receives a call that his children were involved in a house fire, so he immediately heads to the hospital without telling Julia, who fires him. “Fine” can be an extremely positive word that anybody should be pleased with. Look it up and you’ll see that it sometimes means “of superior or best quality”—like fine dining, for example. But that doesn’t change the fact that there are multiple definitions of the word and “it’s fine” is more commonly used to describe something as incredibly mediocre.
Our thoughts and the way we speak to ourselves have a significant impact on our emotions and behaviors. When we repeatedly tell ourselves negative things like “I’m a horrible person,” we start to internalize these beliefs and they become ingrained in our minds.
When you make an inappropriate comment or insensitive joke, the wound is internal, which can make patching things up more fraught. It may also help to keep a tally of how many times you apologize in a day and for what reasons. Therefore I act like a man and confess to loving those dear to me more than other men. You may be sure that I love the Earl of Buckingham more than anyone else, and more than you who are here, assembled. I wish to speak in my own behalf and not to have it thought to be a defect, for Jesus Christ did the same, and therefore I cannot be blamed. The play, set in Verona, Italy, begins with a street brawl between Montague and Capulet servants who, like the masters they serve, are sworn enemies.
“When you were called to the school over his troubling drawing, I was planning an oil change for my daughter. At the parents’ sentencing hearing, the victims’ families urged the judge to give the Crumbleys the maximum punishment of 15 years, significantly higher than the state’s recommendation of months. “Remorse does not sound like, ‘I feel really bad.’ … I’m sure they do,” McDonald said, but added that’s not the kind of remorse and accountability that the victims are looking for. In pushing for a stiff sentence, McDonald argued there has been “no remorse or accountability” by the Crumbleys.
Prince Escalus of Verona intervenes and declares that further breach of the peace will be punishable by death. Later, Count Paris talks to Capulet about marrying his daughter Juliet, but Capulet asks Paris to wait another two years and invites him to attend a planned Capulet ball. Lady Capulet and Juliet’s Nurse try to persuade Juliet to accept Paris’s courtship.
Impact on self-esteem
Statements like “I’m sorry I’m a horrible person” can chip away at our self-esteem and confidence. Constantly putting ourselves down can lead to feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy, making it difficult to see our own value and potential.
Perpetuating a negative cycle
By engaging in negative self-talk and constantly berating ourselves, we can get caught in a vicious cycle of self-criticism and low self-worth. This can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and even self-sabotaging behaviors.
Changing the narrative
It is important to challenge these negative beliefs and replace them with more positive and compassionate self-talk. Instead of saying “I’m sorry I’m a horrible person,” try reframing it to something like “I am worthy of love and respect.” Practicing self-compassion and self-care can help break the cycle of negative thinking and improve overall mental well-being.
