The voice in your head swears it knows you. Mostly it’s guessing from old footage.

That narrator is working from an outdated archive. It formed its opinions years ago, when you were worse at most things, and it has not reviewed the tape since. So it keeps predicting the person you were in middle school and calling that self-knowledge.

When it tells you how something will go, ask how recent its information is. Then find one piece of evidence from the last few months that contradicts it. Updating takes repetition, so keep noticing the times the prediction was wrong, not only the times it was right.
