Dana W says
You are now apparently the voice in my head. I’m still doing this over stupid crap of the 70’s and 80’s……..
Opus the Poet says
Oh [$DEITY] yes this is so much my life.
Tomasz Gwóźdź says
It’s always a big deal.
Stephania Donayre says
Always.
FML says
I’m 50 years old and I do this over things I did in 3rd grade.
Peter says
Oh yeah, me too. But the ones that kick my ass start in adolescence. I wish stopping that kind of thinking was as easy as wanting to stop.
Natalia Guimarães says
Been there
Natalia Guimarães says
Done that
Rebecca Tordoff says
Oh my, yep.
Daniele Gallesio says
An optimistic strip, at last! He did get old… ?

Tytti Salo says
This is me, yep.
Dana W says
You get to sleep??? Lucky.
April says
Maybe not lucky. Once the voice starts on past failings, the nightmares can start using them for source material. Start with a bad decision or mistake, then think of a way it could have been much worse than it was. Repeat for another one or use the same one with another “worse than what actually happened” ending. All night. Before sleeping and after getting to sleep.
Jsoe Eblol says
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!! ( that was too close to comfort)
Esmerelda Bohème says
Dude… let it GO! LOL. (Scary though, my grama does this. Guess it’s genetic?)

Johnny Wendigo says
Nothing I’m sorry I did…But I’m sorry I did not wring the neck of half a dozen assholes!
Sometimes the bear says
I like to think of this as a broken evolutionary mechanism – remembering “don’t ever eat those pink berries that made you sick last time” becomes remembering “don’t ever do that thing that socially humiliated you when you were 6”. Some of those traumatically learned memories are useful, most are just impedimenta.
Brad Grierson says
I am constantly kicking myself about the stupid shit I’ve done. One moment I’m having a normal day and BAM! I’m hating myself so much for something stupid I said 22 years ago.
Klatom says
So true. Even for someone without depression, a detailist with good memory is enough. I am replaying all the tiny stupidities done ever, even if it’s 30 years ago, and still feel embarrassed and ashamed for them. 🙁
