Self-conscious thought

They load on to the same circuits as negative emotion! So they're the same thing!

Hym "Which is a ridiculous thing to say... It's like saying '2 Broke Girls is on the same channel as Young Sheldon! They're functionally the same show! They wouldn't be on the same channel if they weren't the same show!' and that's ridiculous. Preposterous even! So, self-conscious thoughts are still not the same as negative emotion but it would be convenient for you for people to view thinking about themselves as a negative thing."
