    Have you noticed how most of the people here who are very pessimist about their recover and feel the worst about themselves are the ones who has pessimist/hopeless names? I dont know if you get what Im talking about, I dont wanna give any name but examples would be "HopelessMan" "StupidFuck" "Illneverdoit" "GirlsPleasePayMeAttention". Just exaggerating, none of those exists (I hope) but when they have those kind of emo names, they're always the pessimist kind.

    I dont really think it have to do something with recovering, some people are just pesimist because thats the way they are.

    It seems the name, which comes from the attitude, can be self-fulfilling. That’s why I chose the name I have. I wanted it to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    @Megasameru - your name is cool too - if my high school Japanese serves me right, it means 'wake up' or 'awaken', right?

  9. Now that you mention it that does seem true. Have you noticed that successful people have the most inspirational names, like either way people do live up to their names. I don't know what I was thinking when I came up with my name.

    When I see your name and avatar, the words confident, strong, and determined come to mind... so I think you are on to a good thing!

    I think not only it can have some effect in your recovery as you constantly read that your name (your definiens) is something hopeless, but also it is a signal that you are choosing your name because you feel that way.

    Yes! It is something like "to open your eyes", "to be awaken". I didnt thought about it inspirationally, I used that nickname times before. Thanks!

    Some people set themselves up for failure. I have seen a couple trolls who do shit like that, but not many.

  13. It makes perfect sense to me. Their names are just extensions on their mental state. If you believe youre a worthless piece of shit then youll get shitty results out of life. A positive attitude can lead to incredible change and progress though.

    I thought I had a bad name until I saw yours.
     
  15. Meh. I wanted to choose something that I wasn't using anywhere else. Plus, often it's true. I didn't think of it as prophecy, but as a reminder.

    “GirlsPleasePayMeAttention“ will be my 2018 username.

  17. That works fine for your conscious mind but your subconscious mind still sees you associating yourself with a negative trait.
     
  18. Not a bad point. I'll have to consider that.

    I actually sort of believe this. My username used to be "Limp P Dickinson" and I relapsed a lot.
