You know how someone will troll a community and the general reaction is either "What a jerk" or arguing with the person, with a bit of what a jerk thrown in?

How come we tend not to do that with the trolls in our heads? How come, when they whisper that we're awful, terrible and stupid to boot, we tend to *believe* them more often than not?

I've got more, but a thunderstorm just started and 1)it's fun to watch and 2) I hate it when the power goes off when I'm in the middle of typing.

Because those aren't trolls. They're more like con men. A con artist knows what you're likely to believe, and tells you that.

Enjoy the thunderstorm.
