Note to self: when feeling badly about your self esteem and the fact that you’re unemployed you may be tempted to watch gallons of reality television considering that’s the majority of programming for daytime tv. However, do not fall into this trap. You will sit in the same position watching people who have “made it” by doing absolutely nothing and therefore further lower your self esteem (even if you didn’t know that was possible). You will sit and listen to Rachel Zoe say things like “that’s totally major” or watch Snooki get arrested for the second time or watch the Real Housewives sit around a dinner table acting like third graders and actually WISH that you could be them.
And the demeaning angry voice in your head starts to snowball: why isn’t my dad connected to the mob? Why can’t I be paid to drink and club? Why can’t I play dress up with million dollar articles of clothing and get paid for it? Etc. etc. etc.
So while in the past they may have been your guilty pleasure. Now they just make you feel straight guilty
