the lies i tell myself

In this episode of "Anything Goes," Emma Chamberlain reflects on the various lies she tells herself, a common human tendency used as a coping mechanism. She emphasizes that while self-deception is natural, it's often harmful and something she actively tries to minimize through self-reflection. Emma shares personal examples, including rationalizing procrastination, suppressing hurt feelings to avoid confrontation, and the superstitious belief that manifesting desires can jinx them. She also touches on the pressure of social media, the struggle to be over exes, and the workaholic tendencies that lead her to deny her need for rest and outside engagement, ending with a reminder to confront these self-deceptions and a promotion of her podcast and other ventures.
