Why Am I Like This? (A Love Letter to Our Inner Critics)

Why does your brain tell you the wildest things — that you’re a fraud, too much, not enough, or one mistake away from everything falling apart? In this first full episode of Stupid Sh*t My Brain Tells Me, three New York therapists sit down to talk honestly about imposter syndrome, inner critics, guilt, perfectionism, and the pressure to “hold it all together.” We get into: Why your brain roasts you for doing normal human things Feeling like you don’t belong — at work, in relationships, or in your own life How culture, family, and systems shape the way we talk to ourselves Why being “professional” doesn’t mean being emotionless Learning to name the voice in your head… and tell it to shut up This isn’t therapy. It’s real conversation. Three friends. Messy thoughts. A lot of “why am I like this?” moments — and a reminder that you’re not broken for having them.
