A fan asked
Kevin Smith how he deals with his insecurities, and his advice is something we can adhere to. He said, “Insecurity is a fictional story that we tell ourselves about what we fear the world oakecvinsmih thinks of us. So since it’s all made up just tell yourself a BETTER fictional story, in which everything always works out OK. If you’re gonna make shit up anyway, might as well make it positive.”
He is so right. Most of us our own worst critic, so why don’t we become our best reviewer. I mean he did make Jersey Girl with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, after the two of them did Gigli, and he still saw it as a good movie.
Seriously though, one of my favorite all-time scenes from any movie is from Jay & Silent Bob. At the end of the movie, they go knocking on the doors of all the people who gave them bad reviews on the internet and beat the crap out of them. Imagine if we could do that to our online bullies. Since we legally can’t, then we need turn the negatives into a positive.
