Principia Discordia > Think for Yourself, Schmuck!
There's Nothing Special About You (and that's liberating as heck)

I agree. The difference between "no one is special" and "everyone is special" is semantic. Nobody is more special, if you like.
--- Quote ---And your "working for the net good of all", fuck that noise too, i think that literally anyone that uses that line is a naive fascist at heart, thinking that they know "what is good for everyone" and with the slightest chance or power given to them they would rush to impose it upon others - to make an omelette you gotta break some eggs, right? As long as its for the greater good.

Oh, I don't think I know what it is. I don't even know what it means. Anyone who claims to know either needs to be treated with absolute suspicion.
(And for the record, I don't usually agree about breaking eggs to make omelettes. Except, like, non-metaphorical omelettes, in which case there's probably a way to do it by boiling an egg in a centrifuge or something.)
If that makes it meaningless for you (or everyone), oh well. I'm not really trying to convince anyone. It works for me.

My best trick to do this is to visualize a camera in the room with me, like some director is putting this scene into a movie. Try it out right now, visualize what you'd look like if this moment was a scene in a TV show. Maybe I get a precious glimpse of how I appear to others. I get a different perspective on my automatic reactions, because I'm not inside of them.

I've been studying body image disorders lately. What begins as healthy self awareness can lead to all kinds of problems when you cannot turn it off any more. Having to think all the time how you present yourself to the outside can be debilitating.
I get you are not advocating for that, but do realize the same problem can be approached from multiple directions.
