Give me a real reality check on this situation

Get an honest perspective when you're too close to see clearly

Describe the situation as objectively as you can

Here's what's going on: [SITUATION]. I've been telling myself [MY_NARRATIVE]. What I want to hear is [WHAT_I_WANT_TO_HEAR] but I'm asking for honesty. Tell me what's actually happening, what I might be missing or avoiding, and what a grounded next step looks like.
