Ever feel like everyone else got the "normal human manual"...
and you were absent that day?

Like there's something fundamentally broken inside you that can't be fixed?

If that's hitting home right now — this is for you.

Meet Broken Bobby, the shame gremlin who loves pointing at your scars whispering "defective."

Here are some of the most common ways he appears:

• You feel like everyone else has their life together, but you’re the only one who’s a mess inside.
• You can’t fully enjoy happy moments because you’re braced, waiting for “proof” that you’re actually defective.
• You avoid deep relationships because if people really knew you, they’d see how broken you are.
• You over-explain or over-apologize constantly, assuming people are secretly judging your flaws.
• You live feeling one small mistake away from everyone finally realizing you’re “not normal.”

Any of those hit? If yes, take a breath. You’re not alone—and you’re not broken.

When Bobby starts the “something’s wrong with me” loop:

1. Bleat it out loud (yes, actually make the sound—it interrupts the shame spiral): Shaaa-ame 🐐 (Make it goat-ish. Have fun with it. Shame hates being mocked.)
2. Drop a big truth bomb. Some of my favorites:
   • I’m human, not broken.
   • I’m battle-scarred and still whole.
   • My scars are proof I survived and grew.
3. Name three ways you are beautifully human out loud. Examples:
   • I feel deeply.
   • I care fiercely.
   • I keep showing up even when it’s hard.

When Broken Bobby quiets down, something beautiful happens.

You stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.

You let yourself be seen—scars and all.

You take up space without apology.

You feel joy without bracing for proof you don’t deserve it.

You start living like the whole, worthy human you’ve always been.
