Hell, I'd like to hang out with my shadow and bro it up and play vidya. I always wanted a co-op bro, and I assume we would have some really terrific banter. If all went well we could be e-celebs or have our own sit-com.

You will never finish every movie ever

Pick the ones you like and roll with them. Looking at lots of different games isn't bad, but don't feel obligated to love every single one enough to finish it.

Everything you do is a failure and it's not anyone else's fault but your own. You are a spineless loser who is unable to accomplish anything that's actually trying.

You know what it takes to fix this but you don't do it and think of shitty excuses.

Not necessarily... some of those aspects might actually be plesant if you come to terms with them. Shadow = Aspects you "deny" about yourself, both consciously and unconsciously. And when we are under extreme stress of some sort, the moments where we loose our cool or suffer some sort of tragedy, those aspects are often reveled.

the point of the shadows in P4 was that they were exagerating facts about the characters, they knew inside they had some shit going on, but the shadow showed them as if they were really fucked inside, which is what made them confront them and deny them, since they knew they werent THAT broken.

Eventually I have to get up and do something just to get my mind off this torture.
I either have to wait until morning till I'm so tired I can fall asleep without thinking, or masturbate repeatedly until I'm so exhausted I can't even think straight.

I think most functioning adults can.

The only reason shadows are a problem for the cast of P4 is because they're all teenagers in high school, which is the time at which most people are uncomfortable with who they are. The shadow selves exploit this by taking someone's perceived/actual worst trait and cranking it up to insane levels, which these high school kids who've probably never seriously tried to confront their inner demons can't handle.

So as long as you don't have any seriously deep-seated psychological issues with yourself, facing your shadow should be pretty simple.

High school me would've been fucking murdered.
