Sour Grapes

Do you ever catch yourself putting something down just because you don't get it/can't have it? If so, then when? If not the feel free to instead talk about how above it all and cool you are.

Legit things I used to tell myself, these days too when I’m feeling petty “I could have a lot of friends but I don’t wanna be fake and shallow” “I could do med but I don’t want to waste my life studying/working/paying off debt” “I would be in a relationship but I don’t wanna be consumed by it and neglect myself/friends. I’m happy with myself and therefore don’t need someone for validation or to serve as a distraction” -Fast food and junk food are bad for you and you don’t have self-control if you eat it (when I’m on a diet) I know people often use this idiom for crushes/love interests that they couldn’t ‘have’ but I’ve never been in such a situation
