Psych

Ever heard of Eddie Murphy's Delirious Stand up comedy, with the Ice cream man, and the kids and their daddies on welfare, and the infamous....Wanna lick? Psych! Or is it Syke?

Have you ever told yourself one thing, but decidedly never really believed yourself? For example, with regards to my exam, I kept telling myself, "I am going to ROCK it." But really, I was praying to God that by some miracle all the questions would be just the ones that I am most comfortable with.

In essence you're psyching or syking yourself out rather than the usual, someone else. Why do you think we would do this to ourselves? that we would fall under the false impression of what we would Like to happen? what we would Want to happen? what we would damn well do anything to attain? (okay, maybe not that extreme), but still.
