This ChatGPT prompt is a gut punch (in a good way).
I’ve definitely had moments where I feel stuck, like I’m quietly sabotaging myself but can’t quite see the full picture. Someone on Reddit just shared a prompt that turns ChatGPT into a brutally honest interviewer, and it’s a total game-changer for self-reflection.
Instead of vague advice, it forces you to provide the ammo. The AI interviews you, then uses your own words to create an assessment. Because it’s all based on your answers, the insights are incredibly sharp and personal.
✍️ The Prompt of the Day
Here’s the magic formula to try yourself:
“Ask me 10-12 personal questions to understand my daily habits, mindset, emotional patterns, sources of avoidance, core values, and self-destructive tendencies. Once you’ve gathered my answers, write a brutally honest self-assessment. Highlight my blind spots, contradictions, and the stories I tell myself to avoid change. Then, write a message from my ‘ideal self’ calling me out with clarity and care. It should be raw but not cruel.”
✨ What This Unlocks
The output is genuinely powerful. Here’s the breakdown of what you get:
🔬 An in-depth interview about your core patterns.
📜 A brutally honest self-assessment based on your own words.
💡 A clear look at the blind spots and contradictions you ignore.
🚀 A wake-up call from your “ideal self” that’s motivating, not mean.
This is for you if you’re ready to hear the stuff you usually dodge. For all the details on the original poster’s experience, check out the full post.
