You can get stronger by thinking about training. Although I dont think it is the same as thinking about already having the strength thus making your analogy still accurate.

I wonder if you can talk to your friend about how problematic it is to deflect his discomfort with his gf's behavior by deciding unilaterally that she's crazy. There's a terrible gender dynamic in this — so easy for a male bodied person to pretend it's all her and she's nuts. Unfortunately, women have literally been committed to mental institutions or murdered because of someone else's unexamined story. I really appreciate, Hyde, your prompting the friend to take a look at himself.
