Sometimes you can have a private conversation with yourself in your mind. That's when you give yourself advice or congratulation. I said to myself or I thought to myself seem appropriate to me in that context.
Curated. 6Music is partial to a 'curated playlist'. I don't know why but it irritate the bejeebus out of me - I find it incredibly pretentious. Last week's GW House Plant special (which I enjoyed, although I know it wasn't altogether popular on here) had a curated selection of house plants for us. I wanted to put my fist through the telly (but it's a flat-screen, so that wouldn't have been very satisfying). "If that makes sense...?" at the end of something perfectly clear and well-explained. A favourite of my step-son and his partner. They either doubt their own ability to string a sentence together, or my ability to comprehend simple concepts.

Another one which is gaining in popularity is "I apologise" when you are not in the least sorry about something you have said/done. That one has probably been mentioned some time ago

I'm wondering how long it will be before people begin to say they were Gifted with Covid.

A sure sign of an incoming banality from a truly vacuous mind.
