Now that I’ve caught you with the clickbait title,

Basically every post has included some form of toxic self-hate, minus one or two mentioning exercise. While I do like being able to confront these in the first place, the purported goals and name of this community gives people who are giving the exact wrong advice far too much credibility, and the last thing these people need is a comment with the most upbears regurgitating individualistic self-help concepts at them.

If we’re going to keep this sort of community around, I suggest doing some serious research and basing it off of DBT, and integrating serious critiques of CBT style mental healthcare and improvement.

I am just some random nerd who is terrible at self-improvement at general, so I understand taking this with some serious doubt. But I just had to get this off my chest.

Thank you, WithoutFurtherBelay

    The United States is right there and they’re probably actually, unironically to blame for everything wrong with you

    Due to constant US meddling, I have gained weight and lost the will to go to the gym, but through jihad etc etc

    (I ran out of steam for this joke, please do not take seriously)

      My isolated uncultured American shithole had made me illiterate in music but through my single-mokey protracted mokeys war against music illiteracy i will overcome and bring prosperity to the region

        Yes unironically I think this is a good mindset. It’s not your fault whatsoever that you’re in this situation but you can still do things to make it better, hopefully.
