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

    Welp it looks like we have run into the dialectical paradox of needing to practice self-acceptance in order to change our lives. A real DBT both/and moment.

      It’s actually quite simple berdly-smug if you perceive everything bad about you as part of a dialectical network of cause and effect, rather than solely your fault, then you do not have to “admit” or believe in your own inferiority in order to enact change
