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
revolutionaries had/have reason to hope. they had the support of a population. they had an adversary that could effectively be remedied with incredible violence. I can’t murder some capitalists my way out of isolation, burnout, treatment resistant depression, undiagnosed who knows what, and having nothing but slowly dying to look forward to.
personal problems are not at all like societal problems. you’re like the rubes who think a nation-state needs to balance its budget like a household.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck ooooooooofffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Got it, nothing can help you, I’m sorry. Why post here?
protecting other people from bootstraps mentality
, shoe slogans, “tough love”, and “the power of positive thinking” bullshit seems necessary and worthwhile
Maybe its helpful to some people, i got a lot of mileage out of some things especially the last one. I remind you that you dont know me or my life
then you got lucky with some incredibly harmful snakeoil. that doesn’t make it real and it doesn’t make it okay to spread Norman Vincent Peale’s bullshit ideology
