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
If were doing a struggle session on how this comm will look and work, I see some of you confusing your doomerism/self-hatred/personal failings for criticism of doing good things for yourself and neoliberal ideology.
Also its not one or the other thing, both criticizing self-improvement quackery and pushing yourself to do better in your own paradigm are valid
We as leftists and we as a community strive for the later earnestly
