something my life has taught me, both through my own struggles & through observation of most people around me, is that disruptive or controlling emotional reactions in response to criticism/inability to “hear” criticism accurately does NOT come from too high self esteem or lack of adversity (1/?)
yeah this is a poison thing to put out into the world at large where anyone can see it. also, my experience has been that being meaner to myself mostly doesn’t result in my being a better person, just a more scared person who’s more likely to snap at other people
I just wanna say as a dude Going Through Some Shit right now this is an incredibly irresponsible thing to post that makes me feel even shittier than I already do. Feeds into every scrap of self loathing I carry with me and functionally is indifferentiable from the worst voices in my own head.
