Self-compassion is valuable for its own sake and can relieve a lot of your own suffering, but it also makes it easier to be compassionate toward others and vice versa.

🙏 Giving from the heart emphasizes that true generosity comes from within one's self. ❤️ Therefore the act of giving creates a place of love and compassion. ☮️

Many trauma survivors who value high achievement-- including me-- struggle w/ self-compassion because it feels like "making excuses" or "letting ourselves off the hook." But what if self-compassion actually represents a higher, tougher standard than our default?

Calling a Black autistic woman “lazy” does damage you can’t always see. It chips away at self-worth and reinforces isolation. Try asking why she’s tired, withdrawn, or overwhelmed. Compassion heals more than criticism ever will. 💜

Between this piece, L'Affaire du Platner and a recent tough but good exchange with a friend, I am thinking a lot about self-forgiveness, self-visualization, and self-actualization, particularly for men who sense that something is wrong with or missing from their lives.
It is probably "compassion."

There’s no question that we’re living — and looking for love — in contentious times, where extreme political ideologies have all but divided parts of the dating pool. Or have they?

The thing is everyone feels this, many who have never known what it is to be the default. Men's choice to have no curiosity of or compassion for others is self-sabotaging. But instead of seeing that, they invent grievance. Because everyone is a supporting character to them
This is exactly why I made my YouTube video reaching out to men—it's beyond my capacity to help the ones quoted in this article but there are many more who haven't fully fallen into the pipeline yet, and they need understanding AND accurate political context for their pain:

Happy book release day to my dear friend Kelly Foster Lundquist! Her new book, Beard, is an impossibly beautiful memoir, full of humor, food, pop culture references, and so much compassion for her ex-husband and her past self. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

The fact that you’ve carried this for so long, questioning yourself and still trying to make sense of it, shows strength, not deceit. Self-blame and shame often take root where compassion should be.
Take care of yourself, as and when you can and go gently

We don't choose our nation, our physical bodies or the times we live in. We choose how we'll be remembered by history--passive and self-serving, aggressive and full of hate or dedicated and courageous.

I think this is what my internship and clinical experience has taught me like what I’m calling “selfishness” is literally just self-compassion, self-care and self-interest like wait a damn minute, maybe I just don’t want to be exploited by the system bc of my desire to help. Yeah THATS definitely it

...projecting their political views threw this character. General Hospital constantly paints a self reflection of the toxicity plaguing our society; lack of empathy, no compassion, gaslighting, revering and rewarding white mediocrity, opposition to accountability....

reading my own words made me realize there was one person here who upset two of my closest friends and didn’t apologise or made an attempt at self-reflection
smacking the block is good, do not upset my friends for a bit, act with empathy and compassion instead, not your “autism” and being Bad

Many people in politics or who rise high in the world seem different from most of us—they do not appear to have a strong sense of moral responsibility, or a high levels of compassion or concern. They tend to be disloyal and self-interested. Sometimes high ability to detach and compartmentalize.

ADHD & stress can feed each other—but self-compassion breaks the cycle. When you pause, breathe, and show yourself kindness, you build resilience, not weakness.

The people who are already barely surviving are going to be severely impacted by this selfish, self-centered evil regime.
I hope communities will help each other and give to food banks. Cook a meal for a family. Show this horrific govt there is still compassion.

Self compassion is really hard sometimes. Try to give yourself just 5 minutes where you're not tearing yourself down.

What if we did, as a wonderful Stop SIM activist once suggested, treat young people who self harm as if they needed what a non self harming distressed kid needed: compassion, treatment, respect, dignity?

The process of moving houses has made me realize how frequently I keep shortchanging myself on acknowledging my efforts.
Instead of "I did enough today", the default is "I could've done more" which is a mindset that is unsustainable. Reflection: Self-compassion is a skill I hope to practice more.
