|
Date: September 25th, 2018 1:42 PM Author: Tan mentally impaired point You and others seem to be suggesting that recognizing the presence of imperfections in yourself causes you to hate or dislike yourself.
I am saying that recognizing the presence of imperfections in myself does no such thing, because I know I’m smart, strong, etc., and just makes me tolerant of those imperfections in others.
The whole idea of hating myself seems like a foreign concept. You are the only person you have, why would you hate yourself because you aren’t perfect? |

|
Date: September 25th, 2018 1:49 PM Author: Hateful kitchen gaping the point of the thread is that it's really hard for smart guys with high standards to come to terms with the fact that we will never truly live up to the high standards we set for ourselves and others. being able to forgive ourselves for this is very psychologically and spiritually liberating, in the same way that being "forgiven" by god or a priest is psychologically and spiritually liberating for christian normies. being our own arbiters of morality and value is a burden that intelligent people carry all their lives
idk if your post is some kind of humblebrag that you never went through this or what. but i've never met any smart person who has not gone through this same process, so i have my doubts |

|
Date: September 25th, 2018 1:43 PM Author: poppy generalized bond i can't answer for others but my self hatred came from not feeling like i had a path in my career, not having a kid who i totally adore, not cutting out toxicity in my life from certain people. also i thought i was crazy because i was such a nationalist while everyone around me - growing up and also in my adult life - was a shitlib globalist. i literally doubted my own eyes and my judgment
lastly for a very very long time i didn't feel that i had much of an impact on those around me or that i made a difference. i think my overall sense of self worth has increased because i feel like i have more of a (positive) impact on those around me now |

Date: September 25th, 2018 2:00 PM Author: Tan mentally impaired point Ok, this makes some sense, particularly the kid thing. That seems like the most important factor that could trigger this.
Regarding your second paragraph, I think that’s an odd barometer to use, measuring your self worth by the difference or impact you make on others. I probably don’t make much of a difference but don’t really give a shit. |

That’s not a value judgment, just a statement of fact. With this being the case, why would I care if I made much of a difference in a very insignificant existence overall? It is like fretting that you won’t be able to make enough chess moves in a game that no one is watching, and that will be tossed in the garbage after you die. |

|
Date: September 25th, 2018 2:10 PM Author: Tan mentally impaired point Yes, one could say that the “point” is to be righteous and do great things so that you can experience God and be rewarded in the afterlife.
That’s a bullshit copout since it can’t really be proven one way or the other, while my statement is demonstrably correct. |
|
Date: September 25th, 2018 2:12 PM Author: poppy generalized bond there are people in my life that i care about that are also struggling with things and it makes me feel good to have the compassion, money & insight to be able to help some of them to the extent that i can
that in turn makes me feel better about myself that im the kind of person i want to be. i admire those that help their friends and family and it feels good to aspire to do the same
when i was so stuck in the mud on my own issues it exacerbated the fact that i was not in a position materially or emotionally to be able to help the people i cared about, that i was somewhat of a burden on them instead of a net benefit to them, and that made me feel worse about myself |
|
Date: September 25th, 2018 2:14 PM Author: pungent organic girlfriend pistol i can't relate on family, but cr on friends. we're all in this together, shoulder to shoulder, and there is no better feeling than helping your fellow man.

|
Date: September 25th, 2018 2:18 PM Author: Tan mentally impaired point It’s so hard to distill the points from the emotion.
If you are an adult that is in a position to help your loved ones, but do or cannot due to your issues, then it makes sense to hold yourself in lower esteem because of it.
This does not make sense if you are not yet in this position (for example, a student).
Helping your friends and family is a good trait too. And I agree it is an admirable quality. I just don’t see the connection between this and your poasts, or why it is “normal” to feel this way. The only way it makes any sort of sense is if you are a burden when you should be helping, but surely this is not a common position for many to remain in for long. |

|
Date: September 25th, 2018 2:30 PM Author: Tan mentally impaired point This is a fair point that I personally agree with.
Nevertheless, it is not rational, and is completely unprovable, so I would not assert to others that this is the “point” of life. You can only tell others what we know to be true: your existence won’t amount to shit 50 years after you are gone, so it is irrational to fret if you don’t think you are making enough of a difference now. |

If you can say you've done your best and forgive yourself for your faults, then you should stop posting because you maed it. |
