im so so so happy posts saying “stop self deprecating its harmful” are going around. i also want people to understand that changing those harmful jokes to jokes about how cool and hot you are will not only make you happier but people will like you more
like genuinely the average person doesnt really want to hear about how insecure you are and its really fucking awkward, especially when you’re strangers. presenting yourself as confident will make people trust and like you easier.
its also so easy to switch what you’re saying. like for me it started as ironically saying “im so smart” when i mess up words or something. its not giving yourself a pep talk, it’s just putting a positive spin on the situation you’re in.
im just upset seeing the people who really need these posts not understand them or how important the message really is. its AMAZING advice that changed my life significantly and i want more people to experience that. you’re great and you’re worthy of so much love and i mean that.
if people around you encourage those sorts of jokes because they’re relatable you should most likely reevaluate who you spend time with
if you feel like going in my qrts or replies missing the entire point of this: i dont wanna see it. thank you!
this is literally the basis of cognitive behavior therapy and has backings in science but if you want to keep being negative im not going to stop you, we’re strangers and im not going to break my back to correct you. its just friendly advice, take it or leave it.
anyways this is super muted but y’all gassing yourselves up in the replies + sharing experiences with this are sooooo fucking cool i hope y’all have a great day! people who feel the need to still talk down on themselves for a joke, thanks for spreading
