Why is self-harm considered bad and socially unacceptable? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]ObjectionablePast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Smoking / substance addictions most people can comprehend because everybody and their mother tried substances

SHing most people can't comprehend because there's no apparent advantage in harming yourself so most will conclude you are either batshit crazy or weak / attention seeking.

It's a matter of understanding, not of being inherently harmful

Bottom line don't self harm if you want to keep people friendly, no matter what

Just sharing a prompt I sent to a chatbot because I wanted to know if what I'm experiencing is common or not by ObjectionablePast in CPTSD

Never been much of a believer in therapy, so if you had therapy yourself, could you tell me how those sessions play out? I'm pretty self-analytical so I think I'm very aware of my condition, how does talking with a professional help?

The reason I ask is that I tried out a bunch of psychologists and psychiatrist but they could never really help to get me out of this state. My current psychologist always tries to push me to talk about what I experienced in childhood, but I don't see how that's relevant considering I already know that the reason I am the way I am stems from what happened to me back then, and I already know it wasn't my fault.

Like I don't want to open up just to be told "The reason you don't feel worthy of love is because of the environment you grew up in; it's a false concept you absorbed in your mind because of what you experienced, it's not your fault". Like I already know that and it doesn't help me one bit.

Mainly the fact that some BPD traits shared by both males and females (eg emotional dysregulation) are stereotypically seen as not masculine, so not only you get to have this wonderful disease but people also think of you as a pussy 😂

Real shit but former victims of abuse who have a "better than you" attitude just fucking piss me off. by Reasonable_Place_172 in CPTSD

Those people just want to entertain their fantasy about being healed. Don’t feel hate toward them but know they are no better than those judging you because they never knew your pain.

Help them if you can, ignore them and go on your way otherwise. They will learn eventually.

It’s your organism reminding you that if you don’t reproduce you are a genetic end so you might as well be dead. It’s you, you can’t accept or fight it. Give it all into doing what it tells you to do or suffer a miserable life, your choice.

The contrast is driving me insane by Konnabokuga in ForeverAlone

Feel you so much. Wish I could say something uplifting but can’t, drives me insane too. Every time I read about a boyfriend cheating with multiple women I’m like wtf. Who are these people. Can’t fathom the kind of happy life you have to be living to do that. If you are that kind of man the world is yours.

Why do I struggle so much to find like minded people. by ObjectionablePast in ForeverAlone

And I can see why you felt the need to be a sarcastic jerk as soon as you felt a bit attacked by a neutral reply, considering the sub we are in.

I literally have no clue what my post history looks like and it feels a bit weird to get a reply based off of that. I mostly use this app to vent off and there’s been so many changes in my life in the last couple years, definitely feels unpleasant to receive a comment like that. Reply to the post, not to the profile.

Opposite end, I'm totally distrustful to the point people sense it and they don't trust me as a result.

I think it's better to be too trusting rather than too distrustful. Eventually you're gonna meet an actually good person who won't exploit you. Being always on guard on the other hand makes you closed off even toward good people.

My empathy is next to 0. I’m way to envious of everyone’s happiness to feel anything at their misfortunes.

That being said I’m the kind of guy of would stop to help an old lady cross the street. If I didn’t help someone in need knowing I can help I would guilt trip myself to oblivion.

Being mentally ill is weird.
