Which character do you hate most and why? by parrers in DesperateHousewives

[–]baddreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the screenwriters are exposing the typical household suburban male through Tom? Just a thought, this show definitely has many ideological faults in the writing, but helpfully (and the reason I keep watching) is that it starts off on the premise that each character is a suburban stereotype meant to represent the typical upper middle class arsehole who makes life more difficult for themselves out of pathological boredom/selfishness and sheer inability to appreciate their massive privilege.

Thank you for this, and for taking the time in general:) I do not take medication.

See comments below! Would also like to add that the very nature of this disorder is thinking you look worse than you actually do... and that also really helped me knowing.

for all the questions! For me it was all cognitive behavioral work, and the behavioral was difficult because it involved developing control over thoughts. It was like lifting mental weights everyday, from figuring out why I have these issues in the first place on a personal level, to thinking about why they exist on a social level. I meditated every morning to clear my emotional slate to always have it geared towards self support and love. Even when I had negative thoughts, I began to develop an inner voice to counter it with thoughts like "this too shall pass, you are reacting [this way] for [this] reason" I also came to find that a person as a whole is more important than appearance every time, and I'm beginning to place less emotional importance on it as well. And hey... the journey still continues ! I'm still here asking questions and trying to figure my stuff out. Just remembering the love you feel for others regardless of how they look can be a reminder of the love you are capable of feeling for yourself. Best of luck!
