Yes, I would say they’re definitely is a certain level of commitment necessary. You have to actually be willing to take the advice given and be open with how you’re feeling and how your
processing things, stuff like that. It’s definitely not for everyone and I don’t think it can help everyone, but for the people that it CAN help it can be super useful
I think that's it, I just don't believe in therapy. maybe it's my upbringing but I was taught to just suck it up. It would be wasted on me not for lack of trying but for lack of my own effort.
I can attest to this. However, I must ask: what does one mean when they say "I don't believe in therapy"? That it doesn't work, or that the way in which it is done is icky and yucky and you
don't like it therefore you don't commit...?
I know that mocking clankers is funny and all, but using artificial intelligence could help you. It is not human, the models are increasingly better (they are not as sycophantic as GPT 4o was, for instance), and with the appropriate guardrails and tips you could ensure you don't lose your mind (which happens to about 5% of users anyway, so it's not like
a big risk).
Moralizing is for losers. What you deserve is what you get.
And yet, you are struggling with an exhausting example of Eastern Asian stereotype. Do you think you deserve it?
bit of an exaggeration but less so, we've all stolen things/jaywalked/sped in cars, etc etc even though its wrong.
I remember one time I stole the batteries off a TV remote. I literally told my mates: "I think I'm going to steal these batteries.," to which one of them replied, "Why?"; "I just want to steal them to see what it feels like."
And, guess what. I got caught right before checking out of the hotel: it does seem like they check the TV remotes. Huh.
But I didn't feel particularly... remorseful. I stated my intentions, batteries are replaceable and cheap; the intentions mattered more than the economic value, really. And yet, nobody really cared: some got mad, but that didn't last long. Others laughed; everything was forgotten in less than a week.
Does this count as nigger behavior? Maybe. It's up to you to decide.
You don't. Why are you even asking other people to think for you? You're just asking for your mind to be colonized lmao
I agree with this. This whole "b-but why?" bit is becoming circular in nature: asking the same thing over and over again will likely not result in a richer, more thorough response but will be met with increasing annoyance instead.
I would also like to point out that victims, in general, are deemed as annoying. Regardless of how true their victim status is, the descendants of colonialism victims one can't care about forever, just like how we can't care about the grandchildren of the supposed victims of holocaust. At some point you've just got to... you know, forget it.
Is that fair? I don't know, I'm not God. Ask Him!
