What's the point of going viral if no one gifts you a checkmark?😮‍💨

[aether @bluewdrift]

my therapist changed my life when he taught me there are 4 types of conversation:

1) small talk (weather, etc)
2) swapping (you tell a story, I tell a story)
3) listening (you tell a story, I listen/validate)
4) problem-solving (you tell me a story, I help solve the problem)

@SmurfItUpShow @DrDBeech No, I think it's different because it's usually a once a month check in about how everything is working together (therapy+ meds+lifestyle) so it's not the same intensity or intimacy as reliving specific trauma or challenging irrational beliefs.

[MrsLaVal @MRSLAVAL]

Replies on this are terrifying. The number of people that think it's normal for therapists to talk about themselves. 🤦🏼‍♀️ What's happening to this industry.

@alyssa_fountain @jewstein3000 @phlox_clamantis @AlcantudAl @madnomanattic @ThisChickenDGAF Respectfully, I was parentified, triangulated in my parents marriage, there was emotional incest, and yeah, any whiff of poor boundaries is retraumatizing. I had 5 years of therapy at my therapist's home office and never had any of this. Not even small talk. It's unprofessional.

It's not like gravity. Economics is entirely about what people think because value is subjective. Cost is objective but value will never be objective. Demand is rarely rational, by its nature.

[Marshall Taplits @mtaplits]

@tetrarosie I have never met anyone on the left that didn’t start their thoughts on economics with what they feel is fair. Of course, economics doesn’t care what you think. It only cares about supply and demand. And demand is unlimited if the price is free, and decreases as the cost goes up.

[People Over Profit @urpersonalgulag]

Supply and demand is a mechanism, not a law of nature. It operates within a system of property relations, power structures, and historical context. Who controls supply? Who sets the price? Who has the power to demand? These are political questions, not natural ones.

The billionaire class does not "earn" its wealth. It appropriates the surplus value created by the working class. Socialism means that the people who do the work should own the fruits of that work.
Why are we letting freeloading assholes steal the wealth we’ve created?

[🪽 @toadflax738]

The cost of poverty is way higher, dollar for dollar, than assuring the welfare of people who can't, don't or won't function under capitalism. It costs everyone more to allow people to suffer when they can't be coerced to labor for survival.

[Kev @biff_kev]

What do yall think are the most compelling arguments for socialism? (Economic, moral etc.)

Why Does He Do That is all about this:

Abusers are people with a distorted worldview centered on making rational game-theory decisions on who is powerless enough to let you bully them into giving you benefits without leaving. It is not an anger management problem.

@tubby_d_93 I'm successful in that I'm doing The Thing I came here to do and I'm satisfied with it. I am not successful by cultural standards.❤️

[🪽 @toadflax738]

Ask yourself two questions: do I really want more or am I ashamed to be content in a culture addicted to striving, and have there been people in my life, especially childhood, who were threatened by my success and/or happiness. Both feel like a brick wall.

[Kyle Kushblasta @SkinnyTuna]

what is the solution to just being too avoidant to ever do any of the things that would improve your life materially. it doesn’t even feel like depression it feels like there’s a brick wall

[🪽 @toadflax738]

@jeanpaulblartre Admitting to yourself that you need some luck, some help, some mercy can help it appear. It's that whole "when you're down to nothing, God is up to something" deal, when you finally stop trying something breaks loose or someone steps in.

[🪽 @toadflax738]

@jeanpaulblartre I'm sorry, I've been there. Sometimes shame feels like a brick wall. We're raised to believe that we're fully responsible when material conditions are not okay. But that's not true. Remembering that we don't operate in a vacuum can help things move in the right direction.
