are you kind to yourself? are you a good friend to your self? do you enjoy your own company?
i stumbled upon this sub by accident, but have this question for you. i guess because my hunch is that you can't be blackpilled without being cruel to yourself. and in reading up on the comments and the posts i felt like many people here are quite cruel to themselves in their actions and beliefs. maybe i am wrong. but i have dealt with self-directed cruelty quite a bit and i have noticed that the less cruel i become to myself the better my life seems to get. so i do understand the instinct to be cruel to yourself, but i think it's an instinct worth resisting. in any case, looking forward to your responses! (this is not as much a debate as it is an attempt at understanding, i am also not found of the adversary method in knowledge production so won't be following it)
edit: thank you so much for engaging with me, i've replied to most if not all comments. and this has been an insightful exercise. also just wanted to share some of the resources that came up in this conversation for reference:
helen longino's science as social knowledge
devon price's laziness does not exist
byung chul han's the burnout society (and a video that explains it)
