I get along with some New Age type people and can see where they are coming from, sometimes, but the glib denial of the reality of depression us just something I can't stand
― Treeship, Thursday, 13 June 2013 22:51 (ten years ago) link
Perhaps the worst strain of New Age thought is "you make your own reality and whatever you think is called into being". I well understand the small grain of truth in this aphorism, but it is often applied in a literal-minded and pea-brained way that really sucks. Are you depressed? Just start thinking happier thoughts! Were you raped? You should ask yourself if maybe your thoughts gave off the wrong vibe to the universe and you were, uh, asking for it.
― Aimless, Thursday, 13 June 2013 23:03 (ten years ago) link
Yeah exactly. Really couldn't have said it better. I think a lot of that thinking appeals to peoples' desire to believe they have control over every aspect of their life, including their physical health, and while that's understandable enough it is also immature and leads to callousness toward the suffering of others.

Aimless OTM.
Also anybody who suggests that negative thinking causes cancer sucks and I hate them.
