taking sides: self pity vs. self loathing

ironing these things out just makes everything worse imo, best just crack open another beverage and thank your favorite network’s sponsors that you made it through another day

OK well then I was talking about the type of pity-party that is more heavily self-loathing focused. Uh, a Loathing LARP then?

Its not always adaptive to take a hard look at oneself. People prone to self loathing already do that way too much but are still told to take more responsibility for themselves. It’s just a category error here—these sentiments are very different

these are basically opposite sentiments but the latter is constantly being misrecognized as the former.
