   > People wondering, why I spend over a decade of my life obsessed with self help content.

   > The same people wondering, how is it possible, that I somehow managed to get through all the trauma with next to no obvious symptoms.

   Gee, I wonder why. And to be honest, my main issue is mainly just how insanely vilified the concept of self help actually is. Whenever I hear it mentioned, it is either "They are all trying to scam you out of all your money", or worse "muh alpha men".

   I don't get it. Why is it so wrong, that "12 rules for life is only repeating the most common sense topics" when noone is actually living up to them? The point is to make you question aspects of your life, and inspect if you can fix them. Yet, so many people get triggered to rage from the suggestion.

     @LukeAlmighty self help is cool when you find something that actually works so that you can go on the right path. The greatest self help books are the Bible and other philosophical books, so I suggest doing that if you don't want to get grifted.

     @MK2boogaloo
     Thank you for wasting my time with that post.

     Yes, I did hear the good news of Jesus Christ ressurection.

     No, Pointing at a tree, telling me it's a proof of god's existence didn't change my mind.

     Yes, the 34th recomendation of the Bible this year was truly important for me to know the book exists.

     @LukeAlmighty @bonifartius a lot of it is super useful shit that has helped me a lot. A lot of it is scammy bullshit. I expect whichever kind you encounter first sets the tone.

     @Sophistifunk @bonifartius
     Yeah, I know exactly who you mean, because I spent a lot of time listening to the scammers too.

     But, I didn't throw money at them. I am not retarded. Instead, I watched their videos, since the videos were literally the same self help concepts that I actually needed well summerized.... and then the idiot bait at the end.

     When someone explains to you budgeting, fixed vs variable expenses etc, does it really matter to you, that there is an idiot bait at the end?

     @LukeAlmighty because self help involves thinking for yourself, not blindly trusting authorities. not doing this questions their world.

     @LukeAlmighty >not checking your own habits and routines and assessing their impact on you as a matter of course
     I dunno, just seems like a skill issue to me.
     But if you do have such a skill issue, it's better to read a book that helps fix it than to not.
