Is this real? I searched and can't find it.

The delusion of so many. Instead of striving to be better, they yearn to tear everything down and seek the lowest common denominator.
I think this has manifested in the "just love yourself / be yourself" advice that we give to young people. I've hated the advice for a while because I knew I was fucked up. I even got into an argument with someone who wanted to make me feel better and said that, I responded by saying, "No, you don't understand. What if I'm what needs to change?!!"
Looking back on it now, yeah, I had problems with self-image, but it was also introspection. It seems to me that people fought to avoid introspection. As if having a poor self-image and introspection were one and the same. It got to the point where I had to advocate for the concept of shame itself.
Nihilistic Hedonism: a deadly combination to be spoon-feeding kids.
You nailed a number of critical points I absolutely agree with. Well done.

Well, at least I got there.
I meant it sincerely. I can see now how it read(now edited). I only meant, as I'm likely much older, I too evolved to those same conclusions over time. And that self-introspection IS YUGE in the difference between asshats that continuously fuckup vs. those that evolve and get better.
