As much as we talk about mental health, I feel like we’re also perpetuating this culture of anti-forgiveness that is so against the idea that people can change, that it’s actually detrimental to mental health because the reality is, everybody makes mistakes, and a lot of people make big mistakes, but that doesn’t mean that they’re always bad people. I think we’re really damaging people’s mental health with this idea that people can’t reform. Just because you make a mistake, even if it’s a big one, does not mean that there’s anything inherently wrong with you and that you can’t do better, and we should stop perpetuating that idea. Anyway, that’s my two cents.
Oh my god please tell me this is a joke. People perceiving my bpd as manipulation has torn my life apart and I just lost the love of my life to it. This disorder ruins my life. It took him away from me. And I’m so fucking tired of it.
I really don’t understand why so many borderlines are so afraid of unintentionally being manipulative.
I kinda feel bad for laughing at this..
I would like to add a name. I propose Vincent.
As someone who has taken college courses on colonialism, can I just say that the idea that colonized groups or groups that were forced into slavery lived in these perfect societies where no one was discriminated against and everyone was happy until the white man came is literally based on racism. Like, it’s LITERALLY the myth of the noble savage. It’s the same concept that led to things like the Disney version of Pocahontas and other offensive misrepresentations of Native Americans and Africans across popular culture. It’s an incredibly harmful stereotype. No race, ethnicity, or group of people was ever perfect. No one had the answers. No one had everything figured out. Colonialism was BAD, but it wasn’t bad because it ruined paradise. It was bad because it killed and hurt people, destroyed culture, and had harmful impacts for generations to come. So can we stop pushing racist stereotypes as some “woke” ideology, please? Thank you.
