I watched half. When I was a kid teachers constantly threatened us with failure and parents (even friends’ parents) constantly told us to try harder and work harder. My middle school and high school classes turned out pretty good we are all somewhat successful and mostly alive and mostly not needing substance abuse counseling (there’s a few outliers). I work with people ten years younger that were brought up with participation trophies and only kind words and their lives are wreckage fraught with constant substance abuse, megalomania, overdoses, criminal arrests, entitlement attitudes, suicides, divorce and “terminated for cause” unemployment. I get that harsh words can be detrimental, but the flip side can be just as bad. We need to figure out how to stand that coin on edge before our society crumbles.

Oh my fucking hell people! Get over your snowflake emotions and harden up. True we are products of our environment. But, stop blaming others for your fuck ups and suicidal/homicidal actions. Jesus Christ. Know how often my parents yelled at me, told me I was shit and never amount to anything? Know how many times as a child I was emotionally, sexually, physically and mentally abused? You choose your narrative. Until this generation learns this we are all fucked. #nomoresnowflakes

How? How do you ignore the shouts in your head? How you do get really over all that? How do you stop trying so hard to not live by your scars and ending up the day feeling really exhausted? How do yo stop feeling your life is a freaking chase? (excuse me, if i made mistakes, mi writing skills are not too good)

Tune it out. Learn to compartmentalize. Power through. Teach yourself to disconnect from everything and everyone that hurts you. Fill your life up with better things. I played football, fought in jr mma and worked. Busted my ass working and moved out at 17. Bruises are only temporary. Words are only as powerful as we let them. Mental wounds heal. May take time but they do. Pave new memories. If I can do, it anyone can. 34 years old and I've never killed anyone, gone to jail or hurt anyone that didn't deserve it or wasnt sanctioned in a ring or match. Even at 8yo was told I would be in prison having killed my own parents and siblings by the age of 18. Never let someone else control your narrative! Noone else can control how you deal with a situation but you!
