Oddbean new post about login | logout Some people truly are great people dealing with a lot of trauma and they soothe with eating. At the same time, no one gave me love when I was fat. I only got shamed and bullied.
Lifting weights is the best medicine for trauma and depression
I think everybody deals with trauma in a different way.
Fair enough Let’s eat garbage and make your mind even more toxic
Personally I think you’re responsible for your own actions, health etc. so you can what you want. However I do dislike the victimization. Blaming other people will not help you change things.
Agree on that 💯
I totally agree. At the same time, many of the people I work with are in really bad places. I look at them and I think about my mom as a little girl who was beaten, fed one sandwich once a week, forced to do hard labor while her siblings went to school, she escaped that shit. She was a horrible mom to me, but she's still this damaged little girl who didn't deserve what she was given. People do need to work hard and improve themselves, and people need to be loved as well.
