A mental asylum disguised as a message board for video games.
The mental health thread has over 1 million views, lmfao. These people. Think how many of them could benefit from this single paragraph, from The Coddling of the American Mind.
The goal is to minimize distorted thinking and see the world more accurately. You start by learning the names of the dozen or so most common cognitive distortions (such as overgeneralizing, discounting positives, and emotional reasoning; see the list at the bottom of this article). Each time you notice yourself falling prey to one of them, you name it, describe the facts of the situation, consider alternative interpretations, and then choose an interpretation of events more in line with those facts. Your emotions follow your new interpretation. In time, this process becomes automatic. When people improve their mental hygiene in this way—when they free themselves from the repetitive irrational thoughts that had previously filled so much of their consciousness—they become less depressed, anxious, and angry.
But nah, these people would rather stay miserable. It's their defining core and they can't even imagine themselves being anything else, so they have to try and make others miserable with their totalitarian nonsense.
