I just ignore him until he decides he's done being an edgy newfag
Gay ops are gay
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting
Redemption arcs are fine, it doesn't need to be this elaborate though lol
There have been bitter arguments on here before between people thst are now friends
im an edgy shitposter
Good for you.
Stunning and brave
a friend of mine when talking about her daughter on facebook posted this.
"Every day I ask her "Are you pretty? Are you smart? Are you kind?", which she responds yes to each"
It's no wonder kids are so narcissistic.
Eh. Sounds more like the mother has zero confidence and is trying to make sure that her kid isn't as timid
Raising children is incredibly hard, cut some slack
🤷
she's not timid
yeah no that just sounds like overbearing parenting
Praising your kids for something they did well = good
Praising your kids for the sake of praising them, every single day = too much
mine was on the other end, no praise ever
I think it's imporant to reinforce the good things
Your kid gets an A? Scores a goal for his team? Plays a particularly difficult song? Good shit
yeah aim for competence not confidence
Both are important but confidence is different from narcissism
And it usually comes naturally out of competence so you are right
I.e. hubris
basically
A word that has sadly fallen out of use.
and unfortunately my friend is setting her kid up for hubris in a big way
Yeah sounds like it.
Much better would be at the *end* of the day: did you do something smart? Did you do something kind?
a shame because I like my friend despite being rather lefty she's never blocked me never ignored me, I can challenge her on stuff from time to time and not have her completely sperg out
yeah that would be better
Female culture nowadays seems like it's all about *unconditional* positive self-regard which is so masturbatory
Rah rah girls are great
Even when they are acting like shitheads
And boys suck even when they are trying their best
the comments were much the same "I'm going to tell my kids the same" and "we need to tell our girls this more often" that kind of shit
So counterproductive
Focus on actions and results
