absolute fucking preach man. i've had the exact same thoughts for years now. they give into the incessant competition that engulfs our world like a fucking plague.yet, we're all forced to join, otherwise you're seen as lower value for not giving into egomaniacal desires. i seriously fucking detest this aspect of the world.
to me, all this self-help garbage is nothing but a mere illusion. a facade towards everyone else, in an attempt to not be seen as a garbage human being just because you can't lift x amount of weight ( even if that is completely stupid logic ). it's because the concept of gender roles has embedded itself so deep into our social fabric that it leads to garbage like this - that men should be/look like… and women should look/be like…
i just think it's beyond amusing that we as a society cling onto this perceived ideals that were formed from a completely era of humanity. like sure, men in the past would certainly benefit from having these ideals, but are we living in the past? atp everyone just wants to be an egotistical fuckwit because it seems like your only value as a person is how fuckable you are. it's genuinely so disgusting and tiring that we as a species has let it come to this, that we're nothing more than sex dolls in terms of value.
sorry for the rant. this is just what i think. for context, ive been bullied my whole life for being ugly, so yeah.
