Great answer, thank you.

I don't, I'm within the group of privileged people who can pick and choose. I work part-time as of recently and feel alright about my job. I assume the same goes for you?

Would make for a good Terry Pratchett novel.

If you have no dependents, no pre-existing debts to pay, are preferably young, live in a country with a good economy, got enough money or access to a decent social security program, then the internalized worldview might be the main problem.

Not saying this doesn't apply to quite a few people, but there are a lot of others who don't have that luxury.

social anxiety has entered the chat

Let's say we decide that ~~morals~~ what is right and wrong is decided entirely by ourselves. Then it makes perfect sense to defend your own opinions and to disagree with people who disagree with your stance on right and wrong. You chose those morals after all. It's kinda part of the deal that they can't apply to you alone (example: when is it just to kill?)

So I don't see a contradiction.

I guess this post is about Inability to engage with a different set of morals. But assuming that their is an absolute truth for right and wrong wouldn't solve that issue, so I'm not sure why they brought it up.

I don't disagree , but there's still the issue of different natural day-night rhythms. Night owls vs early birds.

Some people will need less discipline and motivation than others to achieve this.

Not to undermine the discipline of anyone who actually makes it happen.

Care to take some of my hours, lol?

I need to sleep 10 hours, every night, otherwise I'm actively depriving myself of sleep. I'm not ill, got confirmed that that's just how it is. A 40 hour work week really wasn't made for this.

If someone gets abducted and put in a stolen house with stolen furniture, are they to blame?

Like, I get it, we enjoy the privileges and share the responsibility to change shit. But responsibility and blame are two different things.

I do that in reverse, lol. Except I'm also not a native speaker. "Rephrase this, it should sound more scientific".

I hear they're pretty good at driving local birds extinct right now. Think about what would happen if they got this much time to hone their craft!

It's terrible advice if you struggle with it.

I however cry quite easily. In hindsight all this "don't suppress your feelings" advice honestly always felt more directed at boys and men.

Learning to turn off and distract yourself from bad feelings is also a skill. I think quite a few people - especially women - struggle with that, me included.
