It's the missing missing reasons

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

The first viewpoint, "emotion creates reality," is truth for a great many people. Not a healthy truth, not a truth that promotes good relationships, but a deep, lived truth nonetheless. It's seductive. It means that whatever you're feeling is just and right, that you're never in the wrong unless you feel you're in the wrong. For people whose self-image is so battered and fragile that they can't bear anything but validation, often it feels like the only way they can face the world.

Is it just me, or are more people starting to act like this? Or is it just that these last few years they’ve gotten louder?
