Cookie Thread Act 3: The Cookie Strikes Back

#15601

I used to care a lot about solving others peoples problems and take it personal, the onus was on me to fix everything. Obviously i (and mostly everyone) are powerless to fix people, at least strangers. At most you can give them temporary comfort, maybe some sane words of advise. Its wrong to think “I can fix him/her/it/them/xem/zem”. U will try, you wont achieve it, you will grow frustrated with yourself, and may grow resentment for the person too for not improving.

Recent example is i had an acquitance with sociopathy disorder, 26 year old. A 20 year old kid, another acquitance, took it personally to fix their problems. The former mentioned having only one friend during a public drama dispute, not being the kid. The kid was angry that he spent time helping that person to not be acknowledged as a friend. He lashed out at the other person. Multiple people lashed out at the person. I warned them that that would happen. Unrealistic expectations. Popular media gives the impression that you can save everyone, most stories are heroic

i mean at this point i think most media (or at least social media) sends the message that “i can fix them” is an incredibly unhealthy mindset that will most likely lead to them making you worse

Like you guys brought up an excellent point when the person I’m referring to literally compared Y to a dog who can easily be controlled during a game

#15607

That may be a byproduct of me spending a lot of time getting the people I’m working with to scheme and put their cards on the table

#15608

been through this a lot too
it’s also very mentally draining to try to help people who wont help themselves over a very long period of time

I believe you had the desire to be happy and wholesome from within yourself. I dont have the power to put that in people. You only have yourself to thank for loving yourself and giving yourself a chance
