I havent been on Reddit in a while. I reduced drastically the amount of Reddit related content I watch, and gotta say, they helped me a lot a while back to recognize unacceptable behavior, and showing it to my bf was important in his development to recognize how abusive his mom was and taking steps to go leave her and go NC.
But when I listen to it now, it of just, obnoxious most of the time. Someone else feels this way?
It’s only loosely related, but the one thing I especially hate when it comes to amateur therapizing is weaponized pseudo-psychological concern trolling, usually presented as “WHO HURT YOU?”
or sending suicide prevention hotlines to people they dislike or otherwise passive-aggressively implying the other person is mentally ill (which is framed as the person being intrinsically bad) and that there’s help for them, little buddy!
