There is a book called “Tiny Habits” by BJ Fogg. He invented most of the techniques companies like Meta use to manipulate you and me.
In the book, he explains how to use the same techniques to control your own behavior.
I personally am in much better physical and mental state since I read it.
You cannot beat yourself up until you improve. It does not work. It is a myth.
I can't focus enough to read a book and of I try hard enough I fall asleep after page two. Guess it's not for me.
Fuck off, you think you know me ? You would have not made it having been through half of my life. I keep fighting in hopes that things get better and KNOW my shortcomings. If you think I haven't tried reading books you are way off track. I have had a huge collection of books and LOVED reading but the fact is it takes me over a year to read a normal book as I fall asleep after two pages and have to reread every line multiple times and of course I don't remember the line I just read but you think that everyone is the way you are and assume. I guess you think I'm a lazy fuck who never tries anything to get better do you ? Fuck off and goodbye!
Everything about you screams main character syndrome.
Yeah, that's fair. What did I say which was incorrect, though?
You're equating reading to writing, which are distinct enough skill sets that they deserve separate conversations. I think this is less a matter of willpower and more about actual capability.
LMAO okay, yes reading and writing are two separate skills. You got me there.
You never intended to speak to me in honest. I see that now. I'm cutting out.
The irony of not being able to read who you're responding to is palpable.
Lol, yeah. That was my bad.
The only possible reason you'd be this triggered by a stranger is that you see yourself in them and you don't like what you see, so I recommend you start by taking your own advice.
That's very fair! And you aren't entirely wrong. I'll try to learn something from this, but I think the best way to learn is by challenging.
