I don't understand lots of this sort of therapy-speak. Is the suggestion that everyone just loudly insists upon their every whim? Obviously there are extremes of this that cause people to silence and repress serious discomfort that ends up either coming out explosively or slowly eroding one's sense of self-worth, but to some degree this is just living in a society, sweetheart.

    No.

    No buts. That's just it right there.

    Maybe we should improve society somewhat. Also being a condescending dick about other people's difficulties in life isn't cool or helpful or good at all.

    Best to second guess anything that is inviting you to indulge in self-pity I think.

    That's the idea. The "therapy-speak" here is just the term "internalized" which means the shit other people put on you is now being echoed from within your own mind. Don't listen to them! Go do the thing anyway! Courage isn't the absence of fear, it's going forward in the face of it.
