Who the hell does this Solomon guy think he is calling me out like this.

Best advice I've ever given and not taken was:

LAWYER UP, HIT THE GYM, DELETE FACEBOOK.

"My life is a mess right now and I compulsively take care of other people when I don’t know how to take care of myself." -Princess Carolyn

is there a name for the reverse of this? like making a change for yourself that works great for your needs, but then assuming that others just need to do the same thing?

You should be in bed, it's midnight

Me? I've just started a movie

me for relationship advice in highschool

Guys this was me playing bowling the other day with my buddy every time I instructed him how to throw the ball he got a strike but otherwise... GUTTER BALL! But then I gutter balled when I went... just thought I'd mention that

Yeah, I suck at bowling

This is the guy who recommends cutting babies in half?

telling advice is just yapping. applying advice takes effort.

I know this is a shit post, but I have wrestled with hypocrisy or more specifically saying one thing but doing something else for a long time. Think of a murderer saying that murder is wrong.

I think I am comfortable now saying that hypocrisy doesn't discredit a true statement, even if the person who is saying it may be considered disingenuous.

We often have better perspective regarding other people's troubles than we do our own.

We're also often still wrong about it, anyway.

do as I say not as I do

It's called self-actualization when you can give yourself the same advice. MDon't let the term allow you to believe it's more than a resting place of awareness.

How to use “Solomon’s paradox” to give yourself good life advice

Being too close to a problem makes it hard to analyze without an outsider's perspective. If I don't have an outsider nearby or within friendnapping distance, I use the Rubber Ducky Debugging technique.

Stuck? Ask a Rubber Duck!

Practicing self-compassion makes it less awkward to treat yourself as amazingly as you treat those around you.

Isn't this just the basic difference between knowing and doing?

Sometimes I make a conscious effort to think about what I would say to someone else in my situation. It's helpful.

Because sometimes it is easy to give reasonable advice to someone because it is easier to look at a situation from detached view and thus no emotion involved. But apply the same advice to yourself, and emotions could come running.

Oh I just met a guy not more than 10 minutes ago who openly admitted to injesting the horse version of ivermectin to help with his stomach cancer. his doctor won't prescribe the human version. So he has to go to a vet. Lmao well hopefully one less trump voter come November

I feel attacked

I've had 2 data loss near misses last year. Still haven't set up automatic back ups.

Reminded me of this song.
