Not sure who needs to hear this, but...

It wasn't your fault.

You're a good person regardless of what happened to you, despite what your inner demons tell you.

You didn't deserve the abuse you went through.

Your hurt is valid.

I hope your pain eases soon, sweetheart. You've made it so far. Just keep going. It will fade, if you stop revisiting it and punishing yourself. You've got this. I believe in you so much.

Much love, friend.

@Bwee this is an insanely bad advice in so many cases and this is so much more nuanced than that

@xyla I am just one person on the internet doing their best to make others feel better. You can write your own post if you want, I won't stop you!

@Bwee re: https://meow.social/@Bwee/116278828207966984

oh the absolute nerve to subpost this publicly

the problem is that an approach like this tends to make people feel like they've never done anything wrong, and thus, inhibit healthy self-improvement (therefore, making this advice dangerous)

this is not a personal attack and telling me to "just make my own post" is silly (i've been encouraging others (and myself) to improve and feel at ease with their past for *years*; i can assure you i made my own posts)

Be careful, as according to one person in the replies this is bad advice. If it doesn't work for you, it doesn't, and I'm sorry. I'm doing my best.

@xyla @Bwee You're missing the point that this was meant to be directed at people who are hurting and need to hear it, not a blanket statement that applies to everybody in every single situation.

Just because you don't personally agree with it doesn't mean it's "bad" advice.

@owashe @Bwee people who are hurting can be approached in ways that will not accidentally (to some extent) inhibit self-improvement (which, sorry not sorry, is the only way for the hurt to stop)

fedi has been doing this thing consistently almost forever and i'm lowkey baffled by the fact that we're having this conversation in anno domini 2026
