A discussion on coping mechanisms and manipulation
Post Body

A friend shared this post by Tumblr user THATDIABOLICALFEMINIST on Facebook. (The text of the post is in the comments).

There were a few thoughts I had while reading this.

One was that I do believe I've had these thoughts myself, especially when I was in my teens and with horribly low self esteem. I didn't have the ability to understand nuance in criticism, though unlike these examples I just turned the hate on myself.

The other is that I've experienced this from the other end not as a coping mechanism but as a manipulative tactic. (I also think it's common on many of the justno subs). I'd say more but I don't want to remember those people.

Thoughts?
