Reminder + seeking advice!

Hey, I've seen some of your posts, and I want to say you've helped me have a lot more compassion for myself. I've been through a lot of the same things, and I've been going through a tough time recently, so you've helped. I don't have much advice apart from the fact that you don't have to have an opinion on everything; it's a lot of mental energy, and in the end, you don't get anything out of it.

hope ur doing well too, i get how u feel lol i get that way too sometimes

Hi! I used to struggle so much with self confidence, but as I've gotten older I've learned a few things. First of all, remember that all the other people in the comments are people just like you. They're not less susceptible to bias, group thinking, fallacies, assumptions, projection, etc. than you. You have every right to question them just like you question yourself. Understand that on social media and in real life, there's selection bias for whose comments you're seeing or hearing. There are usually a lot more diverse opinions than what you see in the comments. A lot of times people disagree with the majority opinion but they'll never comment because they don't like to fight on social media. Sometimes the kinds of people who would disagree with what most people say just don't follow that account or aren't on social media at all. In real life, disagreeing with everyone else has potential to cause conflict, which most people find awkward or scary, so they just don't speak up. So when you think about the "right" opinion, you're talking about a concensus that 1. Is fallible and 2. Doesn't even really exist! The only way is to trust yourself and your judgment. You're just as smart as any of these other people!
