Thoughts on Self Help

I would like to state that it is not like I am anti-self help. I am all about bettering yourself, but as one of my closet friends say, "Different strokes for different folks." (Thanks for that, LJ. I kinda borrowed your shit cause it is perfect there. lol) So expand on the very clever and true statement that I borrowed, what I mean to say is that different things work for different people. Me, myself; I would feel pretty dumb looking at myself in the mirror and telling myself how great I am. Firstly, I'd probably tell myself to fuck off, and secondly I just don't feel like that is what works for me.

What does work for me is talking it out. But not just talking it out with just anyone. I have to actually feel connected to that person. That person that I am speaking with needs to understand me; therefore, they will also understand my position, situation, and where I am coming from. They get it, and they will have an enlightened view of the situation or issue. This works from what pants I should wear all the way up to whether or not I should commit homicide cause I didn't get enough coffee that day. (Just kidding, I wouldn't commit homicide. But I would totally smack a bitch.)

Back to explaining that I am not anti-self help. If you are the type of person to read a book that walks you through the steps of life, then so be it. The point of self help is growing and if that is how you grow, congrats. You have found something that works for you.

For those who view the typical self help shit like I do, then welcome. Like minds in one spot. Can't ask for more than that. I do want to give you a slight warning though, if you are looking for real and blunt, then you found it. If your feelings get hurt easily, then you're screwed. Good day to you!
