Modern Self-Improvement is Trash

[@MrTaker_]

Self improvement will only ever destroy your life if you don’t actually improve. Obsessing over your goals and being ambitious is great, but if you’re lazy, you’re ultimately not going to achieve these goals. The worst life you can life is a life full of ambitious while being lazy. You’re not blissfully ignorant and unaware to your actions anymore so you know the consequences of living a lazy life. You look at it from a room temperature iq perspective and realize that your life has gotten worse from self improvement. It’s only gotten worse because you’re now simply aware of the dangerous path you’re on, but you don’t know that. Or perhaps you do, but either way, you now use this as an excuse, blaming it on “modern day self improvement” rather than your own inability to improve.

It's not about being ambitious, but lazy. Have you even watched the video? I'm talking about the ego, which is a completely different thing. Improving yourself is a good thing. But do you improve yourself by being an egoist? The message of that video is to make you understand that you should always strive to become the best version of yourself, not the richest one. But thank you brother for your comment:D

@ I hope you’re here to be genuinely authentic and do what you think is good for your viewers. But either way, when you go to the extent of saying the recent self improvement influencers are bad and are bringing you onto a bad path, if what you’re saying is true, which is what the viewer presumably believes, you’re contradicting their advice and self improvement tactics which ultimately will lead people to believe the previous good habits they’ve been doing aren’t actually good for them. The general idea someone gets when they watch this video is not “let me think about this guys advice and try to implement it to see if I get better results”, it’s “wow all these self improvement influencers suck, I’m not gonna listen to them for advice anymore”. Take that as you want, but I don’t believe that’s a good thing to be promoting. I’ve brung up the combination of ambition and laziness as an example of why this version of self improvement which you say doesn’t work, may not work for someone. I don’t need to explain further what I wrote in the previous comment, but And I don’t think having an ego is a bad thing. Having an ego is based on how much you value yourself and your importance, and you can look up the definition of you want. I think the word you’re looking for instead is arrogance. Arrogance is when you have this ego and high self importance and because of that you devalue other people or their opinions. You can argue whether or not these self improvement influencers are arrogant but I don’t really care too much because that’s really just down to opinions. I get the messaging behind becoming the best version of yourself rather than the richest one, but ultimately by becoming the best version of yourself, you’re going to be massively successful in some endeavor, and a lot of the time the best version of yourself is also the richest version of yourself. I’m not saying that specifically means you should just only focus on money, but becoming the best version of yourself is often going to mean you’re extraordinarily wealthy, and it’s very difficult to truly say you’re at your best if you haven’t achieved a high level of success and freedom. Overall, this specific message is correct but the way it is framed is as if striving for money and success is a bad thing and most viewers aren’t gonna break this down to try and get the true meaning behind your statement and rather just take it at face value.

@ It’s not really that I dislike most of your advice, but that the way you go about it seems unauthentic. I think you can help people with your advice bro, but this is not the right way to do it. You’re trying to take down others to make yourself seem as if you’re better than these other guys and the audience should only listen to you. You will not get an actual audience from that. Sure the drama brings in some attention, but in the long run you’re just riding a hate train and the only people who watch are just here for the drama. I think you should instead just focus on what you can do specifically to help your viewers.

@@iwantheapostle to delete the knowledge of using social media and the internet, there are books and other people from whom I can get the applicable and necessary knowledge from. Wish it becomes real, if it does, I don't know what else to do then XD.

[@MrTaker_]

What exactly have you been looking for? An excuse to leave the self improvement grind? Is that it? You quit? You’ll go back to living your average life? What mistake did you make? Improving yourself and putting yourself through pain, discomfort, and delayed gratification to ultimately better your life? This is what you’re worried about? This is what’s ruining your life? Brother. Listen to yourself speak. This man does not care about you. He’s just lead you off the path of self improvement. Don’t let him do that to you bro.

[@iwantheapostle]

I don't remember discouraging anyone to improve. I only remember discouraging people to live like egoists.
