Yeah, my point is exactly that although it is clear at a language level, the terminology shift can be quite important for whether you end up with a thought process that's healthy vs entangled with anxiety. If you don't believe that -- perhaps you haven't dealt with a lot of anxiety in your life?
- dymk 5y agoI've dealt with plenty of anxiety. Talk therapy is great. If somebody's anxiety prevents them from connecting to the article because the author refers to themselves as "a baby" instead of "like a baby", that person may benefit from talk therapy.
- d3ad1ysp0rk 5y agoAs an outsider, I think the conversation went off the rails here when you assumed the OP wasn't "going to connect with the article" based on their comment. This is now the 2nd time w/o reason you're implying that, whereas the OP is talking about general implications of the word choice (on the author and on people in general, not on people's emotional state while reading it).
