I upvoted this post because I the advice he gave about reading up on cognitive distortions and knowing what they are. This helped me alot, just being able to identify that I was thinking very negative things that were purely a mechanism of my imagination and not reflected in reality.
Being able to see that there are common patterns of such thoughts and identify them and deal with them is very helpful

- teleforce 4y agoTo be honest I'm not sure by reading your comment replies to me and other HN users whether you're biased or distorted. Because when you're engaged in any discussions that are not agreeable to you and was asked to produce some relevant proof or references normally you have failed to do that and instead keep relying on some abstract concepts that you considered as "facts". After that you normally resort to attacking the anonymity of the other users that is clearly unrelated and tangential to the subjects being discussed.
- rramadass 4y agoYour comment is totally irrelevant to this thread and moreover you are engaged in ad hominem attacks which you are advised to layoff. Your petulance simply affirms your intellectual bankruptcy given that i have dismissed your comments in other threads which you seem unable to grasp and come to terms with.
