All my therapists keep saying getting weird about obsessing over all my failures isn't healthy, though...

The guru specified that the weird thing gives you pleasure. It is pleasurable to obsess over your failures?

Don't kink shame

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I keep doing it so clearly it must be.

Unfortunately, obsessing over things often doesn't have to do with pleasure.

As far as I know, cause nothing else is bringing me any kind of happiness. So It must be, right?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not necessarily. A lot of obsessive behaviors aren't pleasurable, actually.

psst, its a joke, kind of like the comic

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Nah, I think the comic's pretty legit.

The comic is a joke wrapped around a fundamentally good point. Your joke is poorly wrapped around a bad point.
