I grew up in conditions you would never countenance and I’m incredibly well adjusted. What value are your systems when they lead to your trauma. You are constantly traumatized and I am not, despite facing conditions you could not believe.
Either I am inherently an übermensch or my methods are better. You have your loneliness epidemics, your PTSD, and your therapy. I don’t.
Or to put it evocatively:
This would be an excellent rebuttal to the claim that everyone who experiences a specific type of hardship later has a specific outcome.
But for the claim you're responding to, this appears to mostly just be some cringey self-aggrandizement?
