How? 'Control what you can control' seems innocent and positive, but the mentality of it really isn't. When you're in a place in your life where everything seems out of control, you try to reclaim some semblance of control in other aspects of your life. For many people, I agree, this is positive, but when it comes to people with mental disorders (as the post suggests) they aren't just going to clean their room. They're gonna stop eating for that sense of control, start abusing substances, or other reactions.
It's a bs karma-whoring platitude for IG saltines to share
It's the advice that any reasonably competent psychologist would give you, and is pretty much the basis for cognitive behavioral therapy, you uneducated cretin.
Just because you prefer your own brand of half-baked made-up pseudopsychological bullshit doesn't actually make it real or true.
I actually don't disagree that the sentiment is wrong. CBT is also a great program, but it doesn't teach platitudes, it teaches specific actions. Telling people to 'just control what you can hun 🤗' is counterproductive.
I kinda agree with you both. The intent and message seem to be genuinely positive but it really isn't a healthy mindset. There were a few comments that mentioned practicing Stoicism which would be a better advice than "Control what you can control" since the latter is somewhat cynical.
