it's a normie corporate gaslighting phrase

caring about yourself? like good hygiene, not putting yourself down, celebrating success, etc

It's being compassionate towards yourself: For example, I'm a manic depressive: For me self-care would include making myself healthy food, exercising, getting enough sleep, using cognitive behavioural therapy. The reason 'Self-care' is a thing is it helps keep my demons at bay.
Oliver Evans
But why do we need this narcissistic self-congratulatory term for it? This is just a normal part of being a human being, it's just "being healthy".
But this is just "being healthy"
I feel like "self-care" is a marketing thing to be over-indulgent.

Its normie poop shit
There is no just thing as making yourself better. Everyone is what they are.
I didn't try to be the way I am. I just am this way.

Most people go through life all gas no breaks.
They dont introspect, they dont relax or have fun, they get stuck in ruts where all they do is stress, plan stuff, work, always active on stuff
Humans didnt evolve to live like this. we need to spend like a good hour a day writing, talking, thinking, unravelling our thoughts. we need to make sure we're being healthy, have a good social life, are talking out our problems to gain insight and perspective
TLDR: check yourself before you wreck yourselfs, youre probably stuck in a rut
Wyatt Baker
it's more than that
it's a language trick
normal behaviors are relegated to the realm of "mental health" where they can then be controlled by institutionalized thought
it's part of how they chip away at a person to NPCify them
Josiah Cox
It's just newspeak. It doesn't mean anything, or it could mean anything. Kind of like 'finding yourself' or 'avoiding toxicity'.
People take time to sit and think for 20 minutes, people make a nice meal, people take a bath. It's just normal ass shit that everyone does. By giving it a fancy name it becomes marketable, and more importantly it makes it sound weird and exotic so you feel guilty and selfish for doing basic ass shit like tending to your own needs. It's all a very elaborate psyop that intends to do the opposite of what it says it's for. For the sake of your health it is best ignored. The people pushing it seek only your downfall. Don't give them any ground in your mind because that is the foothold they'll use for going after your soul. Self care is very bad and evil.

unironically take your meds schizo
being healthy is not a psyops.
Mason Ramirez
Could you elaborate? I don't fully understand what you're saying but the way the word makes me feel is something like this.
Luke Cruz
its a schizo thinking that 'big health' telling him to stop being an anime porn addict snack eating waster means theyre trying to turn him into a NPC

Based user this just motivated me to get off my phone eat some fruit and go doodle

I think sums it up pretty nicely
I can't put it into words as elegantly
but basically it's a way of de-emphasizing the fact that neglecting your own needs is a direct byproduct of social enslavement
instead the blame is placed on you and social institutions are set up as the good guy because they encourage you or give you time to focus on "self-care", while they're actually the ones abusing you and draining your soul, thus creating the necessity for it in the first place, all the while
when it becomes a "mental health" "thing" you're more open to eat up whatever guidelines they spit out for you to follow because you're the one who's flawed and crazy and needs correction (when really you're not)

Found the glownigger. We're onto your tricks. We both know what you are doing, no point in trying to discredit the speakers of apparent truth. The fact that the concept even seems the tiniest bit odd to op shows that you've overreached. You pathologize everything so that you can sell a fake cure. We don't need funny names for what is essentially just living life as a human. We have the power of intuition. You may be able to corrupt others but the truth is the truth. If your poison is not immediately accepted at face value by someone they won't easily be won over by merely accusing them of porn addict snack wasting. Do you think that you can shame an anonymous man in a group of anonymous men with such tactics? We're all anonymous here. Only the merit of our words stand before us. This terrifies you and rightfully so. Without ego, guilt, and shame as weapons you only have reason. Your words fail to pass even the most basic of common sense tests so you immediately go back to your standard weapon, but it can find no target.

Self care is interesting because for myself taking 100% care of myself makes me feel like a wimp and I'm wasting my time and life. I feel way better about myself if I push myself like last night I drank 13 beers, slept for 6 hours then unloaded a fishing boat today.
Was hungover as fuck but had a good day. My workmate gave me an 800mg ibuprofen which I was very grateful for.
Was totally worth it last night was fun as. Drinking on the street with like 5 people I didn't know at all except this hooker I kind of know who kept trying to fight me until I told her if she didn't fuck off I was gonna rape her in the street.
Carson Perry
you literally have schizophrenia. and you need to take your meds. im not being ironic or memeing here. youre mentally ill

>I feel like "self-care" is a marketing thing to be over-indulgent.
Basically. Things have gotten so shitty and the gen x and later generations have become so self aware of existential dread that they needed a term for coping. It's like retail therapy with a better PR name.
Gavin Cooper
I'm sure there are those who would like that, for me and many others who see through the charade. A drugged and mindless population of economic units. Such fine clothing m'lord.
Lucas Rodriguez
Imagine bootlicking Pop Psychology Nazis this hard. I bet you repeat affirmations to yourself in the mirrror too
