I'm glad my childhood raised me to be a pathological people pleaser utterly terrified of anyone's disapproval. Nobody complaining about these sorts of people

Not yet. But when the day comes when you decide you don't want to live like this any more, you'll get a lot of "you've changed" and "why are you being so cruel to me" from the people who have grown accustomed to your lack of boundaries.
Oh you're one of those? People pleasers are the worst
No, but understanding how a shitty childhood can often lead to a shitty adult can help prevent it.
Yes and maybe you'll be able to bring up some compassion for shitty people when you understand them a bit better
its not your fault for turning that way. but its your fault for keeping that way.
Nobody is asking for a free pass, but mental healthcare and just a general recognition of the lack of free will that we all suffer in this deterministic universe does require us to think in terms of consequences that might actually work to make the world a better place.
I'm other words, when has saying, "be better" ever persuaded anyone?
What other words are you
Doesn't seem like good ones
Buncha times
Be good. Stop being bad. Okay you can go...
You're against using the phrase "be better" ? Because it's overly reductive, lazy and lacks any real tangible call to action? Is that why?
Same for age, wealth, status, gender, education, height, weight, hair color, surname and any other inane metric yould care to list. People just need validation and respect, yet don't recognize it's a two way street. Not difficult.
Bojack? Is that you?
Plenty of people out there who had shitty childhoods (some of them much shittier than yours) and grew up to be good people. If they can do it, so can you.
As well a lot of people interact through social media. Let's be honest, most are out for attention, the amount of reddit style shit posting and responses I've seen show they're well trained.
