kurtis rlly does have the potential to be a bully and the fact that he isnt makes him 10000x better

thats what i was thinking too like ppl are more often than not just awful to disabled ppl?? so idky he said that

Kurtis made an excellent point too that the inconveniences disabled people face due to most things being made to be used by abled people is pretty high. People being nice to disabled people is never an insult.

I think the way people are "too nice" is when they keep trying to help when nobody asked ya know, I've done that to a classmate multiple times, and I fell so shity for it nowadays cause he was clearly bothered but I didn't realize it

Honestly, I think he miscommunicated what he was trying to say. He isn't afraid of people being "too nice", he's afraid of being pitied. I think this is probably a deep-seated ego fear that a lot of these guys have. They can't handle pity because they have no self-awareness or confidence.

@@fabiobalassia EXACTLY

@@Itsme-qo2le thank you! :]

The way neuro and physio-typical people perceive differently abled people is real strange. Almost a weird sense of jealousy.

@@ChezzaOuttaNowhere such people are just very insecure due to failing to achieve what they desire, as well as feeling lonely and not appreciated/recognised by people. They get so desperate to get the attention they're unable to get with their set of skills that it makes them jealous someone can actually have it (even when it's mere courtesy) - it's similar to how misogynists always focus on how "men are expected to open doors/carry things" whenever there's an argument about women's rights, as if it's relevant and the "extra niceties" they bring up are at all comparable to the issues discussed. Similarly, they will find any excuse to think to themselves that when someone else has what they want it is undeserved, and must be due to (for example) disability, since everyone is "too nice" - they can't face the fact that they're just not good enough. They almost wish they were in the same situation as they know they wouldn't get the "attention" otherwise, convincing themselves that even mere courtesy is some kind of special treatment (that they crave but can't have), therefore demonising it and staying ignorant to all the issues that come with disabilities. It all stems from hurt egos that are too fragile to face reality, and it's honestly pathetic.

@@ChezzaOuttaNowhere most typicals aren’t even aware that there’s a whole differently abled world out there that is absolutely different from how they function. It’s like we’re unicorns lol

@@ChezzaOuttaNowhere It’s so insane to me how so many people when they can’t relate on a personal level just decide that it’s ok to throw empathy out of the way.

On point, and sometimes the whole “alpha-male-motivational-speaker” shit is the root of it. This people prey on the young and radicalize them, I've seen nice guys turn "absolute savages" because of this type of content...sad, man...

Absolutely right ✅

that’s why therapy exists. yes, it is expensive, but if someone decides to drop $500-2500 on a self proclaimed “motivational speaker” then i’m sure that they can also afford going to a therapist or like a support group (which usually targets a specific community). also, in addition to what you said, they plant these messed up ideas in their heads and i am almost certain that they don’t help anyone in the long run, if anything, these alpha men are shitty, egoistic and pretty misogynistic too.

The "advice" that motivational speakers spew is literally the opposite of what any therapist would tell you and I'm pretty sure it's actively harmful to those who do struggle with it

excuse me- I find it very ignorant but I do know people don't believe depression exists but I have NEVER heard someone say that people get cancer because they live resentful lives. Like wut the fuq. My grandma and aunt died of cancer bro-

@@Chikaboom_Boom my grandpa died of it too what the motivational speaker said is so ignorant. a lot of people live happily but still get cancer so it really irked me when i read that part. i'd like to see that speaker get cancer and then have someone tell them "well maybe you were living a resentful life🤷" to see how they would react

DUDE I'm so sorry. A teacher tried to do the same thing to me, too. I was like "if someone drops THEIR pencil you pick it up and give it back to THEM and THEY say thank you." I've been repping singular They pronoun since I was in elementary because of that one shit teacher, mainly because I was disgusted that she tried to incorrectly correct me lol. But I think it was a great coincidence, I ended up being nonbinary. I think it's insane that someone can grow up speaking a whole language where they regularly use singular They, and not even realize they do it. That teacher sucked, I'm sorry you went through that.

Yessss

Yeah I’d say that’s pretty much it

It’s just a little bit of a darwanism

What if you got no friends or support to lean on though

@@pepperchan6471 yea ur right, it's hard for others to be there for you the way you want. i'm going thru so much and i have to somewhat be there for myself so idk.

​@@pepperchan6471 seek a professional. not a motivational seeker or weird people with 0 credibility trying to steal your money, i mean a therapist. i'm of the belief that relying on friends and seeking help with family can lead to more harm than good, because not everyone is equipped to handle someone else's baggage and it's frankly not fair to expect that of everyone at all times. you shouldn't be relying on friends or family for your mental well-being, that'll only drag you both down to the ground. you'll slowly ruin all your relationships by constantly dumping negativity on everyone around you and hoping to get positivity out of other people. you need to learn how to be stable and functional on your own first, and getting therapy might help you get your footing for that.

@@ayatoculus @kirin I'm not saying I like motivational speakers or anything, I find them cringey too. And yes, I know that one should not use friends or family as an emotional dumpster, because from a young age my own parents have unloaded their emotional baggage on me, effectively fucking me up. However, a lot of people in my position CANNOT AFFORD THERAPY, and live in shitty countries where seeking help for mental problems is a huge stigma. I'm a minor, and am trapped in a abusive household and have no money. Lots of kids out there like me. Worst thing is that this is normal in my country. Services for child protection won't do shit. So I understand if someone turns to Motivational Speakers as a last desperate resort. It is easy to attract and manipulate emotionally vulnerable and lonely people.

@@ayatoculus that sounds much like victim blaming, also as the other comments said not everyone can afford a therapist, especially while being underage and in a non-supportive household. Or maybe they tried and had a bad experience (I got a shitty therapist [which my mom didnt even actually get for my mental health, she just wanted to get a paper saying that I needed a support dog or whatever so our dog could stay home] that costed hundreds and they literally just made me feel like shit and my mom got angry at me for "exaggerating" things. I know this was only 1 therapist and doesn't reflect on all the others, but lmao my mom ain't taking me to another one since she got the paper for the dog. Also, saying that you shouldn't rely on friends or family is only your personal belief. My friends have been what are keeping me floating and alive. I understand than friends are not professionals and they are not equipped to help with your emotional baggage, but that isn't what it is about. It's just about having someone who you know likes you despite you thinking that you're shit. They just listen to me, I listen to them and then we play games together and forget the bad things. It's one of the only times I'm happy and having fun.

Same he says the T so softly XD

not even to mention wolves dont even have "alphas" which makes the whole thing they based their rebranded toxic masculinity on completely incorrect.

sounds like a heck of an assembly

Motivational speakers are a lot like fake psychics in that they say incredibly generic things but their audience is going to interpret those generic sayings to apply to their specific situation without even realizing it so they will attribute wisdom or knowledge to the psychic or speaker. It's a natural human instinct to relate to other humans and relate what other humans are saying to our situation. It's a basic part of human empathy. Unfortunately con artists know this and they use it to manipulate people. Which is why so many people believe in horoscopes and those psychics that claim to speak to your dead relatives and motivational speakers apparently.
