    This is true but it’s like telling a depressed person to “just try being happy”

    like bruh I know it doesn’t work but that doesn’t mean I’m directly capable to stop doing it in my present incarnation

    There are deeper patterns that need to be resolved here

    But I appreciate your concern, still a solid move even if a bit misguided
