If you have a habit of being hard on yourself or are chronically unhappy, it's good to regularly strive to cultivate self-compassion, gratitude, and mindfulness. If you've tried to cultivate these things and you still feel bad, it's because you're a failure and piece of shit

8. Dispensing of Existence Only the group members possess truth/salvation; outsiders are corrupt or bound up in evil. Those outside the group may receive their right to existence by joining the group. Fear tactics warn that leaving means losing salvation/existence.

7. Doctrine over Person Personal experience must conform to ideology. The underlying assumption is that the group’s doctrine/ideology is ultimately more valid, true, and real than any aspect of actual human experience. Doubts about the ideology are reframed as personal evil.

6. Loading the Language Language in the group is characterized by “thought-terminating clichés”, short familiar phrases that prematurely end complex thought, debate, and emotional processing. Specialized jargon creates exclusive “group speak” incomprehensible to outsiders.
