We all have mental health challenges every day. Could they arise from how we respond to feeling inferior? Please join in the debate. All views are my own.

The Inferiority Theory says that our unwanted behaviours are responses to feelings of inferiority.
So we need to be respectful to ourselves and all others; increasingly take responsibility for solving our problems; institutions should aim to support this.

"It manifests that they matter and that their experiences as human beings matter enough to be given this solid cash floor”
Universal basic income, huh?

I can echo this. It's probably two per day at the moment.
We have to set up schools so everyone can thrive, not just obey and pass tests.
Every school should have at least one ARP to meet the needs of the children that come through their door.
My friends often fear getting old but it's inevitable so we should embrace it. I think this chart is really helpful to remember that it can be okay, even if life isn't perfect. Credit to @chimpmanagement
Rose Cartwright's article explores the problems with how mental illnesses are viewed and how she found more clarity. theguardian.com/society/2024…

I’ve spent the past month playing The Good Fairy.
I always said the same thing at the end of the show.
This is me saying it for the last time.

This article by Siân Boyle covers quite a lot of ground but this quote stopped me in my tracks. How many people feel like this?

It's sad to think how many people in an organisation are made to feel "just do your job". Agency has dwindled and they are frightened of changing anything.
Following orders is often vital but everyone is put on this planet to experience joy and satisfaction.
There's a myth that "change has to start at the top". Change doesn't come from top-down or bottom up. Change can come from anywhere. It emanates from the centre of networks. We get to the centre through small groups, loosely connected & uniting them with a shared purpose. It is generally a more successful strategy to "grow" change by attracting people, than to "drive" change by overpowering people: greg-satell.medium.com/chang…. By @digitaltonto.
Schools generally focus on the Investment side of the formula. It can take a lot of effort to be as good as everyone else but not everyone wants that.

A song with bitter insights into the people of relying on "your old man's money": "you'll never be strong" and "it's easy to hurt when you can't feel pain"

Really insightful, if a bit hateful, about the perils of relying on "your old man's money": "You'll never be strong" and "it's so easy to hurt when you can't get pain".

The big idea: is being ‘good enough’ better than perfection? theguardian.com/books/2024/j…
In @jordanbpeterson's Rule 3, he comments that we assume others have virtue and are blameless before we help them. Bad habits and inaction are much more likely causes of our difficulties but we are so ashamed of them.
So many great ideas on Inferiority and the difficulty of being a teenager. Listen again to the debate bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-engla… via @BBCNews
