#3This is bad. The advice given perpetuates the myth you are an individual completely separate from the world outside of it, the very feeling that alienates you from other people and the feeling behind the animosity that we feel towards others.
The only way to be at peace with world( and people who live in it) is to realize that you are the world not a part of it.

Also, it's hard to take this advice seriously, when the title of the article engages in polite self-censorship by partially masking foul language with asterisks.

"The advice given perpetuates the myth you are an individual completely separate from the world outside of it" <--- where in the article does it say anything like that?

>You want to do as far opposite from this as reasonably possible.
And be crushed by the arrogant, cruel jerks.
(I realize becoming the enemy is in no way defeating the enemy, but using the enemy's tactics to advance better principles and achieve a just outcome is War 101 stuff.
"Not giving a fuck what other people think" does not imply being mean or rude to people. If anything, the people who need this advice the most are the people who already give too much importance to external signals and won't become arrogant just by becoming more confident.)

> This is exactly the way arrogant, cruel jerks operate.
But that doesn't mean all people who operate like this are arrogant, cruel jerks.

#9When you are someone who lacks self-confidence or whose actions are determined by how others will think of you (taken to the extreme), this may very well be good advice. This is the type of advice that helps me personally, since I have struggled with the anxiety caused by worrying too much about other people's opinion of me.
However, while this may be a good quick-fix solution to self-confidence issues, I wouldn't say it's a very good way to live life in general. We're not isolated in this world, and other people's thoughts and opinions do matter. But if someone worries _too_ much about what other people think, this may be the type of article that helps shock them out of their current state.

It's not clear to me you read the article, because your comment doesn't refer to anything that was actually in it.
Which part(s) of it are the way arrogant, cruel jerks operate? Were you referring to this? "Start standing up for what you believe in—causes, opinions, anything." Probably not.
