Topic: How are white men supposed to “have positive self-talk” when the world actively hates them?

I got told this by a female acquaintance that I needed to have positive self-talk to get out of my rut.
Kinda hard to do that when you’re demonized constantly by society. Yeah, you might say “At least you aren’t getting killed by the cops or sexually assaulted!”
But the fact of the matter is that as a bipolar depressed male, I am at a far greater risk of suicidal when my mental illness can’t be treated. And it can’t be treated if your prognosis is to perform an act of which society is actively training you to perform the total opposite.

It's not about "talking up" white privilege, but rather the parts of your personality that you are proud of. "I'm a good listener," not, "I'm a good white listener."

Mental health is fake. Quit being a pussy and man up. Stop making excuses. You’re sad because your life sucks not because of some baloney medical condition.
