This post strikes me as broadly outlining some coping mechanisms, and then saying these are bad because people do them instead of actually fixing anything. There's some important nuance there that's lacking, and I suspect this post will do more harm than good by making people feel bad about coping mechanisms / strategies that let them tolerate the world, without helping them do anything else. I mean, the self-dig is sweet and I guess indicates that we're all struggling with this balance together, but still.
(Apologies if this is harsh: I also can't decide if I find the tone more fun-to-read or insulting, and I'm leaning towards 'insulting'. It's a close call though, props for trying something unusual.)
