It's so whack how self deprication is totally fine but talking yourself up is super controversial.

You can shit on yourself to any extreme and basically no one will ever disagree or discourage you from doing it. But the minute you say "I'm awesome, I'm interesting and driven and smart and good looking" suddenly you're an insufferable narcissist. Our society encourages people to be insecure and hate themselves, and actively punishes people for being genuinely confident and loving themselves.

Can we please normalize and celebrate people saying nice things about themselves. And discourage people saying shitty and mean things to themselves? Because right now we have it totally backwards. Normalize thinking you're fucking awesome.
