I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It’s pretty cool to see.

    “One is free from depression when they derive their self worth from the truth of their own feelings, and not from the posession of certain things or qualities.” - Alice Miller, The Drama of The Gifted Child

      It’s tough to do this when others derive our self worth from possessions.

      Unfortunately, a lot of self-sufficiency quotes fall short when you want other people in your life. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out that way.
