Briar’s Reviews > You're Not Enough (and That's Ok): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love > Status Update

Misunderstanding transition. It is social when they're not adults yet. Has no understanding of ethical non monogamy. Consent seems to not be something considered. She claims you're never at risk of losing ourselves in Chirst. It's a double standard. You can lose yourself in the cult of self love but can't for religion? I don't think she ever had a sense of her baseline self. It's always determined by something else

So if you can't keep up with the societal expectaions, turn to Jesus? I am sad you were unable to find your footing after a breakful. You and Cecely need therapy and not from a priest. A bad version of self love and insisting you are not enough can both lead to bad outcomes.

I am sorry you went through that. An ED is notsomething to be taking lightly. It sounds like you did not have any foundation beyond your faith and fell for the lousy beauty standards. I think many beauty standards are terrible. However, turning to a restrictive faith also isn't usually a good answer.

Committing to something bigger is not necessarily about religion. You're also not taking multiple variables into consideration. You can have high self worth or love but look around and be unhappy about the state of the world.
