Manson: building resilience requires getting better at feeling bad
We have traded genuine resilience for a meritocracy of pain, where trauma is treated as social currency rather than a hurdle to overcome. By shielding ourselves and others with 'kid gloves' empathy, we are inadvertently stunting the psychological development required to face an indifferent world. Reclaiming your power requires a radical shift: stop using your history as a crutch and start getting better at feeling bad.
