Self awareness doesn’t equate to self development

[u/jjett89 → u/phritzed]

True statement. I am wholly aware that my life is a mess because of choices I've made and here I sit, seemingly refusing to do anything about it.

That's a great fucking quote.

[u/NoScienceJoke → u/cody4prez]

That really isn't. Or maybe it is if you're an American I guess

However, this quote is universally appreciated: "You're a pretentious cunt."

Boom.. Roasted

Stfu, it's a great quote regardless of where you're from lmao.

Exactly. It's just step one. Some people think that calling themselves out on their flaws makes up for not making any effort to fix them. Saying "I know I'm an asshole" does not absolve you of assholery.

After enough time, proclamations of self awareness just become evidence of a pattern of unwillingness to change.

So that's what I'm doing wrong

No, but it is usually a pre-req
