I wanted to rant against the glorified positive community on 'Self Acceptance.' It seems to be the end all be all for any social issues, like being awkward, unable to connect, etc. There is this preaching idea that once you accept yourself you'll find someone or things will work out. I don't think this is true.
My concept of self isn't just me. Since I want friends, relationships, and a career I am a composite of me and what society wants. Want to have more dates? You'll need more confidence, good lucks, charm, and social ease. Self acceptance doesn't change much of this. Self improvement might help, but the people who were naturally born with admirable traits improve even further. Your playing catch up to evolving requirements in all aspects of life.
So accept yourself? Sure, but it won't change much statistically speaking.
