For me its got to be the dude behind Healthygamergg. I just find his advice so ridiculous and just really dislike how he just seems so absolutely certain in what he says.

    The guy just appears so confident and certain in absolutely everything he says and acts like he has the answer to all problems related to mental health. His advice doesn’t resonate at all with me and his advice just sounds like he is talking from his ass 99% of the time.

      Because it’s not opinions coming from him. It’s coming from the entire field of psychology and therapy. That’s why he’s licensed. This is like arguing with a science teacher because you don’t like what they’re teaching.

      I’m a healthygamergg proponent atm, but we all have to admit that there’s some overlap between interpreting results from science into actionable points and needing to use personal morals/philosophy to get there. Also, that there’s plenty of areas for improvement in terms of data supporting conclusions, although it’s also valid to use the best we’ve got so far until more results come along.

      With that in mind I do find myself being a little skeptical of some of his jumps to assertions, as in sometimes maybe overly simplistic, yet still valid ways of interpreting, imo.

      Do you have an example or two of what might be the more egregious ass-talking, or what chaps you the most? I’m not looking to attack the criticism, just curious at this point. Maybe there’s something I need to pay more attention to.
