Lunacy is too strong a word but it is kind of cringe. Constant rampage with these kinds of inspirational posts.

I don't think the first one is all that bad, but it does have a tinge of toxic-positivity.

It's the "unstoppable" bit. Bitch, please stop me if I'm about to do something stupid.

Yeah, working on yourself makes you resilient, but it definitely doesn't make you unstoppable. Like Picard said, "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose."

No HR has given me a job based on my character or my personality, ever.

You become unstoppable when you acquire a Paramount Group Marauder and then decide not to stop because you're driving a very robust vehicle that few things have the capacity to stop.

I'm of two minds; in context these are great. Like the last one (the shining one) I've seen pop up in both autism groups and surviving narcissistic parents groups, and it makes sense there. Both of those groups of people have had people in their lives try to diminish them, and make them fit into other peoples needs and expectations. And a friend of mine in recovery posted that exact 'place you wanted to be' one. So in the right setting these work. But sharing them on linkedin erases the context and makes these seem more like the toxic positivity slogans you see the fitness gurus flood you with. So I think the real cringe lies with the original poster (not you, lemmy poster, you're good 👍)

This kind of shit is exhausting to just scroll past, I can't imagine being a sincere and active participant

I would argue that with certain unethical acts you could remove mindsets, character and personalities off a person. Or at leas bits of them.
