    This is a cult recruitment tactic called love-bombing. A weird group tried this on me, but it didn’t work. I kinda liked it though so I regularly go back for more. They don’t serve much food though, and the farm work leaves me exhausted every day.

      Me and my family link arms and do this ironically to people, just to see if they get the joke. Usually they don’t and we have to add a new bed to my room. Eh, one day they’ll get it.

    This reminds me of a German kids game by the name of “Poor black cat”: The participants sit in a circle. One participant is the “poor black cat” and accordingly pretends to be a cat. They chose one other participant and that one has to pet the “cat” while calling them a “poor black cat”. If the “cat” makes the participant laugh, they lost and have to play the role of the cat for the next turn.

    So it’s goes in a similar direction of what OP is suggesting, but it involves catgirls.

    Let’s give it a try! (Albeit with reduced effectiveness, as it’s hard to make a circle with just one person)

    Hey! Yeah, you, the person reading this! You’re a beautiful person and I admire your resilience in enduring all that life has to throw at us. The world we live in instrumentalises us at every opportunity, so simply being here at all, as the complex and wonderful human you are is an incredible act of rebellion, which I respect.

    I see the shame and guilt you feel over your flaws and mistakes, and I wish that you would be kinder to yourself, but I also recognise that these emotions are good, in moderation, as they’re the beginning of change. That you want to be more than you have been is the mark of a strong character, and you deserve the chance to grow into an even cooler and powerful version of yourself. You’re kinder and wiser and more beautiful than you know.
