Behold an adapted version of a post I wrote on LinkedIn recently.
(The original contained an image, and I don’t send images in my emails for a bunch of boring, technical reasons, hence the slight edits).

“Here is why some people who are fat and out of shape get triggered by my content.
It’s a simplistic overview of the eminent psychologist Carl Rogers’ concept of “congruence”.
In it you have:
1) Your “ideal self” – the person you want to be.
And,
2) Your “self image” – the person you actually are.
If these are well aligned, you are congruent and enjoy high self esteem.
If they are not well aligned, you are incongruent and experience the anguish of cognitive dissonance.
In context:
There are plenty of men who *say* their health and fitness is important to them for their own sake and the sake of their family.
But when those men are fat and out of shape because they’re too lazy to go to the gym and too greedy to put down the fork, their actions are at odds with who they aspire to be.
Hence – they get triggered and write passive aggressive comments on my social media posts or, in some cases, explode in a fit of impotent rage.
I can’t help these people. (Nor do I want to for a bunch of reasons, some obvious and others less so).
There are, however, a rare few men out there with the strength of character to not only see what they’re doing is wrong but also take decisive action to do something about it.”

There’s certainly a lot more to Carl Rogers’ humanistic theory than what I’ve outlined here.
But the above is sufficiently instructive for our purposes.
