Maybe it's a tactic to narrow his audience down to people who are open enough to listen to what he has to say without feeling belittled. Maybe it's just the way he knows to communicate best and he doesn't care to change it because it's not worth the inefficiency. I don't know, he'd have to explain it himself. People are different. Noone does things exactly the way you would do them.

yeah come on let's ask these questions! What about these marginalised groups? Have you read up on the mistreatment of poor, ugly and weak people? Or more importantly: Have you read up on the systemic and societal discrimination against men? Because these things exist! I urge you to do your research and argue for betterment if you truly care about these issues! Otherwise I need you to stop only bringing up these topics if somebody else wants to talk about their rights. All these issues are real and most importantly, they overlap! What about poor, ugly and weak women? What about gay black men? Virtually everyone in the world is being discriminated against in some way. Noone can talk about everything all at once. If you care about something, speak up! Otherwise don't make it harder for people wanting to get treated better.

Could it be possible that you simply have some mild allergies? I for example currently have hayfever and one of my symptoms is exactly what you described. Sometimes my nose is only the tiniest bit stuffy, so I don't even always notice what is causing my trouble breathing. I also often get headaches and feel tired. If you think that could be the cause, try washing your face or even better showering before bed, also wash your face and, blow your nose and use nasal spray when you get up. Of course you could also try using medication like ceterizine, but this could in turn make you even more tired, which is why I don't like using it. If you find out that it's in fact allergies, unfortunately you just gotta learn to wait it out until the triggers gone.

Well why don't jo go jog, dance, fight or fap then? Life isn't all about discipline. Don't beat yourself up for enjoying things that aren't productive. Self-development should be pursued because it makes you feel good and fulfilled. A big part of that is also allowing yourself to just be and enjoy the many things life has to offer, even if they don't directly improve your abilities or knowledge. I feek if you didn't view these activities like videogames as inherently bad, you'd be able to perform them much more consciously. If you notice that you're in the mood to play, take some time out of your day to really enjoy the activity and regain some energy to do the more mentally exhausting things. You aren't a machine.

Everybody, every woman wants to feel valued. Do not approach women because you want something from them, approach them, because they are already giving something to you, because they are of value to you. Approach them because you enjoy their company and want to get to know them. Why the hell would anyone be attracted to you, if you just see them as a piece of meat, a means to an end? You cannot expect other people to just give you what you desire, without offering something in return. Paradoxically, at the same time, stop treating human relationships as a transaction.

The first time I did the test was atleast 5 years ago, i got INTP and definitely saw myself fit parts of the description, but especially the parts about the INTP not being able to recognize others feelings didn't feel correct. Couple of years later I did it again and got INFP, though I really couldn't identify with large parts of the description even though I felt I had answered all the questions honestly. I did it a third time some weeks ago and got ENFP, which definitely could fit the view some people have on me, but definitely does not feel right either, it rather fits the way I may want to be seen. Going back to INTP I cannot identify with that one either by now. So I kinda feel like you, OP, but I would not worry about that too much. After all it really isn't a revelation that the human mind is very difficult to be categorized.

Exactly. However, unlike yourself, a lot of people aren't aware that and why they are making these decisions.

There have actually been studies showing that for example people named Phil were much more likely to move to Philadelphia. This has been done with many more similar scenarios and there definitely seems to be a coherence.

I recently had a talk with a doctor who specializes in diabetes. She told me that, unfortunately, the human body has a desire to maintain your weight at the highest you've ever reached. That's why it's so hard for most people to lose weight and keep it that way. It does require some mental strength, but it is definitely not a lost cause. Apparently it is easier to compensate for it through more physical activity, rather than restricting your eating habits.

Interesting vision I can agree, that that would probably be a beautiful utopia. But I'm not sure if people living in this world would be truly fulfilled and loved. With all the freedom they got and no obligations, what are they going to do with all the free time on their hands?

That's not how actualization works in my experience Your progress does not get lost, if you allow yourself to fall back into old patterns every once in a while. Often times you don't even fall behind that much. Your mind doesn't automatically forget everything it has learned the past few weeks/months/years, just because you're focusing on something else for a while I feel like mindfulness tends to welcome me back with open arms every time I stroll a little off my desired path.

What exactly was your intention in posting this? I find your viewpoint very interesting and can't disagree with you. But why exactly do you want to change your body? And what exactly would you change to be close to your self-image? And if you want to change your body to be closer to your self-image, doesn't that mean, you do in fact identify with your body to a certain point?

I think the most important thing to do to be able to get out of these holes as fast as possible, is to not judge yourself. Do not think that you are being weak for falling back into old patterns. Do not think that maybe spirituality just isn't for you. Do not think that all the effort you have made is not worth it. Instead, give yourself time. Be understanding. If it weren't hard for you, you would have already reached enlightenment/ full consciousness. The fact that it isn't easy just means that you aren't there yet and you still have to work on yourself. Just like all of us. You have always found your way back to the path of spirituality, so just trust yourself, that you will do it again.

Why do you think this behaviour is self-destructive? I'd put it in stage orange, solely judging from the trailer.

@Paulus Amadeus not everything has to be a meaningful use of time Why don't you just try it out? If after 2 weeks you decide it isn't for you after all, stop doing it. It's as easy as that. ^^ Besides, you can use a "simple" platform like a gaming channel just as well to make an impact and convey issues important to you (:

I think you vastly underestimate Leos viewers. I doubt anyone takes everything Leo states just as a fact, just as I doubt anyone takes Leos videos as their sole source of information. If anything, I don't believe anyone falls victim to Leos "brainwashing" but rather to their own lack of judgement.

sounds fun! maybe I'll join in (: will keep you up to date

I really liked "the way of the peaceful warrior" (:

Just because some guy on the internet said that there is no death, no bad and no suffering, doesn't mean that you can just start living any way you please without thinking about consequences. In order to be able to do that, you need to really believe that/ have been awakened. Are you enlightened? Because I for myself can't say, that I truly believe there's no suffering just because everything is an illusion. For me, as long as there are creatures that are not enlightened, their suffering and their pain is real! It's real to them, so I can't act like it is not.

Hi Vadim So there's one particular thing that has helped me a lot with procrastination. When you're lying in bed, watching Youtube Videos and not being able to get up, even though you know you should be, idk, writing a thesis, cooking some food, doing laundry... Do one single, very small step towards it. Like, even if it's just throwing the t-shirt next to you on the floor, so you know it needs to be cleaned. Do not pressure yourself to do something in one sitting. If your clothes are on the floor, put them in the washing machine. You don't need to turn in on, just put the clothes there, they'll wait for you. When you're getting a glass of water from your bathroom an hour later, you can maybe turn on the washing machine. And so on and so on. Just do whatever you feel capable of doing in the moment. There's no need to do something quickly, if otherwise you wouldn't do it at all. This may sometimes work well, and other times not so well. I hope you can take something from this advice (: best of luck

I feel like the notion that character hardly changes or, as Leo puts it, rather becomes "polished" over time, is because most of us would not define traits that "need changing" like, for example, SpyAquamarine cheating, stealing etc. as character. So we don't think of it as character changing, but rather us working out our flaws, if traits like these change. Favorable character traits don't need changing, therefore in most cases we don't have a desire to change them significantly.

Even though my mom is not religious, I'd still put her somewhere between blue and orange, since she still seems to have a lot of internalized morals and guilt. However I feel like she is trying very very hard to change that (which is a good thing) but she is doing it in such a tensed manner. She just cares way too much about the way she appears, what she can or cannot do and all that. Also she is very materialistic, not really in a "wealth" kind of way, more in the sense that she doesn't want to give up (or realise) any part of the luxurious life she has. So because of that, I'd give her a fair amount of orange as well. My dad is very difficult for me to classify. He definitely has a lot of orange, because he very firmly believes in all things "science". Also he worries a lot about my material future. But at the same time he is a very well-read and educated man (even though he only went to school until he was 13). He tends to educate himself about certain topics from several points of view. I'd probably give him about 20% of yellow, even though he does not have a lot of green. But maybe I just don't know him well enough.
