@r0ckyreed You can never know anything definitively. Anytime someone claims something to be true, they try to justify it in some way. But that justification relies on another justification, and so on, and on, and on.... and on.... So, nothing can be known definitively.

@NoSelfSelf What is your actual experience in game? How many approaches have you done?

Work on your self talk. Just experiment and reflect. Try out saying different things to yourself in the moment and see what helps you to approach. Experiment with saying a variety of things to say for yourself. For example, i know 1) "I get to" or "She gets to" thinking helps me. I.e. "She gets to meet me". Or "I get to approach her". 2) "Who the fuck would have the ball to do that?" helps me too.

Someone will ask why their mum died, and noself will says it because they didn't have game

Main reason I use forum is for sense of community. AI can't grant that, at least now.

Religion can be very helpful for red to blue. Just look at violent prisoners who convert to a religion.

Well I guess, in Spiral Dynamics, the idea would be that you focus on all these stage orange successes for a while. Until you hit the limitations of the stage, and start moving more strongly into Green. Main limitations are lack of connection to others, and just overall emptiness of orange success.

I can understand rationality and being scientific as being at yellow and orange. However, I don't understand how you are fitting personal responsibility at yellow.

That sounds like classic orange, not yellow. Though I guess would depend on what you mean by personal responsibility.

I think my dad was pretty emotionally unavailable. Had some positive traits for sure but also was/is a bit f*cked in the head too lmao.

When post long videos, would request we, at least, post a summary of the main argument we are trying to make please.

@QandC Congrats on the addiction progress dude. Sounds like it was a very tough place to be.

Not enlightened myself. However, I thought of this video from Shinzen Young: https://youtu.be/ptkH0uK1uXM

Wish I could comment from direct experience. However, unfortunately, I'm an unawakecel .

Meditation is classic for broke boy self-development.

No need to apologize for delays due to health issues, imo, mate. All the best with your health issues.

I feel when it comes to dating advice people should take advice from people of the same sex. Aside from foundational things like working on trauma and attachment style.

Would go back a few years. These past few years have really just been me 24/7 trying to figure out meditation and therapy. And most of progress in that, for me, is just learning what works for me. Now I'd know what therapist to work with and have more understanding of what meditation to do.

So like if a thought comes up you might observe it for a few seconds. Then switch to say watching the window in the room, and then switch to something else. And so on and so on?

@CoolDreamThanks What technique(s) did you use on the retreat? Also, what was your schedule?

So you are arguing that the only possible conclusion is the following. That every time I think someone else is commenting out of a desire to feel superior, then I am simply deceiving myself. According to this, even if someone were to say "I am writing this piece of advice merely as a way to feel superior to the other person", then i would be wrong to conclude that they were trying to feel superior. Need I say more lol. You just attacked people by calling them babies in a recent comment. Though I understand if you meant direct attacks, i.e. on specific users. And, here you are seemingly arguing that there is only one reason that people react negatively to your advice. That reason being that they can't stand to see their ego shaken. And never because they are in some sense justified in their negative reaction towards what you say, i.e. sensing an arrogant attitude. So, it would follow you are arguing that in 100% of these situations you are in the right and they are in the wrong. This doesn't sound very likely to me. Again, I'll reiterate that I doubt the good intentions of many of these 'cut through the bullshit' type posts/ comments.
