Yeah I think passion can be overblown at times But sometimes without passion it's very difficult to do it It might be nuanced I think This is the problem with a lot of teachers it's that they talk in absolutes cuz it garners clicks. It's usually some combination of both

Why am I good at English but suck at French?

Philosophy on confidence: It's a practice (affirmations and visualizations) Influenced by past successes Positively affected by mindfulness and letting go of thoughts With a identity of a confident person With a strong feeling of enough Ness Positively affected by processing trauma Positively influenced by self belief and self trust Growth mindset My top 5 current interests: Confidence Productivity Self love- self esteem Social skills Tech

Good point. Gotta go for girls who are about it. Chasing is so lame Why chase a girl who may or may not be into u

The the human potential is still extraordinarily high when cultivated even for the avg person

What bothers me about feminism is that a lot of feminists are anti Cis,white and male What's the logic in that? Do people not analyze their thinking? What bothers me about antiracism is that indian people are not equally (or at least well) represented ? What my main curiosity is - what is the root of racism, sexism and anti lgtbq What I find hypocritical is that I'm against racism but I don't care so much about classism. I wonder what other forms of discrimination exists Looks-ism? Lol. Sizeism. Ableism. Classism. Ageism

Certainly possible; Good personality is incredibly OP I think its more of a logistical question, like what's more important to you

Saw a post about values; What are values? X____ Values can be vague, so it's important to turn a vague value into a concrete manifestation. What does this value look like in my life? How could I manifest my value more? My top 10 values (wip): Kindness (to others) Mastery (for competence, success, progress, growth, efficiency) Creation (creating a good happy life) Equality (class, race, age etc.) Self-love/self-esteem (for confidence) Wisdom (doing things consciously, having conscious, wise perspectives) Health (good energy + mentality) X X X

Nice speech from princess Arabia said: I have realized that anything I dislike is not about the thing I dislike but the way I perceive the thing I dislike. If the thing I disliked was Absolutely dislikeable, it would be disliked by everyone. If I desire to want to see the thing I dislike as likeable, I recognize I have to adjust my way of thinking about what I dislike in order for it to become likeable to me. If I don't like what I see in the mirror, I don't try to change the mirror, I try to change what's looking through the mirror. If the mirror is wiped clean, you will see a clear version of yourself. If it is foggy, you will see a foggy version of yourself. If you move to another mirror foggy or clean, you will still see that version of yourself respectively. God becomes insane when it's in the state of consciousness when it's complaining about its own creation. When it creates something it doesn't like and doesn't wipe it clean and start over, but instead whine about it and call it all sorts of names and expect it to change on its own, that's called insanity. The world is a mirror reflecting back to us our own states of consciousness. Change your state of consciousness, change your world. All the posts I've seen on here from men complaining about getting dates and attracting women have dogged women out. They complain and whine about the women they can't seem to attract. How would you know that's how they were if you didn't attract it. It had had to be within your awareness for you to be aware of it. So you attracted it and we don't attract what we want, we attract who we are. If I'm whining about meeting men who are dogs and pigs, then I attracted men who are dogs and pigs not because I'm a dog or a pig but because I assume men are dogs and pigs. Youtube's algorithm suggests videos based on your previous watches and assumes what it thinks you like to watch. It is designed that way. There are never any shortages on videos to watch on YT based on our likes. It keeps sending them our way. Well, the Universe is like that, it will keep sending women your way based on what it thinks you like and based on your reactions towards women and the traits you have energetically and emotionally reacted to. If you show no emotion towards your dislikes, it will recognize you are not interested in that. If you keep praising and show gratitude for what you like it will send more women your way that matches that. Stop complaining and whining about what you don't like because you are sending a message to the Universe that that is what you want. The Universe is here to serve you, and if you concentrate and only focus on the traits in a woman you like by showing gratitude when it comes your way and ignoring the ones you don't like without disdain and hatred, you will start to attract more of that. Your attention is your most viable asset and you should pay more attention to what you are paying attention to. Long post, but these are things I have learnt and have seen a tremendous difference with. It might not be about dating but other aspects in my life. All I can do is share with you what I've learnt and understood and then try to relate that to you the best I can. No sense in bashing and trying to convince, that is just going to perpetrate more bashing and convincing.

yeah it does suck. girls get shamed for too much, guys get shamed for too little one things for sure there's nothing wrong with you and your worth is not defined by this

no but in my experience most sex sucks. at least for one night stands sex with emotional connection that is some good shit lol

Remember that stereotypes and biases are reflections of those who hold them, not of those they target. You are indeed a unique individual with your own strengths and merits, separate from any generalization or stereotype

Damn sorry for that man, I also experience racism from time to time too i have no advice besides changing your sources of media. If it's getting overwhelming you can curate your social media to mostly positive stuff. I think overtime you get acclimated to more positive sources Also mindfulness meditation helps me personally for dealing with emotions

I wouldn't be attached to the 40 hour rule Do as much as you need/want to/can handle

how to vipassana; by tara brach Find a sitting position that allows you to be alert - spine erect but not rigid - and also relax. Clos your eyes and rest your hands in an easy and effortless way. Allow your awareness to scan through your body and wherever possible, soften and release obvious area of physical tension. Because we so easily get lost in thoughts, vipassana begins with attention to the breath. Using the breathe as a primary anchor of mindfulness helps quiet the mind so that you can awake to the changing stream of life that moves through you. Take a few very full breaths, and then allow your breath to be natural. Notice where you most easily detect the breath. You might feel it is as it flows in and out of your nose; you might feel the tough of the breath around around your nostrils on your upper lip; or perhaps you feel the movement of your chest or the rising and falling of your abdomen. Bring your attention to the sensations of breathing in one of these areas, perhaps wherever you feel them most distinctly. There is no need to control the breath, to grasp or fixate on it. There is no “right” way of breathing. With a relaxed awareness, discover what the breath is really like as a changing experience of sensations. You will find that the mind naturally drifts off in thoughts. Thoughts are not the enemy, and you do not need to clear your mind of thoughts. Rather, you are developing the capacity to recognize when thoughts are happening without getting lost in the story line. When you become aware of thinking, you might use a soft and friendly mental note: “Thinking, thinking.” Then without any judgement, gently return to the immediacy of the breath. Let the breath be home base, a place of full presence. While you might notice other experiences - the sounds of passing cars, feelings of being warm or cool, sensations of hunger - they can be in the background without drawing you away If any particular sensations become strong and call your attention allow those sensations, instead of the breath, to become the primary subject of mindfulness. You might full heat or chills, tingling aching, twisting, aching, stabbing, vibrating. With a soft, open awareness just feel the sensations as they are. Are they pleasant or unpleasant? As you fully attend to them, do they become more intense or dissipate? Notice how they change. When the sensations are no longer a strong experience, return to mindfulness of breathing. Or if the sensations are so unpleasant that you are unable to regard them with any balance or equanimity, feel free to rest your attention again in the breath. In any similar way, you can bring mindfulness to strong emotions - fear, sadness, happiness, excitement, grief. Meet each experience with a kind and clear presence, neither clinging to nor resisting what is happening. What does this emotion feel like as sensations in your body? What does this emotion feel like as sensations in your body? Where do you feel it most strongly? Is it static or moving? how big is it? are your thoughts agitated and vivid? are they repetitive and dull? does your mind feel contracted or open? as you pay attention, notice how the emotion changes. Does it become more intense or weaken? does it change into a different state? happiness to peace? when the emotion is no longer, compelling, turn your attention back to the breath. if the emotion feels over whelming for you, or if you are confused about where to place your attention, relax and come home to your breath. The particular sensations, emotions or thoughts that arise when we practice mindfulness are not so important. it is our willingness to become still and pay attention to our experience, what it may be, that plants the seeds of radical acceptance. with time we develop capacity to relate to our passing experience, whether in meditation or daily life, with deep clarity and kindness.

6/20: Cool comment I saw on reddit "A weak person will always be nice, because he is afraid of confrontation. But a confident person being nice, is a dangerous person. Because you never know what his true motiv is. Kindness however, comes from the heart, and anyone can be a kind person, confident or insecure, as long as it truely comes from the heart."

I think the way we perceive things is mostly the issue rather than the things themselves. I think trauma healing could help a lot here

Can we see your notes

Almost my experience too

@mr_engineer ah okay gotcha. Can def agree that there are a lot of negative parts of the left that I hope get tempered too My guess is hopefully it'll be weeded out in the long run

@mr_engineer Which pov do you prescribe to? The right has a ton of biases. Status quo bias, nationalism, traditionalism, free market bias etc.
