Sheesh. I do have empathy for wanting revenge, as I've felt the same at times in my life But idk usually it's not the way

So is this like a 9/11 into Afghanistan approach type deal

@Girzo yeah self help is full of traps. It's best to have a need, and find a good self help book for it. Almost like finding the right screwdriver for a faulty screw. That's one pov at least its more of a means to an end

@Buck Edwards same

I think generally with people. I think if you do it alone it can definietely make things harder, a sense of community is good for the soul and also you can learn a lot from others That being said there are times where you need to be alone and certain people prefer it It depends on the person and circumstance

@Sabth check out the chatgpt4 link I posted, see if that resonates

@Sabth the scamming thing is a racial stereotype. like how a lot of people associate black people with crime, a lot of people associate scamming with people who are indian (they sometimes apply to all south asians) just be careful with that gpt4's opinion: https://chat.openai.com/share/87d51904-7585-49a8-bec6-01b31715468a

Dude is just straight going bigot mode This comment is still up Dude was a closeted white supremacist

Depends on the woman. Some will care some won't Really depends on their own maturity The example you're bringing up, sounds crazy. No empathy when you're physically sick is actually kinda crazy. I'm pretty sure even the average woman empathizes with that I def would try to communicate with her about it. Some people when communicated to about their behavior will change through awareness, even if initially toxic. But the communication needs to be skillfull

@Bobby_2021 that's a great point, conservatives tend to have a lot of exposure to society in general. Esp since rural areas, suburbs and the Bible belt tend to just generally be exposed to different types of people and are def not secluded (Sarcasm) one of the big reasons conservatives are conservatives are due to a lack of exposure to anyone else

@Leo Gura ?

Something I loved that squeex said "You're very intentional with youre time and its madebyou such a well rounded person Lud. That's what I admire about you."

Gpt4 gimme some exercises on increasing self love Absolutely! Cultivating self-love is an essential part of well-being. Here are some short morning exercises you can incorporate to help increase self-love: 1. **Mirror Talk**: Look into the mirror and compliment yourself on one thing, whether it's physical, emotional, or related to your skills or achievements. 2. **Affirmations**: Write down or recite positive affirmations. Examples include "I am enough," "I am worthy of love and joy," or "I am resilient and strong." 3. **Body Love**: Spend a minute or two gently massaging your hands, arms, or face while thinking or saying, "I love and appreciate my body." 4. **Mindful Breathing**: Close your eyes and take 10 deep breaths. As you breathe in, imagine absorbing love and positivity, and as you breathe out, visualize releasing negative self-talk and doubts. 5. **Visualization**: Imagine a bright light in your heart expanding with each breath, filling your entire body with warmth, love, and acceptance. 6. **Self-Hug**: Spend a few moments giving yourself a tight, comforting hug. 7. **Journaling**: Spend a few minutes writing down things you love about yourself. This can be about your character, things you’ve achieved, or even small things you've done recently. 8. **Celebrate Wins**: Acknowledge one small achievement or thing you did the day before, no matter how insignificant it might seem. 9. **Loving Kindness Meditation**: Think of yourself and repeat: "May I be happy. May I be healthy. May I be safe. May I live with ease." 10. **Acts of Self-Care**: Do one small act of self-care, whether it's brewing your favorite tea, using a luxurious hand lotion, or stretching for a few minutes. 11. **Boundaries Reminder**: Remind yourself of a boundary you want to maintain that day, whether it's saying "no" to an extra task, taking regular breaks, or protecting your personal time. Remember, consistency is key. Like your gratitude practice, these exercises can have a profound impact when practiced regularly over time. Adjust and choose the ones th!t resonate the most with you. == Certainly! An effective exercise tailored for enhancing feelings of self-worth and self-esteem is the **"Positive Attributes and Achievements"** reflection. Here's a step-by-step guide: ### Positive Attributes and Achievements Reflection 1. **Preparation**: - Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. - Equip yourself with a journal or some paper and a pen. 2. **List Positive Attributes**: - Write down all your positive attributes. These can be qualities related to your character, appearance, skills, or even your values. - Examples: "I am a good listener", "I am skilled in painting", "I have a warm smile", or "I am resilient". - Aim to list at least 10, but the more the better. Don't rush; take your time to genuinely reflect. 3. **List Achievements**: - Now, write down all the achievements you're proud of, both big and small. Remember, even small milestones matter. - Examples: Completing a challenging project, helping a friend in need, mastering a new recipe, or even getting through a particularly tough day. 4. **Reflection**: - Read through your lists slowly, really taking the time to let each point sink in. - For each point, remember a time when that attribute or achievement was most evident. Relive the feelings and emotions tied to those moments. 5. **Daily Affirmation**: - From your list, choose one attribute and one achievement that resonates the most with you for that day. - Formulate an affirmation combining both, e.g., "I am a skilled communicator, and I successfully led that team meeting last week." - Repeat this affirmation to yourself throughout the day, especially during moments of self-doubt. 6. **Regular Updates**: - Aim to revisit and add to your list regularly. As you grow and evolve, you'll have more attributes and achievements to acknowledge. 7. **Visual Reminder**: - Consider placing your list or affirmations where you can see them daily – a bedside table, pinned on a board near your work desk, or even as a digital reminder. ### Why This Works: By actively acknowledging and focusing on your positive attributes and achievements, you're challenging and reshaping negative beliefs about yourself. Over time, consistently reminding yourself of these positive aspects can significantly boost feelings of self-worth and self-esteem.

why not both?

im just contemplating, maybe to answer the question you could test it by pretending to be a man-hater and see what she believes lol "i fucking hate men they're just sexual abusers" lol legit though ? also i think maybe just testing for people based on their vibe and energy. if they hold strong hate and negativity that could just be the wrong place

That's a really good definition actually > to be able to spot women who are receptive to my love for them. That could be a great pillar

Good mindset + hard work = ✨️

Shifting my focus from specific mastery, to general life mastery = Rudimentary thoughts on life mastery: 1. Emotional mastery 2. Happiness 3. Productivity + efficiency

Noticing a victim mindset in me (that deserves compassion) Whenever facing a tough challenge Solution is to let it be, and remember it's not the truth, just need to let it pass and respond accordingly

Adding to unexpected value: Mindfulness meditation sessions Box breathing Deep breathing exercises Loving kindness meditations

?

I would say the whole thread has a similar frequency tbh

Being nice is a collection of attributes. Quality of your intentions, empathy skills, communication skills, your EQ, integrity Politeness is one of them but it's barely a start Being nice is actually pretty rare, the qualities of it require pretty high development

Tag: productivity The intent of productivity is incredibly key because that's what you're creating Trying to be productive just to be productive is a trap because you could just be meaninglessly being productive You gotta focus on the actual goal/outcome Productivity is just an output == Tag: Productivity Goal-setting is a bit of an art and skill. there is a bit of unique processes that goes into it
