I wonder what suppressing one side of a bisexual identity would look like. Could suppressing your straight side turn you into a 100% gay, and vice-versa?

Good move from Leo. Everyone should just forget about solipsism and the related videos and go back to their lives and practices. I expect Leo will be banning all solipsism discussions from now on.

There's a saying in my culture that says when a man is alone with a woman there's always a devil between them.

??

He basically was a member to begin with, though. I don't remember seeing him locking threads or giving warnings.

I realized that at this point in human history there's almost nothing that's not been said or done before. There's no point in flexing your mind trying to reach a certain understanding. Basically, all you have to do is look, then mix and match.

I'm thinking about creating a thread where I debunk solipsism once and for all. I can definitely do it, but should I? I'm feeling lazy, so I could only write a short version of my thoughts. But then I would not be taken seriously, and the thread would probably get locked. I can literally destroy the illusion for Leo and everyone, no kidding. I need some more mental strength, but it's 10 pm here and I'm a bit tired. Maybe tomorrow, or maybe never.

Well, I can only speak about what I have seen. And I have only seen him offering sessions for free. Maybe he decided to make a change after that. But you still had your mind and free will to stop at any point. So yeah, he is right on taking responsibility too.

You donated your money. He did everything for free.

@Raptorsin7 Nobody forced you to donate anything. Nahm offered you a lot of guidance and you're being ungrateful here.

I agree.

What turns me on? Personality-wise: Narcissistically, pathologically high levels of self-worth. At the same time free and playful. Fun to be around. These qualities trump looks for me. Looks: I mostly subscribe to a religion called Adonitology. But no amount of ass can make up for lack of personality traits.

He really is great, but only if you get him. People should strive to understand him by all means, because that can unlock levels of intelligence beyond one's current comprehension. If you get it, that's cool. If not, move on. Others in the future can read and appreciate, too. But realistically, not so many people can or have the time or dedication to do that. So most of his words will fall on deaf ears, which I don't think is necessarily a problem, but also the problem that I have faced directly with him is that sometimes you just can't communicate with him at the same level. He goes meta all the time, which is not always appropriate or useful. But that can be changed if he want to.

Nahm is great, perhaps one of the greatest teachers I've ever seen. He has so much depth and wisdom and his posts are almost always right on spot if you read them carefully. But yeah, he has to go. Not so many people will understand the communication at that level. And sometimes it's just an unhealthy reduction of everything into nothing.

Probably a bad idea. I don't know a lot about psychedelics, but I know enough to advice against this move. Every time you're taking a psychedelic, you're flipping a coin, and you'll either go to heaven or hell. If you can't handle gore scenes sober, they might break your brain on psychedelics. DON'T DO IT.

@Someone here Life is the best video game, the rest is poor simulation.

I don't think there's any guy on here who disagrees with this. In fact, I think this is exactly what we are trying to learn and master and all of Leo's advice that I have read so far seems to be pointing into this direction. It's in the heart of all the advice.

I agree. I am never against women offering their perspective in a rational healthy way like you are doing right now. Men can be biased sometimes, so we need to hear your voice. Of course it's not a coincidence, but that doesn't automatically mean women are right and men are wrong. Maybe there's a deeper reason. For example, statistically, most of the women who get offended and disagree with the advice are over 30 years old, I have at least three users on my mind right now. Maybe they come from a different era where attraction worked differently, or maybe they're traumatized, or maybe something else. Perhaps that's a topic worthy of further exploration.

I can't speak for everyone, but I have no interest in bending over backwards to please any woman online. I really don't care if women trust me or not, and I don't care about containing them, either. None of that matters to me because I'm not trying to attract, just speaking my mind. I'm different with the women I deal with in my life, and they deserve all that and more, especially the closer they are to me. Here I deal with everyone like I deal with a random stranger regardless of gender, even though I try to be more careful with women because they act super sensitive. I see that too. And I agree. There shouldn't be a lot of gender based discrimination, but if you notice, there are apparently two major parties here; Men trying to get laid vs. Women not liking the advice and trying to change it. So it isn't much about the gender, rather more about two clashing agendas. Some women perceive the advice here as evil and manipulative, so they use all their techniques and try to nullify and contradict the advice. Emerald was a huge antagonist, for example. And she used shaming, blaming, villainizing, playing the victim, claiming experience and authority, misconstruing statistics, appealing to consciousness, appealing to truth, and other psychological techniques to manipulate us into the feminine man role. She probably had good intentions, though. I really enjoyed reading her posts and sometimes arguing with her.

Congratulations, man! And here's to a perfect health, free from all sorts of poisons!

Clarity & Conclusion: Apparently, I have a set of interconnected "problems" that cause me trouble interacting with some people. I rarely have problems with people nowadays, but it doesn't hurt to turn this rarely into a never. Here's a list of my problems: Extreme aversion to victim mentality, which trigger me to try to dissolve it every time I see it. I trained myself to be 100% responsible, so it's a habit that I can refine, because in the end it's a good habit and I don't want to get rid of it, but it sure has its negatives at the extremes. Joseph Maynor always stresses that everything has pros and cons. Nothing is absolutely positive or negative. The yin is the yang, and the yang is the yin. Tendency for crossing boundaries, which tends to increase even more with people who let down their boundaries for some reason, which is another reason why I don't like people giving me special treatment, because I have an unconscious tendency to abuse it. Looking back, I probably picked up this habit unconsciously from my parents who are always super involved in everything we do. My parents aren't good at people, and so it's no surprise that we struggle too. Assuming that my perspective is obvious to everyone else, which time keeps proving that it rarely is the case. Most people aren't as transparent and direct as I am. Combined with the two habits above, this can become disastrous sometimes. So, I assume my perspective is obvious, then I see a hint of victim mentality, so I try to push my perspective down people's throat, and when they push back and resist, that activates my boundary-crossing tendency, and you know the rest. Solutions: Distinguish between displaying your opinions strongly and pushing your perspective down people's throats. Understand that people are at different places than you are, and rarely anyone shares your opinions. But don't feel weird or alone, maybe you're just too advanced for the normal person. Understand that people have different abilities and capacities for learning. Learn to be more detached with your approach. Don't try to help unless you're asked to. You can't help anyone who is unwilling/unreceptive/not ready. Learn to communicate better, and spend more time trying to read the energy of the other person. I already have this installed, but more of it doesn't hurt. That being said, I think I already got it all fixed, so I won't be having any more problems. Watch me and see. Healing/Correction happens at an instant because time is an illusion. Maybe it's a unique ability that I possess and others don't, but it sure is a great ability. To a new life, absolutely free from social struggling.

You're not awake, Leo. You're just privileged and delusional. It doesn't matter if most other privileged people are more delusional than you are. You're still not awake. You think you're God, but that's just a projection of your privileged situation. You say other people are God too, but in reality you think that they're an extension of your "Godhood". You're not God, not even a spiritual ego. You're just a dude who's wearing spiritual ego as a mask as a survival strategy. And you're unaware that you are that.

I'm not heartless nor insensitive. I would have talked very differently if it had happened last night, but the story is 11 years old, for God's sake. However, I do realize I was perhaps more "logical" than I should have been, so I'll work on that in the future. But the problem you guys have and do not see is that you think you're being helpful by acting all-supportive and emotional, but in reality you're not doing anyone here a favor. 11 years and still unresolved trauma. Why? It's because no shift in perspective nor a recontextualization of that experience have occurred, not because there's not have been enough virtual comforting and support. Yeah, man. Shit happens, so what? I have endured a 7 years long civil war, and I was on the brink of death a number of times, literally escaping sudden death or getting permanently handicapped/dismembered by a slight margin for at least three times, once it was an air strike, and twice it was a mortar bomb, one of them hit the very next room in the neighboring building while I was asleep, and the other completely destroyed my bedroom when I went to the toilet. That's a plethora of PTSDs for ya. But you don't see me talking about that all the time, whining and complaining every time the topic of war is brought up. You may rarely see me hinting at it in my journal if you ever read it, and it might still be somehow reflecting on my behavior till this day, but you don't see me running around crying about it as if it's the end of the world. Because of how I often conduct myself, most people assume that my life is perfect and they treat me as a normal person, so when I make a mistake or talk inappropriately they respond like they would with a normal person, which is exactly what I want because that's how you return to being a normal person. I have evidence for this because I have improved in less than 5 years and am still improving, even though I endured an actual war that lasted for years, let alone the rest of my traumatic past. The truth is that I deliberately try to avoid telling my stories especially here because I know how everyone will respond. You will all try to comfort me virtually and say that you're sorry and all that empty hippy nonsense, and then I can act like a tyrant and use my stories as a defense to deflect any criticism by appealing to your morality and emotions, and you will give me excuses and leeway for being an unconscious asshole (the last one actually happened before with a mod, and it reflected poorly on me in retrospect). Hippies are so easy to manipulate. But you know what? I don't want any of that. It means nothing to me. It's not just useless, but also even harmful. Because it will keep me stuck in the past like a victim instead of helping me move on forwards towards a better future. When you tell me you're sorry I had to go through such and such, what you're communicating to me is that I have been abused, so I am permanently damaged and can't recover let alone overcome and improve, so I shall receive special treatment for the rest of my life and cater to people's sympathy instead of my own authority, and that's how you destroy every chance for recovery for me. I told some of my story once and people started giving me special treatment, which I truly hated and regretted. So by all means forget about my story and simply take the moral that I'm trying to communicate here. That a lot of victimhood is actually a mentality that you should be careful not to reinforce, because the more you reinforce it the longer it will stick with you and the worse it will get. There needs to be some balance, which I admit I might have lacked in my approach, so again I'll work on that. I believe that every experience is a learning opportunity, not a scar that you take to your grave. Take responsibility, try to see things from a different perspective, express yourself but don't take it too far, don't take things personally, etc... That's how you heal yourself and grow. At least, that's what is working for me. It's not a sweet pill to swallow, but medicine is not always sweet, and life doesn't always work like we want it to. Don't underestimate the power of mindset. It can make or break you, and I know people who got broken for much less than either of our cases here. That being said, I'll take a break from posting for a couple of days in which I will reflect and try to improve. In the meantime I will also be reading the rest of this thread if there's gonna be any. Ciao for now. I agree. That's a healthy attitude.

Guess My Number Pig Game Two mini-games I made a couple of months ago with the help of an instructor. I used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Maybe I should return to this and make some more. Maybe I should also optimize them to work better on smaller screens.
