Something Funny

I didn't read much past the 1st book, what happened?

Do you realise that people do not act like computers?

@Leo Gura do you think it is realistic to expect people to finally evolve enough for all those pointless conflicts to end by the end of the 21st century?

@Shadowraix don't you think that it's kind of entitled to seriously complain about this sports issue? It's one thing to fight for your rights to marriage, or having children, or for being treated with decency and respect. And another to complain that someone doesn't want to play football with you. Lets say trans women won't be allowed to play in women's leagues, why is that such a big deal? You believe that you should be treated totally the same as ordinary women so you find that excluding you from female sports is offensive and not nice. Fine. But do you think that other people have to 100% play along with you beliefs and values? Do you think it is a realistic expectation? In you personal life, do you expect to have a 100% perfect relationship with every single person that you meet? How is this different from christians or muslims wanting to push their beliefs on everyone else. Do you think that as a society, where a lot of people believe in a lot of different things, some compromises should be made? Also, it's not even an issue of whether you are viewed as a real woman or not. You are legit physically stronger. So it's just a practical issue. If strength wise you are closer to men than to women, it's only fair that you play with men. It's like a 120kg boxer complaining that he can't fight 50kg boxers. It has nothing to do with society not being inclusive of heavyweight boxers. It just makes the sport unfair.

@AerisVahnEphelia you've missed the point @StarStruck what karma?

@Leo Gura how do I keep asking her out on dates while also pretneding to be indifferent?

@funkychunkymonkey I don't know how to translate that, sorry

I didn't say that I am nice

@mr_engineer dude, who are you talking about? You are not nice, you have no moral goodness. Just recently, you have started a thread where you called everyone who you didn't agree with a simp, left and right. Is that what niceness looks in your opinion. Also, have you ever hear anyone say 'If you have to tell us that you're nice, you're not nice' in real life? Have you considered getting out of your dreamworld, maybe?

@funkychunkymonkey how do you block a barbell to the head?

How do you know that ypu are not twisting the scripture the way you want it to be? How do you know that those bibleref guys are not twisting the scripture the way they want it to be? How do you know that the original meaning of his words wasn't lost in translation over 2000 years? How do you know that it was interpreted correctly when it was first heard? After all, if you believe the above paragraphs, he said it during the stoning. It must have been quite a public freakout with lots of people arguing and shouting. Adding to the point above, how do you know that Jesus didn't believe that other people are also one with god? Maybe he just didn't mention it at the moment. "I am one with the God" and "you are one with the god" are not mutually exclusive statements. Finally, how do you know that this John guy is trustworthy and isn't twisting Jesuses words the way he wants them to be? It doesn't say "Jesus 10:30", it says "John 10:30"

So basically Jesus was saying the same thing that Leo and other people here are saying "I am God". That makes me think that ironically, they are closer to the core of what Jesus taught than christians are.

@MAHAVATAR_-_BABAJI what is a meaning behind this weird profile pick? Do you guys really enjoy constantly looking at your ugly profile pics?

@flowboy anyway, fuck you. I am not going to engage with you anymore. I am adding you to the ignore list.

@flowboy to clarify. My issue is not that you haven't read enough books. My issue is that you are a money hungry, two faced, prick. Who pretends to be very nice but actually looks down on people. And I guess you have shown your true colors and your quality as a person to everyone, in this conversation, by repeatedly trying to put me down and call me names even though I have been trying to avoid doing the same to you up until now.

@flowboy and I never claimed to have the real answers, unlike you. I didn't even talk to you. I shared my perspective with the op without tagging you or anything. And pointed out that this is just my personal experience. But somehow you are still trying to debate me on which one of us is more knowledgeable. At least I am not running around a forum claiming to be a coach. So I am not sure why you feel the need to compare your level of knowledge to mine? Sure, you know more than me about it, cause it's not my profession. So what? I know more about logistics than you do. Let's have a debate about temperature controlled reefers, lol.

@flowboy And no, and I don't actually have an issue with coaches in general or with the self-help. I really admire Leo. I really admire my current coach. It's pricks like you that I have a problem with. You say I am attacking you. But I was actually the one who tried apologising first and ending the conflict. And you have been consistently trying to demean me and call me names, lol. I suggest you take a screenshot of your responses to me. And put them in a frame on a wall behind you when you are doing your coaching calls, so that you clients know who they are dealing with.

@flowboy oh you didn't? I confused you with someone else? Dude, I literally still have our conversation on this forum. And unlike you, I don't mass approach life coaches on here so it's hard for me to confuse you with someone since you are the only one I had this kind of conversation. Maybe you are the one who got blurry on the details after talking to hundreds of people? Here, let me remind you: Rings a bell? You yourself called it "a short 10 minute call". Guess which one of us is full of shit, lol.

@flowboy there is this food delivey service in Europe, called Wolt. It's an Ubereats / Doordash analog. And their fucking customer support is more humane and empathetic than you are.

@flowboy oh wow. I wanted to stop this argument. And even made a first step. But since you want to continue, then lets go... Forum members can, in fact, contribute to the forum if they feel like it. It doesn't have to be THEIR forum, for them to do this. This is why the report button exists for example. Also, I wasn't going to police anything. I wasn't going to bring this up with anyone. I just wanted to point it out. But, if you insist, I guess I will ask the moderators team their third party opinion on the issue. Hmm, I wonder where. I wasn't really bitter at you originally. Just kind of sad and disappointed. *** You are calling me entitled for wanting free stuff. But I didn't come begging to you for life advise. You DMed me yourself! You pretended to emphasize with me, had me share some of my major insecurities and worries with you. All just to pitch me your coaching. And I mean, when you offered me a call and I agreed to it, I knew, that you were probably going to do something like that at some point. I was even open to that idea. But then I was shocked by how direct and impersonal it was, I guess. You basically listened to me describing what I struggled with for 5 minutes and than proceeded to offer me you coaching for a 1000 bucks. That's all it was. Oh, and you also shared a few of your youtube videos with me. That's not called "trying to help someone". That's called a sales funnel. You even sent me a few follow up texts after I started ignoring you, as if I was a part of your email newsletter, lol. Such, such a caring friend. *** But now I got annoyed because of you repeatedly talking down to me and trying to demean me by pointing out how superior your knowledge is. And we started talking about coaches and stuff, so I decided to bring it up. Idk, maybe you had friends and family who charged you an hourly rate for spending time with you, but that's not what it looks like when someone sincerely care about you. My interaction with you can be basically broken down into: 1. Cold approach You: Hey man, I really resonated with your post, what's up Me: Idk, kind of feeling like shit. You: Oh no, why is that? Me: well, I am really bothered by this thing and this thing You: yeah, that makes total sense man. I understand why you would feel this way. Anyway, I am actually helping people deal with this kind of stuff. If you want we can have a 10 minute call and I can give you some tips. Me, thinking to myself: shit, he just wants to sell me his course or something. Well, whatever, lets see where it goes. 2. The sales pitch We have a call. I share my story a little bit -> you try to sign me up for paid sessions You might have given me some self-help tips which I don't remember by know (thank you, there is such a shortage of them on the internet), when I mostly just wanted some empathy and connection. 3. The newsletter I decide to just quietly ignore you after the call. While you are sharing your youtube videos, podcasts, and 7 day retreats with me. *** THIS IS NOT WHAT ACTUALLY CARING AND TRYING TO HELP A PERSON LOOKS LIKE. That's why I said "pretend". I mean. No. The issue is not you having a service that you charge money for. The issue is our whole interaction being your sales funnel. If you actually cared, and bothered to spend time being a friend to me, just emphasizing, no need for some fancy self-help advise. And then were like: "Btw, I have those paid coaching sessions. If you ever feel like working on you situation more in depth, feel free to ask me about it if you will be interested" Then I would have no problem with it. I would also have no problem with you just straight up DM-ing me and being like: "hey man, I am offering this coaching program for 1000 bucks. I saw you post and thought that you might be interested". What bothers me is you playing these stupid games. And, up until this point, still trying to gaslight me into thinking that you somehow deeply cared about me. Oh, thank you. The next time I go for a "free chat with a car salesman" I will make sure to express my gratitude for him making this huge sacrifice and "making time for me", for purely altruistic reason. And even smiling at me Do you want me to give you a medal or something? Which is what? I am curious, what exactly do you think you gave me? What is "more"? Oh no, now I am going to regret this decision for the rest of my life. Yeah, and then you wonder why you have communication issues when you talk like that. You wrote all this based on what? Me saying two sentences about self-love? One of which wasn't even addressed to you. You have no idea what I mean by self-love. You have no idea what I mean by practicing self-love. You have no idea what my beliefs are, what teaching and methods I am following, what my practice is. You have no idea what I am coping with, what I am not coping with, what I am paying money for, what I am learning. You are the one making ad-hominem attacks at me through my imaginary coping strategies. You are just projecting your own bullshit beliefs onto me. You even claim that you have "real answers", lol. I see that being too humble is not an issue for you.

@flowboy I was too harsh, sorry.

And yeah, Self-Love IS the highest teaching in the Universe. It's a shame that you don't get this.

Oh well, at least my teacher actually achieved something in her own life and has a direct experience of what she is talking about. And so does Leo actually. Maybe that's why they now don't have to invade other people's forums to hunt for customers. You seem like a perfect example of someone who became successful by starting to teach other people how to become successful.

@flowboy Oh, do not worry. I have no issue with paying for the services that I get. I've paid all my therapists for their sessions. I am paying my current teacher for sessions with her. And I have also bought a bunch of courses and self-help books. What really makes me sick though, is the audacity to proactively seek out a person who is in pain, pretend to be a caring friend, just wanting to help, and then try to pitch them your product while they are in this vulnerable, emotional state. Actually, I am not sure if your signature and what you are doing doesn't violate forum rules about no self-promotion. This forum is not for you to run up to people and try to sell them your coaching sessions like a trader selling watermelons at marketplace. Oh wow, so now you have gone and started a full on attack on my education level and financial situation. I guess this really show the quality of person that you are. Well, I am sorry for being such a plebs compared to you, professor.
