  1. Dunno, I'd draw the line intuitively. Sure, that's just plain stupid if true. It most likely would. If I noticed that, it'd be a red flag. But I don't know whether that was the case with the girl from OP's story. It could also happen that a mind perceives someone as "completely uninformed yet judgmental" when that person doesn't share their perspective on some matter. You know, a defense mechanism. I'd be careful with making such assessments about others. And when You're triggered by judgementality, there's probably some in You... Fairs. Overall I think we're mostly in agreement. ?‍♂️ No reason to split hairs. Or at least I don't want to anymore.
  2. Depends on what You mean by "really misaligned". If let's say she was into conspirational thinking and hating jews (I assume that's what You mean by strong opinions about them), no I wouldn't be fine with it. That'd say a lot about her level of development to me, even though I don't give a damn about jews. But if for example she didn't like Leo specifically and held strong negative opinions about him, of course I wouldn't fucking care. Even though I really like Leo's teachings. I don't think it's fair to equate strong opinions about Jews and Musk lol. Besides I told the guy that his attachment to Musk is something to work through and he agreed. Yes, no attachment towards some figure or bullshit like that is necessary. Burn it all to the ground. No I'm not in a relationship but I am close to people that have very different beliefs than me. And my relationships are becoming more and more loving, the more work I am doing. I don't think same beliefs are that important. You simply don't have to talk about everything with a person, who cares. Stick to what You have in common.
  3. Unwarranted interrogating people in the mental health subforum will not be tolerated.
  4. Fuck these "friends". But at the same time, grow a thicker skin. If You're unsure of yourself, You are easy to troll and make fun of. What if You were like: "Yeah, I do love philosophy, because I do want to live the good life. No it's not mental jerk off, it is learning how to live well. And this Leo dude has taught me a lot. If You don't want to follow him it's fine, but I will." Be more confident!
  5. Hey, I'm sorry dude. Feelings like this come up and it's fucking difficult. But You'll land back on your feet. You'll handle it, have faith!
  6. Type "@" and the first letters of the name, suggestions will come up and You have to click one of them. I'm doing this on desktop @Sincerity
  7. Chill out guys, don't make it personal.
  8. Bruh hahahaha. Your insecurity is skewing your perspective, a lot. Maybe I'll add that a woman's attitude towards a man is also telling of her attitude towards life. It doesn't just go one way. You should realize it always comes back to You. It's always about You. YOU. YOU. YOU. Your attitudes, your shortcomings, your life. It's not about deflecting "onto the man" You ding dong. Simply look at YOURSELF!
  9. I think that to a large degree a man's attitude towards a woman is telling of his attitude towards life/reality in general.
  10. Who said anything about psychopathy though
  11. Good luck in life then. It's a "constant battle" to You only if You perceive it that way. I'll say to You that this is a weak mentality. There is a lot of difficulty in life and You can either see it as a challenge to go through or a constant battle like You say. You decide the frame.
  12. I like this guy. And I'm happy I heard this. Of course I feel called out haha. I will be taking longer breaks from the forum (and social media in general) in the future. I won't be announcing them. In the past I feel like I definitely cared about the forum a lot more, even in unhealthy ways. In general I'd say I cared too much about the states of communities in my life like my family, groups of friends, et cetera. Now I find that I'm becoming more self-oriented and I don't care about others as much. That's good for me I feel.
  13. Oh I love it and I hate it at the same time. Most accurate description of how I feel about my path. Ups and downs all along. Sometimes it just feels so difficult and confusing. I could never explain it but there's SO MUCH shit happening. Almost every day it's something new, some new shift in perspective, some new low. So many times I'm like "wait, I went through this just 3 days ago?!". Each week is so long, and yet it passes so quickly. I've been doing shadow work in the recent months. I'm using many different techniques - journaling, active imagination, dream analysis, allowing parts of me to speak with each other by talking out loud, during a walk for example. This last one is so interesting. I'm walking for like an hour and sides of me are arguing with each other. Sometimes it gets intense and there's shouting namecalling and all that. But I'm learning to approach myself more lovingly and it makes a huge difference. The immense value of listening, civilized dialogue, compromise, democracy... See, it is obvious that listening to others is important, that You shouldn't namecall and berate people, etc... But when it comes down to parts of YOU talking with each other, it is a different story. Or your inner talk in general. Most people don't give a shit about the fact that they're condenscending to themselves. Because it's just themselves, right? Yeah, I can be a fucking dick to me without consequences. I can and will utterly disrespect myself, after all who's going to hold me accountable? Such an attitude is so often very deeply ingrained and largely unconscious. We know that we should treat others well, but we allow ourselves to treat ourselves like garbage. And OF COURSE your attitude towards yourself will spill into your relations with others! Because You "knowing" that You "should" treat others well isn't worth a fuck! Anytime You face too much pressure and get furious your facade is going to collapse and You WILL act out, sooner or later. I think the key is really learning the consequences of being a dick to yourself. Let different parts of You talk to each other and watch the mess that will unfold when they disrespect one another. The lesson will be that it's simply not worth it. "We can do better." It's funny to me that when You're in conflict with someone, the obvious solution is to, You know... resolve the differences, talk about it. Well, when You're in conflict with yourself, why not speak with yourself in the same way?! It's easy, just split yourself into two and speak from one side, then respond from the other side and so on until there's no more conflict. The goal is most often compromise. BOTH sides have to evolve in some way. This is important, BOTH!!! Not just the "lower" one, the more selfish one, the more petty and childish one. Some of these parts of me are so fucking petty it's amazing really. But it is what it is! None of these parts of me are me. This is a crucial point. Before I split myself into two and let the dialogue unfold, I take a moment to remember what I am really. Not this, not that. Then I can proceed. And when the conversation is over, I recall what I am again. it's important to not get lost in these personalities, energies, points of view, however You wanna call them. I am so empty and yet so full of different energies. I strive to just observe them and be a good man of the house. If I don't accept them I'm bound by them and literally fucked. Respect towards these different parts is so important, otherwise they will run through me unconsciously and perhaps cause a lot of damage. Of course it's always only my fault. It is my responsibility to turn the eye of consciousness on them as much as I can muster. I wrote quite a lot lol. This is all exciting for me I'll admit. I'm really learning a LOT of lessons. I haven't even touched on dream work / active imagination and there is so much there. Maybe another time. (who am I kidding, too much explaining and writing... or maybe? idk) I want this fractured mirror to be whole again. ENOUGH with the division. We WILL be one and You WILL love it! I'm joking of course, forcing them never works haha. But I can kill them with love. TASTE MY LOVE YOU SWEET HONEY BUNCHES! (Still hate / scared of some of these motherfuckers in me but I'll get over it lol)
  14. I didn't like the plot but still it was comedy gold, loved the humour haha. 8 out of Ken. Hiiii Barb-... uhm, Bazooka!!!
  15. Fair enough But I'll just say, this Elon Musk thing wouldn't bug You if You weren't attached to him in some way. I'd say a big part of this work is not needing to convince others and just letting people believe whatever they want, without feeling annoyed one bit. It's a sign for You that there's something there to process, no attachment is ever necessary. Also I'm sorry I went overboard with being a dick.
  16. Lol no it doesn't go against your "values", if You can't handle an opposing view You are just weak and don't want to grow. Learn to handle conflict and don't avoid it for the sake of superficial "peace". This isn't peace, this is weakness covered with a blanket. A strongly masculine man will usually attract a strongly feminine woman and yes because of this there will probably be conflict, but as a man You can decide to handle it and embrace it. If You want a mellow woman who doesn't give You a challenge You are probably mellow yourself, which is fine if it's true. But are You REALLY mellow, or do You just have inadequacies & limiting beliefs about women and yourself that are inhibiting your masculine energy? Consider the option that maybe, just maybe You're lying to yourself on a very deep level and You're denying parts of You with your beliefs. If I had to guess I'd say that You think You value peace but in reality You'd crave a passionate relationship in which she's feminine towards You. It's so easy to bullshit yourself, never underestimate it. I bullshit myself all the fucking time. I recommend You read The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida. Maybe I'll respond to your other 2 points later but idk too much writing
  17. You will regret such a shameless egocentric attitude someday. Confidently expressed opinion isn't necessarily dogmatism. Moreover confidence in opinion and self is certainly attractive to a lot of people. It is especially valued in a man. You can't be a leader and not be confident in what You think. Why would anyone trust You if You can't even believe yourself? If You are tilted by a woman having a strong opinion (especially opposing to yours) You are most likely insecure. Also in general if You are tilted because of an specific opposing opinion it's probably YOU being dogmatic. The guy would not care at all if the girl had a strong opinion about something unrelated to him. But it was about Elon Musk, lol. Next thing she talks shit about Andrew Tate and he won't even care about getting laid with her anymore.
  18. Oh no, woman had strong opinions... I'm really sorry You had to suffer through this bro. How come she didn't understand that You were the MAN and she should just stay quiet? Indeed very unattractive. Stupid b*tch. Again I'm sorry You experienced this. AT LEAST she had some good sides too, gosh... I'm sure You will find better quality women in the future (who won't voice their stupid opinions). I'll be sending You a positive intention, be on the lookout.
  19. Oh my God. Do You seriously believe your bullshit? Come on man lol.
  20. Changed "donated" to "to donate" in title to avoid spreading misinformation.
  21. Agree and disagree. Reality has nothing in common with any knowledge of it. The latter is all construct. And yet I think there is "better" and "worse" knowledge/understanding. The world does have a "role" in the construction of knowledge - after all, understanding is based ON the world! All knowledge is relative to IT. Disagree. Of course there is absolute truth. THIS, NOW. But if we're talking about knowledge about the world... yeah, just perspective. I'm not sure what's implied by physical reality. Physics is consciousness. It is "an objective reality outside of ourselves"? Then I agree, that's a construct and there is no reality to that. Is it PHYSICAL REALITY, RIGHT NOW? Then I disagree. Agree and disagree. See answer to question #1. There is better and worse science (I think), and yet they're all equally invalid.
