Raphael

The feminine part.

The loving part? The caring part? The self-accepting part? The feminine part? The mother part? The sister part?

What is this part?

There's a part of my personality who is trying to get back to the surface. A part of me who have been denied since too long.

People know me without knowing me. Who is @Raphael ? Oh just this guy who stays alone all the time.

During all these years I barely shared anything about me, only 3% - 4% of who I am. This is similar to my attitude in real life: I'm here without being here, I exists without existing.

@Raphael This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. This is ok, I love you. Alright, this is alright, this is alright, everything is gonna be alright. Everything is alright, everything is alright, everything is alright, everything is alright, everything is alright, everything is alright, everything is alright, everything is alright. This is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this alright. @Raphael Breath... just breath This is alright, everything is ok, everything is going to be ok. This is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright. This is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright, this is alright.

It always comes back to the same feeling: the feeling of not being enough. From the outside I'm a normal human being, probably in the top 20% of what is supposed to be healthy. Most people have a good opinion of me, yet there's still this feeling of not being enough. This insecure ego hides itself behind anything that it can: Good look: look at how good looking I am, I'm better than you Bad look: look at how bad looking I am, I'm better than you for being not good looking Muscles: look at how muscular I am, you are so weak Intellect: look at how intellectual I am, you are so dumb Being dumb: look at how dumb I am, you are bad for being intelligent Spirituality: look at how spiritual I am, I don't have anything to do with non-spiritual people Online journaling: look at how much I journal and how much practical journals I create Work, Discipline, Organization: look at how much organized, disciplined, and hard working I am Insecurity: look at how insecure I am Confidence & Self-Esteem: look at how confident and how much self-esteem I have Self-acceptance: look at how self-accepting I am, you are bad for not being as self-accepting as me Being fucked: look at how fucked up I am Running fast: look at how fast I run Stage Yellow: look how much stage Yellow I am God: yeah, I'm God. I'm better than anyone cause I'm God It is a feeling of importance coming from a feeling of un-importance.

I'm am exhausting this feeling, it takes time but I am exhausting it. I had and still have some forum ego. I used this forum to get the attention that I didn't got when I was a kid, I did it by creating journals like the ones below. Now, there's nothing good or bad about that, what matters is that it comes from an healthy place. In my case the feeling behind these journals was: "Look at how self-actualizing I am, look at how much work I put in. I'm showing you publicly how much self-actualizing I am, how much disciplined, how much I work, how much serious I am".

Going back to this forum earlier than expected and trying to deconstruct it is exactly what backsliding means. While creating this thread, i had this feeling: "Look at how good I am, I have the capacity to deconstruct actualized.org". I don't even know if I want to do that anymore, I'm a bit confused and disoriented. One thing that I am sure is that doing some shadow work on Leo is going to be useful. The first time that I watched one of his videos I was frightened by the similarities between me and him. It felt like being face to face with my clone, it felt like talking to myself.

By unhealthy, I don't necessarily mean super depressed and having serious issues but average or below average. This is the majority of any society.

What is the structure behind actualized.org? How is actualized.org social matrix interconnected to other social matrices? How is actualized.org social matrix works as a sub holon of the greater social matrix? Who is attracted to actualized.org? What similarities do people here share with Leo? What similarities do I share with Leo? What's the structure of Leo? How does Leo as a system interacts with other systems?

So they are many different ways of being attracted and using this forum: Being traumatized and relieving some traumas again and again Being in a difficult situation and learning and growing with others Escaping real-life problems Finding like-minded people Learning about life Having fun etc. But the question that interest me is: Where's the majority of people? There's always more unhealthy people than healthy people, there always more people who need care than caregivers. But does this dynamic applies to this forum? It seems to be the case:

It's also possible to be at a difficult place at the beginning and learn and grow (if we are careful of avoiding the BS)

I think I might be projecting my bias here. I got on this forum because I wanted to sort out my life, but some people can be attracted because they are interested in Politics, in Nutrition, or in Systems Thinking for example. They just want to learn and this is healthy. However, I still consider that spending an entire year without at least a 3 month break unhealthy.

Another reason is simply to find like-minded people to talk about Green+ things as this is difficult IRL.

One of the reason why we may be attracted to this forum is because it brings us face to face to our deepest fears. It's possible to stay stuck here and to relieve our traumas again and again and again without being conscious of it. It ain't a good sign to be there for too long.

@soos_mite_ah Perfectly understandable And you are aware of it and you are bringing self-acceptance which is a very strong move considering that. It might be a bit difficult but you are making progress and this is remarkable.

I hope you'll achieve it.

He is very good at articulating ideas.

Loooool! What's wrong with being bitchy, angry, sad, or upset, or ugly, or stupid?

From my experience so far having a break from this forum can be very relieving. Staying there for too much time without taking a break can have a huge toll on someone's mental health. I don't know exactly how's your situation and I understand that if you can't express yourself IRL this place can be like a new family but having some time off feels great. Try to have at least a 2 month break if it's possible for you.

I'm pretty skinny. I think that this is mostly because of my genetics even though I consider that my mom didn't nourished me properly during a period of my life. I also rarely felt hunger in my entire life, this is an almost unknown sensation for me. I eat a good quantity of food, but I just don't take any weight.

Notion is amazing. It allows you to take really clean notes and on top of that organize your entire life with advanced features such as: Calendars, Kanban Boards, Databases, etc. I also thought about using Obsidian to better interconnect my thoughts, but I don't think I'll use it for the moment.

Let's say that I have to make a decision that is out of integrity. This decision is out of integrity in the moment but then in the long term will allow me to be much more in touch with myself and my values. How do I make this decision?
