Animals accept reality as it is, they dont worry and feel incomplete, leading to chasing objects like humans with an intellect do. But, believe what you'd like.

Also, "animals are not plagued by the usual thought/emotional patterns that limit humans: guilt, shame, regret, lack of self-esteem, to name a few. Animals have no power to analyze or think other than in terms of their desires. Therefore animals do not interpret their environment; they do not evaluate the things that happen to them, in them and around them. Animals act purely by “instinct" " Shingworld.com

Ok, let's even look at the human baby. There is no ego at birth. Its developed. There's a change in the eyes of a child when ego takes hold... Animals simply don't develop anything more than a simplistic rudimentary sense of self for survival and in that sense I would call them "programs". A dog behaves like a dog, cat behaves like a cat, etc.

Makes sense, thanks!

@DrewNows So, when one recognizes the part of themself they are attracted to in another, that they have denied, rejected or pushed away, any ideas how to integrate at that point? Or do you think just be open to it and make it conscious at that point?

@Nivsch They don't have an ego aka they aren't body/mind "identified" with being a cat, dog, whatever.

I love this!❤ Yes, marinate yourself in self love

1st) A true willingness to let the depression go. It becomes an identity we sorta cling to as soon as we become some what unhappy. 2nd) A willingness to do whatever it takes to rid yourself of the depression. Even if it includes temporary talk therapy, medication, yoga, whatever. 3rd) Seek out this help and stick with it! I speak from experience, so not lecturing you.❤

You should talk to him about it if your concerned. Ppl do hurt themselves, it happens. Usually ppl say they had no clue and wish they could've done something, but often its too late. Cries for help happen when the person still wants help, so if you are getting a bad vibe...listen to it. If your wrong, so what. I'd rather be wrong, than do nothing if your right, right?

Studying in college and now with home care charting. I sometimes like to do it at diner-type restaurants and fast food joints. The soda keeps flowing and I like just a bit of background noise.?

I am the wisest human alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.

Well, its just an interview at this point and this opportunity has come to you for some reason, even if its for you to get very clear what it is you really do want ...and don't want. So, if you decide not to go on the interview make sure you won't regret that decision. I personally would go and just see what happens. If the job is offered to you, you could request to shadow the position for a day to see what its actually about. I recently did this myself. Btw, what field are you in, may I ask?

I think you should tell all of this to your parents and let them help you.

Careful, because you could actually push her closer to him. Seems counterintuitive, but it happens.

Oh, sorry... well, perhaps work through it would be better to suggest, then letting it go, because yes, letting it go is about the same as forget about it and doubt you're ready for that. Aww, well, it can really be a good thing if you find a good therapist.

Thank you❤ I've had much success in work and business recently, but shitty luck in emotional stability and relationships. It's really torn me up and Im struggling daily. So, thanks for the reminders.

Love him/hate him doesn't really matter since its in the past. You need to let it go, to really be able to move forward with your life. However you were, there was a reason for it, maybe the reason no longer exists for you? If that's the case, then perhaps you can drop it. That won't serve you, it won't help you to judge how you were, so that you can beat yourself up some more. You might need some therapy, to move on, dunno?

@DrewNows Nice video, interesting.

@Pudgey Thanks! @Proactive Well, its been rough, but there's a silver lining, so its okay!?
