  1. There seems to a sort of taboo about admitting the death of relationship. Although everyone knows about this in their own direct experience.
  2. It is different than that lol.
  3. Do you still relate with everyone you had a relationship with in the past?
  4. If you have had someone leave you, you know how this works on the other end too. I think it is natural. We are not required to relate with the same people indefinitely. Relationship is more complex than this. And everyone does this too -- even if they do not want to admit it!
  5. There is ghosting which used to solve this issue back in the day. I'm sure most people have done this at least once.
  6. I would suggest the question here to consider is a much more practical one -- who do you want to spend your time with? There is a tendency to get real abstract here.
  7. The Self is commonly criticized and thought of as ego inflation too, you will encounter this.
  8. This right now is also theory. But it is a good pointer.
  9. I think what happens is many relationships run their course where both persons are taking each other for granted and there isn't enough novelty to adjust for that. This is very common. You can try to work on distancing, but then that becomes an issue because a relationship requires being in it.
  10. Sometimes you need to turn the page and begin a new chapter for the sake of both of you.
  11. It also seems to be taboo to create spiral stages beyond Turquoise in my experience. Many people will react to this not well. I give anyone props who propose stages beyond Turquoise.
  12. This is a really taboo subject too. Almost all people have insanity in their shadow. Especially if your ego wants or needs to identify with being sober and sane. To say one should integrate the insane would sound like fighting words to many people.
  13. It is kind of taboo because it is seen as a stage purple shadow or an aspect of premodernity.
  14. Notice how magic and imagination sound similar. Someone needs to do a good video on this topic.
  15. It is not really funny though. It is a power move.
  16. This also applies if you know someone a long time too.
  17. Am I the only one who hates texting?
  18. But when you are in a relationship responsibility does not work the same way as when you apply it to yourself. It is more complex and involves trust, which varies.
  19. I hate to say this but what I'm starting to realize is it is easier to blame your failures on someone else than realize you would have failed anyway without that excuse.
  20. People are going to manipulate you when you are in relation. You have to watch out for this.
  21. How would you know this? You have to explore this for yourself.
  22. High IQ people do not seem very wise to me, just sayin'. There are obviously exceptions.
  23. The no you and the no who point of view.
