Canceled: personal stories

[Alexop]

I would like to hear some stories about how you got canceled by your dates or by a snowflake mob. 

It happened so many times to me that I decide to create an alter ego. A personality that avoids talking politics, being too masculine, expressing power, frustrations, and "too much knowledge".

[Whitney Edwards]

@Alexop do you do specific exercises for being too masculine or expressing power and can you give examples on how you go about it? 

[Alexop]

I got a very hard childhood and accumulated frustrations, and now I still express frustrations with power and "masculinity". Because of this I sometimes say stuff in a way that can sound offensive or "conservative". I am also an intorvert and get annoyed when stupid people take over the whole group and talk some bullshit story for 2 hours that I don't care about, so frustration pushes me to behave uncalibrated.

I am also very passionate about personal development, but I have to accept that almost nobody is as passionate as I am, so I have to learn to keep it for myself. Most people are dogs, they just love to piss on walls and lick their balls.

It is pretty embarrasing when I think about it. I solved some really dark issues of mine but this slipped my  mind, I just wanted to beleive people are genuinely interested in the stuff we do here. But they don't, and even most people who follow Leo, they just waste thier time.

I got cancelled over a rape joke once (at a party). Got written up with the accusation that I'm sexist and had to come to a hearing and everything. It took a month and a half to get the paper work done before they cleared me. They couldn't find the sexist in me. Completely ridiculous.

Snappy. No curiosity in things that you aren't directly interested in. One-sided conversations about your passion. Generally abrasive. Sounds like autism.

Some level of lack of calibration is okay. Even necessary. As we don't want to be too conformist. Diverse perspectives are always difficult to entertain. Like they say, you can't please everyone. 

What you can do is find like minded people. A healthy dose of conservatism is actually good.

@Basman i am quite a calibrated person, it is just the first meeting where it is a bit snappy. When I meet someone the first time I tell stuff about myself, you know my passions and stuff. And it gets awkward because I have so much interesting stuff to say, and they don't. They just are some random boring rats. They feel dominated

If being canceled is a regular problem in your life, you may need to do some self-reflection.

It is not as bad as you think. But yes, I do self-reflect all the time. I won't call my behavior pathological. I am different, and different can be intimidating for people. Avoiding people based on some prejudice or some opinion is pathological imo.

I come from a world where we did not get offended by opinions an political views.

Certain internet posts I've made got a bunch of backlash but in real life I've never been "cancelled" because I don't hang around people who believe in that. My friends hold authenticity and being uncensored as our top values. The people that would "cancel" us were probably repelled by us in the first place haha

Hahah. Good one. A bit hard to find such people in this Swedish post-modern nonsense culture, and those people are usually excess Stage Orange with whom it just doesn't click from both sides. People need to understand what balance is.
