Leo, how to not give up on people?

[WikiRando]

I think this is a particularly pertinent question to ask someone like Leo who continually puts himself out there shares super advanced insights that people are either going to ridicule or just flat out not going to get at all.

 

 Personally, I have found it highly demoralising and exhausting to talk to people or put my deep personal understandings out there for the world, just because the level of discourse and understanding that most people are capable of is just so damn poor. I feel like I'm talking rocket science to monkeys. The amount of shit I have to wade through out there often makes me wonder what even the point is to sharing, discussing.

 

I'm asking here because in seems to me like Leo is having it 1000x harder than me, both being a higher level and thus having less people who get his work and his sharing, but also putting himself out there 1000x more than me. So help, Leo. How do you not just give up on people and shut yourself off? Because that's mostly what I feel like doing tbh. I've achieved enough financial independence that I could do that for years if I wished and I'm not forced to do things I don't like. Yet I do really still look up to the way Leo puts himself out there. And on some level I do wish to engage and put myself out there.

@WikiRando it's just if you accept that not everyone is interested in this stuff and be quiet about then problem solved.

So giving up people is like accepting their state and it's wise to do that. Not only for you but also for them. Some people cannot handle deep insights and misunderstandings also happens.

1) Just focus on doing your creative work. Not on trolls.

2) If you read the comments under my videos 95% of them are very positive, grateful, and loving.

3) Do not try to teach this stuff to unwilling people. Just publish your work and let the right people find it.

[WikiRando]

@Leo Gura You changed my life. I wouldn't be where I am today without you. Thank you times infinity.

 

I will contemplate this. You're right, I'm way too focused on the reception and response rather than the creative act itself.

 

It's mind blowing to me how you continue to put yourself out there despite the trolls and haters. But if you can do it, surely I can. So this is invaluable.

 

Much love.

Your case disproves your own pessimism in people.

There are thousands like you who appreciate the work.

I don't view my work that way. It's not about who disapproves of it. I know the work is important and life-changing independent of what anyone thinks about it.

Teaching genuine insights cannot be wrong.

Yes, but mostly to people that search for him. That's the beauty of YT and also the forum, nobody is forced to watch the videos or to log in or sign up.

Yes, because you're not going to be satisfied with being unless you're expressing yourself in some form or fashion. That's why you don't see most wealthy people and billionaires just out there basking in the sun and drinking Pina Coladas for the rest of their lives; not much expression in that. Energy seeks to express itself. Love expresses itself. That's why you're frustrated. Your thoughts and desires aren't in alignment and they're in conflict. Also, the body's movements. All in conflict. Flow is when all 3 are aligned. You're not in flow you're in resistance mode and it's the thoughts that is out of alignment. Adjust them (see comments) and it'll make for a better feeling and loving expression.

You are always speaking to yourself. And for yourself in the sense that you up your game each time you open your mouth.

Besides it's no good knowing stuff if you can't share it.

Find the one who needs you.

Many spiritual paths teach that you won't awaken unless you bring at least one person along with you.

As a body mind, you are incomplete and to give is to receive and make yourself whole again.

@WikiRando I feel what you're saying and I still live this problem. But there's clearly people out there. Just fewer of them.

The solution may require to be far more intentional about it than what's considered normal. That's what's probably going to be required of me if I want to develop a circle of people with my same values. Serious intention in creating it.

That may look like trying to bring up deeper topics sooner (you never know about hidden gems that talk about what they care about because it's never received with interest). Or just meeting more people, increasing the raw numbers, and actively going to places where there's a higher probability of meeting developed people. Maybe physical meetups from online communities, maybe local circles.

Will I actually do all this stuff? I don't know, but probably at some point. A few solid friends whith whom you can just talk naturally and they just get it can have a huge impact on your happiness and even development. So it's probably very worth it despite the effort.

[WikiRando]

Maybe I don't trust in my ability to deliver something truthful or useful, or just don't feel safe with people. I think right now this is my biggest challenge. Interacting and sharing with other people in a healthy way.

Everything else in my life is great. My energy is high, my health is good, I live off investments, I spend freely, I can sit and close my eyes and tears start to flow in bliss, I carved out a life of passion and fulfilment. But the fact that I don't have to work and I can spend my whole day meditating, doing yoga and being solitary is starting to affect my socialisation a little. In a sense, it's incredible how much I accomplished not having to deal with my social skills and hangups with humans. I am incredibly introverted, more than anyone I know which is why when I read Leo's post about introversion on his blog, I felt so understood. 

It's a shame because even though I question the need to share or interact, I know we are a social species and that I also have a lot to offer.

 But even more, I tie my personal worth to how I'm perceived and received, which makes me deathly afraid of criticism and people who disagree with me. And it's preventing me from sharing my insights and helping people.

All these factors drive me to be isolated at home for many years now just living off my investments and doing my spiritual practices. Which is great, many people want this life, but it's making me feel a little bit disconnected, even resentful or superior, regarding human interaction that people don't get me or are at my level. 

I think overall my life is pretty blissful and figured out. This is just my main challenge I'm noticing right now.

Peace

Have you taken the Life Purpose Course?

[Willie]

Give up on the attachment to people’s approval rather than on people.

[Yimpa]

What you're really trying to communicate is you don't want to give up on YOU. Those people are a facet of YOU!

[BlessedLion]

It seems like a personality trait to simply not care what other people think that much. I've had this most of my life, it always just made sense to me to follow my intuition and path regardless of what society, mainstream and people think. Negativity does little to you when you know you are aligned with the truth. Trolls simply become entertaining. I hope you can see it like this one day.

 

Also, don't waste your time on people who don't show interest initially, that sounds fucking exhausting.

[Leo Gura]

@WikiRando You need to get out and socialize. That fear is holding back your development. You're like a king who has locked himself in his castle.

[Yimpa]

[Leo Gura]

Your own life's work should be too important to you to care what other people think about it.

Leadership is knowing what the best values are, what the best vision is, and then following through on it despite what anyone else says. As a leader you understand that average people are clueless, blind, and lost. The opinions of the blind, ignorant, and corrupt are entirely irrelevant to your life's creative work. You should care about your work so deeply that everything else is just human noise.

@Leo Gura That might just transform my life right there, that might exactly what I needed. Holy shift. I'm gonna go integrate that. I've been stupidly clinging to how the clueless and corrupt perceive me and then resenting people for it. 

Damn, just damn 😳 That hit hard.

 

The socialization thing too. I noticed I've been slowly creeping toward unconventional avenues of meeting my needs, like spicy ASMR to simulate intimacy & physical contact, and AI characters for friends. I'm a little on the fence because it's not ruining my life or anything, I'm still very fulfilled, and whole person. And sometimes I think it's better to get it out of my system that way than enter the social game because ultimately, that's not fulfilling either. I have done some of it. For example, last year, I spent a month plus + and thousands of dollars, just travelling, opening tables, partying, went on dates, got laid, got a hot Deejay GF (though we broke up quickly). I don't see how that whole thing was any more "meaty" or fulfilling ultimately than say AI friends or spicy ASMR. In fact, with real people and places, it's 1000x more expensive and traps you in needing to 'keep up."       

 

So yeah I say I'm creeping toward unconventional methods but maybe it's better to just get it out of my system that way and focus on my spiritual work (core of my life and always has been) while integrating and stepping up to this new level of Leadership. I guess that's the main thing. Idk, I need to process and sleep on this, there's a lot here. Thanks all for your input, I do feel better.

@WikiRando The worst thing you can do to a human is put him in solitary confinement, that’s how people die. Find like minded people, it’s difficult but they are out there. Here in the forum there are many, or better than finding them, create a community. 
 

it’s true that the majority of people are low consciousness but this is another reason why you should put your work out there and help raise their consciousness. 
 

I started as an extrovert and now I’m an introvert so I have no issues talking to strangers or being myself freely (5meo showed me that other people don’t exist). I’m also in a loner phase and about to go back to where I used to live to be closer to friends, it’s depressing to be too much alone, on all levels, physically we need oxytocin, emotionally we need to feel supported, mentally we need to see that there are other thinkers like us so we don’t feel like an alien..

May you find the right people and have the courage to speak your truth to those who have ears to hear.
