Im on the nurture side of the debate...

Jain symbol, sign of peace.

The dating section is the worst part of this forum imo, it brings out all the toxic Orange i cant stand, gotta work on myself so i can accept that too...

The problem with this is that its essentialism. It supposes that every single woman follows the same pattern like a robot. Which is not true.

Sigh...

Its not just for men, its a societal expectation, alot of women feel ugly, empty, or "wrong" when they go without make-up so it becomes a habit, its so ingrained. I tend to think the "Im just expressing myself" thing is complete bullshit, they do it because of beauty standards, they have to do it. Just like how men have to be muscular, masculine and tough. Ask yourself this. Why do you have to paint your face to show it in public? Im not bashing women here, Im actually on your side. You should be free to do what you want but youre not.

Great list! Id like to add Search For Modern China, its a great book about China from 1500s-1990, I highly recommend it.

Yes it does, Im an ego right now, it might be an illusion though, like a mirage in the desert, I dont know yet though, not woke yet. But just because its an illusion doesnt mean that it doesnt exist as an illusion.

Yep, living with a narcissist I have felt my fair share of that.

Must watch!

Follow the damn thread CJ!

This is gonna be an interesting 5-day debate.

This forum has been so salty lately.

How do you know you are sane right now?

Such an interesting topic, Leo should do a video on this, Im not looking to add anything to the conversation but I want to see where this goes.

Lol, I cant tell if this is a meme or real.

If you have a serious bone to pick with stupidity then you need to do some serious Shadow Work. Someone probably told you you were stupid as a child and now you have cut that part off within and not allowed yourself to be stupid, embrace your stupidity, youll find that the world moves on anyway, it wasnt so bad after all.

Yes, but SD is not everything, its just one lens, I could have just as easily found a Green therapist that didnt connect well with me.

I dont think so. Only connection and intuition, I never even considered my therapists spiral stage, she just connected well with me off the bat.

Who are you asking? If you want to find out if the sun is shining go outside. Your ego wants comfort by asking someone else, you have been culturally conditioned to believe in object permanence, so you rely on culture to keep you sane. Here, grab a cup. Put it behind your back. Does the cup exist right now in your direct experience? Dont think about the cup. Just look. Is there a cup in your experience when its behind your back?
