    One of the biggest mistakes I made in relationships and even a mistake I recently made was to allow red flags to continue because they don’t really affect me.

    There are a lot of things in relationships that because I’m so relaxed and don’t really take anything personally that I allow it to slide.

    This is healthy overall, but if your partner is continuously taking more and more ground to dump their emotions onto you and use you as a target, then they will slowly overtime continue to escalate until they essentially criticizing you over every little detail. People will continue to take more ground if you let them..

    Even if you’re unaffected by many things thats occurring in a relationship, you always have to set boundaries so that things don’t escalate. It’s healthy for everyone.

    A boundary is one where when they cross that boundary, you have to enforce it.

    example: you did the laundry and then the buzzer goes off and now you need to move the laundry from the washer to the dryer, and in less than 10 minutes, your partner is criticizing you for being lazy for not immediately getting up from whatever you were doing to handle the laundry. They then repeat this type of criticism for every detail. Continuously accusing you of irresponsibility whenever they see the chance. Throughout the day, they find anything in your behaviour to criticize and tear you down. Every day.

    This is a very common pattern but it doesn’t happen overnight. It normally escalate slowly as your partner continues to take more ground.

    I don’t know the best way to enforce a boundary, but you should know what your boundaries are and when they’re crossed and not to take it lightly. Because it will escalate and ruin the relationship if you let it. Once things escalate it is very hard to go back.

    if you guys have suggestions on how to enforce a boundary a healthy way, please give suggestion! 😅

    In very poor countries families often sell their children to wealthy people who promised them they will live a better life.

    The truth is they are exploited for brutal forms of … it’s then recorded and put on the Internet. They never see the light of day again.

    Happens every day.

    if you have sufficient imagination you could easily imagine some of the worst unbearable suffering and bring yourself to tears.

    Music will tell you what emotion to feel during your flow state of thinking and experiencing.

    I don’t like feeling metal music emotions. Or that specific experience it’s telling me to have. I don’t experience life from the perspective metal music wants me to experience from. Or I’m judging that experience As wrong.

    it’s like being forced to hallucinate that you’re 100% a Maga Trump supporter.

    Music preference is mostly due to parts of culture that you’re rejecting, club music is associated with low orange bro music, rappers associated with red kind of gangster culture and abuse, classical is associated with higher education and complexity and intelligence, spiritual music is associated what connecting with consciousness or hippie states.

    Your identity is having a crisis when you hear music you don’t like.

    Many forms of music are rejected young that don’t  align with your identity.

    Most of Leo’s music is very club inspired and synthetic electric instruments, And auto tune that I can’t stand.

    Because growing up I rejected these types of instruments because they were used my low consciousness people to make cheap bro music found in clubs.that they would play Blasting in their car thinking they’re cool.

    Music preferences the parts of culture your ego has the most resistance to.

    but there’s people that have no music preference and these lunatics you have to watch out for 😅. it can come from a Low perspective of not having any discernment or awareness growing up of culture or sound or of your own identity or could come from a Higher perspective of total acceptance.

    Working a full-time job is modern slavery for most people.

    They’re working to benefit the one percent who owned the company they’re working at.

    All for one, none for all.

    It’s compounded when you do not have a financial education and don’t understand how money works. So the money you make is pissed away living paycheque to paycheck, accumulating debt, accumulating lease, accumulating loans, not investing, not doing anything a rich person would do, selling your soul to a 30 year high interest mortgage. Having multiple children before financial stability, getting a divorce and losing half your inherited wealth. It never ends.

    And it comes across as silly and pompous that you view your perspective as more holistic just because you view selective anecdotes from people who agree with you as more reflective of truth than controlled studies and meta-analyses that directly measure the physiological impacts of different diets on a variety of people.

    Approach health decisions by integrating multiple sources of information:

    Scientific research - treated as valuable but imperfect data points

    Personal experiences - both your own trials and careful self-observation

    Others' experiences - learning from both successes and failures

    Clinical evidence - viewed alongside real-world outcomes

    No single source holds absolute truth. Each offers partial insights that can inform personal health choices. Test approaches methodically, observe results carefully, and adjust based on your body's responses while avoiding others' documented mistakes.

    The key is using all available information as guidance for structured self-experimentation, rather than accepting any single source as definitive.
