Osaid

Harsh is the expectations and assumptions about what you are which are pushed onto you. Not the world. The more that "trying to fit in" is let go of, and the more that being authentic and true to yourself is allowed, the more the people who shame you will naturally vanish, and the more the people who resonate with your authentic self will naturally appear.

This is just classic narcissism. It's not special or different structurally from any other narcissist. "Spiritual narcissism" is still employed in the same way as normal narcissism. Structure over content is important to understand this. Cults and narcissists use the same exact mind control methods all throughout time. It's just a spiritual costume this time. There's grandiose ideas and fantasies about the self which he wants to meet, and he'll convince people he has healing abilities to get it. "I deserve sex, I deserve this, yadda yadda". That's the common motif with NPD.

If anyone shows him Nano Banana or whatever he'll probably go into psychosis

If true, then it's fair to say it's a cult run by a narcissist. One could say that C*nn*r M*rphy also had an awakening, albeit aided by psychedelics. But that was obviously not enlightenment. Many such cases. Mind can create red herrings out of anything.

I was thinking the whole Trump fiasco was gonna be a wake-up call for America. That's the optimistic view I think. I think the next election will put the theory into practice. There are probably going to be some "new Trumps" like Dan coming into the scene, this time with an anti-jew rhetoric rather than an anti-gay or anti-immigration rhetoric like Trump was doing. I guess the test is to see if people will vote for a highly hateful and narcissistic person a second time.

Yeah men just have the "bully" genetics and women have the "being a perfect saint" genetics. That's the only reason why this woman wouldn't agree with me. Thread solved. That's the only possible way to explain why I can't stop beating people up. I mean it sounds scientific enough cause I said genetics a bunch. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Strange loop morality: The "right" decision only exists because of the "wrong" decision. Look at how conscious and superior the imaginary hypothetical plebeians make me. 🤯

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe

Yeah, and why make multiple threads about the same? When someone talks a lot about things they don't like, it's usually fear or hate or both.

I would say a small amount are. And only recently cause of AI. Usually only show up on reels. Guessing that's what you're talking about unless you got examples.

True, good catch. Imagine carrying that contradiction with you 24/7 and trying to live with it. Anyone would eventually crash out.

We gotta be inclusive to all the narcissists, no one left out!

Mods are so nice nowadays. Only 1 point for that??

Yeah if you have bad boundaries or people-pleasing tendencies (like feeling guilty when saying no), then it will be easy to fall into that.

Yeah totally. Compromising yourself for another doesn't really work out. Blaming others doesn't really work out either. None of that would actually be aligned or supportive emotionally. Authenticity and inauthenticity can't co-exist, it will lead to contradiction in the relationship. You don't have to confirm what they believe or even copy their emotion though. Like if a parent was comforting the child, the parent doesn't believe in Santa but the parent can still talk them through it. When the parent shows confidence and kindness in contrast to the fear and insecurity, the child naturally gravitates towards the emotional state of the parent. You can embody your truth while acknowledging the emotion she feels. Anyways, blame is indeed self-destructive. I'm not saying to settle for that. You shouldn't be with someone who's always angry at you lol.

Well, if what's wanted is a connection and a relationship, then you gotta find some way to relate to them, despite being a guy. Then they'll probably feel happy or satisfied or whatever. Maybe I'm crazy.

Biological. The body, basically. The culture, behaviour, gender, and everything else attributed, would stem from the initial biological distinction. Trying to explain emotion through body parts just doesn't work IMO.

Where'd I say that?

I see. I think that would ruin any relation though. If a man did it. If a woman did it. etc. Women can express their emotions in unique ways, but at the end of the day it's the same emotion or the same capacity to feel as anyone else. For example, say a woman and a man feel sad. The woman cries about it in front of her friends. The guy doesn't do this, and he bottles the desire to cry, simply because there's a stigma that he shouldn't do that around other men. Both are sad. Neither have transcended sadness. The sadness is not caused by their genitalia. Nothing like that. One simply decides to feel it, and the other tries not to feel it because of what they are taught. The existence of it, the sadness, is still there. Same emotion. Same feeling. Only expressed or filtered differently because of culture, expectations, peers, gender, etc. My practical reason for emphasizing all of this is because I think it would actually be much more helpful to focus on the human condition as a whole rather than narrowing it down to a specific gender. That's much more relatable for everyone and it doesn't require much assumption or pseudoscience. Not necessarily. It doesn't have to push responsibility. It's arguably an important thing to communicate. But, to your point, it's also important not to place unnecessary responsibility onto others. I think someone could communicate emotions without actually expecting you to be responsible for it, though. You just seem sensitive to it because it seems other people have done that to you a lot.

As for being stuck in immature relationships, yeah, much of the "manosphere" is. Because they believe in the manosphere. Self-fulfilling prophecy. Then you just conflate the experience with "all women" to repeat the prophecy.

Objectively it might not be a big deal. It might even be silly. But she probably just wants you to acknowledge how she feels instead of brushing it off. Imagine a child crying about something. Santa didn't get them their presents or something. You would still probe and explore those feelings with them. Santa might not be real, but the feeling is. Anyways, end of the day it's not really a gender thing since everyone feels.

I'm not claiming to know the chemistry. I'm saying if the toxin is omitted then there's no problem. You don't need to know the chemistry of the substance to solve the problem or narrow down what's problematic.

It's toxic because it's taking the place of what isn't toxic. If you know for a fact that air high in oxygen is good for energy, then it's as simple as removing anything foreign to oxygen, like carcinogens or other particles. Anything foreign would impede the normal energy conversion process. In this way you don't need to know the specific science and behaviour of each and every substance. It's a more fundamental way of looking at it.

That's the same thing though. It's toxic because the body can't convert it into anything positive, but the body can definitely convert oxygen. Therefore anything which impedes oxygen or energy conversion will be perceived as toxic. I'm just saying that focusing on the oxygen is more fundamental and important than honing in on every little strange chemical or substance. It's not a mystery why filling a room with a foreign substance lowers overall energy, it's because what is essential for energy has simply been lowered. You have to look at how it's interacting with the body as a whole rather than blaming one substance. A substance does nothing until it interacts with the body, then you study that interaction.

I don't believe any of that. BTW, something very simple might be being overlooked. It's not something bad in the air per say, it's just the amount of oxygen. Less oxygen is less conducive to energy production, and more oxygen is more conducive. The proof of this is simply opening a window in a stagnant room and feeling the difference breathing in the "fresh air". As an anecdote, when I'm cleaning a bathroom using a detergent spray or whatever, there is a noticeable energy difference and maybe even headaches. It's because the spray is simply taking over the oxygen ratio. It immediately fixes just by going outside to breathe.
