So, that means, on very high states of consciousness, everyday conversations feel like talking to yourself? -

If there is only one self, why am I surprised with the action of other people. If the one self is creating everything, including all beings, why is there confusion about the motives of these beings? I can go to some person and ask them a question, but why am I unsure about the answer, If I am supposedly creating that exact answer. Isn't it, that with absolute solipsism everything must be totally predictable. Why are the self's own creations unpredictable to the self?

@Human Mint This is conflict

This is the aftermath of conflict

Good point What do you mean with bursting your own bubble?

Thanks a lot for your scientific treatise Have to read it a couple of times to decode it

Very helpful. Thank you. The eMotion tries to push me to a fight or flight reaction

This might be seen as to hysteric because of how easily I feel hurt On the other hand I manipulate by being ignorant, like having no surface

Lately I asked to friends for postponing a date for a little time, came late to that and one was very directly projecting his anger onto me Looking back his anger was justified, but I still plan to cut him out of my life, because I feel disrespected. A coworker had a very disregarding attitude towards me after I respectfully turned her romantic longing to me down. I tried to ignore her passive aggressive attitude and stayed stoic. But I felt bad because I can't stand people disrespecting me. Basically she was in such an attitude where nothing would have really helped other than a clear rebuke from the higher ups. I did not even tell my manager once. In another workplace, a pretty unregulated one, I had some quarrels because I was trying to improve things, but in a direction one coworker did not like. That was a quite reactive and immature person when coming to a dispute with someone. I was setting up boundaries in a respectful way, but did not urge the manager running the place to settle the dispute for good. He was not interfering much. Mostly it comes down to me being someone who is very autonomous, which is not liked and seen as a threat by some people. I'm not really communicative with others and can even get purposefully ignorant to the elephant in the room (the conflict) And I tend to be hurt quite easily and have the impulse to cut people from my life

The problem is my body can't handle confrontation. I feel nauseous, shaky, heartracing, sweating I'm pretty sympathetic and nervous generally

I have to be careful. Last time I took a normal dosed trip of LSD, I had some emotional trouble at the end of the trip, causing me to frantically leaving my flat, feeling a slightly panic followed by being teary and having a fall in my self-esteem, then I went jogging because I was so agitated Something like annihilation is something I won't follow because I tend to have emotional disregulation and I could run into panic attacks I like to nudge myself into meditative states or higher contemplative states carefully with moderate doses

@Human Mint I did that in the past, but the problem arises when you have agonistic people around, who use your lack of boundaries and niceness to assault you. One thing I suspect is, that I have a personality that is prone to be attacked, for whatever reason. Maybe I'm quirky, or not the witiest or fastest, I only suspect Some might get trough with such an personality because they are cheerful and kind of a goof, but I'm quite tense and sober at the ground level

@DianaFr Thanks for sharing The thing is that I always react calm and try to minimize damage. But I can get very resentful, can hardly shake that feeling and want to ban people from my life. My ego is hurt very easily, and I don't want that. I wan't to be at ease and not so vulnerable.

Experience shows me that I'm bad at handling conflict with others. Be it coworkers, family or friends. If someone is opposed to something I did or there are arguments I can't really handle it emotionally. My first instinct is to not give anyone any surface, to be somewhat ignorant. Even if I stood up for myself, I have strong emotions that run my mind afterwards. My knees get shaky and I feel resentment. Are there techniques to get better with handling confrontations and be calm during it?

This is a great example of how misinformation works, by telling half truths. In fact Hitler was vegetarian, not vegan. Sounds totally unimportant Now imagine the same little differences in political discussions...
