  1. @Caoimhin Thank you for taking the time to write this up. Lots of great insights. I find the shame attacking exercises most fascinating. I definitely am always trying to "save face" in situations, when I could instead move into the discomfort of making a fool of myself and being okay with it. Very insightful. Much appreciated.
  2. Hi all - I am working on being less of a people pleaser. I've actually made a lot of progress over the last couple of years, but still have a lot of work to do. I have some ideas of how to practically work on this: - I want to forcefully put myself around people that I know have a hold on me, that have the power to make me feel weak and not speak my mind. This could be frustrating, but it is a form of exposure therapy, and I'm thinking that if I do this consciously, I will gain insights regarding my own psyche during these exchanges. - Increasing the respect that I have for myself by tackling goals and objectives in life. You stick up for yourself because you have self-respect for yourself. This requires you to be proud of your own accomplishments - Work out, get bigger. I've always been a small dude, and I think that this makes me cower when facing up against someone much bigger than me. Any other advice that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
  3. These girls spread their Catholic faith through their YouTube channel called "Girl Defined." It is almost like a self- help channel that is rooted in Christian values. They are succeeding in spreading their faith with 158,000 subscribers. It seems like their lives are filled with making themselves guilty in order to adhere to the rules of the bible rather than being centered in some internal belief system. This video talks about pre-marital sex, but there is another video that was deleted in which the girls mention that they actually both waited to kiss someone until marriage. This is a very radical idea to me. The thing that I am struggling to understand is that if the bible was created by someone that was enlightened and was grounded in Truth, how on earth did things get so screwed up that if you follow the bible to the tee now in 2021, you will actually be stuck at one of the lower stages in the spiral dynamics model.
  4. Thanks, I will check it out.
  5. I find this topic interesting. It seems as though we can learn things about ourselves through our dreams. Thanks.
