@A Fellow Lighter I'm enjoying your stuff. Awwwsum.

@Schizophonia when it comes to psychedelics, less is more, mate.

And I thought I was the only one who took 100ug of LSD.

Not possible. Unless you ejaculate so much that you reach a state of constant horniness. In that case you have arousals only. An orgasm is generally accompanied by ejaculation.

Several. Being interrupted or talked over. Lack of politeness. Letting your dogs everywhere, letting them jump on strangers. I hate it when people don't know how to restrain or discipline their dogs well enough. A pit bull. Spiritual debates that look like a one-upping session. Non duality and it's incessant wrongful trollish application by new age seekers. Guys who complain about fashion. Waiting too long at a restaurant. Girls who constantly monitor your life or psychoanalyze you on the internet without knowing shit about your life. Those are my pet peeves.

I found it funny. Now you may leave.

That's BS. I agree with you. Charging a theft.

Couple of factors Fall in family values is the single biggest cause Feminism and female independence High rates of rejection

The thread above this thread.

Some immigrants want open borders. Some immigrants want closed borders once the borders have been opened for them.

Nicee.

What I meant is that if you serially start cutting out people from your life even for the slightest errors, it will make you even a bigger narcissist than the garden variety narcissists that you complain about. You're basically sheep-ing people to your needs that way. You run the risk of developing a potent ego. Have a balance.

I have been around such people. It's not a big deal. I have dealt with narcissists. We can't expect people to be perfect. Of course if a relationship is deeply abusive, one must leave immediately. Yet there's always a chance to be too hypersensitive to petty behaviors that can be easily changed with some psychotherapy. Like I said nobody is perfect. There's some good and there's some bad in literally everyone. One has to work out things than just dumping people. Communication is key. If something is wrong and brought to a person's attention and they promise they would change, wait for things to get better, if they deny it and don't show signs of remorse or cooperation, then leave them. This is very conditional and subjective. Let the good shine. And let the person work on their flaws. All of this is subject to the amount of time and effort you want to commit to that person, if you're doing well on your own, this won't be hard, yet if you're suffering and struggling, it's best to not invest any further into wanting compromises. It depends on your personal resilience with people.

I'm sorry this happened to you. You deserve much better. Don't be around reptiles. Surround yourself with people who trust you.

Act of love would be being with them and transforming them. But ain't nobody got time for that!!

You mean those kittens were going to be lowered into this forum right!

Sounds like covert npd rather than bpd. Anyway it's a toxic relationship. And you should get out of it for your own good. Cut off that person.

Not paying. Not even a cent. First get a degree.

Champion. Where's your clinic at? Just drop the address already.

Your every post is about women's ages. Lul. Why do you care so much? Let go. Date younger if you want and if you can't, then forget it.

Nonsense.

You can literally believe anything.

Dood you rock.

I don't know what made me write this. But I write it with a heavy heart. Like any other thing that comes with it's own set of pros and cons, spiritual communities aren't exempt from drawbacks either. I'm not specifically talking about forums although forums are a fraction of it. I'm just saying communities in general. I have reached a point where I'm seriously contemplating whether being a part of a larger community is really worth it if the results aren't really there and if things are just getting worse with the illusion that you're on a spiritual path and you are achieving something when in reality millions of people with mental and physical problems turn to spirituality only for bypassing their real issues, are barely able to cope through life and end up being and doing worse when they get on the spiritual path. They start to rot and lose interest in life and daily activities once they begin to live in a solipsistic bubble. Instead of thriving, they start rapidly degrading. The consequences can be anywhere from suicide to mental illness to death or just living like a zombie. I'm sure people in the past have also expressed such a sentiment on this forum before. It's a routine thing, not to mention the problem of false teachings. Things that degrade your mental well being or just take you on a path of disillusionment. You gotta do the math yourself. Are you in this for the better or are things genuinely not turning out to be the way they should. I was barely 9 years old when I first started with spirituality. I haven't come very far because life came in between. I devoted a significant portion of my life in chasing delusions (let's put it that way). I suffered autism at a young age and in my teens I was obsessed with spirituality and religion. I always thought I was looking for something, searching for something, there was this existential crisis like thing going on with me. I was often at my wits end. Don't get me wrong. I derived a lot of benefit from this forum itself. Leo's teachings, his videos on personal development were a great starting point. But there's a problem. Everything is not so hunky dory. I still think that I suffered a bit in the process and not in a good way. It's like "invited" suffering. I don't know if this is the inherent nature of spiritual work. But I went through phases of insanity. I didn't do psychedelics (God only knows what suffering might have resulted from that). But so far not so stellar results. I have significant mental illness. I don't know if that's interfering with my spiritual stuff. One thing I casually noticed in spiritual communities is the huge problem of spiritual ego. People fight a lot over what's right or wrong. There's a certain dogmatism that accompanies it. This downgrades the whole spiritual process significantly. This is not alien to any community, it's to be found in every spiritual community. Be careful with what you decide to put your energy into. I have suffered significantly.

Scary.
