I don't know what's the big deal with you. Doesn't seem like you want to minimize problems. You don't have to compliment everyone you meet. You could simply have a friendly conversation and that would be enough unless you want to make your partner uncomfortable on purpose,lol. You make this unnecessarily complicated. Yes compliments can be taken as affection and there's nothing wrong or emotionally un-aware about feeling that way, they are not uncalibrated if they thought something about it, in fact you're the one being uncalibrated lol. Because most people who want to flirt start with complimenting first. This is how society has always operated and it's not going to change to your needs. Maybe don't compliment the opposite sex on their looks, maybe compliment them on their abilities or maybe do it in front of your husband so it doesn't appear sneaky. You don't have to compliment someone, make them feel awkward, and then explain yourself or guilt trip them for feeling awkward because they misunderstood you. It wasn't their fault either. Don't guys who flirt with women pay them compliments? It goes both ways. If you don't have enough social calibration, then just don't try it and make it less stressful for everyone involved. Because compliments can often be very misleading, give mixed signals and are generally used with intention, especially if they're strangers. If you have already known them for a long time, then they might not take it too seriously as they have known enough about you and they already know the equation is platonic. And if this is a constant source of tension between you and your husband, then they're bigger problems between the two of you to sort than just complimenting noobs.

First of all great question. I'll use your question for contemplation. @Leo Gura is criticism useless really? You might want to think about it again. Criticism is a great tool for someone open mindede enough to use it as essential feedback. Don't you think? @The Redeemer to answer (I really don't have a great answer since it would need hours and days of contemplation) - calling someone out is definitely a good option and I wouldn't deny it. Along with it empathy, compassion, cooperation. If someone is not trying to get on board with you, they can't really help you. Teamwork is a big thing here. And providing massive value through your own hard work and commitment. Setting example. It's not easy to be out there and consistently provide value to people that they will use and become better in life. Being a light worker, empath, guide, leader, champion as well as a disciplinarian, all of that entails exhausting hours of work.

You realize that you can't have that word and "no homo" in the same sentence. You created a strange oxymoron there, strange loopy loopy guy.

Compliments count if they're validatory or else of little value.

Both have psychology in common. Grande's is pure refined unadulterated content whereas JPs looks like his own version of psychology mixed with his own biases and takes like pseudo psychology. He doesn't seem to count for clinical observations. More like a quack psychologist.

This account was created on August 17th. And now it ceases to exist. How is that possible? Even deleted accounts are visible. How come it became invisible? https://www.actualized.org/forum/profile/32049-peace-of-mind/

But how can a new account (just created 4 - 10 days ago) ask for deletion when they don't have the option to message you or moderator? I'm puzzled. It was said that new accounts weren't allowed to message.

I just saw an account exist and within 3 seconds it doesn't exist. Just disappeared and instead shows an error code in it's place. How is this possible? Strange. I would not like to mention that account to simply protect privacy. If a new account cannot message a moderator, how is this possible? Canceling registration through email?

Can a new account simply cease to exist without getting banned? As far as I know, an account is still visible even after a ban. Even if the posts are scrubbed off. But how does an account that's newly created just disappear? Is that because of canceling registration in the first week of creating the account or something? I've just seen highly unusual activity.

She seems like a try-hard. Reminds me of toxic positivity.

What I meant is Grande work is pure gold standard. JP is a delusional fool who thinks too much of himself, he is good at milking opportunities. I mainly see him as an opportunist. He used to have a few good lectures like 5 years ago. He is good with the academic part. He is callous when it comes to psychology and does a lot of pseudo-intellectualism. And with politics, he is just full of shit, he has so many biases, granted he can be quite articulate with his opinion and I don't entirely deny certain conservative positions, he is not as lunatic as other extreme conservatives, yet his content is still depressing and is usually nihilistic and superficial.

Then you haven't explored him.

Use YouTube and find out for yourself!

All 3 choices are bad. The first one is a gimmick. He looks like a guy who will break under pressure. Pence, we already know. Chris Christie is like a pastor. Running only to have free lunches, dinners, hotels, drinks, security, and the usual trappings of a candidate who haven't a chance. On defeat, he will push a book, hit the tv and find his next grift.

What do we got - Someone like Trump. Ok Trump nevermind. Someone like DeSantis. Someone like Tucker Carlson. .... At this point (insert meme).

Some of the judges are like Trump aides.

And he will milk it.

The real solution to a problem is uprooting the mentality. Trump is the mouthpiece for it.

But....he is running.

You mean Ron DeSantis?

Comparing Grande to JP is like comparing gold to dirt.

Way too hypothetical.

@Leo Gura btw trump has a lot of support.

Manifestation of power is actually a stage red trait.

Self reflection.
