Puer Aeternus

Even better?!

Let the man live life without the passive aggression.

Actually, please do it! Thank you!

Well, it sort of just opens the flood gates ay! Because a lot of these places are created with specific intentions in mind. They want to discuss and share already popular/quality media. It's frustrating to you, because you don't have as many places to sell/promote. Understandable! But if it were allowed, it wouldn't just be you doing so.. A rush of self-promoters would rush in and it would be a nuisance to the majority that just want to lurk/discuss already known content! From the raw numbers of it, most of the promotion will be pretty bad! Maybe a few diamonds in the rough.. but mostly cheeks, and it'll take time to sort through it all. Would be nice if things had more flexibility though. If there were more avenues to promote and get feedback! To discover new things from lesser known artists. Also because sucking or even being half-decent but not quite there is a very important phase!

😭 you really went back to a February, 2024 post just to praise your favorite mans?! Well, the dedication is certainly admirable.

This is quite the wild message to send. Seems like your ego is quite enmeshed in this whole being god thing. You're using this authority of God to preach your own personal ideas. Of course you'll immediately reject this. Can't see this going anywhere for ya. Good luck and may you have a nice evening.

Glad you're out interacting with strangers, sounds like good progress aye congratulations and keep up the good work! Honestly, just a few random thoughts. Continue asking people how they perceive you when you're having social interactions with them. Their answers might surprise you and shift your OWN self-perception. Because it was definitely YOU thinking that, not THEM. Also, no need to wait for trauma therapy completely. Ya never know when your therapist will be a dud and there's lots of relevant info a typical therapy session won't cover. I definitely recommend checking out resources on your own and reading books if you haven't already. If you'd like some immediate recommendations, Jordan provided roughly 80% of the books I've read on my trauma healing journey. Super helpful and absolute gem of a channel! ALSO should you start dating, PREPARE YOURSELF! A lot of shit will come up. It will, to an extent, be a hot mess. That's okay and it'll hurt like hell but its all part of the process.

I think a better question to be asked is if you feel you deeply desire the experience of friends or not. I mean- it does depend on your goals, but try the whole no friends thing. See what it's like! Can you dive into the sensation, the part of you that desires no friends? Is there some part that contains falsehood? Or maybe you just don't have the right friends? Maybe you're burning through some, maybe the desire is still there. Just, different? You really should be asking yourself all of these questions and more- it emotional labor, but don't just trust your intentions and emotions off the rip. They may contain things hidden in them that are meant to dissolve and fade away. Walk on it. Contemplate it. Sense it. Try to do whatever you can to sus it out. Don't fear the emotional labor and uncertainty.

Ayyyyyyy frame battle, frame battle! WHO WILL WIN?!? Freud's pain pleasure principle!? Or suffering is the real enemy!? @Princess Arabia @Ishanga The truth is, you both have interesting perspectives and things to say! But your perspective maps are differing in some ways. So you're both hunkering down in your own maps, because they're more familiar to you. I still think I'm right about this and not youuuu! So stooppp! Surrender this trying to be right thing and integrate where you're wrong even if it's confusing, sillies!

Lmao nice title, really thought it was going to be a full circle moment and I'd finally get to bash some femme superiority complex in contrast to the usual. But your book quote hardly says women are more evolved? Maybe that they've developed more in particular ways and men in others. With the all too fun oh but I'm just speaking generally. But sounds like the same quotes are practically yelling at you not to generalize woman as more overall evolved from men.

Yess! It's definitely more than just a gimmick 😆 and people won't see it that way because not like you'll be recording it. You should totally do it! It'll definitely take some courage at first. But nothing really bad has come from it for me? I mean some people will completely ignore you or glance at you and walk past. But it's really not bad at all! Just try to look friendly- don't be phased if it takes a bit between people stopping to talk. It can vary a lot, but if I'm out there it's usually not more than 20 minutes before someone comes up- usually it's quite a bit faster though!

Not this witch hunt shit again, lmao, hope you're joking.

Ahhh, yeah maybe! 👀 Interesting idea. I think at the end of the day we're all sorta stumbling around in the dark with different concepts and not even really realizing how different they can be! But I definitely agree with your overall read of things

I mean I guess there's levels to the game. "Spiritual people" is a broad category, the deeper you go the fewer you find. You'll find the biggest amount splashing around in the kiddie pool. Just getting their feet wet but not really plunging in, ego and all. Basically greenies who are still just dabbling but have adopted a spiritual aesthetic off of some mild experience✨ Then you've got folks taking the process seriously. These are the silently underrated group who are going unnoticed. They're plugged in, learning, burning, and transcending. Different experiences and realizations. I mean, your description doesn't really sound like "enlightenment". Just sounds like this. It's a process, an expansion, but not an end. What even is enlightenment really? Would an "enlightened" person even refer to themselves as such. Is there every really an end? So yes, if you want someone like @samijiben says that'll be hard to find. Maybe not even such a thing out there beyond the stories and illusions we have in our minds.

Honestly don't know why it can't go both ways. There can be more idiots than we think, but also more spiritual people? Most of us know better than scream from the mountaintops about this stuff, it can end up being not very well-received. So how many other silent spiritual hermits out there just chugging through life that you'd never otherwise notice? I'm not saying it's a lot, but it may be slightly larger than you'd assume. Really humans are a large spectrum of differences. You can have tons of idiocracy but also have more than expected spiritual people.. they're just hiding away in the closet!

I've done this in the past. Find an area with heavy foot traffic. I chose a cozy walkway tucked just off of the main shopping district in my city. Grab yourself some folding chairs, a sign large enough to be readable to foot traffic (and some way to mount it), and optionally a fold out table. On said sign, put some interesting question prompt, new to the city and need friends! , or I usually went with an open ended what's on your mind? Sit back. Profit. Not only is it a great way to sample all of what humans have to offer, but generally those who sit down skew towards the more interesting side of things. It's a great way to skip the small talk. You can do it any day of the week (assuming the location you choose is busy enough). Easy to ask for contact info and arrange more meetups- similarly as easy just to let the no matches walk away with no guilt and never talk to them again. I think one of the biggest benefits is the conversationalist is choosing YOU! You're not doing some crapshoot cold approach or pulling up to a meetup with no idea how interested people will actually be. Caveat to say I've done this only in America, so plenty of obviously people are extroverted or willing to put themselves out there. Not sure if this would be as successful in a more introverted, insular country country.

Ding ding ding! It is a skill of itself to be able to combine a bunch of different teachings and ideas from various fields. Then transforming such an amalgamation of things together into something coherent and insightful for a general audience. It IS creative, not everyone can pull that off! Truly demands a reasonable amount of appreciative feet kissing for all the value that's been provided.

Just kinda is what it is. Just like the HOA doesn't want low income housing in their backyard. Businesses want to make money, tent cities and the homeless can be a detriment to local businesses and tourism in general. And not like there's zero threat to the public too. But that's mostly where it's really bad. Kids in LA having to walk to school through an open air drug market type beat. That's not the overwhelming majority of places though. But people don't want to spend the money or time to invest in an actual solution that gets to the bottom of things. They don't want the collective accountability. So, it gets pushed out of sight. Forgotten, ignored, emotionally distanced from. Where the issues only grows and festers.

I guess it's a win if you want to get homelessness out of sight. Functioning people will be immediately less affected by not having to deal with some of the sketchy ones. But of course, such tent cities are a bi-product of America being what it is? It's not addressing what is needed to be. All it does is sweep the problem under the rug. But yes, let's send a population often intensely traumatized/mental disordered to prison. That way they can have criminal record and spend all day networking and surviving with actual criminals. Cause American prison has totally been proven a great place for rehabilitation... Rigggght?! No. I mean sure they don't have as easy of access to drugs as they once did. But the other potential cons? Would be a disaster if it happens en mass. And it's Trump doing it 💀 you think he's going to imprison the homeless with love? C'mon man.

Valid point whenever I sense narci in the airwaves I always send them to my favorite chat bot professor Dr.GPT

Oh boy 😭 don't bring out the robot secret weapon as your finishing move! Noooooo!!!

Nice 👍🏻 Folks are definitely projecting. The way you go about laying things out and explaining definitely does make it seem like there's negative views implicitly held from the outside looking in. Triggers aren't happening for no reason! But at the end of the day, you're the one who can really know what's up and going on inside! I certainly see the implicitness other people are seeing and am still a bit skeptical still because of it, but I can definitely see what you're saying here too. Ultimately I just don't really know!

@OBEler At the end of the day, I think people are confused about the generalizations you're making. Some of them seem quite off and over simplified. Which of course acts as a trigger and brings people in. But then I asked you about men! And brought out similar type generalizations for them too. I am not sure how seriously you actually take all of them. But making statements that seem obviously incorrect to other folks or maybe even controversial. Does bring out the pitchforks and opens the door to projection. The issue is we don't actually know what's going on inside you. Does this whole thing not really matter much to you?! I'm not sure! Maybe it really just isn't that deep. You've given examples of the negatives of both genders, but your ones on females do seem to more prominent. And again, some of the quite off and oversimplified. Which of course, brings out the pitchforks. And I'm not saying they're invalid because there's loads of women slander here. A lot of the guys doing it match a similar profile.. they have lady issues. It's easy to see a similar thing and transfer this to you. But is this you? Do you really have issues with women? Or is it just the structure, the overgeneralizing at play that's causing it all. I'm not sure man. That one's really on you to figure out! And only really you can know/figure out. But I would consider not brushing it off 100% Give the mirror at least a little look, could something really be there? Let me just make sure. Just to be safe, to be through.

Definitely give LATAM a shot if Asia doesn't work out for you and I saw you mention it too! WAY easier to establish permanent residency. Paraguay and Mexico are probably the easiest places on earth to get it, but the other ones aren't that much harder. There are definitely some chill, more stable, and progressive pockets. Chile, Costa Rica (though it's the priciest), and my top choice Uruguay. They also have something called Mercosur, which is similar to EU freedom of movement. Once you have PR it's much easier to move around, work in, and even immigrate to other members states if you want. Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina are full members so I'm pretty sure this applies to them. There double the number in associate states, but they don't have full members rights so it'd be more case by case for them. The biggest issue is you'd probably want outside income coming in from an online business to live there, local salaries aren't what you could get in say a Korea/China. Just a bit of an extra info dump cause why not

Yep, but why not have both sides? Be open minded, have ideas in the back of your head but be cautious with them. Wait to see if they apply or not from experience with that person. If they do fit, then you've got a mostly useful shortcut. On the other side if you've got an overgeneralizing tendency, you just put someone in a box immediately and without necessarily intending to. Sometimes it'll be right, sometimes not. And can cause frustration/tension when you're thinking/acting/maybe even telling someone that they're a way, but this clashes with the reality of who they actually are. Then it can become confusing to crawl out of that assumption.
