@Serotoninluv Sure, I already got all of these. Then maybe my "60%" was an exaggeration? Maybe I have to cut that down to 30% blue in me? But still I have some inhibitions that stem from my Blue upbringing. That's why I written this post so complexly. I really need to go about this the hardcore way. My family is hardcore blue, literally middle ages. My thinking is probably more Orange/Green, I mean the conscious one for that matter... but I have some weird neuroses that come from Blue that I simply do not know how to handle. So maybe I just need to heal Blue wounds, and not really force myself into a different way of thinking, because I'm already there, just gotta let go of the baggage. And I'm going all the way with this even if it's going to take 1 or maybe 2 years and even cost money for therapy. I just want to do something about it. I cannot live like this. And I'm not lazy to study all that material. It won't overwhelm me because I'm doing 1 at a time. I'm picking 1 topic from the list of Notes (N) and doing that for a while. It's not like I'm doing this overnight you know. @d0ornokey Thanks, I'll definitely check out r/atheism!

@Robert Hey I did saw you wrote me a message in August. I actually replied to it 1 month ago and I wrote nicely to you, idk why you haven't got it. Didn't know where to contact you so I'm writing this here I hope it's ok. I'm just telling you to look at your messages again cause I did reply! @Serotoninluv Could you tell me more about the two magicks? Please. -
@Girzo I'm not sure what your friend is doing, but it might be illegal.. You cannot use stock photos for merchandise, at least not without an extended license, which costs like 1000$ for 25 photos. And if he is only selling 25 products and getting 70% profit, then that's not bad I guess. But if he's just randomly editing a stock image and selling it that is illegal. I just talked about the merchandise options with a Shutterstock agent and asked them if they allow me to use their photos for my products, and they said it is not allowed without paying at least 120$ for two images. That's too much for me since I only plan to sell a few copies (but a good price for bigger companies). I had to refuse. Please note that most people on RedBubble are original artists, they don't use stock photos.

@ajasatya Thanks for the advice! @Anirban657 That's true. Thank you! @IVONNE Thanks, you're really positive!

@aurum You're right. Thank you.

@universe I'm 20. My relationship with them is horrible. None of my family have a job. I try to reduce it 100%, but my grandmother always comes and comments something nasty, for example how I either choose this family or go back to my "criminals". Lol, that's how she calls my friends. My family is insane!

Here are some ideas I found on ethical marketing: All marketing communications share the common standard of truth. Marketing professionals abide by the highest standard of personal ethics. Advertising is clearly distinguished from news and entertainment content. Marketers should be transparent about who they pay to endorse their products. Consumers should be treated fairly based on the nature of the product and the nature of the consumer (e.g. marketing to children). The privacy of the consumer should never be compromised. Marketers must comply with regulations and standards established by governmental and professional organizations. Ethics should be discussed openly and honestly during all marketing decisions.

@bejapuskas Yeah, uhm.. sry for oversharing ^^" Actually your way of thinking really opened my mind and I'm thankful that you asked all those questions. Maybe I shouldn't have shared all of these things, but maybe I also wanted other readers to get a sense of who they're talking to. And maybe if I improve and look back at this post to remember where I came from. I'm not ashamed of who I am. I actually completely accept myself and don't really care what others think. Of course, I want to improve, but only for myself. I don't really let anyone dictate who I should be, I just accept advice that seems helpful for me, through my lens. That's why I didn't accept Shin's advice on getting rid of my negative friend. He might be negative, but he is right. If I was successful he wouldn't say a thing. I know him well enough and my friend's negative comments don't stop me because I know where his words are coming from. But thanks anyway @Shin ! I'm certainly avoiding other negative people like my family for example. @Elisabeth Big picture thinking and practicality. But he doesn't put much effort in things either. He just goes with the flow, easy going guy. @NoSelfSelf Yeah he doesn't like serious talk at all. He doesn't talk about himself, he's very humorous and just says spontaneous jokes and makes everyone laugh.
-
@NoSelfSelf He's jumping from one relationship to another. Mostly with needy girls. But hey, he still has more success than me in dating! I only had sex with him so far in my life! Oh wait, I think I was a needy girl oops.. Jokes aside, I just simply admire how he dominates every conversation and everyone admires him and loves him and says that he is cool and nice and lovely. I talk with his friends in this online group sometimes and when he is not around they keep commenting on how amazing he is. When I told them I'm not dating him anymore they made it seem like I was a bad person and that it was all my fault. That's how powerful his charisma is! @bejapuskas Where am I? Well I'm 20, I live with my family, and I'm working on my career as a digital artist. I don't have a job right now, except when I get commissioned by someone to make a custom art piece. I don't consider myself higher than my friend, we are at the EXACT same level, that's why his comment hit me so hard. I never said I don't have anything to learn from my friend. I know he can teach me a lot. Except he won't because for him it just flows naturally and he never contemplates on things. Things just happen for him, good or bad, he makes it work. If I were a third person and I'd have to choose between him or me, I'd probably choose him, even if he doesn't really hang out or he is nasty sometimes. I don't like saying bad things about him though, because sometimes I feel like I owe my life to him. He made me evolve, and now that I'm on his level, or close to his at least, I have to work on growing higher than him, because he can't provide much value in my success in life. He does provide value, but not in success. That's why I'm keeping him as friend, I love him enormously, but I probably won't ask advice ever again from him because he just brings me down and I lose motivation. And your 50 people question, pff, I'd just avoid me as far as possible. That's the harsh truth. Even in my original post I mentioned that I didn't grow to the top, but I'm twice as effective as last year. That doesn't mean anything, because I also mentioned I was at a low place, so it was expected of me to grow further.

@Shin It's a bit hard thing to do, and tricky.. he's the only friend I have right now since my other friends moved to different countries or cities. Plus I love this friend really deeply. I honestly don't know what to do. He is always there for me, LOW-KEY, but he is not generally supportive. Sometimes he says nice things, he did say one time how fast I improve my life, "you grow with a speed almost equal with the speed of light", that's what he said once, but it is worth mentioning that it was a period when I didn't talk to him at all, so I didn't have negativity to hold me back and I could shine finally... so....... And he is rarely complimenting me, whereas I compliment him like 5 times every day, that's how much I respect him. I don't know what to do because I really love him, not necessarily romantically, but on a deep unconditional level. It just really gets on my nerves that he keeps laughing at me and being so negative. @NoSelfSelf True, thank you! I needed to be reminded of this. I always put work related things in practice, but it's really hard for me in the dating world. Online everyone seems attracted to me, but in reality I repel people. Not that I ever tried to approach them...lol. I'm still improving this. My negative friend actually gave me very useful advice on dating (he is super successful in dating), and this is something that I'm going to try out. He is the kind of person who cannot process "mechanical" approaches, everything comes naturally to him, he is very intuitive, thus he can't give advice because things just flow with him.
-
Well... honestly, no. He is always ironic with me. I feel like he is really smart, but he is also unsuccessful. He has more success in dating than I do and always gets laid (sometimes with me as well). I used to date him too. He's really cool. Realistic, cool-headed, but very ..."cold"(?). He is never supportive however, only pointing out mistakes and possible negative outcomes.
-
@Mikael89 Haha what a perspective! You really told her what she needed to hear.
-
Well, gurlll, a boyfriend won't just fall in your lap, you gotta work for it! Having a boyfriend is more than just being beautiful and having sex. But you're not ugly. You can always improve the social skills/sexual appeal. Please don't be upset. Just relax and read a book or talk with a good friend, go for a walk in the park and block the stalker right now. That person has serious problems, there's problems with himself and not about you. You are fine. Also, ask yourself if you're ready for a relationship. A relationship is not everything. Sometimes we need time to work on ourselves before we take responsibility for a relationship.
-
You cannot change a person against his will, but you can inspire him by being the best version of yourself. And the decision is yours alone to leave or stay, no one can decide for you, thankfully.
-
Sorry to hear about your situation. It's important to give yourself time to heal. But you have to stop finding excuses and pointing the finger at other people for your lack of success. You are a grown person now and you have to take full responsibility for your life. I am willing to bet that even people who had decent families are still having relationship issues for various reasons. And those who haven't, well, they just took their lives in their hands. Your situation is not something you cannot heal or correct over time. It just takes practice, research, hard work and some time. How to work this out? Well I'm sure I've seen at least 5 videos on this topic on Leo's youtube. There are book. There is a library. Free online resources if you look hard enough. We are living in a world where everything is in front of our faces but we're just too lazy to take action to read it, absorb the info. And applying it is another thing too. Start small. I'm reading a pretty cool book right now, it's for teens but it works for me because I'm a beginner, it's called Success principles for teens by Jack Canfield. It's an amazing book and it helped me a lot. I think there is an adult version too but this one is also helpful, I mean you're pretty young. But feel free to find the original adult version of the book in the stores if you must. Some videos from Leo to explore (grab a pen and some notepad and start taking notes while watching them): --Self Esteem - Understanding & Fixing Low Self-Esteem --Self Image - The Amazing, Absolute Key To All Personal Growth --Self Confidence - The Two Essential Avenues --The Power Of Self Acceptance - How To Stop Beating Yourself Up --How To Be More Confident --How To Love Yourself - How To Like Who You Are Right Now -- 35 subfields of self help (new video) -- actually all of his videos on confidence, emotions, relationship and self esteem Start small, go step by step, and do buy some books too. Good luck!

Alrighty, just do your thing then I guess. (:

I actually think Leo is really funny, my family always gets suspicious when I laugh at my phone screen lmao. Anywayy, Leo had a video about masculine and feminine compassion (one of my favourites from him), so what you are trying to communicate here is that feminine compassion works better for you. But Leo still remains a compassionate being. I guess. He has a target audience and he's talking to them, so when you hear the word "lazy", either: 1. evaluate where you might be lazy in your life and the bad consequences of this, or 2. don't take it too personally and know you're not the only one listening to his videos.

If you're going to share it for free and expect to get money back then you'll have to be the best, and even then it is not guaranteed. Money is not evil though. I like to think of it as energy. It's a tool. Don't be so scared of it.
-
Experiment, see what works for you, don't get lost in your head. Try to follow practical advice, something you can try out. If you remain open, nothing and no one can take your openness away. Don't stress about becoming dogmatic. You just won't. And everything changes anyway so you can reverse the belief if you see it is hurting you (just a thought, not necessarily it will hurt you). Listen to your gut instinct.

As soon as I left my bf he got enlightened or something (wow, what a rekt xD). So yeah, good for him... Anywayyy, most of the info out there is for guys and how GUYS are supposed to approach GIRLS, not the other way around. So what do I do as a girl to meet a guy? Heck, I don't even feel comfortable talking online, let alone irl. Some tips please?

It's my birthday this Sunday and it sucks that I have no one to celebrate with. I will be turning 20. I finished school 2 years ago and I'm unemployed, about to get my diploma this year (struggling to motivate myself). I have a wide interest list, I'm basically interested in everything, I also make lots of art and crafts, I'm a music addict and could recommend a song to anyone. In general when I talk to old friends or internet friends via Facebook they seem to really like me, they say I'm their best friend etc., but somehow everyone is busy with life and I'm left alone. I mean I'm not the type to go to parties every day n stuff (never even been to a real party), but like literally never going outside?? It's a shame. I have a boyfriend, but he is 10 years older than me and we have difficulties in our relationship. I think it's the age gap. I need "lots" of care as he would say, but honestly wouldn't any girl my age? Besides, all I want is just a walk in the park or doing something interesting once a month at least, but all we do is that I visit him like twice a week then go home in the morning. He doesn't make any effort, he doesn't even care about himself. So I'm lonely again. How could I make more friends? Any advice would help.

Let's say I'm working a lot on myself. I am pretty awakened to certain existential truths, I read self-help materials, I research my diet and fitness stuff, I plan my life and career, I take care of my look and I do my best to be a good girlfriend. Can I build a successful relationship with someone who probably doesn't even know or care about these things and just is the way he is? Not to mean he is dumb or unworthy of my love. Sure he can be caring, sexy, funny, charming and all the stuff some guys cannot achieve even with self-help books and courses... But we don't always connect. So I have a few questions: 1. What is the biggest obstacle in a relationship between an ordinary person and someone doing self-development? 2. Can it be a successful relationship? If so, what is necessary for this to happen? 3. Is it worth a shot? What experiences can one gain, if any? 4. What if both are in love with each other, but don't always connect? 5. Is it possible to get him involved into self-development for the sake of the relationship? If so, how?

Haha, I love you guys.

Well, first of all women can feel your intentions. As someone mentioned earlier, the women who said "yes" to you were women who chose you already, so they had the same intention as you (to fuck with someone). Secondly, please remember that not all women are looking for one night with a random stranger. To spot those kinds of women who want sex asap, learn the non-verbal clues (that of a horny woman I mean). As before mentioned, longer eye contact for example or an open posture. So I guess you can do two things: Change your intention. Instead of looking for someone to fuck, look for someone to connect with on a deeper level (because you mentioned you want someone amazing for setteling down). Or Make sure you choose the women who want the same thing as you. If you're looking just to have sex, look for clues like girls smiling at you, looking in your eyes, open posture, sexy clothing... I'm not expert on pickup, but these are just some basic things that pop up in my mind that might not be obvious for some. But who knows, maybe you already knew these. Good luck!
