That is one dumb and insensitive thing to say, specially about children. I guess you are right she does not do much empathy. Perhaps if possible look for a new one?

I think it was more or less 90s rap song, message I got was "consumerism is shallow".

Nah. Trust me she is legit. Youtubers all look like narcs, because that is their job. You don't call Obama a narc, or Arnold Schwarzenegger narc, just because they are all over the place. Her channel is autism awareness. My special interest is autism for more than 10 years, so trust me she is...

Noted, I actually don't expect anyone to watch a 40 min vid. OK, no. The vid is kind of irrelevant, but to get to the root of it, she describes the period where teenagers are exhausted the most. Between 16-25 mental illness is mostly likely to occur, and that is due to co-occurring factors...

I watched the vid and it was very interesting, I needed to hear this. I still work on my emotions, and inner child is very powerful. I just feel like I don't know how to help it sometimes.

Well good luck. :act-up:

All I am going to say to this is..... Navie but honest question, is there one company the size of Disney that pays taxes properly? I think its a matter of whack a mole and detective work. From what I know most people try to evade taxes, even tiny business owners.

There is many reasons for this. One reason can be the attempt to feel something. Its counteracting emotional shut down. Not what I had in my mind. For instance you can have major anxiety. But you choose to feel resilient and push through. Anxiety push, fear push, guilt push, shame push, anger...

This vid is super interesting, its personal account of a girl in her early life when she did well in school and the consequences. My personal take on this, is that this should not be experienced by teens in school. Education systems are way too glamorized.

The ultimate consumerism song.

I heard a good term, third space. Today given internet, third spaces are evaporating, ergo spaces where people mingle and meet. I don't drink anymore, and that kind of makes me feel like I have no where to go to meet people. Other than public transport or vacations or libraries or bookshops...

It depends on context. Certainly pain is information. Interpretation of that state matters on context and meaning of pain. You can certainly have pain and discomfort, and learn to tolerate it too much, on the other hand there are all sorts of situations where pain and discomfort have meaning. I...

Yeah its like I have this web in my head, and so many times want to write shit down and take notes, but this looks like something that I could use to tie things together. Thanks for tip.

:glasses-nerdy: That actually looks interesting. The closest thing I had to that was work flowy. But I just dumped stuff there and eventually never did any of it. :desire:

I ended up writing my notes on paper including to do stuff. Its like we both went through the same evolution somehow lol.

I don't think its the usual thing to see. At 30 most people are kind of OK with what they have. Usually at this age most people give up on dreams. Then again I was watching videos of fitness where 60 year old women had better fitness level than young women have today. She started only few years...

Micro hack, but bullet proof for scatter brains, hold your keys in your hand before you shut the door. I never shut any doors, unless I make sure I have the key in one of my hands. Never locked my self out ever since. Bonus hack put your keys in same pocket every time, not life saving, but sure...

I have work ethic too, but as rare as that is, its not always recipe for success nowadays. I feel a lot of times it was net negative for me. Maybe for jobs where effort is rewarded its easier to see upside. I do struggle with discipline of work place.

Yeah and number 10) Never underestimate how self conscious and insecure your brain makes you when you realize you don't know. Lots of unconscious stuff, but when you are older, you know more of what you don't know. It may be relatively crippling and confidence shattering, being aware of just...

I used to think so too. Here is my view now: 1) When you get older, you are more critical of oneself, so even when we learn a lot, we tend to have more harsher measuring stick. 2) We tend to be super critical of mistakes when we get older, even if we are not self critical we are more aware of...

Hi, and welcome back. I am cool with spelling mistakes. Though I can relate. I once tried reading my old posts, it made me dizzy. I don't remember, but what was your dream job, and what changed?

In many ways they are. However I watched hokey for sometime. I have minor performance fetish. When I see 20 something young studs, be outperformed by 45 year old veterans with 40 + injuries, it puts human potential into perspective. Definitely not gonna limit my life with performance myth...

When you are 30 you can no longer afford to be a one trick pony. Does not mean you are stupid or have less potential than a kid. It just means you cannot compete with one track minds. Honest question is your wet dream to spend your childhood pushing horses and towers around to show the world...

I would like to know if you guys have some interesting life habits that keep you in the flow, up and functioning well. Self care habits. Work habits. Relationship habits. Or anything that makes your life doable. Self care habits for me are meditation, even few minutes.

Agree with everything you say here. I am not though coming from a feel good place " you can do it by yourself" Cooperation is essential in any knowledge base endeavor if one wants to surpass or get beyond current knowledge base. Here I disagree. Id say 30 + years is just as good to build...

Yeah, I mean its not possible to deny any more. Its really weird feeling strong emotions at times. Its like my nervous system cannot handle them easily, that I don't suppress the emotions anymore so much. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, it sucks. Emotions are emotions, they come and go. But even psychopaths have emotions. Its just some of them don't help them connecting with people. Anger, fear is hardwired in all people. Anger allows us to move forward, fear allows us to avoid danger, without them we be dead in a day.

I never heard of this, but its interesting. So basically Ferdinand had a bad day. One could explain this simply by viewing the anarchist were strong movement during his reign. Not all anarchist subscribe to violence though. Statistically though there is always that one person who wants to take...

You could do million things with it. Much like all things like using shoes, or singing or walking all things need to be learned. I assume there is no guidelines or meaningful training, and as far as I know no one seems to explain how it works. So it kind of makes sense. I don't know, but...

You sure that is OK with the dog, sounds a lot of strong stuff. Yeah, not sure what type I am, but def sensitive to a lot of different things. Scored 26 in the test you posted. I hate some scents too, strong ones. Used to work fast food, so entering the kitchen was like someone blasted my...

Are you friends with the person who told you that? I personally find communication hard with some people, but I try to learn and vibe with all people as much as possible. Some people who are on the same wavelength can be fun to talk to and easy. Its like sometimes I need to translate what...

Essentially we are apes. But we are smart. Both in one package.

@Black Rose Yes, but you do realize you are still in realm of behavior. Everything you said is "someone does stuff". When I murder a teletuby, its intent + behavior + outcome. The outcome is no murder, then I am not murderer. Otherwise you would have to put in prison every gamer who killed a...

Short term yes. Sometimes long term, but chances are if you get punished and change, you'd change even if you did not get punished, but reprimanded. The reality is many criminals commit crimes after they leave prison. Prisons are good example of how behaviors and change don't always coincide...

How to Have Sex Generally its a teen adolescent movie where girls go to vacation and look for sex. Its a british drama. Watch a bit of today, but its not my cup of tea, if you know what I mean. It felt un engaging. I left early from the movie, as I was really just zone-out. Plus side of the...

First, lots of new ideas and concepts in psychology that exist today or were described, are relatively misunderstood or still being explored, so do take all of this as something not yet well understood and fairly liable to be mistaken for something it is not. Second a link to wiki that...

Yeah, its sad. Had to work hard to acknowledge that. I still catch my self thinking it was good childhood. One therapist online said the best way to see this is "would you want your kids to have the same childhood". The answer is hell no. Though I do not have kids. Yeah, its a lot more work...

Spoiler Alert. Def. saw some good reviews, so its not just my taste that approves.

Self empathy was foreign concept for me. I still work on this to treat my self kindly. I happened to treat my self the way I was conditioned by my parents. Which was recipe for disaster. Some things I am working on. Not self sabotaging my self. Feeling my emotions. Not being hyper critical...

I would caution here, because I thought for some time I might be a psychopath or even narcissistic psychopath. I can be pretty rough. Turns out I had suppressed emotions. I am literally a HSP cry baby. Once I unlocked emotions, a little, I actually have hyper empathy. Completely changed the...

Here is a cool song I watched Godzilla minus one. I seriously recommend this movie, but its dark. The trailer, is poor thought.

What helps is emotional journaling, where I write down emotional stuff. I just write emotional stuff, about the day or past. It helped me a lot. I really don't feel comfortable talking about feelings to people.

Yeah, PD stuff. Generally the problem I found is knowing the PD does not actually make you see the solution. Its worth finding therapist.

lol that meme, so true.

I am going to agree now, and play game, lets say that was it, then in that case Christianity was really just ideal that maybe in some way contested communist ideal. Ideologically I think Christianity is much worse today, but during communism had to be subservient. Today it is in bigger problem...

I believe in Nietzsche time people like him felt like supreme authorities on truth. Yes Nietzsche was good. But he was neither supreme authority or super wise or anything. He had some profound insight and worded in his time and age probably way forward thinking. And in a way he was right...

"We have killed him." Refers to specific enlightenment philosophers, who by Nietzsche standards unraveled, mysticism of religion. Ergo reason surpassed christian mysticism. Only problem for Nietzsche was his prediction came too early. He did not understand humans.
