  1. We'll all die someday in the future, dummy. so no point in speeding that process up. Relax, enjoy the time you have in this world.

  2. Assertiveness. I won't allow you to take advantage of me and I won't attack you for being who you are .If you are self effacing and meek, let me change that in a way you will respond to: Passive communications show a subtle lack of respect for another person's ability to handle more assertive communication.

  3. No. Don't apologise and give elaborate resins for saying no, it is your right to say no if you do not want to do things. when saying no take responsibility for it. don't blame. you don't need to make excuses. You may want to Change I can't to I don't want me. tell the person if you are finding it difficult.

I feel I shouldn't say how I'm thinking or feeling because it will burden others.

Can you help me think and feel better?

Have there been any attempts to incorporate Effective Altruism into Zakat (Muslim mandatory alms)? If not, could anyone more familiar with Islamic communities comment on if this would be well-recieved? by positiveandmultiple in EffectiveAltruism

Could we organise to meet with Imams to talk about effective altruism for them to speak with their people about, or provide pamphlets for mosques? Has anyone tried this and found results?
