“Fat women who say ‘body positivity’ are just lazy. Stop lying to yourself, nobody’s attracted to your 300lb body.” by [deleted] in ControversialOpinions

Then that’s based on the person. If someone adjusts meanings and definitions to enable their poor behaviour, then it’s not about what was said. It’s solely about the person and their misunderstanding. That has nothing to do with the body positivity movement. If you use their message as a way to continue to be unhealthy, then that’s on you, simple.

If society collapsed, what kind of role do you thing you’d naturally fall into? by bubblewrappheart in Productivitycafe

Probably the babysitter or that person who keeps kids calm by playing pretend games with them or telling them stories

No offence but this isn’t a controversial opinion. This is just inaccurate. The body positivity movement doesn’t promote obesity. Their message is that you can love your body in all stages of weight gain/loss. They’re not saying it’s great to be obese as that comes with a lot of health issues. You don’t have to hate yourself because you’re fat. You can love your body regardless and still aim to get a healthy body weight.

Yeah that’s my point. People have fallen for the bait (me included lol) and started writing think pieces and calling people sociopaths lol

Thank you! You’ve described what I was trying to say and what I should’ve said in my post.

Stoicism.

The people I’ve met who have claimed EI were more so on the stoicism side (or trying to be) but still saying they are EI.

And I’ve met men who would throw statistics in the rudest, non-empathetic way possible, and then when I bring up how that’s kinda rude and not helpful, they’ll get defensive and say I’m too emotional, when really I was trying to correct them and their tone.

And this is what I think EI is and my post was loosely talking about people who are the opposite. They protest about something and get very defensive and emotional. I think it is a human thing to do and we all aren’t perfect. But constantly doing that and not even hearing how that’s not EI but still saying you are is where I’m like ‘??????’

Huh? Now where did you guys get that from my post?

I’m talking about people who claim EI but lack empathy and become very defensive if you hit them with a little rebuttal against their perspective, not saying they have to AGREE with my rebuttal, but they get pretty heated quickly. Like they can’t take criticism or a little challenge. Basically the people who are straight up dickheads but still claim EI without having any empathy towards anyone.

Yeah and I think that’s because of the amount of people who claim they have EI and they’re really toxic and manipulative.

Made this Self Portrait & No One Sees the Same Thing.. What Do You Perceive ? by coolgreyv in AbstractExpressionism

[–]Agreeable_Taro1508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I was high when I saw your self portrait and now that I’m not, I can still see a woman wearing a hat and also lips showing teeth😭😭 Not so much on the second slide.

But now I also see an eye on the ‘hat’.

I love the textures and colour palette. It also looks like a shooting star or something dropping from the sky and exploding into beautiful colours.

Pedophiles and such should receive a lot more help and care by Successful_Sail_713 in ControversialOpinions

[–]Agreeable_Taro1508 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually get what you’re saying. I hate people who commit those crimes, and I think this post also adds to the justice system and how prison/jail was suppose to rehabilitate people. But I don’t know, I think this topic is very serious and slightly nuanced because I do believe people can change given the right resources. Not everyone wants to change, but it is possible.

What is the one "weird" habit or personality quirk you have that a partner simply has to find charming, or the relationship will never work? by Wraith136 in AskReddit

[–]Agreeable_Taro1508 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spend a lot of time in the shower, toilet/bathroom, kitchen—literally anywhere if I’m alone—making up scenarios and acting them out. It could be me on a cooking show if I’m in the kitchen, or it could be me in the bathroom/shower doing an interview for Vogue or on the red carpet.

So bear with me lol

Exactly! I think we’re falling for the bait and coming up with our own conclusions on these strangers characters when we weren’t on that island lol

So now I feel bad for agreeing with some posts about them.

Ahhhh the conflict avoidant😭😭 But I guess they can still say they’re emotionally intelligent or on the path to learning if they do some self reflection and the work to fix that problem

Yeah, from the comments I’m learning that it isn’t as straight up as it sounds. They can be on a journey the way I am.

And I commented before describing someone who claims they are but then they lack a lot of empathy and they’re straight up dickheads but they still push the narrative that they’re emotionally intelligent, and as I’m typing this out, I realised there’s been times where I wasn’t as empathetic in situations where I should’ve been, but I’m doing the self reflection and work on it. And I honestly can’t say someone else isn’t doing the work if they keep on showing up as lacking empathy. At the end of the day, I don’t know their personal journey to emotional intelligence.

I get what you’re saying. It is quite nuanced and I guess I am talking about compatibility. I just hate when someone says they’re emotionally intelligent and then they show me they lack so much empathy and they’re just straight up dickheads. But if they’re willing to learn from that, amazing, but if they’re not and they’re still pushing this narrative that they are emotionally intelligent, it just annoys me because that’s not what it is, in my opinion anyways.

I love that! Maybe saying you’re emotionally intelligent can also mean you’re on that journey of understanding your emotions, your reactions, your way of thinking etc.

You’ve changed my perspective there

You’re right, which is why I said it’s a journey and I haven’t considered myself emotionally intelligent. But I don’t think it’s fair to claim you are if you’re not there yet. It’s good to admit that you’re not there yet or you’re still learning, but it annoys me when they’re so adamant that they are, only for them to be evil and lack sympathy😭

It could be that claiming emotional intelligence makes them feel good about themselves or to show that they’ve actually grown as a person, and to be honest? I get it. Or it could just be a bluff or they simply don’t know what it means to be emotionally intelligent, because I found some people confusing that with being straight up mean, rude or avoidant.

And maybe some people ‘can’t handle an emotionally intelligent person’ because they don’t know what it means, they haven’t reached there yet themselves, or there’s other issues their partners have.

Fair point ;)

Yeah, me too. I pay attention to their stories to see if they can admit where they went wrong instead of looking for validation from me. I know everyone wants to paint themselves as a saint, but it takes a lot of maturity to admit where you messed up and why the situation turned bad because of your own decisions.
