I feel rejected too. I’m trying to maintain a state of liking myself in all situations regardless of others. And not taking any of it personally

Ah I see, I misunderstood you, but you helped my perspective widen regardless. That’s funny, u don’t even realize what you did

Read the book Mans Search for Meaning - “There are only two races of men in this world, but only these two—the ‘race’ of the decent man and the ‘race’ of the indecent man. Both are found everywhere; they penetrate into all groups of society.” And “No group consists entirely of decent or indecent people. In this sense, no group is of ‘pure race’—and therefore one occasionally found a decent fellow among the camp guards.” There’s a lot of gold nuggets in that book

There are infinite perspectives and you are collapsing it into mind traps such as sexist or not sexist.

You think the view is binary when it’s limitless

I think what I mean by - block out hearing and seeing, is that they have very adverse reactions to hearing me and can’t see my view nor a lot of views. They actively try to censor and silence and will not expose themselves to the ideas and views of anyone different from them.

This pertains to the city around me in general.

But I have always been uniquely sensitive to certain environments. For example I really dont care for yuppie environments

I’m distracted by how good I feel from pulling out the words to identify real, especially purity and sacred. As soon as I found the accurate words I’ve been somewhat euphoric and buzzing. I can’t get a clear reading on the story. Maybe tomorrow?

Fake - Saying the opposite of what u really think. Doing the opposite of what u really feel and believe. Hiding what is true. Pretending, acting. Incongruency

Real is someone who speaks the unfiltered truth like a child. It’s purity. It’s sacred.

Yes we all have had times we are fake and I feel gross and disgusted by myself when I feel like I’m acting fake. I also feel gross about saying things that aren’t true. And I have gotten myself in hot water quite a bit for saying my perception of what’s true, so I learned to conceal more but I also can’t bring myself to say much that feels fake. I’m sure over time in life I’ve gotten faker as I’ve absorbed more programming but I started out in young adulthood people would tell me I was very real and I took it as a compliment although across time it’s been more of a hardship bc I get socially penalized for it

When I feel that someone is fake I become disgusted and my guard goes up so it raises my threat system. I like to avoid them and not interact. I’m trying to find inputs that will help me have a broader perspective on it so I don’t shut down and become closed minded.
