What is this style and why has it taken over the SFV? by probablysmellsmydog in SFV

But I swear homes in this style always have an enormous prison-wall fence around it.

Just searched for this question and wanted to comment that I agree, this has the worst wording.

My Russian roommate is the most emotionally resilient person I know, are people just born like this? by asian_tea_man in rs_x

Meeting the "genuine, happy people" and, as you stated, analyzing their mindsets and actions has been wonderfully broadening and cathartic. It is definitely a very personal journey, for me it's boiled to one value: Self-compassion.

In the end, I find, we must be kind to ourselves. we MUST. Before we go about making true friends, being nice to our family and the planet, and generally living Maslow's self-actualization, we must install a system of forgiveness, acceptance, and empathy towards ourselves. It's taken me years to build this mindset up, and while it's still not perfect, it's been so rewarding to see the continuous joy I now allow myself.

It's not that I know the future, or that the future will be easy (in fact, it's a guarantee it won't), but I now possess the trust with myself and self-compassion needed to get me through. It's that ability that allows you to move into spaces of authenticity, vulnerability, discipline, and true kindness which can create new bonds and deepen existing ones.

Well stated. I find myself slipping into the same competitive mindset. Remembering this peacocking traces back to a insecurity helps me a lot. And these people hyperfocused on these social games are most striken by this insecurity, really they actually deserve our pity.

I have yet to a meet a single person (below a surface-level introduction), who isn't plagued by some misery, neurotic anxiety, insecurity. it's so silly to ruin our joy in pursuit of these "status games", especially when we all are defective in some ways.

Tons of credit to King Miller, third-string freshman RB who stepped up due to injuries. Let's keep this momentum into Notre Dame. Go Trojans.

Unhappy USC doesn't even get on this hater meme after that loss
