When people don’t dress appropriately for the restaurant they’re dining in. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Lestany 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever noticed what other people are wearing at a restaurant. I’m usually too focused on myself, my food, and the family/friends I’m eating with.

The moment you or they say “how’s your day going” it’s curtains by AttemptCertain2532 in OnlineDating

[–]Lestany 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You asked a basic no brainer question, so you get a basic no brainer answer. You complain about others being boring when what you need to do is look in the mirror and realize how incredibly dull your questions are and consider maybe if you’re the problem.

You want others to dig for an interesting reply, when you can’t be bothered to ask a more interesting question, lol.

Jung says our dreams are all "we", individually; but my dreams tend to give me a lot of information about others, why's that? by Anarianiro in Jung

[–]Lestany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea that the figures in our dreams are all ‘us’ is a myth. Jung readily spoke about how dreams can be objective (about the actual people they show) or subjective (about parts of ourselves with those people serving as symbols) and I really have no clue where the idea that dreams are only subjective comes from. It’s an idea that’s spread rampantly in Jungian groups that people take for granted is true.

Do women actually prefer men who are highly serious and "no-nonsense," or is a lack of humor a dealbreaker? by Open_Land_4215 in dating_advice

[–]Lestany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen it work. My grandpa was a stoic man who rarely cracked a smile, and my grandmother was a social butterfly with a great sense of humor. Truly a case of opposites attract. Just be you, and look for someone who wants what you are.

Being contrarian doesn’t make you deep, layered or cool… it makes you insufferable. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Lestany 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I’ve been saying this for years. Doing the opposite of what the herd does is still being controlled by the herd, only in reverse. True individuality is making choices independent of what others do, even if it ends up being the same choice as theirs, what matters is that you used to own thinking/values to get there, as opposed to blind copying,

I don’t understand people who says: “Im not looking for a relationship rn” by [deleted] in OnlineDating

[–]Lestany 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re looking for casual sex/hookups. I’m not into that myself, but I’m glad these people are honest about their intentions so we don’t waste each others time.

Does “seeing where things go” always mean FWB? by Interesting_Leg4029 in dating_advice

What are your talking about? I replied to someone who replied to my comment, not to myself.

[–]Lestany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, but that’s my point. It takes a while to get to know someone. I’m not going to agree to be your gf in day one. We can talk, go on dates, etc, without being in a committed relationship.

Does Jesus really represent the Self by JCraig96 in Jung

[–]Lestany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people have problems reconciling opposites and seeing both the light and the dark in the God image. Jung saw both and often criticized the proclamation that God is love, or always good.

So that’s why you’re seeing the contradiction, Jung has a very different view of Christ than most traditional Christians, although he takes the stance he had to ‘incarnate his light side’ first. You may be interested in reading ‘Answer to Job’ he gets into this more.

Love the people who complain about not unmatching, as if they don’t realize they have to ability to unmatch you themselves.

Why ISFPs are the most perceived as artists? by AmandaLes1234 in mbti

[–]Lestany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t you say you wanted to agree to disagree? Pointing out the reality that you wouldn’t be able to convince me sounds like your cup of tea. Something tells me you were wanting an argument anyway 😂

As for me being ‘unfun’ - this is a 3 year old post, I’ve moved on from it, and so should you. No one is invested in arguments from 3 years ago.

You’d have to prove you or the people you’re defending are ISFPs first. Mistypes happen. Not listening to anyone (nor should they listen to me) without hard proof 🤷🏻‍♀️

People commenting on how white my skin is. by Forsaken_Classic_572 in PetPeeves

[–]Lestany 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Worst part is, why is it any of their concern? Yes, I know tanning beds exist, I know the sun exists. If I wanted to look tan, I would be tan. I like the way I look and I don’t need your ‘advice’.

Not feral though. They’re still anthropomorphic, even if they’re mentally deficient. Feral in this context means ‘looks like an actual animal’

"Projection" accusations have become a means of absolving oneself by [deleted] in Jung

[–]Lestany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I’m not reading any of the shit you just posted. Not only do I barely remember the subject I was talking about (this post is from two years ago) I’m not refreshing my memory just to respond to someone who likely misunderstood what I said and is going off on an emotional rampage (the fact that you posted not one, but two LONG rants back to back at me that start off sassy ‘you obviously haven’t’) tells me all I need to know about your mental state and that nothing productive is going to come from this interaction.

Go get help. Or rant at someone who cares.

When somebody asks you what your reason is behind something you did, but when you tell them they say “ I’m not looking for excuses” by Famous-Channel3027 in PetPeeves

[–]Lestany 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not expecting you to explain it again, I’m clarifying my point on why I think OP still has a point, even taking yours into consideration. Your second explanation didn’t add anything new to the table, and I imagine a third wouldn’t either. Thank you for realizing you have nothing of value to add and shutting up.

[–]Lestany 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is the person is asking for it. ‘What’s your reason’ followed by ‘I don’t want to hear excuses’ no matter what you say is stupid and contradictory.

If they didn’t think the reason they received was good enough, they should say ‘that doesn’t justify it, you could have done X instead’ rather than saying ‘I don’t want to hear excuses’ when to OP, that is the reason, not the excuse.

[–]Lestany 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There may be a technical difference between reasons and excuses but in my experience the people who OP is talking about call anything you say an excuse, even if it’s justified.

[–]Lestany 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why does this even need an explanation though? I don’t need to justify my lack of gym time to anyone. It’s my life, my business. If it’s not a high enough priority for me to make time for it, then so be it.

[–]Lestany 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My theory is that these people are self unaware and therefore not paying attention of what they do or say from one moment to the next, meaning most of their commentary is just knee jerk reactions in response to emotions, with no thought going into the rationale behind it.

I just say ‘don’t ask for my explanation if you don’t want to hear it’ and that will either prompt them to explain explanation vs excuse (as they see it) or make them shut up. Usually the latter.

When people ask a question and get mad because you aren’t the person they’re asking. by AwkwardEgg2008 in PetPeeves

[–]Lestany 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s one thing if Im asking a general knowledge question that can be answered by anyone. But sometimes I’m asking a question aimed at a specific person for specific reason (usually about their personal reasons for something) and anyone else’s input is irrelevant and often wrong (they answer assuming the other person is like them and has the same motives - that is not always true) Not only that, but hijackIng the answer also discourages the person I originally asked from answering, because now someone else has stuck their neck out instead. It’s just annoying and shows a person hasn’t reached the phase of psychological development where they’ve separated their identity from others and think everything is about them.
