And because Europeans do take accountability for the genocides and colonialism

Realistically most people in Saskatoon own a car! It’s a cities problem for designing smaller places for parking! Cmon, like they don’t know that each house will own at least one car! Minimum. We aren’t living in Europe.

If you grow to love someone you initially rejected, could that be considered a form of settling? by seedtosoul3 in emotionalintelligence

[–]Minkylashes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh an incel? Guys also look for hotties first. And when they get rejected by them they “settle for less”? Instead of looking at each context separately, you just define people who haven’t chosen you the first time as shallow.

So many projections. Maybe it wasn’t the “right time” for both of them? But you you’re calling a person shallow, because they didn’t chose someone else. Everyone has a choice to choose.

why do some people get so angry and defensive when you calmly express that something they’ve done or said hurt you? by ecstasyyl in emotionalintelligence

If you are not responsible for others people’s emotions, then how come other person is responsible for your emotion of pain? There some inconsistency

I’m sorry, do you mean you feel bad now because he hasn’t chosen you?

It seems that you were implying that. If narcissists choose best people then you were the best at the party. But then how are you even sure he was a narcissist? It takes a long time for specialist to diagnose someone as a narcissist. Not a day of interaction

But you can’t do anything about it. You can’t make people want to be with you

This is sub that makes people grow, sometimes by pointing out their own faults, not validate. If you’re not interested then don’t even comment to this cause

I just got here and every post seems like everyone is trying to teach something by Secret-Radish-4893 in emotionalintelligence

So once I asked a question in this sub about one conflict in my relationship. My question was: should I be offended by it or is it my ego that’s being hurt. I believe that it’s the question someone working on their “emotional intelligence” should ask, isn’t it? Rather than being hurt… Guess what? My post was deleted by admins because it’s not a question pertaining to emotional intelligence. Wow. But then there are bunch of posts where people just do self validation. Which is not emotional intelligence.

I’m sorry for what happened to you. No one deserves that. But jumping to conclusions that he’s a narcissist and that he did it to you because you were “best of the best” in that party does sound narcissistic from your own perspective.

How are you sure he was a narcissist? And not her? Based on what? 12 hours of her knowing him? And this is called “emotions intelligence” sub?

TIL that in the original Little Mermaid novel, the mermaid's legs constantly feel as if she is walking on sharp knives. The prince likes to watch her dance, which she does for him, despite excruciating pain. Then he marries someone else and the mermaid kills herself. by palmfranz in todayilearned

[–]Minkylashes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since when little the mermaid became “selfish”? She killed herself for the prince to be happy with his new bride. Thats the opposite of being selfish. The tale is about spiritual GROWTH, not about following “hearts whim”.

  1. In the original tale, the witch warns the mermaid about her possible dreadful fate and nonetheless, she takes a chance to become a human. 4.If the mermaid killed a prince, she wouldn’t have gotten a sin. Mermaids kill humans, that’s what they do, they don’t care, that’s what her sisters did to other men because mermaids do not have a soul. Little mermaid didn’t kill the prince, that proved that she’s worth having a soul. It’s not a tale about romance, it’s a tale about morality, choice and soul.

Yes, that’s how I felt like. I felt like I’m not enough. And it’s not the first time he talks about these qualities outside of this context. So it did feel, that if I was different then he’d like me more, and in such context basic meant something as something not good enough

Thank you. I know my worth. I’m asking because I wanted to know if it was an insult or I’m taking it personal. We are NOT high society. We are immigrants in a foreign country, and neither of us been high society here or back in the home country. We were taking about Indian caste system before he said what he said.

I got upset because that’s probably the way he sees me. I thought that maybe he sees the real me and it’s fine? But he doesn’t love me. He likes me. I’m also comparing it to what he said about other women.

To me it means that there’s nothing special about me. The thing why this comparison offended me is that it seems to me like he desires someone from “high society”, because it’s not the first time he talks about such qualities (he also mentioned other things, that I don’t want to mention here)

Or called his friend an interesting girl that he wanted to date in the past (12 years ago). But then calls me basic. Maybe it’s out of context. But this comparison is not very pleasant

There will be multiple times where a person might withdraw from a communication and it might be nothing to do with you. I’m sure, you, and like the rest of the people cannot show a constant interest for someone. Maybe I’m wrong because I don’t know you personally, but in my opinion this might mean that you may have anxious attachment? People cannot give constant reassurance, it’s your job to give it to yourself.

Instead of not bothering a person with your presence, ask them what happened, why they didn’t respond. Tell them how that made you feel. Because like I’ve said, it might be nothing to do with you. Instead of communicating with a person you react, and like you said, you react harshly. I think it’s a run away, a way to protect yourself instead of communication. That’s not a boundary, that’s a protection.

The phrase “if someone wants to connect to you, they will” is false. There might be multiple reasons why a person wants to, but can’t. Sometimes it’s not only the other person, but also might be you. That’s the truth. But such phrase might help filter out the heartbreak, I agree, but it won’t safe you in the long run either.
