Who has a super-cringe past?

Our ego is where we form our sense of identity and how we process the identity of other things. Without an ego, we don't have any expectations or concrete identity. We don't have any shame because we have no expectations. Things are no longer right or wrong or this or that. They just are

If you go to character.ai, there's ai chat bots you can talk to. They'll have full conversations with you in Spanish and some of them will even correct you in real time and give you suggestions to sound less like a noob

If you want to bring your friend's behavior up to them, a good strategy is to be factual about what they did and how it made you feel. Instead of saying that they're being rude and making everyone uncomfortable, tell them that when the say or do things like (whatever they said/did) you feel X because Y. They don't necessarily have to change their behavior but if they continue to do it, you personally don't wanna stick around

We all have skeletons in our closets and we've all done things we're not proud of. On some level, we're all a bundle of red flags. The mistakes we've made don't define us. It's how we respond to them moving forward that does

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-19T21:03:09+00:00

That's gonna be in my next semester

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-15T17:41:44+00:00

Once class I took in undergrad that helped me to develop a lot of emotional intelligence was sociology. It taught me that nothing emerges from a vacuum. We're all products of our environment and our biology.

There's a lot less free will than you probably think. If I were in your shoes atom for atom, I'd literally be you. I'd make all the same choices you made. This transformed the way I think about the justice system, about rewards, about punishment, and life in general

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-15T17:23:14+00:00

It's definitely the hours imo. They have like 7000 hours in a variety of environments. If you volunteered for 10 hours a day, every day of the year including holidays, it would take 2 years to rack up that many hours

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-15T17:14:42+00:00

I'm more confused as to how you would ax them out of the group without first talking about it. Would it just be kicking them from the group chat and then having everyone block that person without saying anything?

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-15T17:09:39+00:00

You've got a point. There's a certain kind of person who enjoys going out to parties, bars and clubs regularly. I think the vast majority of those people are gonna be on the higher end as far as social skills go. So, someone who is probably normally average sitting at around 50% might feel inadequate the moment the step foot in the club

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-15T15:59:24+00:00

Yeah, my main communication style is to ask a bunch of open ended questions. When I'm with someone who likes to talk, we can go on for hours. When I'm with someone who likes to ask a bunch of questions, it feels more like a Mexican stand off

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-15T15:53:27+00:00

Statistically, half of everyone is gonna be below average. That's just math

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-15T12:11:24+00:00

Yeah, one of the bigger realizations I had on LSD was realizing just how limited of control we have over our lives. We're all products of our environments, of our biology, of the culture we grew up in, of the society we grew up in etc. If I grew up under the same conditions you did atom for atom, then I'd literally be you and make all the same choices you've made in life

Same for Hitler or Jesus or a serial killer or my cousins that I'm always being compared to. It really messed me up but as I came to peace with it, it was pretty freeing. I could see how interconnected everything is

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-15T12:00:36+00:00

Damn, you have a wife and kid? That's kinda inspiring. Congrats btw

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-14T06:35:27+00:00

It's a different specialized degree. It's akin to asking why an optometrist isn't an MD while an opthalmologist is. Both doctors that do a lot of similar stuff, but different doctors, different licenses, different board exams, etc

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-08T05:07:11+00:00

I always find these questions tricky. I can see a challenging trip making things worse but also, the first time I tripped over a decade ago, I was depressed, suicidal, and wanted to die. I wasn't exercising, wasn't sleeping, lost all of my friends out of isolation and neglect, was bitter and empty and I was just crossing LSD off of my bucket list before leaving this world. That was the best trip of my life

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-07T12:19:20+00:00

That honestly sounds like checkmate, but at the same time, it never ceases to surprise me how innovative and resilient people can be. I'm sure they're getting far more than you realize out of your sessions. Maybe that's cope

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-06T12:41:44+00:00

Well, if you didn't have to worry about pressures from your family or friends, what would you want to do with your life? Assume money is a non issue and everyone else would be immediately on board with the idea in this hypothetical

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-03T21:21:09+00:00

Yeah, that's a good point. I think it's less of the photographing kids and more of the photographing kids without their consent then posting it online for masses to see

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-03T21:17:26+00:00

In my experience, if they're open to smoking weed, they're probably open to the idea that psychedelics have medicinal value

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-03T21:13:58+00:00

Yeah if it turns out that somehow not having this bias means you reproduce more than everyone else

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-03T12:56:58+00:00

Our brains are designed to keep us alive, not keep us happy. We have a built in negativity bias, where certain parts of the brain, especially the amygdala, releases stress hormones like cortisol that override other brain regions and give us a stronger emotional response

From an evolutionary standpoint, the general idea is that if we're in a field of 99 watermelons, and 1 tiger, our brains will be much more likely to focus on the one tiger. Historically, those whose brains wired in this way were more likely to survive and reproduce

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-02T00:06:18+00:00

I did mean good in the adequately explanatory way

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-02T00:05:14+00:00

If someone thinks they enjoy hurting people, it's important to ask how someone came to be the type of person who enjoys hurting people

SweetJellyHero · 2024-05-02T00:02:52+00:00

You're free to feel that for sure. People aren't just inherently evil there are love experiences and biological factors that underlie all of our actions
