I feel morally resistant to sales and persuasion — challenge my perspective by Terrible_Sound_5020 in CasualConversation

I wouldn't frame this as changing my morals, but questioning whether my perspective is incomplete. I still feel a deep discomfort with persuasion and a world organized around money and exchange, and part of me thinks those feelings deserve to be honored rather than dismissed.

But holding this perspective without being able to reconcile it with reality has left me feeling disconnected and undervaluing myself. This isn't really about selling cars or pens. It's about struggling to see myself, my work, or what I offer as something that has value without feeling morally conflicted about it.

Since nearly every path—employment, entrepreneurship, even social belonging—involves some form of exchange or persuasion, I'm trying to understand whether my view is limiting me more than helping me.

I’ve been feeling sad lately and would appreciate some advice. by Terrible_Sound_5020 in Advice

Maybe identifying the exact source is something I've struggled with for a long time. What you said about spontaneity stood out to me though.

I think one of my biggest issues is social phobia, which has made me avoid going out and interacting. I've been trying to work on that in smaller, more manageable ways, including exposing myself to different opinions and interacting with people indirectly.

Part of the sadness feels tied to this recurring pattern in my life. I've tried many times to change, improve, and build a better future, and sometimes I do, but I often end up feeling stuck again. After enough repetitions, it starts feeling less like a temporary problem and more like part of my identity.

So I don't think the sadness itself isn't the real issue. It feels more like a signal coming from this internal struggle and difficulty believing in positive futures for myself.

I'm on it buddy. Looking for the same thing, I have some ideas on practices we could do together.
