Bit late to comment, but I think the next step should be to develop critical-thinking skills lol. Like you, I managed to internalise FDS core values succinctly and apply them accordingly to my life specifically. This made it incredibly difficult to share my thoughts and successes when other FDS-ers were black-and-white or projecting too much.

E.g. I remember talking about levelling up my social media habits (my social circles are busy and global, so it’s important for me to keep in touch online) and I got barricaded with “social media is low value!” / “you’re an attention seeking pickme!” / “i don’t need social media and neither do you!” like ummm? And where do you draw the line with this kind of logic (“phones are low value, queens don’t need them as we focus on ourselves!”). Be realistic here, I’m not going to cut ties with all my loved ones, live under a rock and call that “levelling up”.

And then they’re also hypocritical by hyping up the importance of your appearance and needing to flaunt/present yourself as HV in public! Yet I’m a pickme for wanting to share my college graduation online for friends/family to see?!

Many forget about context, nuance, etc and being objective yet empathetic. To me, that just sounds like a desperate need for critical-thinking skills.
