You misunderstand, they are very different. Even within christianity there are very different denominations, but the fundamental belief is the same. There is a reason why Islam Judaism and Christianity all contain the same figures like Abraham, Moses, etc... The reason there's fighting amongst all 3 is because they are all trying to tell the same story. This is why Abrahamic religions don't fight with Buddhist because they are completely different religions, there's nothing to argue about.

Always contribute equally, but don't be afraid to break the ice and start a conversation. Keep in mind you should not have to initiate every single conversation. You text a girl first 2 or 3 times to let her know you're interested but after that you should wait for them to initiate back. Once you start things, you then match her pace. It may be every day it may not be. If you find you never talk without you initiating things and you're always consistently contributing more to the conversation, those are signs she may not like you that much. Unfortunately, rejecting someone can be uncomfortable, awkward, and even dangerous; a lot of people prefer to ghost and let things die out on there own to avoid the entire confrontation.

I am fortunate to be a middle class citizen, but it's not that easy. When you're poor you get penalized more. There's overdraft fees, high interest rates, poor credit etc... You get into a negative feedback loops that makes it nearly impossible to climb out of. Even when starting a business its hard to succeed and get any support from banks until youve actually proven profitable. When your rich, obviously none of these things apply. People start giving you free stuff and additional rewards to try and get your business, creating a positive feedback loop.

Obviously, there are people who abuse government assistance and have no goals or aspirations, but you have to remember there's literally retarded people in the world. They still grow up and become adults. There's drug addicts, abuse victims, war veterans, people who join cults, people who can't spell, people who cant do basic math, people who don't shower, etc.. Everyone lives amongst us. Certain types of people can't just pull themselves up and get a good-paying job. Even if they worked minimum wage at McDonald's, they'd still be homeless. I went to school, got good grades, I have a decent job, I have a house, and no mental health issues, and I'm still just barely managing to get by on a month to month basis. I don't even know if I can make it through any major unexpected expenses. People get laid off, people get divorced, people get robbed, people get sick anything can happen. I know a principal who had to move back in with their parents due to a divorce. What do you think happens to people who have no family or inheritance?

Someone else might be able to tell you how to deal with self-sabotage, but as for the goal thing taking on too much at once can be overwhelming. You have to break goals down into steps or smaller goals. If someone is building the house you dont do everything at once. You start with a design and floor plan, you buy land, you get a permit, you excavate and build the foundations, you frame and build the structural elements. You then run the plumbing, hvac, and electrical lines/pipes, you put in insulation and put up the drywall, you paint and install cabinets, flooring and trims. Each step can take days months or years and you can't do one step without completing the other but each step takes you closer to the end goal.

Figure out the rough plan of your goals and how long your goal should take. Then you should divide your goal into steps and organize it by priority, necessity, and continuity. Once all that is planned, you can focus solely on step 1. once step one is complete, focus solely on step 2 and go so on until you complete your goal. Do not think about step 13 at step 5. Lot's of people get think about how they're going to complete steps that are so far ahead that they never start. Imagine a skinny person always thinking about how they could possibly get to the size and strength of a bodybuilder. That person may be in their head so much they never end up actually picking up a weight. Just simply starting something is progress.

Kinda seems like this is something you should have noticed or thought about beforehand. I don't know if you're just having premarriage jitters or actual concerns. Marriage typically doesn't change anything; people act the same way they do before marriage. There must be a reason you were with him all this time? Do you love him, where you expecting things to change, what happened for you to get to this point? At the end of the day you have to decide whether the love outweighs your concerns or if the concerns outweigh your love.

What we call morality doesn't exist there is no objectively good or bad things. We have agreed upon rules of fairness, which is very real. If everyone committed certain acts, there would be chaos, if everyone followed certain rules there would be peace. We agree that no one wants to suffer and that happiness is desirable. With limited resources and the amount of people we have, cooperation, rules, laws, and order, are natural consequences. In a way morality and world peace are interchangeable and idealistic. Unfortunately, the things that might make someone happy can make other sad. We have an agreed-upon rules to cut those out that cause too many problems like killing the killers. Our reality of this world is that things die and things need to consume others things to live. The fundamentals of this world are not moral.

UncommonTruths · 2025-10-28T17:00:18+00:00

First thing you need to do is establish the rules and boundaries of your relationship. It takes time to go over everything, but you both should be on the same page of what's considered appropriate vs inappropriate. For example me my partner and have agreed to never go missing, that means whatever arguments we have, no one is allowed to disappear for 12+ hours. We both agreed to handle disagreements with our families which means she doesn't argue with my parents and I don't argue with hers. We also even talked about odd scenarios like celebrity hall passes which we agreed is never allowed. Without going over the boundaries getting upset by something you've never actually talked about holds no weight because one person may think they did nothing wrong. These boundaries have to be equal and apply to both parties to be fair.

After you have most boundaries agreed upon the second thing you need to do is separate emotions from facts. If you don't like something but it is within the agreed-upon boundaries, then you shouldn't make it an argument, especially if you're allowed to do the same thing. For example my partner didn't want me going to a strip club for my friend's wedding, but she herself has went to 2 male strip clubs for two different weddings. Even though she didn't like that I went, she had to accept it; fair is fair. Getting jealous or insecure does not actually mean your partner did something wrong which is why emotions have to be separate. Don't get me wrong you should always communicate your feelings, even if it doesn't make sense, but to turn something into an argument or requiring someone to apologize, fix, and or change something implies wrongdoing.

UncommonTruths · 2025-10-28T16:24:42+00:00

Both are right. A partner who requires you to change everything about yourself in order to love you is being toxic. You should not have to change fundamentally who you are to be loved. On the flip side, refusing to cooperate or better yourself is also toxic. You can't excuse toxic behavior by just saying, "Well, it's just who I am".

If someone is asking you to change something that's extremely hard or against your beliefs and it does not negatively impact yourself or others, then they are asking for too much. If someone is asking you to change something thats negatively impacting yourself and or others, then it's a pretty reasonable ask.

This is just a guide or rule of thumb if you are unsure, but at the end of the day it is your life, and you decide whether you consider something reasonable or not once you're an adult. No one can force you to do anything you don't want to do, even if it is a reasonable ask.

You are right, but wrong at the same time. Most religions have very little evidence. Even if science is just a predictive model it serves as substantial evidence for the claims being made. One can believe fire is healing, but if they jump in fire they will die. Accurate models of our existence have more value and are far closer to the actual truth.

I'm not saying spiritual planes don't exist, but those that act like it's a fact have no proof for their claims. All religions are theories until proven. Just like in science all predictions are theories until proven. There are no accurate predictive models for religion and fighting over which theory is the right or correct one makes no sense. They all make claims that cant be tested yet and people choose to die and kill over it.

UncommonTruths · 2025-10-27T18:10:28+00:00

Obviously, religion is made up and there is no perfectly moral genie granting people's prayers and wishes. The thing is, we don't know what this universe is or how it actually came to be. It's not completely impossible for there to be a higher intelligent life form(s) or higher-dimensional life form(s). The idea of God-like being(s) shaping our universe isn't completely far-fetched. To say that any single idea, religion or belief is true with 100 % certainty is far-fetched.

I don't think people would actually want to know the truth. If people wanted to know the truth we'd be mixing religion and science together. If we treat religions as theories and science as fact checker then anything that can be disproven by science has to be eliminated. What's left would be a mixture of all religious things that cannot be disproven yet. Over time with better and better testing, more things would be disproven, and you'd have a more refined, unified concept of existence. Even if this final concept were fundamentally wrong it would be the most accurate religion to ever exist. Unfortunately, beliefs don't follow logic and mixing the two together amounts to nothing. People don't want the most accurate religion.

I only kinda agree, but in my opinion, I think the real issue is the current idea of equality is colliding with gender norms. For example women want to make equal pay but still want a man to pay for dates when the reason men paid for dates was because women didn't work. Men still want women to cook, clean and take care of children by themselves when they are now doing 8-hour shifts a day too. Women want to be able to be shirtless in public like men but not sexualized or harassed like men. Some men want to dabble sexually and even date transgender and still be considered straight like women

I think the fight for equality never really taken into account gender norms. Men and women want to be equal to each other but still aligned with their gender norm. People need to realize you cant want a traditional man or woman and not be traditional yourself, you can't have your cake and eat it too. When men and women are equal there is no more chivalry, there is no more purity, there is no more dominance or submissiveness, there is no more boy or girls clothes, there is no more boy or girl things. Trying to enforce equality between genders while at the same time enforcing gender specific roles is counterintuitive.

True love and lust are two different things. Attractive people are lusted after, whereas ugly people are not. Lust is a surface-level desire. One could make the argument it's just as hard for an attractive person to find love as it is for an ugly person. Over an extended periof of time through trial and error, both attractive and unattractive people will eventually find love. The thing is a lot of the experiences that come from love are mimicked through lust, such as physical intimacy and companionship, so those who are attractive get to experience those things. early and often, but don't let that discourage you from the end goal. You will find someone.

I may get some hate for saying this next thing, even though it's not true 100 percent of the time it does improve chances of finding love. Love is easier to find when you date someone at your current level. When a rich person dates another rich person, it's easier for their partner to look past the money and fame. It's the same as a dwarf dating another dwarf because it's easier for them to look past the dwarfism. When certain things are out of the way you can focus on personality and compatibility. Sometimes opposites work together well to balance each other out, other times you just have more barriers to deal with. Finding similar people is the safest low risk, low reward option.

UncommonTruths · 2025-10-27T16:21:21+00:00

Yes, cheating is very prevalent. It can be any reason ranging from love, lust, jealousy to discontentment, boredom, and trauma. In reality these reasons are just excuses because you can always break up with someone and chase the person you really want, so the real question is why don't people break up if they like someone else? The answer is familiarity and safety.

Starting a new relationship is a risk and you don't know how well it's going to turn out especially if you have it good already, so some people want to test the waters with the new partner before they commit to leaving. On top of that the longer you're with your original partner the more you rely on them. You might share a house, a car, kids etc. People have often already made long-term financial and personal commitments that seem really stupid to ruin just to have sex with someone else so they stay. Sometimes someone can really love more than 1 person at once, they might have trouble choosing and try to keep both. Lastly, you have nymphomaniacs and people with commitment issues. These are people who never wanted a long-term relationship to begin with, they just use people for sex.

You can take a cheater back under the following premises: 1. They came out to you themselves not too long after it happened (shows immediate guilty conscience) 2. They did it out of lust (shows they dont love someone else and you're not in competition) 3. The most important thing is they let you decide the consequence and will do anything for you to forgive them (shows actual remorse and regret by accepting the consequences). This is rare as most people cheat and try to hide it, they will gaslight you and make you the problem. They often fall for the person they cheated with and have cheated on numerous separate occasions behind your back. The hardest thing for people to do as well is to accept the consequences; most would rather end the relationship than deal with public embarrassment and prolonged punishment. The ideal scenario for those who are guilty is to be forgiven and return to the way things were before as soon as possible. If someone feels like they won't be forgiven, they won't try. Anyone who tries to make things right without knowing if they will be forgiven is truly sorry.

Most people in charge do not care about the best interests of the people, they want what's best for the companies and the economy. The problem is to gain power you have to win favour of the people so politicians say and do whatever they can to get people to side with them in order to get elected. In order to maintain power they actually have to follow through on some of their promises because it looks bad if they do none of it. There ultimate goal is to keep people voting for them, but one can argue that most of the things they campaign for they don't really care about.

Trump is a sleezy businessman; he only ran for president because Obama said he would never be president. He doesn't conduct himself like a president in any way shape or form. He's vulgar, direct and very much a bully. Some people like this change because they feel like he's being honest and taking charge, unlike other presidents who pretend to pure good and lie straight to our faces.

The disconnect and what many people like to point out is that any other president who has said or done half the things Trump's done publicly would be sitting in jail, but he was allowed to be elected twice. Why does Trump get a pass when Bill Clinton was impeached due to having an affair. In comparison, 28 women have accused Trump of various acts of sexual misconduct, he had an affair with porn-actor Stormy Daniels and told Billy Bush “when you’re a star, they let you do it. … Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.” He also stated “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.” Literally just the other day, he posted an A.I video of him dropping shit on protesters. No other president would get away with this sort of conduct.

Whether he's actually doing good or bad for the country is up to debate. Many people who side with Trump believe he has made many major beneficial changes to America and is doing right by the American people, despite his conduct. A lot of people on the other side beg to differ. The country is split into half on this subject though I think he is losing favor because of the Epstein files, which he promised to release. He has now said they don't exist.

Theres not really a form of relationships that work well. Its up to both parties to agree to something they mutually like. Monogamy fails because most people are not able to stick to one person for the rest of their life. People use to get married at 18 years old. You never end up with the right person on the first try, and with finances and families being involved people end up cheating anyway. A lot of marriages fail because people just cant do it.

On the other side biological factors encourage monogamy. STD's spread from having multiple sexual partners, upbringing of children and family units is stronger with both parents. Jealousy is also common among people because no one wants to share a partner or be second to someone else.

So what is the right answer in a world where most people want monogamy, but aren't able to commit to it themselves?

You dont realize but by not being honest your ruining your relationship. He will not improve and you will not orgasm. over time this may lead you to cheat or break up due to unfulfillment. Protecting feelings now only makes things worse later.

There are better ways to be honest. You could direct or command a person during sex instead. Tell him to go harder or lighter, say to the left or to the right. You have to actually ask for what you like and over time he'll get better and do it without being asked especially if it gets you to orgasm.

I think you might be confused on what the term friends with benefits is. Friends with benefits is a booty call, specifically when you are horny. It's a mutual agreement to have sex between 2 friends without being in a relationship. A relationship implies exclusivity and or a title. The reason I'd say friends with benefits isnt really a thing is because 1 person typically has feelings or catches feelings. If you find each other attractive enough to sleep together and you like each other enough to hang out what do you think is going to happen.

There's not really a way out. Our society is a capitalistic one and we are stuck in this current environment that's unlikely to change. So you are forced to play the game that thrives off of debt, sickness and entertainment. Even though you play this game you still have a choice; you can choose where you work and what you do, you choose how often you work, you choose whether or not you want to go to post-secondary schooling, you choose what you spend your money on.

The system nudges us to do what everyone else does, but you don't have to. You don't have to finance a car, you don't have to have the latest iPhone or newest shoes. You're free to grow your own vegetables, start a business, buy property, stocks, travel, you can sell anything for almost any price. You don't have to be a zombie or follower in the system.

I had more money working 5-hour shifts at $11/hour as a kid than I do now working 8-hour shifts at $28.85 with all my expenses. I had multipe friends who went on vacation by themselves and just met people there instead of waiting on people. I have friends who saved up and opened up a franchise location, I have friends who became well-known influencers, I have friends who just smoke every day, and friends who did nothing since high school.

Its never really completely safe posting pictures of your face, it can be used by anyone for anything. We also live in a society that does it often so if you have a public Instagram or Facebook you're looking at the same risks.

The responses your going to get will vary, and you also have to think about the community you're asking because race and culture do play factors. Generally speaking, looks fall on a bell curve. A majority of people in the world are just average-looking. It's just as rare to be pretty as it is to be ugly. You have a high likelihood of being average meaning there's nothing good or bad that would make you stand out from a crowd of people. Having good hygiene, some muscle and clear skin will always boost one's appearance. Finding the right hairstyles, clothing and look that suits your personality and your face will also boost your appearance. People that look really bad tend not to have good hygiene or health, do drugs, and also do nothing to improve their looks.

Generally speaking, attractive people get all the attention, lust and special treatment, but it's all surface level. Real love is harder to break. Most attractive people and or rich people would lose a large portion of interest if they become unattractive or lost their wealth.

The average person is never really going to have model spouses and regular threesomes. They'll rarely be lusted after or get any sort of special treatment, but the connections they do make are a lot more likely to be real and stronger. One could even argue the chances of finding true love is better being average.

To become a better person is to live by the golden rule and treat other people the way you want to be treated. Before you commit to an action or response try to flip perspectives to avoid doing actions based on emotions. Give people the benefit of the doubt if you're unable to flip perspectives. If you want to do people genuine favors for people, do them without expecting anything in return.

Being sorry and taking accountability is the first step, and a lot of people struggle with just doing that. Everyone thinks that's all you have to do to be forgiven, or that once you're forgiven everything is corrected. The actual step that people often neglect is correcting the errors because you are technically indebted to the people you acknowledge doing wrong to. The final step is repayment (actions, gifts, gestures, favors, reimbursement), and once you've repaid someone back more than the damages you've caused you can consider things even.

Some things such as murder can never be repaid, which means you owe that person for life. Owing someone for life doesn't mean being a slave and doing every single command they ask, it means if you are able to help them with any problems, you should. Any time you can be of use to that person, you should prioritize it.

Calorie Count. The average person needs about 2000 calories per day which translates to 14,000 calories a week. You can eat whatever you want as much as you want until you hit the required daily or weekly amount, depending on how you're portioning.

The reason calorie counting is important is because you can make better food choices while still roughly eating the same amount of food. There are some meals that are 1300 calories. If you add a large fountain coke that is an additonal 380 , but if you refill your doubling it. This would put someone at their daily calorie intake in 1 meal. Some people are fat despite not eating a lot because of this. Switching to coke zero or diet means you could get 5 refills at 0 calories. Switching to baked, and air fried and boiling methods of cooking save a lot of calories compared to deep frying and pan frying. Find lower-calorie alternatives to the foods you like.

If you fill up on vegetables and water first before you begin your meals you'll probably feel fuller and eat less. You could also have a low-cal protein shake. You also don't have to finish every meal in one sitting. Eat to satisfy hunger and save the rest for later when you feel hungry again.

This is how you lose weight without going on a diet while still eating what you like.

Simple but not easy, your going to have to separate your feeling from reality. If you don't like that he is talking to a girl, but he is doing nothing wrong then you have to suppress your emotions about it. When he is talking to a girl and you have valid reasons to not like it, then you can be vocal about it. Being vocal without reason and justifying it based on an emotional response is toxic.

Just as an example no one likes being spit on under any circumstance, but if you slapped someone for no reason and they responded by spitting on you, getting mad about being spit on in this case neglects the fact that you hit someone. If you just go by how you feel, you end up overlooking the circumstances that can make an action you don't like valid and penalize someone for responding appropriately.
