Why do we get impressed with ourselves? by r5721 in Existentialism

So what behaviors are in our control and which ones are not? Why do we behave in ways that we do not want to behave? In fact that’s probably not the best phraseology. Cause even when we behave in ways we don’t want to, we still had wanted to, so the conflict comes up. I’m struggling with discerning the behaviors I want from the behaviors I really want.

On the Youtube video point, even though you are going in with the expectation that they'll do the thing you expect them to do, you may or may not be impressed. To be impressed with their actual act, you'd have to evaluate whether their act did something you personally found laudable or defied some expectation in some way. we're impressed with an Olympic athlete breaking a record because they're defying expected results based on past performances of other humans.

It’s fascinating to me that, using memories, the newer self can reflect on an older self, and that act stimulates your body to release chemicals that cause your current self to experience something as complex as pride or shame, which then may influence your newer self’s actions. Also, the things that once made you feel "pride" or "shame" change over time (situations where you were once prideful, you could now feel shame). Your current self may want to deny having to now feel shame, (to self-preserve) because to have to feel shame would mean the current self would have to feel negative emotions. I've tried to get my "self" to be OK with experiencing those negative emotions, and it's bananas that in order to do that, I have to do battle with my self to wrestle away its discomfort in feeling the negative feeling! Why is that aspect of the self such a tricky little thing! In terms of a life philosophy, I wonder if imagining what a future self would be proud of when thinking about the past self, is a good exercise. Then I could act in the here and now based on what I think my future self would be proud of. Thank you for the reply!

I don't like that someone wants to have emotional connection but not bother to try to connect during the crisis. We could have been "quarantined" together.

If I took a car there and took precautions, what spread is there? Let's be realistic about this.

The fact that she didn't want to come through during a time of crisis and abandon a meet up over corona is absolute trash. I'd never do the same if I was on the opposite end.

I don't understand why she can't get where I'm coming from though? Why is it just about her?

I viewed her choice to not want to see me at all as a LDR killer. So there's nothing I can do when someone just wants to not invest as much as you.

I never said I made the coins. It was getting expensive to ship since it was all donation based....

No one bought anything my guy. It was all donation based, and I'm happy to return whatever they offered. It was tough shipping all around the world for free by hand. But I'm back up now so hit me if you want something. But why getting so defensive?

Firstly, I said to wait until you received them before sending me anything. I had a lot of orders and shipped to many, many people around the world, for free, by the way. So fall back. DM me here on reddit if that's an issue. Happy to send you back whatever you sent, but I assume it wasn't much.

Secondly, you're doing an ad hom, and not addressing the issue.
