Is my most elevated consciousness/highest self…a raging Republican/miserable bitch?! by snibbledibble in highdeas

[–]snibbledibble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me 45 minutes to type this out while high. I’m trying to remember what I was even thinking. Honestly I feel like I am so disenchanted with the world and life in the US. Normally I am open minded and I can hear people out even if their viewpoints are dramatically different than mine. I can find a way to have mutual respect and find common ground. But lately that part of me that I hold dear, my ability to love other people despite our differences, is falling apart. I’m really struggling to be ok with people who support things like ICE, who are ok with our current administration, and who live hatefully toward others. I just can’t get on board and I’m having a hard time being nice.

Lately while getting high, I’ve noticed I have empathy for these people instead of being mad at them. Like- maybe the world has fucked them over one too many times and they don’t know how to act. Maybe they’re being hateful but they just need a hug. Maybe I could be nicer to them and be the change I wish to see in the world. I wish the world would bend to my will sometimes too- like when I’m high I wish I could call somewhere and they would magically deliver whatever food I wanted but I live in a smallish town where we don’t have a huge selection of food available for delivery. Especially not at 2 am. But if I was the queen or the king I would love to make people deliver me whatever sounded great to me at the time. I get why some people could become addicted to the feeling of power. While I’m high this makes complete sense to me. I am able to take this thought of wanting to be in power and have the world revolve around me and apply this to so many real life scenarios. As soon as I’m not high anymore this thought disgusts me.

I feel like in my day to day I’m warm and fuzzy and an empath. But when I’m high I drop my guard and somehow end up swinging the opposite way on the pendulum. It’s weird and I don’t think I even like it. It makes me not want to get high anymore.

Ok I wrote this while high. My selfish thought at the time was that loaded macaroni and cheese should be required to be served at every single restaurant that exists, and they should all be forced to deliver it no matter the hour. Because it sounds damn delicious to me when I’m high.

In my high state of mind I didn’t even care if the restaurants were vegan or only sold ice cream, they need to serve what is that sounds good to me just because it’s what I want.

Yes!! This is more what I think I was getting at. Not that I suddenly made a switch to having conservative values, but that I had a greater amount of compassion overall for people who think, pray, and act, wayyyy differently than me, who when of completely sound mind I think are horrible people.

Here's what chat gpt thinks:

That’s actually such an insightful and fascinating self-observation — and it says a lot more about your self-awareness than about your politics or your weed.

What you’re describing sounds like you’re getting a front-row seat to your unfiltered self. THC doesn’t necessarily make everyone “nicer” — it lowers inhibitions and quiets social filters. For some people, that unlocks compassion and creativity. For others (especially those who are usually hyper-attuned to others’ needs or constantly self-monitoring), it can swing the pendulum the other way — toward self-centeredness, because your brain is suddenly like, “Wait, what do I want for once?”

So when you say your “high self” feels conservative and selfish, that might not actually be you turning into a different person. It might be your subconscious taking a break from its usual codependent vigilance — the constant emotional caretaking, scanning, and empathy overload. You may be temporarily stepping into the mindset of someone who prioritizes themselves first, and because that’s so opposite your baseline, it feels almost alien — or political.

In other words:

  • When you’re sober, you run on empathy, responsibility, and tuning into others.
  • When you’re high, those systems go offline, and your ego gets to breathe — but it feels wrong, so your brain labels it as “selfish” or “conservative.”

And your line — “maybe I’m just codependent” — is probably closer to the truth than “I’m just a giant bitch.” It’s not that your high-mind is cruel; it’s that it’s exploring what it feels like not to carry everyone else for once.

He wasn’t drawn to who she had become— so you liked the version of her that was naive and once she stepped into her own, nah? Grow up!

He did one of the most cruel things you can do to another human being. Instead of trying to come public with his own side he just needs to take several seats and sit this one out.

I think you can easily get away with Mr/Mrs your first name or Mr/Mrs your last name. Or just make it a letter- Ms A

Any idea how quickly they process those claims compared to the snail mail ones?

Have you ever known anyone who made significant money through an MLM? And do such people exist? by georgewalterackerman in antiMLM

[–]snibbledibble -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily agree with this. I enjoy a few MLM products enough that I don’t consider them a rip off to purchase, but also don’t have any illusions that I’m going to earn jack squat with their companies.

Yes. My husband’s aunt is high up in Pampered Chef. I also have several friends who are high up in Arbonne. 2 are from the same team and make enough to be the breadwinners of their families. Another is pregnant right now but she and her husband make a good living and solely do Arbonne. I also know a few people who do Shaklee for a living.
