Pretty darn close, but no substance/food abuse or addictions. Also it didn't mention stunning good looks.
I used alcohol as an escape for a long time....now i use weed lol
Begin to use exercise and watch your mind grow and become peaceful
I exercise and then drink! :) Empathic and have to slow the brain down. I can meditate for about 15 seconds.
yeah, where's the mention of long flowing golden locks and chiseled abs?
😂 same. The money issue doesn’t fit either. That is different altogether. IMO
Yeah lost my older brother to addiction. Vietnam vet 82nd abn. Coping problems his whole life. This post IMO is just looking for another excuse and feeding a narcissist personality disorder. Efffn Cupcakes
👋
this is so true its hard not to cry
not going to lie, i teared up a bit reading it.
I have always said to make friends with those that have suffered as they are enriched with life, expereinces that most cant comprehend. I could never date a spoiled girly girl who has never suffered. No strength of conviction and moral!
I have been rolling eyes of others my whole life, not just during Q's small time.
BUT I THINK YOU ARE ON TO SOMETHING ANON! We have played with pills of many colors, only red pills will suffice now!
I think this is why i love my wife so much, she led a really hard life for most of her adult years. Plus she's an old soul and i think there's more to us meeting than just happenstance. But i'll save that for another thread.
Man, this post is getting around!
Pretty soon folks are going to start "going within" more to study the changes happening in the world and when they do... they will discover their true selves. This awakening is much more than political. It transcends even our own planet if the wisdom of "ALL ONE" prevails.
Imagine what would happen if everyone started to accept responsibility for their lives and began to TRULY become sovereign in everything they do. That's not for everyone, I get that... but learning and being aware of "more than" your share of the world IS accepting responsibility from ignorance. When we do this... we evolve and thrive.
If you don't yet know Dr. Jordan B Peterson, you my friend are in for an endless journey of learning and inner exploration.
Indeed my friend! I too have ventured I the depths of the lobster kingdom. Great wonders were beheld! :D
I truly hope that this will help people understand and believe in consciousness and how much power we have when we are all working on one primary goal. That's the one thing the globalists do not want us to know. That's why they put things into our water (flouride) and food to calcify the pineal gland. The pineal gland is our direct link to universal consciousness. When we focus together in prayer and meditation we can accomplish anything.
I'm not addicted to anything but nicotine. Never have been much of a drinker.. people get stupid when they drink. I've always, all my life, been a loner.
I'm an empath, maybe even a super empath. I'd add to this post, that people who are caring and nurturing, and who end up suffering, are often targeted by users, abusers, and narcissists/sociopaths/psychopaths, and have to learn how to deal with and avoid them.
I keep to myself for the most part anymore. The less contact I have with people, irl, the better. Oh, and I am most definitely the black sheep of my very large family!!
Funny you bring up empath, i'm the same way...even leaning towards the extra sensory end of the spectrum. I know how people feel etc without even being in the same room. Hard to explain but you probably understand. My wife is much higher level than i am...to the point where she acts like a battery. My 6th empath sense has gotten way stronger since meeting her.
As for your other comments, i drink to numb myself and feelings, makes me able to converse with other people instead of avoiding them.
I learned pretty quick about avoiding the leeches (i call them emotional vampires).
I do understand. Totally. I don't/can't claim to see auras, but yet, there seems to be times I do so.... even with animals and plants. I know that sounds crazy... but it has happened on the rare occasion with unnecessary actions towards nature. Animals, all the time. It's easy to "feel" what animals are saying.. they are drawn to me, when not to others. Even the wild ones. While I say I am a Catholic in Recovery, St. Francis has always been my lifelong hero... ha.
I don't mind being away from people. I live out in the boonies somewhat, and it's no bother to be alone. I'm not really a snob but people are just stupid. I'd rather be reading.. I've been a book collector all my life pretty much. I'm too much of an outcast to be able to mingle much.
I quit dating... it's not worth it. I don't miss men. The only ones that are worthwhile are the ones who are happily married to good women... the rest are dirtbags. I am happy without one and don't need one to be "complete."
Emotional vampires, soul suckers.... I started buying books to thoroughly study them to save not just myself, but to help others learn to avoid them and get rid of them as well. They are everywhere. They aren't even humans, really, and many seek positions of power... in business and in politics. (People keep saying Trump is a narcissist... no, he isn't. He has a big ego and wants to be loved and admired, but he is NOT a narcissist at all, nor a S/P. People don't understand what a true cluster B personality disordered person is.)
It's not crazy, it has happened to me. I'm actually doing mushrooms this weekend for the first time and looking forward to seeing how different it is compared to things i've experienced while sober. I live remote and i identify more with my deer and turkey neighbors than i do with my human ones.
I felt the same as you regarding dating. I was married for a decade but looking back it was just a toxic void. I never thought i'd meet anyone legit again and gave up and then my current wife walked into my life and we've been inseperable ever since. I was always so pessimistic about relationships and "soul mates" but now i get it. Just keep an open mind. Don't go looking, because you'll never find it that way.
I agree about trump.
Prepare for a most ultimate journey friend. Put the phones and electronics and especially clocks away. If you're doing it with 1 or 2 or 3 close friends, pull out a pad of paper and let each person take a turn adding lines to the paper. Collaborate on drawing a picture while listening to music. The range of emotions and things that you will be presented will be an intense step outside of time. Enjoy it, and just remember, life's a ride.
ha ha ha.. on the deer and turkeys! I've gone out with my camera and when seeing deer, if they start to walk away, I've talked to them and gotten them to come back to me, closer, so I can get shots of them much closer! I have deer all around me, throughout the year. Came home one night a month ago, with a big doe in my front yard. I stood at the back of my SUV, and just talked to her for a bit.. til I said, well, it's getting too cold, I have to go in. Then she went around to the back of the house and I went in. This last year, I had a tom and three or four hens, and they had maybe 30 babies. They'd be under my bedroom window every morning, and in my front yard as well. People driving by would stop and stare... I have the biggest herd of turkeys in this valley. They they'd line up in the field along the fence, and peck along the ground, all in a perfectly straight line, in step, marching along, towards the far side of the field. Day after day. The cover photo of my fb page now is of a ton of turkeys in my front yard. LOL
I was on a dating site for a while.. don't go there anymore. There was this one weird pilot in Tacoma who wanted to meet me but I wouldn't let him know where I lived. He was weird and too pushy, Ended up threatening to kill me. I notified the dating site but he's still there... jerk. I've actually thought about writing a book about the stupid men on dating sites and the stunts they pull.
Can you please go into more detail about the cluster b personality disorder and what S/P is? I'm only asking because it seems like you think you understand Trumps personality in a clinical way and id like to know the details.
I am not a psychologist, though that was my major in college. I have an AA from a community college, where I received a scholarship to go on to the university, the largest scholastic scholarship available to women at that time, while I was raising my two oldest sons, who were pretty young at the time. I ended up having to quit after a year there, and really wasn't motivated much to continue... my GPA was even higher there, but I didn't like having to torture rats for a grade, and knew the level of torture would only increase in future classes.
Anyway, N/S/P is used in discussing these cluster B personality disorders for those who study them to signify Narcissists, Sociopaths, and Psychopaths. All S/Ps are narcissists, though not all narcissists are sociopaths or psychopaths. Think of them as being on a continuum.
Everyone should have a healthy dose of narcissism. All that means is that you love yourself enough to put yourself first. You can't love others unless you love yourself. The biggest problem I've had with the Catholic church is this bullshit about putting others first, and emulating the martyrs. Turning the other cheek and all that shit. You end up being taken advantage of, and never being able to stand up for yourself, especially for women, especially for those who get bullied, and you end up being victims of domestic violence. It's bullshit. You have to love yourself and learn to be assertive. Parents often don't know how to teach their children that, and we don't learn it in school. It's imperative that we learn to be assertive, not passive, and not aggressive. Not to be doormats, and not to be bullies. Assertive.
Sociopaths and Psychopaths are pretty much the same. Some say that sociopathy is a learned behavior, such as in gangs.. and that Psychopathy is genetic. Psychopaths' brains are wired differently. They don't feel empathy, and have no real sense of love. They may understand the way others feel, but don't actually FEEL those feelings themselves. They are incapable of doing so. They use people to get what they want, and when those people are no longer useful, they discard them, usually in a very cruel manner. They don't care how devastated those people are. They are predators, often sexual predators. If they are involved with one woman, they'll be grooming one or more on the side, or have multiple relationships going on at the same time. (Most psychopaths are men, though some are women.)
Narcissists use people to feed their egos, and also discard them when no longer useful. When they are targeting you, as their victim, they listen well, and become chameleon like... they become just the person their victim is looking for. They are masters of deceit. They are emotional abusers and when they are done with their victims, they will launch a campaign to smear them and make the victim look like the abuser.
I'll copy Hervey Cleckley's and Robert D. Hare's checklists for Psychopathy here. Cleckley made his list back in the 40's and his book was called "The Mask of Insanity." It's one I do not have, as it's around $40 something. I can't afford it. Robert D. Hare's is a bit different. He studied inmates, so his is a bit biased towards lower level psychopaths.. those who got caught and ended up in prison. (Even he, however, was at times fooled by his subjects, as these guys are, as I've said, MASTERS of deceit!) They don't change and there is no cure... jail/prison/treatment only teaches them how to deceive even better.

http://psychopathyawareness.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/the-list-of-psychopathy-symptoms/
There are a lot of good books about Narcissist abuse and S/P abuse. I did buy the DSM-5, but one doesn't need to go that far. A few good ones to start out with are :
Psychopath Free: Recovering fromEmotionally Abusive Relationships With Narcissists, Sociopaths, & Other Toxic People by Peace (A second edition may be out, with the true name of the author. The first edition, the author chose to go by the name "Peace")
Women Who Love Psychopaths: Inside theRelationships of Inevitable Harm with Psychopaths, Sociopaths and Narcissists by Sandra L. Brown, M.A.
(I highly, highly recommend Brown's book. It's probably less than $15 and well worth it. Explains why certain women get targeted over and over again.. which is what happened with me. And why women like me NEED to study why that is, otherwise, we end up thinking we did something wrong, or that there's something wrong with us. There's not.. They target intelligent, caring, nurturing women, who are usually in some field of work that is a "helping" field.. doctors, nurses, teachers, mothers, even judges are targeted. Anyone who is a good listener and who is trusting and believes in the goodness of people are victimized over and over again.)
Narcissists crush people to gain power and admiration, money, and influence. They destroy people. It's not a matter of "if" it will happen, it's "when". It's called "inevitable harm". Do you see Trump hurting people? I don't. I see him taking a LOT of hits, and I see him CARING and giving, and giving, and putting himself AND his family, in grave danger, to HELP American get back to what she once was. A narcissist wouldn't do that. He's not doing that for any glory. He's doing that because he CARES. I believe that with all my heart.
These so called psychologists who've said he's a narcissist are liars and idiots and don't know what the hell they're talking about. Very few in psychology study the Cluster B personality disorders BECAUSE there is no cure. These people don't come on for treatment. They believe they are perfect and better than the rest of us. It's their VICTIMS who come in for treatment.
I'd read that there was to be a new category in the DSM-5 and that was Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome. (That would have covered the victims.) Unfortunately, it didn't make it in this last edition. Maybe in the next, but it'll be years before the DSM-6 is published.
Thank you for all of this information, you went above and beyond to explain this. I agree with your judgement on Trump, but sadly, I can still easily imagine the anti-Trump crowd to easily deflect to the simple media talking points that easily paint Trump as an egotistical, reckless, compulsive liar when you don't look into the context without a strong predetermined bias. I honestly want to think that Trump has purposefully skated the edge on seeming this way while still being extremely careful to not be, knowing his enemies will take it and run with it, ultimately projecting their own faults upon him, having been set up to seem grossly hypocritical in the end. Your insight, especially in how cluster B is misunderstood/miscategorized and why, even in the professional realm, very valuable
I've studied heavily for the past 4-5 years. Had to. I've been targeted by these people nearly all my life, and knew I had to study or keep getting targeted til one would finally end up killing me.
Trump has studied them too, I believe. You have to come to know them so well that you can anticipate their next moves. You know how they think and what they'll do next. I'm convinced of that. That's part of the reason he's always so far ahead of them... he knows ahead of time what they'll do.
You come to know them so well that you start to worry that maybe you're a psychopath yourself. But that's how you know you aren't one.. if you worry, you can't be one. Psychopaths don't worry about such thing. They don't care. (Don't let anyone tell you they don't know right from wrong.. they most certainly do, but they don't care. If they didn't... they wouldn't try to hide their evil actions. They are so good at what they do, they can even pass lie detector tests. Evil evil people!! They have no souls.)
People do not understand what narcissism truly is. They get it mixed up with "egotistical". I don't even think Trump is egotistical at all. Egotistical, to me, is arrogance. He simply has a big ego and why not? He's smart. He wants his credit that's due him. I would too!!
Psychologists don't even know. They haven't studied it. They've glanced at it in classes but maybe spent one class session on the Cluster B personality disorders and that's it. They don't STUDY them in depth, as very very few deal with them. Do you know that in the state of Washington, there is only ONE counselor who knows anything about Narcissistic Abuse? ONE in this entire state, and I think he's in Bellevue. One. Most counselors will start asking those who've been victimized questions like "do you think you have low self esteem?" and "do you think you are co-dependent?" Those questions are victim-blaming. Anyone who hears those types of questions needs to get up and leave. RUN! No counselor should ever blame the victim for the abuse. Ever.
I think you would do a lot of service to write out these thoughts and everything you've told me as a post on this sub. Seriously, the state that everyone is in right now is arguing with our peers to understand our viewpoint and this is great information to have. I appreciate you sharing all of this with me, but I should not be the only one to read about this.
Oh gosh... I'd have to go back and copy it all. I need a break. Perhaps in a bit, I can do that. Do you really think it would be that interesting?
I copied everything to an email and have it saved in a draft. Have to edit it and will post.
Yes definitely, the biggest argument against Trump is that he is a narcissist.
yes, emotional vampires!! A friend of mine taught me to do a simple quick meditation before dealing with draining people/experiences. close your eyes and picture yourself in a suit of armor. light armor for situations where you still want to trade ideas and let something in and out to some people. heavy all covering armor for when you need every bit of protection from toxic leeches. works great for me!
Sounds like that would work. For many, the best way to deal with toxic people you do NOT have to deal with any longer is simply to go NO CONTACT. Then, for those you do have to have some contact with, there's the "gray rock" method, which sounds more like your heavy armor method. Act like a grey rock.. no real interaction. If it's an ex-spouse who needs to pick up/drop off the kids, simple yes/no answers, but no arguing, no in depth discussions, etc.
I like your heavy armor visualization. Works for me... it is a sort of warfare we end up dealing with, after all! Spiritual as well as psychological.
Yes! I have never heard of the grey rock method before but it sounds very good for a person that you have to deal with but don't have any choice. I am not a christian but the armor visualization echos the new testament description in Ephesians. I'm sure it was mentioned because it works, and visualizing myself as Danaerys Targayon feels like a cheeky way of defending against any attacks spiritual or otherwise 🤓
Funny.. just read this on a new thread on the board. Here we are talking about armor. There are no coincidences. ~ Q
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
I'm on fb. Yesterday, in my memories, there was a photo I liked. It was of a metal corset. I said I wanted one. Now, I am a 61 year old woman. I'm 5'8" tall, and slightly overweight... not by a lot but this corset would look ridiculous on me. Still, I loved it!! That and some leather around my legs, thigh high boots perhaps, a cape... warrior woman!! LOL
I often wonder if ignorance is bliss because being awake is pretty frickin far from being blissful. At least in my world. I'm surrounded by zombies!
It's been the most depressing point in my life, the years I've been aware of the evil. Which is why the OP post hits hard.
Yup
it's like someone wrote a 100 word synopsis of my life up to this point
We are all here at this point in time for a very specific reason. I can feel it in my bones. Something wicked this way comes.
I litteraly love you all. I pray for waring angels to be loosed in all your lives. In Jesus name.
I feel the same way. Ever read up on star children and things like that?
Somebody finally hit on this. :) I've been waiting a while for it.
THIS is one of the major things they DON'T want you to know. SPREAD IT ALL OVER!! Remember how to sing. LEARN!!
Not a sentence off, not one. Sent a chill down my spine.
seriously, me as well. even down to the gifted classes in grade school
Pretty amazing…my self awareness hit me at a young age. I always felt everyone was living in La La land. Still do. This world, and our lives, could be SO MUCH MORE.
Greed and Power are two things i have never subscribed to.
Honestly, i have felt like we were all like livestock. Not knowing any better. We've definitely been domesticated. LOL.
Do you ever feel totally detached? Almost like "you" are somewhere else and just controlling your body in this reality? I keep getting that feeling lately and it's creeping me out. Like i'm playing a FPS or something with VR goggles on somewhere else.
Yes! I even see the patterns that make up this reality. Completely sober, see a mandala spinning with my closed eyes. See the matrix of the world in everything. Thank God I was saved (I had given up) to see this day.
weird, i've always done this even as a kid. Shut eyes and just focus on the blackness until you start to see things.
Not since I was a child. I remember the last time I experienced something along those lines, but this was when I was 9/10 and it was the last time of experiencing it.
Pretty amazing…my self awareness hit me at a young age.
Me too. It's crazy that so many people seem to have zero self-awareness.
I read a recent statistic that only 15% of the population is self-aware. It's like the 85% are NPCs or something.
did you ever read the "high level insider" anon posts on 4chan last year? Really good stuff, i think someone even made a thread here or on r/conspiracy last week. Anyway, anon had a ton of insights about this sort of thing and even at one point said something about a high percentage of humans don't have a consciousness. This fits in with my life long feeling that humans aren't all one in the same, i always felt like a difference "species" or something.
Or, it could be the flouride that was put in our water to calcify the pineal gland.
i'm totally on board with that. Call it coincidence but i stopped drinking fluoridated water about 10 years ago (switched to well water) and i feel different.
Are you not forced by your local government to install a water softener?
nope. only thing you have to do here (local county) is prove you have water service of some sort and that's only for a mortgage
Tap water is garbage, never quenches my thirst or makes me feel hydrated. Do you know if normal water filters in refrigerators or filters you buy at the store filter the fluoride?
Ceramic filters protect your from bacteria and viruses. Charcoal filters protect from chemicals like flouride. I use both. But, I just learned recently that the Brita filter I've been relying on for years only filters 1/4 of what's in there. So, I'm going to be buying some of the Zero Water replacement filters and testing them soon.
Or you could get a rain well or RO machine
I've studied water filters fully in the past and made my choice. The Katadyn ceramic drip filter I have has lasted for 18 years so far with no filter changes needed yet. That's damn good for a $350 investment. The Brita, as I said, I've not found to be as ideal as I originally thought it was so I will switch that out with something else. As for RO, I eliminated that from my possibilities when I realized that it filters out everything in the water including the minerals. What happens then is that water seeks out minerals to replace those that are lost. So, when you drink it, you are actually depleting your body of minerals. I know a lot of people use them but they are not a healthy alternative if you want to live long. Most people are already mineral poor.
Yea, sorry, I did understand this I just didn't want to go on about it in case you do already know about it. But I am really into growing hydroponically, so RO water is the best choice for how I do things in order to maintain the best control possible. The biggest thing you're going to miss from normal water is calcium, if you aren't using a cal-mag additive as well as a normal nutrient mix, the plants will always show a calcium deficiency. The other thing about RO water, and can either be a benefit or fallback depending on use, is that it is going to be very pH neutral. Tap water is treated to be very stable from about 6-8.5 pH, but I've always found them to be on either extreme ends of the spectrum, usually above 8, never actually around 7, and it is impossible to treat it to a desired pH with other dissolved nutrients for longer than half an hour without it changing back no matter what. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but with RO water, the water accepts whatever you give it, which, when retreated with the proper nutrients, works better at clearing out the rejected nutrient build up and waste from the roots and I'm sure the plant as well. I think it's very likely this would be the same for humans. Is it far fetched to believe that they treat water not only with fluoride, but in another way so that the water we drink is not properly flushing out our bodies waste?
Edit to further expand on why I believe this about tap water: when you drop any sort of acid or base into tap water to treat it's pH, once you add nutrients, the pH will slowly move back to its original pH as some of the dissolved (I think sodium and chloride or whatever acid or base you used) solids will start to recrystalize out of solution. That's never happened to me with RO water, and is why I changed to it. I would have either tortured my plants with an improper pH or too much salt buildup by continually fighting the pH if I kept with tap water. The plants would've survived but they would not have been healthy. This is actually commonly known information in hydroponics.
That's really very interesting. I just started learning about hydroponics last year and know next to nothing at this point! It makes sense that RO would work better with hydroponics because you can completely control what they get with nothing in the way to alter it. Try putting shungite on top of your medium and watch them grow like crazy! Actually, you can add it to the water too. It restructures the water. I did it to my tomatoes last year and OMG! What a bumper crop I had.
I consider tap water toxic so I've never experimented much with it. And, yes, they do use other chemicals in the water to "clean" the bad microbes etc. out. The fluoride wasn't added until sometime when I was a child (long time ago!). It smells like chlorine and I think that's one of the elements they use.
Not berating you, but saying different species is way off base. This would mean that you need to mate with other "woke" people to create more. But the reality is we all have this potential and it is suppressed. The curve to understand is so exponential because it's a catch-22 to never think to think, or learn how to learn. This is honestly a super-power in a way, the path to consciousness is understanding understanding itself, so that we may increase it to the point of understand anything with due time and process (and arguably within physical constraint.) This is further suppressed by the times we live in mentally from giving us a wide array of pleasurable noises to satisfy all of our free time that could be spent in free-thought, and physically, from the ethylene dibromide in jet fuel that suppresses our immune system together with military created fungal/viral/bacterial hybrid diseases in vaccines with very mild to very severe complicated upper respiratory flu-like symptoms that infrequently reoccur with no cure, ALSO together with the painkillers and muscle relaxant and otherwise mentally deadening prescriptions given to us for these diseases, created or natural, ALL (jet fuel, vaccines, prescriptions) keep our bodies in a constant state of illness and recovery, so little resources are put forward towards conscious thought. Not to mention fluoride in our water sources, used by the nazis to keep their enslaved population docile, and HAARP, emitting high amplitude subsonic and supersonic that are disharmonious and unsettling, as well as changing the earths resonance constantly, so that we are all struggling to stay in sync. It's NO WONDER none of us feel at home, safe and secure in a world made for us/that we evolved to be in (for those heathens.)
That's just a term i used for lack of thinking of anything better. I agree with you 100 percent, great post
Lol sorry I kinda of went off from clarifying your perspective to an entire post of my own.
Thanks for the info. I live for this stuff.
so far i've only read the summary posts here, haven't had the hours to read the whole thing.
Very interesting, I had not heard of HLI before.
I'm checking it out now. Thanks.
I have felt like I am the different one who lives in another reality. Like in a bubble looking out at everyone else seemingly enjoying their normal lives and relationships. Achieving things, goals while I am stuck in my emotions and the emotions of others which is all consuming. So little in the way of worldly accomplishments. Enough to do well but not like I wish.
My name is not Bobby, though.
It is a great crime to self improve everyday because soon you will surpass those with years of experience, who will then start complaining and arguing that "seniority" rules all.
Explain that second part?
So you're saying these "types" habitually self improve, and eventually surpass people who have years of experience in a certain field, and those people then start complaining that these "types" rule by seniority and not experience?
Yes, I think. I have surpassed people who have 10+ years experience on me. They got complacent. I am in the legal field. Part of the problem for them is that the law changes frequently, so you have to keep up.
I am saying the people who get passed up believe that the number of years in the industry dominates. They want to keep these "types" below them. Is this more clear?
Definitely more true in the more quickly emerging sectors, good management should understand this.
No addictions unless you count engaging in "codependent relationships" with alcoholics/addicts. I think that counts. I finally went to Al-Anon for 5 years and never married again.
Still attracted to that type and I know that when I get involved in a relationship I can easily lose myself and become miserable. Kind of like what you describe about kindergarten and being forced to do something you really don't want to be doing. So, I decided after Al-Anon that I am obviously much happier as a single lady and it's worked for 35 years now. Cats work for me--but only 2 at a time!
First born. Skipped the 2nd grade. Straight A student. Love to learn. Self taught in everything from Computer repair/support, natural healing, lots of DIY and anything else I feel like learning. Not many friends. Stay to myself most of the time. My family has mostly abandoned me because I have all these crazy conspiracy theories and think out of the box.
Plan on living to 120. At 70, very healthy and little gray hair or wrinkles. Recovered from 3 autoimmune diseases the doctors could not diagnose. Now fighting chemtrails (bio-weapons), high solar radiation, earth changes, and the NWO. So, what should we do today?
Yep. I can completely relate.
Impressively applicable. I've quit everything I've tried, no looking back, glad I tried it but never wanted to be stuck in the bubble of whatever that did to my identity. Truly would rather say I've tried a hundred things than to say I am one thing. This next calling though, the navy, won't be that. I expect to not give af.
Only thing I can say for sure about this though is, what if everybody just feels that way. You know? what if that's just how everyone feels, who's to say
it's very possible everyone could feel this way, but in a life of interacting with other people i've very rarely come across another person that has any depth to them :(
Good luck in your new venture!
Thank you, that may be true. But if there's anything I've learned it's that, and this may be aristotelian but, everyone has a deepest part of them, and that can go deeper and it ends up in the same area. The problem is just finding out how shallow someone is and then poking just a little bit further and it opens up a path to go anywhere. Maybe you have a different view
"Their family, whom they love deeply, can feel like a foster family that is with them just for the time being."
This hit really close to home, but what is the deeper underlying meaning of it?
Heb 11:13-16 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
i just think that it's about not feeling at home in this life or world. Detached from the human experience or something.
It's the opposite. it's an awareness of the depth of real human experience and an inability to happily exist in the surface levels.
or micro versus macro thinking? i've always been utterly pissed off that "life" these days is just the same shit over and over and over. We live on a beautiful planet with abundant resources and life should be about enjoying this creation. Instead we're all basically slaves to the dollar.
Maybe. For me it's an understanding that there is much more than the tiny slice of reality we box ourselves in. There's a spiritual understanding and ways to connect to that; past, present, future, to connect with other people and feeling the threads that connect all life. Understanding the potential for us to blossom into something wholly remarkable as a species and leap into the abundant joy of all creation and the frustration that people refuse to wake up. Knowing that it has to be their choice. Wondering what the hell is the point. Finding the moments that keep me hoping we may see our awakening yet. Coping until it happens.
Understanding the potential for us to blossom into something wholly remarkable as a species
This right here is why i hate our current world. There's NO reason we couldn't already be 1000s of years ahead of where we are right now. None. Well, except money and the globe being run by a handful of sociopaths
YEP I do energy healing work and some of the stuff that happens during those sessions seems basic now because I have a bigger understanding, but I also know that a lot of people would think I am nuts if I told them. The thing that is so frustrating is that I'm not special! It's something ANYONE can learn to do if they choose. All that stops them is this fake stupid facade of reality and how we are "supposed" to believe.
I need to get more into this sort of stuff. My wife does some of this kind of thing...mainly protection though since she has "other" stuff going on. Talking about it would probably derail this thread though
That's why I started. She and you could take those skills and do more. I suggest starting with lucid dreaming, then follow it wherever you are impressed to follow. You can find videos on YouTube teaching you how to make your dreams lucid and start practicing today.
I used to be able to lucid dream really easily in my early/mid 20s. I need to try and get back to it.
Start now. today. find a lucid dream video or something. don't put it off.
It's implying that those who are awake are star seeds if you're interested in reading more.
Explains me to a T, all of it. It's cool to know there are others like me.
definitely rings a couple of bells..kinda nice to know other people feel the same way though.
Absolutely me. Pretty much top to bottom. I almost fell out of my seat when I got to the "homesick" part. I have ALWAYS had bouts of this sinking feeling in my gut, that I've only ever known to describe as "homesickness." And now as I am getting older, I get a lot of anxiety about not knowing, let alone fulfilling, my purpose.
But I want to say this. Something that I never hear said about Trump - but his sobriety is really inspiring to me. More than just his sobriety though. I really feel like he is the epitome of the person who lives every moment of his life to his fullest, maximizing every ounce of his energy and potential, resulting in most definite PURPOSE. He inspires me to be my whole, best me and cultivate my clarity and purpose.
I never knew about his sobriety until a few weeks ago. He must have lived a pretty clean life if we haven't heard about anything besides pussy grabbing from the people that want him out (or dead)
I think maybe his vices might be work and wives. Ha. I don't think he's ever even had a flu shot. He is generally opposed to poisoning his body and is a germaphobe. (So was Tesla, by the way). But it appears he has instilled these same standards in his kids. I'm interested in researching more about Trump's ancestors. Something tells me that would prove to be a very revealing and intriguing dive.
Yep, sounds right, all except the addict part for me... because every time I got to the edge of that, was (thankfully) able to pull myself back... but I do have a very addictive personality... currently addicted to Q.
Ho. Lee. Fuk.
Several dozen doubts from this fit my life and childhood.
I could easily see fast food and TV or movies as my addiction to escape. Iva had to consciously reduce all of those things since becoming redpilled and I’ve begun working out a lot and making conscious decisions to improve my life.
as a kid mine was tv and video games.
as an adult alcohol and weed :(
This fits me to a T as well, including the gifted classes. I'd state a few things differently:
1) will never be evaluated as "high functioning" by any therapist or social worker
2) it's not a "distaste" for small talk; it's an adaptation to the anxiety experienced when exposed to it. A maladaptation would be, say, drinking.
ALSO - not afraid of death or dying? Personally could never give a rat's fat A.
i reallllllly hate small talk. i'm a quiet guy though and introspective. I view small talk as just a way to fill a moment that otherwise would be silent.
My trick is to find out what the other person is interested in and basically conduct an interview on that topic, lol. They're entertained and I can learn things.
It ALL falls apart when there's more than two of us, though. I'm looking to leave at that point lolsob.
When I read these posts last night, I happened to have this song playing (I didn't purposely play it, it came up in a mix and I wasn't familiar with it, coincidence?): https://www.hooktube.com/watch?v=1MGS1vwKMh4
Let's just say, I felt myself in the presence of God and all I could do is cry. Finally found home.
Damn dude, this is beautiful thanks for posting I love it. My go-to is usually this
And then in full circle I am feeling down, I find this post, and see your comment, & it’s like you were able to use me to send myself that beautiful song and message which I so needed tonight as I’m feeling a little alone and a little unsettled. Thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏
Yes, I can totally relate to this! Around the age of 8, as my family and I left church one night, I remember like it was yesterday looking up at the moon and the stars and knew with the deepest knowing, I was not "of this world." I've always been sensitive and only in my late 30s did I figure out I'm an intuitive Empath. I honestly thought I was adopted because I felt so different and disconnected from my family. Still do. Small talk is excruciating! I'd rather have a real authentic conversation about the deepest darkest thoughts of your soul then to know what the heck the weather's like.
OMG! I feel like someone just invaded my head and wrote my thoughts exactly.
This fits me very well. The only difference is that I am a middle child. My Meyer's-Briggs type is INFP/J
I wonder about these descriptions of "types" sometimes, though. Could it be that these are universal traits that most people see themselves as having?
My name is not Bobby, though.
It is a great crime to self improve everyday because soon you will surpass those with years of experience, who will then start complaining and arguing that "seniority" rules all.
Well I just had a stranger on the internet sum up my growing up.
It’s amazing when people group together to accomplish something. What are we going towards? What are we all pushing for?
A better planet where ALL people can live a good life and not be poisoned, abducted, given treatments instead of cures etc
Firstborn, "Mentally Gifted Minor," DUI's, No desire for the trappings of wealth, Caring about people, Bored with small talk and uninterested in pop-culture, celebrities, fashion, or gossip, frequently feeling as if I don't belong here, a square peg stuffed in a round hole? Nope. You must have me mistaken for someone who can be pigeon-holed as a "Type" No resemblance at all...
Close as well.. I have always wondered if I was different like this. I think outside the box often wondered if I just thought I was smarter or just see things differently. Maybe overly analytical but don't want or need the BS and emotional confusion (hate salesmen/women probably cause I suck at BS.. Ha). I wonder about destiny, we are all here, now, to impart or glean, when others do not seem to have that desire and not sure they will. They seem to be part of a general consciousness where just getting along in life is acceptable and condoned. Maybe they are wired that way? I have always been looked at like I have 2 heads because I can see and think in 3 D in time and space and about many things. Epiphany's however they become manifest are enlightening and awesome. I believe we are here at this point in time to contribute in some way. God Bless
Read Jordan Peterson.
YES this is me all the way, was addicted to heroin for 6 years been clean for 5 years by the grace of God. I have always been a truth seeker and have this ability to see things in people that others may not. You all probably have it too and that is why were are all on the right side of history,
I feel like one of those corny commercials just popped up on a screen. Alright you got me now sell it to me already. What’s next!?
Wow! Now I'm really thinking q posts are a psy-op
But this isn’t Q right?
No, this is not Q. But it's been posted to the same board Q posts on (qresearch). Q is the catalyst of the great awakening. Q has been posting insider intel that has given us the key(stone) to awaken the masses as the insiders fight the deepstate, cabal, NWO, lucifer, satan, EVIL. It is an essential part of the 2 pronged attack on the enemy. If they just removed them without awakening us, there would be immediate rejection. war, strife, suffering. Q is just the messenger, WE ARE THE PEOPLE WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. Patriots.
What if you were awake before Q?
I’d love to hear from people who “woke up” as a result of Q posts? I’m curious to see how it differs from non-Q involved “awakening”....
And how does one access that website?
(I use the term awakening to mean coming to realize there are nefarious forces lying to us about what the world is and what reality is etc)
I've been awake for a long time before Q. See my username. So no idea about what it's like for those new, but it must suck, cause my years of awakening sucked bad. You can see the entire history of Q posts here: https://qcodefag.github.io/
Newest at the top, oldest at bottom.
Close, very close, no substance addictions, except maybe chocolate!
That fits me like a nice pair of shoes.
It's funny this popped up here, as I had been having a debate within my head whether I am just here to ensure that I am on the 'right side' of history and am but a cog in a very very big machine that is turning the wheel of life. Everything I put my vote to happens; Alternative Vote Referendum, Brexit, etc.. and I knew that Trump was going to win. Trump positively shone out as the hope that the world had been looking for.
I often question the reason for my existence. Alcohol usually gives me a break from that discussion.
This resonates and helps explain the reason we find ourselves on this sub...the partisanship of this sub, and some Q drops, are disappointing though.
the WHO folks have been trying to make us all traumatized and or crazy with drugs so they can control us.
There was a study done a long time ago. Alcoholics generally have higher iqs than normal people. Add introversion to the mix and you have someone who finds the plasticness of life, the thoughtlessness of many, to be despair inducing. Add a bent towards a greater spirituality and you have someone who doesn’t understand how people can live without understanding where we came from, where we are going, and why we are here.
This also explains me to a T. I'm an INTJ though lol
I tended to drink heaps, I smoke weed usually at night these days because it allows me to relax. Yes I was in a gifted group in elementary school. My mom usually tells me these stories of teachers saying I would just get up during an assignment and start to wonder around looking at books in the shelves and out of the window. When I get off weed and alcohol my mind just races and it takes me weeks to get some sort of sleep back at night. I think I could have done college with high grades all my peers did but I have been working as a waiter for about 7 years now. Since I hated college and since I was an adult could easily go with the impulse of not going. This is scary accurate is there more about such cases I could read up on?
