@BBSDoorGameHero There is a cost, for sure. A lag-time where the effort doesn’t match the perhaps “hoped for” relief. But there is a cost to just going along too…
Intelligence isn’t the limiting factor. Much of the trouble comes from narrating, diagnosing, and interpreting other people’s inner worlds—confusion about where one person ends and the other begins. “Better” people aren’t required; clearer boundaries of perception are.
@BBSDoorGameHero Well, the great news about a system is that a change in🔻 one reorganizes the emotional field. It takes time🔺 to see that part of it…the part I’m playing in any “problem” I see.
@NightlightVia So unless I accept your assessment of who I am, what I’m doing, how I ought to be communicating and accepting responsibility for how others hear and read everything I say or write then….another diagnosis? Feelings must continue to run the show? Ok. Got it. Feel away.
Imagination isn’t inherently creative. It’s built for survival, not clarity. It often emerges from pressure, not play. It buys time—sometimes only to avoid, delay, or deceive. Not all lies are told. Some are imagined and lived.
Its danger? How real it feels—when it isn’t.
@Gravitonpingpon I am that living evidence. You are that evidence. ❤️ Humans do not exist in🔻 a vacuum but in relationship to one another. Godspeed on your overdue VCR tape work.
@Gravitonpingpon Whether there’s some component of it being genetically determined or not, is interesting. I’m thinking about how systems use it—under pressure, for relief, or to delay clarity. That’s the lens here.
I was thinking about your question and asking myself, what AM I doing? The best I could come up with at this time 🔺 is: I am offering my thoughts on what is mostly considered a feeling process considering that I too am both a thinking and feeling being. Sorry if that sound too wavkafoodle, but it’s the best I’ve got at this juncture. I appreciate the question.
@YvonneM99 I offered a thought today. Whose damaged mind are you referencing? Perhaps your initial response was not critical of me but of yourself? Either way, I will not operate from a premise that your or my mind is damaged. ❤️
Clarity doesn’t promise companionship. It promises freedom—freedom from rescue, from managing others’ feelings to stay connected.
It may feel lonely until connection shifts from relief-based to reality-based—where presence replaces rescue.
