@carry_ow Yeah. Of course there are times when questioning is counterproductive, but I believe it is quite important in understanding other points of views in our world.
What do you think of picking someone's brain? Do you hate having your opinions and thoughts questioned? Or is it a welcome way to explore also your own beliefs? Reaffirm or maybe modify how you actually think? Getting new perspective. Are you open for things like that?
@Ameces I agree. Also some of my best conversations have been when things have been questioned. And I have learnt about myself more, as from the other, while having been the one questioned and the one questioning.
@0xgaut XD oh goodness me I know the commenter on that picture. And I wholeheartedly agree with him. You sit on bottom shelf only if you can't take the heat.
@NeumondSchatten @foxes_in_love I see many like to connect it to orthodox church but it is just one tradition stolen by the church again. It originates from the olden folk religion we had before and from those beliefs.
@NeumondSchatten @foxes_in_love It origantes in people walking from wealthy farm house to another to bless them with branches, in exchange the farmers would offer these "witches" a supper as a reward for blessing their house for good luck on the coming planting season. It was highly beneficial to both parties.
@foxes_in_love Yeah we had the candy but we didn't have the kids this year. :C but at least I know there are people still doing it. Which is really nice!
@YRUnotlistening@Seamuskitty@iamharaldur I am not sure. Since everyone in a support group are there to share and listen. They all know the solution has to come from the individual. Maybe it just is a bad analogy you chose, but I think I have an inkling of what you mean. Especially if an issue never changes.
@theAJAge @Invent_or@FluffyPDX@iamharaldur They are true, but if I think about my parents my mom was better at staying calm and dad was the hot tempered. He just had his situations where he surprised with his calmness. <3 but I think it also comes to the fact of actually talking about feelings with boys from young age.
@brrbrricy@xoxo_benjii@LR_Cadyz@tweetthis007@EndWokeness I don't get dead eyes at all from the first picture. It actually gives me a little mischievous content feeling. And the second picture is clearly some big event with lots pictures to be taken. I'd have a vacant look in my eyes on such occasions too.
@Invent_or @theAJAge @FluffyPDX@iamharaldur Yeah... It all comes to the issue of why don't we teach men to deal with and recognize emotions and feelings better, like we do with women, from a young age?
@YRUnotlistening@Seamuskitty@iamharaldur Have you thought that listening could also be a solution? :3 some problems aren't such that you can take action on them, but solution to the feeling bad is just letting it out to the world and just getting some sympathy back that things are making you feel shit.
@KateSussexRGP@mikeelliott01@iamharaldur Also sometimes people want to vent and they want the person who is listening to cent with them about the issue, in a way finding kinship in whatever thry are going through. A lesson I had to learn as a fix it person.
