    Val - Greetings from our little tiny wonderful slice of paradise. IT's SLO County Open Studios Tour this and next weekend, so I will write back with comments this week (in between organized chaos). I just wanted to acknowledge and support this wonderful journey you are on AND also, participate in some way. This subject is so common, I think everyone has energy sucks in their lives. But, being compassionate humans, we see pain so hang in there when we can. Sometimes it can be extremely frustrating and for people a bit less aware of the subject/condition/pattern. I am not that person but even I have fallen into impossible situations with people!

    Pop psychology is so often used to “diagnose” the person across from us that isn’t behaving the way we want them to. Your example was someone else telling you that you are, or might be, avoidantly attached, because you’re not willing to be their one and only true love! Probably the most common problem in human relationships, you’re not like me, you’re not doing what I want, you must be damaged somehow, and obviously I’m not so I’ll fix you 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ This doesn’t mean you don’t have avoidant (or other) issues, but that’s your business and yours alone. Anybody claiming to be done growing is worth running from, possibly while screaming. Even an experienced therapist risks projection if they dare to tell a client they’re avoidant (or anything else) without a lot of detailed individualized evidence to support the claim, so having somebody you barely know tell you this is a huge warning sign, even if it happens to carry some truth (after all, others can sometimes see us in a way we cannot see ourselves). The trick here is to keep our psychological diagnosis of others mostly to ourselves, because there’s a solid chance we’re projecting as much as they are. And even if we aren’t, people usually aren’t ready to stare some deep dark secret in the face because we brought it up, quite the opposite, they’ll lash out, or ghost! If somebody asks your opinion, then the floodgates can open :)

    Ok, sleeping together is dumb, the more open I am with people I date the less this has come to matter. Leaving the collective is supremely difficult, but once you’re out, amazing new people (who have also left the restrictions of collective thinking) come into your life. My goal is to be exactly who I am, without apology,, offer that honestly to the people around me so that they can say NO as quickly and easily as possible, making room for anyone that might want to say YES!

  • @ppetrovi79
    @ppetrovi79 3 місяці тому

    I’m digging the conversational video style of delivery 👍 Conversation topic: With independent women without children as the happiest people, does this lead to the conservative catastrophe of population decline and collapse, or perhaps toward a more progressive future where the freedom and independence of everyone (but let’s be honest, of women in particular) causes an organic end result of a less populace and eventually much more enjoyable and sustainable global society?

    • @LifeIntel
      @LifeIntel 3 місяці тому

      It might, but tell it to the women who love their lives and don't feel inclined to sacrifice for the sake of population trends.

  • @ppetrovi79
    @ppetrovi79 3 місяці тому

    Stream of thoughts while watching: - Nobody can tell anyone else whether being single is appropriate or not. One person may be growing because they’re finally single by choice, while another may be growing by slowly figuring out when/how/why they want to invest in relationships with others. There’s not a single answer, as the collective would have us think. - Single for most of the world means monogamously pair-bonded, which means polyamory or ENM in general are also viewed negatively by the vast bulk of society. Cultural norms are, almost by definition, reductive, limiting, black and white. These are useful “rules” in our younger years, but become prisons of belief the older and more mature we become. - What the vast bulk of society thinks of me actually doesn’t matter AT ALL! What matters is how much I care what people think (and I was taught to care a lot, but that’s why I have a therapist, to undo some of that conditioning, to live a larger life). The hardest task of adulthood is separating from the collective, finding and living our own truth, plotting our own course through life (including our approach to growth wherever we have weakness).
