Romance is a game of hide-and-seek: remembering that you're already whole
The fundamental game at the heart of romance is hide-and-seek. Romantics cut out a part of themselves, hide that part in someone of their choosing, and then forget about the cutting and the hiding and the choosing. This process imbues love with the possibility of mythic alchemy: the completion of the self in union with the other. However, romantics have always ever already been whole. Unfortunately, remembering this makes it harder to keep playing the game.

How to deal with perfectionism: exposing its inner workings
zhlédnutí 32KPřed 23 hodinami
I consider myself a perfectionist in recovery. In this episode, I discuss some of the realizations I had that helped me overcome this debilitating habit many years ago. By understanding why (and how) I was selectively attending to certain aspects of my work and life (and not others), I was able to see the absurdity at the heart of my perfectionism, which substantially affected my willingness to...

    Dr Taraban’s word of advice about tone of voice resonates with me. Remove all trace of negative emotion from your voice, but don’t remove all emotion. A flat, robotic voice prompts a woman to provoke an emotional response from you, even if it’s an angry one.

    you should expand a lot on these: on how the disavowel happens, what means to be in bad faith with oneself regarding one's own character, how to prevent this internal scism, it would be very interesting and it would allow you to go back to "romantic advice" videos, which made this channel's fortune some months ago, don't you think? (I have to add that I really like when you talk about growth and personal enlightenment, but I also recognise that "romance" sells better)

    Please elaborate more in another video regarding the following steps on how to get through this part moving forward. We are aware of the truth and know what needs to be done, additionally what never will be done and was never mine to begin with. It makes me feel a little worse sometimes to know that I am the person who initiated this in the very first place and it's been the hardest for me as I was more avoidant with those strategic people who perfectly positioned themselves to be seen as this far off thing that I continued to strive for and at a certain extent it hurts to know that they did know what was going on, how much pain I endured to try to keep this romantic ideal thing positivity possibility thing alive but feel that it's been revealed to all be a haux to further instill my inability to be affective or have anyone see me for how I see myself. Years have been spent away in hermit mode trying to take in so much information in hopes that by the grace of "God" somewhere sometime in the future it will be granted that if anything, okay, they didn't ever see me as their potential ideal, respect shake hands understood my apologies, but for someone who knew better, it takes everything within me not to want to express the amount of shock denial and anger that have brewed to this level of acceptance. Feels very exposing, scanning, examinating, and assuming in ways that make me still desire a solution or seeing a possible healthy and inspiring loving person who believes in this too but it's killing my spirit which I have felt is the greatest part of why We are here, so if nothing can help me but myself, why did all of this painful journey have to happen in the first place? I am way more able to let go and get to the facts of situations now just wish I knew how to better express the pieces of value I believe are still in there somewhere.....Curious to learn more about the way out of this giant mess of the "game" as the game never wants to associate with her games ever again 😂

    As a 52-year old guy I argue that these days young men often have fairly low testosterone levels and thus lack boldness. Older men like me, are more likely to be just fed up with the ridiculous nonsense alle these emotionally immature, so-called "modern" women exhibit. They are just not worth the effort anymore.

    In Plato's Symposium, Socrates argues that eros helps the soul recall its inherent knowledge of ideal beauty and spiritual truth. Thus, the ideal form of youthful beauty arouses erotic desire, but also points toward higher spiritual ideals.

    @rickyc46 Před 13 hodinami

    This is probably the most important video I need from you. I was taking notes and making sure not to miss anything. This thing has caused me a lot of pain in the past. And it was really hard to get over, but I'm glad I did and learned the lesson - There is a time to be emotionally invested and to not be (~the first 6 months = crisis of disillusionment time) - Orion's practice: he sees many men who have suffered because of not following this, so have the diligence period So why wait? 1. If you get attached to a woman with poor moral character will cause real suffering ahead (head vs heart issues ahead) 2. You will end up in the "adorer" role i. women don't like being the "adored" ii. It'll make you less attractive # You can't want someone into wanting you more. (So it's good to wait) One good date, great! but don't get ahead of yourself, resist the pull to emotionally invest too soon Poker - once in a while you will get good cards, but don't change emotions So how to? 1. Guard your thoughts = if she's not around, don't think about her. In general not good to think of things not around Stop fantasizing = you are training yourself to fall in love with a mental construct, not real her Be mindful of this, and redirect to other things, present, work fitness etc 2. If you've known each other for a few weeks you should not be texting everyday or all day! Constant communication accelerates the emotional intimacy process -> Responding to everything also makes the relationship into her cadence, will make you slip into her frame Get back when you can, not at her beck and call. You can't control her emotional reaction to that. She should be grateful she got a reply, not throwing a tantrum! 3* (=this point!). No inappropriate disclosure: Why trust a random stranger with deep secrets you don't know yet. Achille's wont tell about his heel situation to a new girl he met. RULE OF THUMB: probably more appropriate when you feel you can trust her with bank account information. While both are painful - recovering from being financially robbed is easier to recover from this Until then just be consenting adults who enjoy each other's company. So emotional intimacy grows ("falling in love") with: 1. mentally obsessing over someone 2. communicating constantly 3. being too emotionally vulnerable This doesn't mean never do this with a woman, but if you do make sure she's 1. safe, 2. trustworthy, 3. competent 4. loyal. anything before is just asking for pain, I got enough already :) So get a handle on your emotions

    My ex had major trust issues... to the point she accused me of cheating for several days when I changed the scent of my deoderant to Old Spice original from SpeedStick Sport and she mistook it for a woman's perfume. She felt like an ass when she was standing next to me one morning and got a whiff of the scent as I was putting on my deorderant and finally made the connection. A few years later, she falsely accused me again because I was working a lot of overtime to buy her an engagement ring, which I had planned to give her on Christmas Eve. She could have easily dropped into work and saw I was legitimately there and made some excuse for why she came to see me, but I guess she was too stupid for that. My own stupidity was when she made the accusation, I gave her the ring to prove I wasn't cheating. Had I been smart, I would have just shown her the ring then threw her out and saved it for someone who actually deserved it. At least she still felt like an idiot when I showed her the ring, but in hindsight I could have saved myself an extra 14 years of BS that I only saw after we finally split up.

    A woman’s body count is something men are hardwired to care about, just like women are hard wired to shy away from an emotional attachment to a coward. If those partners were chosen, chances are your genes weren’t passed on. A man would be raising another man’s child and the woman and her child wouldnt survive the brutalities of life back then.

I have been stuck in a very toxic and very long relationship and i never understood why no matter what i did i was still always wrong. I grew up with my grandfather who instilled in me the belief that i had to tey to be the better person in certain situations and i tought that was more so when dealing with women. But i feel like ive been in this on going cycle of wrath and sex for over two decades. At my age i just dont have the energy nor the interest to go on. Thats kind of where I am at this moment of my life.

    My ex-wife disrespected me a lot. Even worse was that I allowed it for far too long. I think the point where our marriage started to come to an end was the point in which I stopped allowing the disrespect to happen... primarily because it resulted in a narcissist losing control over me. I play music as a hobby. Its my way to relieve stress. It brings me joy. It is an extension of who I am as an individual. For a long time, as soon as I came home from work, she would say "No music today, (insert excuse as to why here)"... so I relegated myself to only playing music when she was out of the house... then came the chores list and a threat it hell to pay if it wasn't done by the time she got home... this list was long and would take me all day. As you can see where this is headed, it left me no time to enjoy my hobby and my passion... i got resentful. I would argue with her about it. I would give her back the same disrespect she was showing me. Eventually, when handed the chores list on my day off as she was about to go off to work; I would crumple up the list right in front of her and toss it in the trash. I did a few things off it at my liesure, but only after I satisfied my need to play music. With regard to the banning me from playing music when she was home, I reached a point where not only did I ignore her demand that I not go to my music room to play music every evening after work; but if I was playing my electric guitars, I played so loud I could not hear her shouting from the bottom of thr stairs to turn it down. Arguments about this would be met with "I was a musician when you married me, and you knew what you were getting into. If that was a problem, you shouldn't have said yes" My current wife understands that this is not just something I do for fun, but something I need in my life. She might ask me not to play music at certain times, but she at least allows me the opportunity. I think she knows by the stories I told about my ex, that if she wants our marriage to be a happy one, she needs to allow me some time to spend on my hobbies to decompress.
