I truly believe that there's ways it can be done with honesty and respect for all parties involved, but it's definitely not for everyone. I don't think it's the "liberating, fun" or "dirty, sinful" thing media/society usually portrays it as. Been thinking a lot about this toping lately, and I'm currently sitting on "I seem to be built for soul-crushing devotion of the monogamous variety (Personally! 😂) But I fully respect other people's preferences/choices in this regard, as long as everyone involved knows what's up and consciously consents." Super curious to see what others think!

We have a tendency to be depressed I think, I was wondering if anyone has overcome this and how?

OK seriously I feel like being a 4w5 is so hard to survive in this world.

Anyone relate?

There are lot of virtue signaling and etiquettes promoted in the society. You have to act charming, other say you have to be nice and helpful. We have read, listened to stuff as a young person and we are grew up with it. That becomes our personality. How do I make sure I am being me and what is me? Being in society requires you to be someone else and I agree with it. But How do we are being true to self and know self. And How do I know I am being real and attract real ehen I am dealing with close friends and family.

Why no one talks or posts stuff?

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned, or maybe i missed it.

For most of my life I've had a few friends, though they were more like acquaintances. You guys know what it's like. Superficial, you don't really relate personally and don't feel like you're operating on the same plane. It got lonely.

But I found my person. Someone I jive with in every way, we share the same interests and can relate intellectually and emotionally. I found someone I'm truly proud to call my friend. I honestly didn't know friendship could be like this, I always just thought I was cursed to walk this world alone.

Not anymore. :)

Would love to see/hear what y'all are up to or follow your projects or even see old stuff!

Life is a game as they say.

I agree.

Life is a game of Among us.

And it took me 21 years of life to figure out.....

that,

I was the IMPOSTER myself.

Does anyone have a career that they love? Why? I’m currently working in corporate job, coming from a marketing background, but I absolutely don’t see myself doing that for the rest of my life. I love doing research and creativity has played a very important role in my life.

I feel everyone nowadays has something to say about, but what they say aren't very revealing or something deep. Take movies or any artistic creations for example, most people will appreciate those works but they'll never have anything deep or insightful to say about it. As if they themselves aren't sure about why they like what they do. They seem to be running on autopilot, just consuming things mindlessly & forming opinions, without noticing the depth of anything. Now I'm not complaining about it but sometimes I feel deeply sad when others can't relate to me. I'm a very aesthetic guy & I find it sad when others can't appreciate my tastes. I don't know why I crave for consensus & yet simultaneously rebel against it. It's like I want to be an independent unique individual & at the same time I want to be related.

Example: I was watching Top Gun 1986 & I found out I absolutely loved the orangish sky. To me, it felt like the orange visual was subconsciously affecting audiences in deep way & the film wouldn't have had the same effect if the sky was bright & clear. But many people kind of ignores it or kind of take it for granted. Later, I found out that some people noticed the orange sky effect in Top Gun too!! And they calls it Tony Scott's Sky. I felt deeply relieved that I wasn't alone to think like that. But there comes some moments, when my artistic appreciation of a given work is so deep, unexplainable, that I don't find anyone who can relate to me & appreciate the way I see it. I think this sense of alienation is something I have trouble adjusting to.

Thank you!
