Yyep!=))

Seriously, human existence is a collective learning experience, Stagnation started rubbing its hands with perverse delight the instant we forewent vulnerability and openness for excesive individualism.

Edit: I still don't know how to adequately open up to someone else, after a decade of trying to figure it out. After being raised to be a soulless performance machine and being surrounded by people who cave in to the grindset, I don't know what it means to be open and vulnerable with another person.

And it sucks so much long-term, I can feel it as though I'm being held back several grades, like I'm completely missing the point of my own lived experience and have no idea what to do with it, because I don't have the framework of a big picture atop which to analyse things, and I think that framework would be having enough perspectives which aren't my own in my life.

I've finally understood what Alan Watts said, that we can't know ourselves unless we have other people around to help us see who we aren't. It's because we know too well who we are, but not knowing who we aren't, that's like trying to understand fire without knowing ice.

Guess I'll just die, then!

That's why I bought a watch;)

Well, found the one downside to not knowing what day it is, thank you!

What the actual fuck... Really? Fucking really, MatchGroup?!

You don't need to assume that it isn't a tragic familial background, either. Or any other sort of trauma/condition which would push one to close off. Throwing the "soulless" label aroud willy-nilly is just an extension of abusing the "narcissist" moniker. It prohibits any nuance and facilitates unjustified suspicion.

Yes, there are sociopaths who can be considered soulless. But just because one is odd does not intrinsically mean one is soulless. There's a plethora of other potential reasons.

Plus, don't forget, oddity is in the eye of the beholder in the first place. My odd may be completely different than your odd.

Coming from Trump and his ilk, that's a compliment. Fuck you, too, orange buddy.

Ooor, someone had to "survive" their family's bullshit and being unseen was the best way to do it. Then it became so ingrained in said someone's existential fingerprint, that they're now a ninja without even realising it.

Yyyep, that sounds pretty standard fare (no pun intended), I've lived mostly in abstract neighborhoods in terms of infrastructure and had to chase rides in a grand majority of cases.

Plus, honestly, even the way it handled the construction jam sounds acceptable, reminds me of my first days of learning to drive. As long as they stop and stay stopped, that's way better than deciding to ignore the sensor data and just go for it, like... some other models...

Genuinely a relief to hear, thank you!

As snarky as my initial comment may sound (even to me, I have by-proxy distrust of contemporary models due to their knobhead owners), I'm genuinely glad to hear they figured that one out! At least there's less danger for everyone around, at the VERY least.
