RE: How Do You Expect To Win By Acting Like A Loser?
If you can't take it, take a step back and re-evaluate
I'm not sure if you noticed, but I was gone for quite some time. Not all, but part of the reason was to do exactly what you suggested here. This hasn't been easy for me either. We all should know one another's pain for it's something we all have in common. Hiding it is pointless. Blowing up is worse. We don't need to be all stuck in our pride all the time, sitting here acting perfect for the cameras. This shit is real and I think it's safe to say people want to look out for one another. If shit's bugging people, just say it, talk it out. Nothing to be embarrassed about. We all get it.
And thanks for enjoying that art. I certainly enjoy putting on a show, as much as anyone else.
Yeah, I noticed.
Of course no need to start acting for the cameras, one should be honest with one's feelings and it's ok to admit if one's mind is bothered with doubt, fear and the stress from all the uncertainty. It's a natural byproduct of being very invested with something and perceiving it to perform bad. Emphasis on 'perceiving', because tying success with what one's STEEM is worth in a given moment, is rather problematic, because the market is just speculation. But is is the only indicator we have, or react to, because money makes the world go around in this world – because that's what we need to pay our bills, so we are rather conditioned to react emotionally to it. This coupled with the fact that we're humans, thus tending to be more susceptible to negativity, all the development with the ecosystem holds very little value to most if it doesn't reflect on the immediate value one can sell the STEEM for.
You're a wise one. I can't even add to that. It seems like the conditioning from the current outside world has no effect here on numbing the pain. Can't simply reach for the crutch. Humanity here must reprogram themselves. A step back in time, to stay healthy, and learn how to live.
