I'm posting this here for accountability:

I'm going to try my absolute best to not get offended by *anyone* on social media anymore. Anytime somebody comes in with some stupid comment, or makes a giant list of assumptions and basically accuses me of something retarded, or is purposefully demeaning, I am not going to react with trying to "one up" them or get super defensive. I'm just going to answer any points or contradict their premise where it makes sense. And where its just totally useless or there's nothing to even argue with, I won't engage.

Doesn't mean I won't be angry about some injustice or crazy story or whatever, and it certainly doesn't mean I will always follow this rule perfectly. Just wanted to make it known for a little bit of reinforcement that this is a goal of mine & I'm going to try to make sure I'm not letting someone else control how I feel, or what I think about.

Is this like where your drunk buddy puts a bucket on his head tells you to hit him with a bat? Are you asking us to try to offend you? 🤔 Hmmm.

“Post and ghost”. Easier said than done, but you’ve spent years building credibility in the space. I have a feeling the accounts leaving comments that cause these feelings haven’t put in a fraction of that proof of work. Keep doing your thing, Guy.

Good idea, hope it works. It can be frustrating!

Need to get yourself a Burn Book for those rare moments when you gotta say it somewhere 😂 https://cdn.nostr.build/i/caf92077f94ab6a7e6b857301adb488d2a6c42091eb7c240c64876ccf683ef37.jpg

Stoicism in a nutshell. You aren't responsible for other people's behaviour, only your own. There is nothing wrong with feeling, whether it's anger or joy. However, it is entirely up to you how you respond to those emotions. That said, when you slip and react in line with your initial emotional re...

Awareness of the way you feel inside when you get “offended” and just observe this feeling that will be in your body/mind and stay calm with it until it dissipates. No blind reaction. Ask why did this offend me? Usually we are defending an opinion or belief we hold deeply (ego). Been pract...

Word! Still, being able to get offended, has a great seismographic function to it and it makes us what and who we are. Usually exactly that spot of pain (somehow) is where it becomes interesting, no?! But interesting to be reflected in an intimate space not in public arenas, indeed...

I need some of this. I'm too hot headed ready to 🥊 (sometimes) and it was probably their goal 🤦‍♂️. What a giant waste of my time it was

I heard an advice that if you get angry, don't be compulsive. Wait 24 hours until you give a response, if you are still angry after 24 hours, then you let them know whatever is on your mind. Emotions and thoughts are fleeting and will subside. Its' difficult to make conscious actions. It's commendab...

sometimes it's also helpful to mindfully embrace the anger. it helps us to become even more aware of how fucked up most things/ people are. and this in turn allows us to channel that energy into even more powerful value creation. just like you are doing with the "Guys' takes"😍
