I think we should always strive to be our best selves and fuck what other ppl think.

I tend to stick with models closer to 'true self' rather than 'best self', since the latter can easily just become about pushing towards a construct ideal that isn't really what we're capable of or otherwise meant to do. 

For example, someone in a Wheelchair might make for a terrible Basketball player, but then they find Wheelchair Basketball: 



Thinking smarter rather than harder's the path to take. 

Nobody's perfect, and even if some of us could be, somebody would always take issue with some stupid thing.

Why they'd take issue with it could be enlightening to what's otherwise wrong with it, and rather than rebuking them their insight could at the very least educate as to why others might make certain mistakes. 

It's through others, even when they're insulting us, that we can see ourselves, but we have to see who those 'others' are to factor out the bias as best we can for whatever's left to the message that has utility. 

If we can go to bed every night mostly satisfied with our own standards and the best efforts we've put in to meet them, then that's all anybody can do, right?

They can attempt to reshape their standards, much like the path of temple monks.

As long as you're exercising and keeping fit and not gorging on cheap and trash like food or not doing things that harm others, why shouldn't you live as you like? 

Just re-noticed this with the room it has to be it's own prompt. Why should they have to keep up their fitness and eating habits if they don't otherwise have Health as a priority? While I am otherwise of the mind that it'd ideal to stay in shape, I've both seen others get away with not doing much for their form and as I've been slacking more on that lately it hasn't otherwise been as bad. 

From the opposite angle, there's also a lot of cases where someone "Living as they Like" means they overindulge or practice self-harming mindsets. If they think this is 'living as they like' while they're clearly not enjoying it in spite of their claims, should they keep on the path their going on, the maladaptive cycles that at many points can appear as if they'd never end much to their own disappointments and suffering? 

As an example: Masturbation. It feels good, isn't trash food and does no harm to others unless you're of the idea that wanking is baby-killing, but if you do it too often you're basically harming your ability to focus and function as well. Should the pleasure principle be the sole focus here, or should there be other priorities like how you've labeled food and exercise as an importance outside of 'living as you like'?

This is the most cringe mind trap you can find yourself on.

Acting like you want to be viewed. People can tell.

Delusional is where you will find yourself pretty much when you are trying to be what you ain't.

Like it or not, there is no fake it until you make it. You are or you are not.

 Fake it until you make it is an effective type of placebo that can help you achieve things, it just depends on how far and where and what level you want to take it to. You can definitely influence your brain by believing that you're helping yourself do something. Hope and placebo effects are pretty effective.

It has more luck tricking others than succeeding beyond the principle of having an excuse to practice something at all. 

Exhibit A: Narcissism.

Because I have these thoughts? There's a lot to unpack in what people are otherwise potentially subtexting.

I'm just saying that already you're imposing a standard they might not need in their lives to 'live as they'd like', and that once you've begun doing that that it's a slippery slope towards a lot of other impositions. 

'Where's the line?'.

being the person you wanna be viewed as. FOR EXAMPLE: i sometimes eat cheap shit, like processed meat etc and I think even when Im paying in the supermarket ohhh pls let no one i know or find cute be behind me in the cue so that they dont see that i eat that trash etc. i wonder what would happen to me if i would live like or be the person i would wanna be viewed as. would i be more stressed? would i be more happy?

 

thoughts?

 lmao. I can relate to this. I ran into my boss and I was carrying a bottle of vodka and a bag of doritos. She just looked at it and said, "you better not call in sick tomorrow." Sometimes I look at the trash I buy and pray I don't bump into anyone I know.

 Queue- a line of people waiting

Cue: a signal

 It wouldn’t change anything here. Everyone would still see you as the same person and associate lies with you. I’m the person I want to be seen as now and everyone sucks at updating their minds.
