I've stuck with you for 7 whole minutes & I haven't learned a single thing. As soon as you got into the manipulation stuff I simply had to stop it to save my sanity. If you think of a business negotiation in terms of the similarities between you & another person you identify as a manipulator, you have fundamentally misunderstood what business is all about. You're talking shit, so if you're selling shit, it doesn't matter how good a manipulator you are, it's still shit. Ideology is not business

@G58 well I read the first few lines of your post and had to stop to save my sanity - clearly you don't know what you are talking about but best of luck with that lol

I hear that line alot, "you don't know what you're talking about"

hints: they can say this if you are trying to figure them out and vice versa, but they cannot say anything about your own ability and vice versa. the only time you don't know what you're talking about is when you overtalk yourself with too many details. It's the root of my communication problems. I see it now that I should say little only if another is interested, and let them figure out bottled intentions themselves.

@Minan3 yes I don't sell anyone on it but I love it and I'll talk and talk about it all the time - if anyone wants to use it great if not no problem. I can only be the example of what it does for me and I'm not done yet

@Judy101101 and that is looking at another perspective, but not following it. I don't ask questions to follow anyone, as it is my adventurous nature that leads me to want to find out many perspectives other than my own.

The problem with me now is that I have looked at this specific perspective and started to like it. it can cause idolatry, so be careful. It's not that I am trying to stalk a person, I just find their perspective to be interesting, but that should be everyone, even bible thumps

[Judy101101]

@Minan3 what do you mean talking a person? you lost me there?

[Minan3]

@Judy101101 I wrote it clearly, "stalk a person". over time I realized that it's just a guilt thought from my own mind that stops me from talking to people. If I know what I am saying isn't coming from me, I shut up.

[Judy101101]

@Minan3 to be a fan of anyone is basically a stalker really

[Minan3]

@Judy101101 oh great, thanks for referring to "Misery"

that lady was that man's biggest fan, even if it meant breaking both his legs so he couldn't leave...

That's the first movie I've seen from Cathy bates.

[Judy101101]

@Minan3 love the name of that movie - misery lol
