Having decent relationships with other people != having a large number of superficial friends

• josefx 5y ago
  But it explicitly excludes friends, love and even respect. How do you have a decent relationship with people without any respect?

    By offering respect without the need to receive respect in return.
    • josefx 5y ago
      Ah so it encourages people to enter abusive relationships.
      • audreyt 5y ago
        Well, that would be offering respect while asking for disrespect... which is also a form of external validation.

  The a.i. warns against external validation from love and friends. It does not warn of superficial friends but "friends".
  • swid 5y ago
    I interpret the warning as the external validation part, not the type of friend.
