Yes, that's why I qualified self-worth by field of competency. I really try to view the world objectively, ignoring the opinions of others, but after N fizzled relationships... is it me or is it you?
But just because you are detached from societal values doesn't imply you should be detached from people. I can't enumerate the intangibles I get by surrounding myself with others. I perform better, I have better ideas, I feel more alert. I've never been able to understand why as I never gain any objective aid. Does unexpected input promote flexible thinking? Am I inspired by differing worldviews to think outside the box. Or is it simple happiness? No idea.
- detourdog 2y agoThe closest conclusion is that some people are flexible and looking forward and others are rigid and looking for reasons to be dissatisfied.
- threecheese 2y agoThis was a very interesting discussion, and I just wanted to note that both of you are extremely articulate and I quite enjoyed reading your thoughts on this. - random stranger
- detourdog 2y agoI was reflecting on this conversation and since a random stranger seems to be interested…. I wish I had been kinder with my description of the less flexible. A better description I think is rigid and relates to others through dissatisfaction.
