- websitescenes 13y agoThis is the assumption I have been operating on but it has made me mentally sick fighting battles that don't mean anything. I need to adjust the way I am contributing to and analyzing hacker news.
- gesman 13y agoNo. Adjust the way you feel about actions of others. Git rid of "wanting approval" and keep posting your genuine thoughts.
- websitescenes 13y agoI will try to find balance. I definitely want to get rid of the "wanting approval" aspect. I also want to continue to post my genuine thoughts but I a want to use more of a filter in what thoughts I post and post them to the appropriate channels. I am somewhat new to all of this and I am trying to find my balance. Thank you for your support.
