Very good. What would you say though if that were not true in some cases, or didn't appear so? I may be misunderstanding your posts, but I swear I'm reading them. ;). I do know as a child and certainly as a teen, I observed quite a bit.... What I mean is I watched people and thought about it, thought about them, who they were, why they were the way they were. I became sensitive to this and I guess that's why I am keen to pick up on their "energy". I think it was just in my nature and I was curious at a young age about those around me. I love learning about the human condition.
So, I can't familiarize myself with the things you noted in the earlier posts. Again, back to self worth, I watched how many people needed it to validate their place on earth. I see that now. Hell, I see that in several posters on glp. Haha. I found it weak to see how needy people are, and need that attention, so when, for example, you might say, "she is attractive", of course it's a compliment, and I recognize that, and of course I would much rather hear that than, oooooh "nice pic", LOL. get what I mean? But , I Think, because my mother needed it and need to show it off, and her affluence, i saw it as needy, not a strength. Erg. Does that make sense to you? I don't think I'm explaining it very well. I think you might have to start charging me! Haha. I don't think it's self worth as it is loathing that need to hear that.
But hey hey hey.... Don't stop on the count of me! You just keep the compliments coming, and I'll say, by damn you are a smart man! LMFAO. I'm sorry, it just pops in my head like that!
Now off to read your other posts. Sorry I have spell checked anything.
Quoting: PENG Being sensitive to other people, is what I labeled being "aware". When you begin to be very aware, you become sensitive. That can be bad i.e. too sensitive, but usually it means focused upon negative awareness and hence missing half or more of the sensations. When you become very sensitive, you become what I labeled as "psychic" i.e. seeing with all of your "consciousness" not just the intellect. Some people become awake or very psychic early in their lives.
A lot of shrinks become very sensitive, but that doesn't mean that they can actually practice what they preach either. They're human.
Some people who are very sensitive and also can develop good communication skills plus learn to connect with people and also learn how to motivate others, those people deliberately choose to use that in an occupation. That fascination that you're describing you experienced PENG, the one that deals with energy, that can help you in: being a coach, a healer (doctor or nurse), a teacher, a counselor (pastor, therapist, psychiatrist, etc).
The need for validation is so potent an instinct, that sometimes people will forgo eating and drinking water for validation i.e. anorexia or bulimia.
The need for validation is deep. A lot of crimes happen ultimately for validation. While some theft is done for a rush or for the acquisition of wealth, it sometimes happens because what is perceived to be valuable, if owned, even illegally, validates the thief.
If you understand validation, then a ton of human behavior become more understandable. In fact, there frequently is a validation component.
It's not enough to form a "true" perception or insight, when we communicate it (as I am myself doing) then often it is an attempt to seek validation of my perception. A troll could say, "ARGH, you just want attention. You're an attention-whore." Yes, that's a component of being on GLP. Validation.
We often will focus on a parent of the same sex. I see things in my dad that I don't like. For example, being very talkative and not saying anything but blather. It becomes a focus of my perception of him. Then if I take the long view, I see that often he's being very kind and connecting to people and repeating what they say, in a way validating them, but listening it sounds like blather. See?
By the way, the things people most dislike in others, are often the things we despise in ourselves. Since it's so hard to build self-worth, we can't criticize it in ourselves, so when we see it in others, we focus on it. Any time you feel repulsed by someone's behavior, stop, and then think, "When do I do that myself?" I bet you do some of that behavior and it irritates you, but most of us are not aware of the self.
