Be wary of liberating social movements and medical advances. They’re bound to be covert forms of control. . #conspiracytheory #conspiracy #conspiracytheorythursday #satire #funnymemes #fun #funny #jokes #bravenewworld #criticalthinking #feminism #metoo #sti #safesex #sex #mindcontrol #freemasons #freesexuality #unfalsifiablehypothesis #lovequotes #quotes #imademyselflaugh #imademyselflaughagain #soundstrue #whynot #quotestoliveby #coverup

brainembryos.com/empathyselfgain4 Ah! Everyone must have heard, if not thought or spoken the idea that ‘we need to like ourselves, instead of making others like us’. Social media overflows with this right? . But what does this actually mean in practice? How does our own self-esteem actually impact on our interactions with others? How do we keep a balance between healthy self-esteem and a harmful sense of superiority? . It’s actually very difficult to link this idea with a possible ‘reality’, isn’t it? That is, unless we’re also developing the skills of paying attention to our own and others behaviour and the thoughts and feelings happening at the same time within ourselves- with objective curiosity rather than judgement. . brainembryos.com/empathyselfgain4 ‘Liking Myself’ Is an upside-down paying attention ‘experiment’ to test whether paying more attention to our own needs and others’ could help with liking ourselves more. . #selflove #selflovequotes #selfesteem #empathy #empathyexperiments #empathyexperiment #relationshipgoals #relationships #empathyquotes #mindful #mindfulness #selfawareness #selfreflection #consciousness #healthyrelationships #humanneeds #lovequotes #quotestagram #quotesdaily #instaquotes #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #psychology #narcissism #narcissist #lowselfesteem

Is anyone thinking: “Holy crap! This ‘empathy’ thing is over-complicated... Everyone should just be nice to each other, simple. I am”? Simple? brainembryos.com/empathyselfgain3 . Yep, seems ‘simple’... Unless we compare our ‘theory brain’ to our ‘paying attention brain’ to notice: . •The times when someone understands what others might feel and think so well that they use it for their own unfair advantage. That requires ‘empathy’, right? And it hurts, causing intrigue and drama. . •Or, the times when someone truly believes they ‘empathise’ but it appears like they’re just feeling their own reactions. And honestly? They just seem more self-absorbed and unable to do much of use, rather than ‘empathetic’. They genuinely think they feel others experiences, right? They genuinely believe that they’re ‘caring’. But it complicates things and makes them unreliable. . •Or the times when someone, weirdly, is very honest about their own ‘selfish’ needs and feelings. But they still seem to ‘know’ exactly ‘the right thing’ to say and do that gives good outcomes for everyone. This *appears* ‘uncomplicated’ and ‘easy’ for them and everyone else. It’s often unnoticeable that they’re even doing something special in their minds and actions.... Ironically, it’s this complicated balance that seems to match our simple ideal of ‘empathy’, isn’t it? Whaaaaattttt???? Simplicity might come from complexity? . •Or, for the self-aware and self-reflective, who notice the times when this ‘someone’ is ourselves to some degree- even when the impact is minor. I’ve noticed very well that all these ‘someones’ have and can be me. . •Attention to these times highlights empathy skills as complex, needing ongoing co-operation between the feeling, thinking and acting self to be useful for a ‘simple’ life, don’t they? The good news? Empathy skills can be learnt for our own and others benefit! . #empathy #selflove #selflovequotes #cognitiveempathy #empathyexperiments #empathyexperiment #selfesteem #selfconfidence #relationships #healthyrelationships #relationshipgoals #relationshipquotes #lovequotes #selfawareness #selfreflection #mindful #mindfulness #consciousness #emotionalintelligence
