kiki3618949d@retoor happy new year to you too!
What I say _about you_ says nothing about _you_. But when I say that Tailwind sucks, it does say something about Tailwind lol -
kiki3618949d@atheist I don’t think I agree. As a bipolar patient that lives with a MDD patient, I know how not just thoughts but the whole worldview can change drastically when the medication changes. When you’re adjusting your SSRI dosage, you _will_ be contemplating suicide. Every single person thinks that, there are no exceptions I know of, and I know quite a few people who take them. Those thoughts will vanish completely once the target dosage is reached. This is why you monitor a person very closely when they change their medication scheme
Suicide is a serious topic both psychologically and philosophically, but this instance of contemplating it says nothing about the thinker as a person. -
retoor477249d@kiki as bopilar you probably know how it feels to care about everything people say about you to literally not caring about that at all. The moment that you really don't care anymore, your behavior becomes slightly different and people adapt their behavior to you like magic. People who say that they don't care what to there think; liars, it's a weird condition.
@kiki / @atheist do you guys believe in feromons? I do 100%. -
atheist1023349d@kiki I don't think our traits are immutable, we're chemical computers that take drugs to load different software (what taking ADHD meds feels like sometimes).

kiki3618949d@atheist to me it feels like circuit bending sometimes lol
yeah, we aren't immutable, but still, the only thing that matters is the sum of our actions. That's the only thing that says something about us once we're dead. Do you know why we don't say “before the big bang”? It's not because the time itself only appeared during the big bang, so saying “before” and “big bang” is like dividing by zero. Far from it! We don't say before the big bang because the singularity from which everything originated did erase what was before. You couldn't have deduced anything by observing that tiny jam-packed singularity.
What someone says or thinks about you says nothing about you. What YOU yourself say or think about yourself says nothing about you.
A man is a sum of their actions, nothing more and nothing less. Consequences of those actions will be here and affect the world long after you're dead and buried.
So, if someone disrespects you in the comment section, it doesn't mean you deserve/attract disrespect. Same goes for your workplace.
