Jung didn’t have much to say about self actualization I dont think. it was more Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers. The term refers to what is possible after you’ve managed to take care of all your other needs, and what is left is to become the best most genuine expression of your possibilities you can be. Most people will never get their needs met and so actualization in its purest form will be elusive and fleeting.
What you’re seeing are her parents’ prejudices. You’re doing great.
He actually does look like a cleaned up version of Charlie Manson in the photo.
You are blessed. Enjoy your family and this beautiful natural environment.
I’ve also been posting less after managing to upset someone. We can have a club. The shy posters club.
It’s para social. The person consuming it feels as though they are part of a relationship. EFIT: like TV but more interactive.
Limited cognitive empathy is teachable in many cases. It’s not so rare.
“And you ain’t in it!”
It does seem they’ll try to use his case as a deterrent to anyone thinking about following in his footsteps. I think they will be harsh and he’ll be made into a martyr. The religious imagery of Saint Luigi may be apt and more than just a meme.
There are many influences. One is pure resentment of elites as know-it-alls which propagandists amplify. A bit of Dunning–Kruger effect at the same time as people without specialized training can’t even comprehend what they don’t know. Another is how difficult it is to think probabilistically so that people can’t easily appreciate risk. And as more and more people proclaim conspiracy theories as truth there is peer pressure to confirm.
It’s fine to develop relationships at work and move them into “on good terms” territory if that is viable. It’s also fine if it is possible to move those viable work-friendships outside of the work environment to see if they can stand on their own. What is not smart however is to think that work-friendships are real friendships just because “we get along” at work. Most work friendships will drop you like a hot rock if you get fired. It’s important to be ready for that to happen even as you see what friendships might be viable.
Enjoy your home OP. May you live out many happy years under its shelter.
What are the chances that they will actually be respectful do you think. Might there be a case for simply not inviting them?
Yup, lowering a progressive income tax and increasing a regressive (sales) tax. The poor get hurt much more than the rich.
Well, I didn’t know that. I meant no disrespect. I was working off what seemed to me to be a humorous superficial resemblance. Apologies.

And my Mastodon!
Not wrong but not nuanced enough. Many Americans also believe in the ideas embodied in the Constitution and bill of rights. Many voted for the candidate who more strongly embodied those values. Just because the vote system is winner take all doesn’t mean that there aren’t Americans who are upset with this outcome.
If you don’t want kids, you really should listen to that and not be swayed by other sentiments IMHO. You can’t expect your wife to do all the heavy lifting; you will need to step up. And it is hard and unrelenting work to raise children. It’s okay if that’s something you were wanting to do as it can become a source of meaning. If you don’t want to be there it will feel like a trap and there will not be a way out of it. I appreciate that this might mean that you and your wife would need to separate so she could have a chance to have children without you. Its just that important that you go into having children really wanting to do it because if you dont want to do it it will hurt everyone.
