Sounds like progress
Yes Peregrinus, i think so too
Well howdy do to you too!
So...care to share with the rest of the class how your mindset has evolved from then till now? I take it the words me and the fellas typed last year make a lot more sense this year?

...still got that seat.
after taking a look at that thread, back then i was saying that i can't imagine how a relationship could work with the indifference concept. I thought that such a relationship would be cold, that's why i kept mentioning bonds and other stuff. Now i
can imagine and
do understand how a relationship works with indifference, and actually i find it better this way. Even if talking about bonds, with indifference you can be bonded but unattached, this was the missing link i guess, and this is what's making the difference in me now.
Only you and Peregrinus mentioned this in that thread, what i discussed with the other guys was whether bonds exist or not. Anyway, i kept reading here and thinking since then, and yes, what i read here now makes much more sense to me than it did back then.
Respect to you Kidd and to Peregrinus, i learned and am still learning a lot from both of you.
I told you back then (on our pm exchange) that it will all make sense in the future. I'm glad you are starting to see it. Don't worry It took me time (and sometimes pain) to understand some things too, it's not always a sweet ride but one must go through.
Thanks Sniper
. Yes, it's making sense now, and it does need some time to grasp and understand.
Man!!
Barca was all in with this silly thing society calls a bond
. Reading that all over again reminds me of how blind I was, I give him this he was adamant, persistent, and truly believed in what he was debating about.
Bond, Love= Perception of value
This harsh truth is what mankind is all about that and self interest. So tell us Barca what has changed since this thread I am really inclined to hear all about it please share.
I would love to hear your stories and experience(s)
actually a lot of things have changed, some of which i wasn't really aware of until this moment, where i'm thinking about this. For example, concepts like "loving one's self" and "space" are making my interactions with people much more clear. Now i can recognise it when someone tries to use me or take my space, especially women. This wasn't the case before.
I also am enjoying my life with myself, doing the things i like to do. I'm going regularly to the gym, after i lost the 15 kg of weight that i gained 2 years ago, and i have a much healthier body now. This alone gave me such a great feeling of satisfaction, especially that i'm playing soccer a lot better now (soccer is my most favourite hobby). I started learning spanish, this would be my fourth language, and i found a side job, bought me some nice stuff
. Other than that i'm still studying and i'm doing well.
Another thing that i'm doing is to observ my own self, especially when interacting with people. I can't believe how much i didn't know myself, i seem sometimes to behave and give certain vibes that i wasn't really aware of. Now i
am, and i'm working on them.
So far this whole thing has been giving me a lot of freedom and confidence. I have also been getting signs of interest from girls here and there, sometimes in a way i never experienced before (for example there's a girl in my dorm who seems lately to want my satisfaction or approval, the other day i was talking about how dry my hands are because of the cold weather, so she went and brought her lotion and lotioned my hands for me while i was just sitting. This might not be something but i never really had this happen to me before, it was fun
). I still have a lot to learn and improve though.
