Do you like people?

[shiels]

It’s hard isn’t it. I’m jealous if people who can settle and invest when I have to bounce around and skim. I do have lots of people k I love deeply but there’s nobody that doesn’t have something I desperately need to escape from after maybe 2 or 3 hours

 

[craner]

I like them more than ghosts and wasps.

It's fairly typical to have your fill of people after 2-3 hours, isn't it? I know I do. I guess a significant other is the exception, but that's just one person you have to tolerate.

 

[shiels]

This is something I’m quite ashamed of because it feels very teenage, irritable. Something that might be sorted by kids or greater responsibilities. But on another level, thinking of the sheer scale of personalities and shifting and striving personalities were exposed to these days I think there’s a bigger deeper numbers thing going on. A big devaluation

Do you love your wife?

 

[Leo]

yeah, that's why we tolerate one another. life is not endless bliss, with anyone.

 

[Leo]

by tolerate, I mean things are fine/good about 80% of the time and we annoy each other about 20% of the time.

 

[Leo]

guess my point is it's possible to make it work with one person and also have your fill with most everyone else after 2-3 hours.

I think you need to take yourself off the pedestal and ask "how do they put up with me?, Then act accordingly.

Yeah obviously Jesus you sanctimonious prick but do you like them

 

[HMGovt’s Glorious Return!]

Was trying to make a serious point. Try to resist narcissism, but you can't, cos you're a whopping cunt, we all know that.

do you love @Clinamenic ?

im in no position to give life advice. but for me the d&g concepts of I) assemblages and II) desiring machines are incredibly useful and practical for thinking about what you're doing when you're with other people

thinking of a group of people and thier surroundings as a single collective thing with a certain affective power essentially

is that because of all these ways we have to project our personalities? the internet, basically, and perhaps the other medias that we choose to subscribe to, massive shared experiences,
so you get a curated personality rather than a person

 

[shakahislop]

it's one of the ways that the impenetrable d&g use of language is worth it. coz for something like that its blatantly more accurate than the other language that's on the table

 

[Leo]

do you love @Clinamenic ?

that would be the inverse: tolerate each other 80% of the time and love 20%.

Imagine trying to translate all their stuff into French though, for example. Absolute nightmare.

does this mean you experience and engage with the collective thing as opposed to the annoying individuals?

Do you love your wife?

You sound like a Hollywood villain.
