which means you don't actually overcome challenges

how so?

you just sideline them,

there is no room for "maybe I'm wrong" in a Ludvig

he's grown, he knows

after he's past something

it's not a matter of redefinition, mental games

or whatever else

but any of us could always be wrong, that is just intellectual honesty

you've got to stop using your faculty for logic

as a way to disable your spirit

like what you just said

I often consider that the last 15 years of my life was completely misspent

yes, of course that is correct

anyone can always be wrong

at the same time, there is the pull of the deeply felt truth

that you cannot say no to

no matter how much you want

I don't

I just do not share it

that is private

such a thing cannot truly be private, it's your true self

and that's why you would be unable to grow

vulnerability allows growth

I see what you mean

to an extent I agree

I find my life goes better when I am a bit more real and raw

and let my "true self" hang out

but I also know that if I fully exposed myself I would be penniless and ostracized in moments

my belief is, everyone is vulnerable

he who is invulnerable, isn't real

I make myself vulnerable

I get you

I agree

so basically I am fake because I am so guarded, which is true

but I don't know how it is for you really

in terms of how it feels

no, that's exactly how it feels

do you appreciate how much you come off that way to others though? I've always wondered

in online chats I mean

not real life
