>>12813867Honestly, I don't know why I bother to type this stuff out because it''s one of those things where either you already know, or you don't know and are incapable of really understanding. Basically, concisely, what you need to do is take some notes from post-traumatic states. Narcissism, codependency, antisocial personality disorder ("psychopathy"), (C)PTSD, etc. Other than the primary psychopath who's essentially (probably) a hard subhuman, the others were all put through conditioning which led them to split into pieces in order to conquer their internal world, most often to continue functioning in the face of a terror of existence itself.
How my mind is structured is that I don't really have an intact ego. I do not respond to superficial cognitive dissonance and can hold any and all angles in my mind simultaneously. Why can I do this? Because again, the ego is diminished. My identity and sense of self has no basis nor connection to the external world, it is not part of, nor of, this world. Instead, I have a limited core self (and perhaps a "true" self), and I construct a shell, a concept, a character, a proxy, and I insert that into *a* reality, then live and interact through it. It's not a lie, I'm not pretending or misleading anyone, but nonetheless when people interact with "me" they're actually interacting with that puppet I put forward. It processes everything, handles emotion (which are all contrived, designed, chosen, not spontaneous nor strictly "genuine" ot "false"), and I am learning from and managing based on how it all goes, but insulated from whatever is happening to it. The mind is rendered a pool, rather than a river.
In summary. These are what you can use right now.
-Hold everything apart from you.
-Do not become your desires.
-Do not become your beliefs.
-You are not your emotions. You are not in love, you are experiencing feeling in love.
-You are not how you are treated, you create yourself.
-No one else is to blame.
