The Self-Help Thread

That is something a certain vampire lady would say to extort money off of you. :sweat_smile:

Did you remember to remove the negative judgement before that anxiety happened, sir?

Then I’m going to apologize to you for my insensitiveness, Mr. Frostpacker.

We are all here on our own terms and there is nothing to apologise.

There are a few ways that could reply to your comment before but let’s assume this is a new thread reply.

Thsi is very true, however Zaera is evil but does not have an abundance of money, Frostpacker needs to fix this.

The top of my head shows signs of aging along with evidence of having the hair loss gone.

I plan to use the clippers tonight before my shower.

Is there hope for my baldness? Had the time had passed already?

Actually there are many hair follicles on the scalp yet they just don’t sprout any new hairs.

May we discuss my scalp at all?

There are many other more important subjects yet seeing how we are no longer role playing and how you unseen to have your hand in the cocky jar then perhaps there could as well be roleplay on the top of my head before you are rewarded as promised necessary had once played along n an eve online rp and was rewarded month after month for her participation.

Zaera is what you see, a mysteriously delicious little package of evil

Here it is, sir:

Since we’re on topic of Self-Help, here’s an example interview of how empowering humans is important.

Up until recently I’ve only seen the cut & edited versions of the “Dr. Phil’s spoiled brat” video. This is the least edited version I could find spread out through two videos, and it makes much more sense when watched that way:

If you watch the second video after the first, you’ll understand why she has become spoiled.

  • Dr. Phil is right on self worth. the thought of NEED for them serves as a way to fill a void inside the person.

  • I also agree with what is said about overindulgence. It is child abuse. It is a cop out mechanism for parents to not deal with the uncomfortable issues. Spoiling, instead of loving her will not make the child into an adult into a self-sufficient adult. See the image 2 bullet points below for more details.

  • On the subject of “Re-parenting”…If the mother asks “How do I do that?” (just like in the second video) then it is the exact same thing of having a newborn plopped-out-of-you baby in your arms at the hospital bed and asking “How do I parent?”. I have bad news. If you pose such a question at that stage instead of at least a decade ago, then the idea of having an offspring is an “afterthought in life”. Is Re-Parenting possible? Yes, but it’ll take lots of sincere, dedicated effort and comprehensive, crystal clear communication skills…which was needed at the start of life.

  • “Giving more love and less money” part is not explained at all. Phil just utters that sentence and says that she needs to get a job. That will not get her anywhere in life at all, she’ll be burning her candle at both ends unless she finds her “Ikigai”.
    Wikipedia defines Ikigai as:
    Ikigai (生き甲斐, lit. ‘a reason for being’) is a Japanese concept referring to what an individual defines as the meaning of their life.

There is at least one very popular book about the subject and several others, but here’s a picture that is “worth a thousand words”:


The image itself is a pretty self-explanatory approach to deciding what a person wants to do in life.
Now, I know that they’re really time constrained and can only address so many issues, but he could’ve said that there’s a book/concept he recommends and she should go research that. Or perhaps we was feeling too much contempt for her that he forgot to mention or it is edited out I don’t know? The parent doesn’t know what makes a person get out of the bed every morning, so she can’t teach her kid what she doesn’t know.

  • As for the last part of that second video if we remember the parable of “The North Wind and the Sun”, then that can be applied to parenting, or even Re-Parenting, in this case. Instead of trying to coerce them by saying “Go to school!” or “Go to work!”. It would be much better to encourage and empowering them.
    The North Wind and the Sun - Wikipedia

I knew a guy in EVE, until I quit recently, who dispensed capital ships to newbies like a vending machine, as an incentive for them to join his corp inside a major alliance. and that didn’t prevent the dramas of “but I wanted a titan instead!”. So that “spoiledness” is a prevalent thing both in real life and in EVE Online. His name shall remain undisclosed.

In the end, the elephant in the room is not the child herself, but it is the parent’s approach to raising.

Trying to change somebody’s belief is harder than getting ISK out of a Frostpacker.

How can isk help you?

You can try to share with us some ideas of what to spend isk on then perhaps it might help us log in to Eve online again.

May we talk about something that is more important than donating isk to @Aiko_Danuja !

As you may not know but Frosty had signed a lifetime contract with the real princess of highsec.

Anyway the reason for this thread is because I am really reaching out about something.

May I please get Maggie back @Uriel_the_Flame

sounds like gibberish to me………..most would call that a psychotic break…….

Your body becomes just as dependent as when drinking water.

Detoxification can kill.

You know what needs to happen yet you are afraid of committing to the solution.
