  • I have spent the last 20 minutes trying to come up with a reply to this, but I just can’t get my head around it.

    imo, if you’re interested in a person, acting is always the correct thing to do, because it’s the only thing that resolves aforementioned ambiguity. But acting also always involves asking. Asking someone out on a date, or just to meet up. In regards to physical stuff, asking if you can touch or kiss somebody. Is there something I miss here?



  • So this is interesting… My favorite of the definitions of “opinion” I found is

    belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge

    Because I was about to say that it’s impossible not to have an opinion, which might not be entirely correct.

    In DBT we were told that there are helpful, consequential and inconsequential ehm… evaluations? Assessments? Judgments? I don’t know the exact translation. Anyway, an important thing I realized then was that opinions/values etc are not something you form consciously, they just kinda pop up in your head and change shapes depending on what you learn and experience. You are able to detach from your opinions, look at them from the outside.

    edit: so what I ultimately wanted to tell you is that you can do this detachment thing with other people’s opinions as well.
