Great advice!

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."

- Viktor E. Frankl

Is this like where your drunk buddy puts a bucket on his head tells you to hit him with a bat? Are you asking us to try to offend you? 🤔 Hmmm.

The struggle is real.

Offense is taken, not given.

This is the way.

“Post and ghost”.

Easier said than done, but you’ve spent years building credibility in the space.

I have a feeling the accounts leaving comments that cause these feelings haven’t put in a fraction of that proof of work.

Keep doing your thing, Guy.

Good idea, hope it works. It can be frustrating!

Need to get yourself a Burn Book for those rare moments when you gotta say it somewhere 😂

Stoicism in a nutshell. You aren't responsible for other people's behaviour, only your own. There is nothing wrong with feeling, whether it's anger or joy. However, it is entirely up to you how you respond to those emotions.

That said, when you slip and react in line with your initial emotional response, there's nothing inherently wrong with that, to err is human after all. But cultivating the skill to take a deep breath before responding will reduce the occurrence of moments like that.

It's critical skills for guys especially. We're no less emotional than women, but we have a duty, due to our greater capacity for destruction, to learn how to manage our responses.

We should all strive to be like nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a

Awareness of the way you feel inside when you get “offended” and just observe this feeling that will be in your body/mind and stay calm with it until it dissipates. No blind reaction.

Ask why did this offend me? Usually we are defending an opinion or belief we hold deeply (ego).

Been practicing this for 8 yrs, it’s simple but not easy, our mind is conditioned to react to things coming in and we do it all the time, but we have a choice in the matter and with practice of awareness and equanimity we can start to make a change to the habit pattern of the mind from blind reaction to less reaction.

Proverbs 19:11.

Word! Still, being able to get offended, has a great seismographic function to it and it makes us what and who we are. Usually exactly that spot of pain (somehow) is where it becomes interesting, no?! But interesting to be reflected in an intimate space not in public arenas, indeed...

Do not try and suppress your anger for others, that's impossible. Only try to realize the truth. There are no others.

Well said, reject systematic outrage

In that case, I can finally release the truth for the whole world to see it.

I need some of this. I'm too hot headed ready to 🥊 (sometimes) and it was probably their goal 🤦‍♂️. What a giant waste of my time it was

Getting physically stronger also strengthens your mind.

I heard an advice that if you get angry, don't be compulsive. Wait 24 hours until you give a response, if you are still angry after 24 hours, then you let them know whatever is on your mind. Emotions and thoughts are fleeting and will subside. Its' difficult to make conscious actions. It's commendable when one is honest and transparent about it and want to honestly improve.

With Age, comes Wisdom on how to spend ones free time.

sometimes it's also helpful to mindfully embrace the anger.

it helps us to become even more aware of how fucked up most things/ people are.

and this in turn allows us to channel that energy into even more powerful value creation.

just like you are doing with the "Guys' takes"😍
