Have you ever wondered how much more you could do for your family if you didn’t need them to believe in you? If you just put the whole burden on your back? Not saying this is correct, just asking you to think about it as a thought exercise.
Discussion
The original post splits nuance down the middle.
If others, like your family don’t beleive in, it doesn’t matter.
Success isn’t contingent upon other’s belief in you.
And yet simply saying you don’t need anything but belief in yourself is solipsism.
Perhaps “belief” is the trouble word, cause it’s just a passive state.
“Just do things” gets at the heart of it.
Maybe some beliefs are more helpful than others, and support can be helpful, but at the end of the day ‘it don’t make a fuck.’
Just go crush.
Funny you mention solipsism. nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs does seem like a solipsist; he's kept me muted, gaslit me, and promoted the gangstalking that I'm targeted with on here, simply because I once tried to tell him he should try thinking in real terms, while he already had me muted for being more honest than he can handle.
He's really just against truth in general
And he posts the exact same gaslighting rephrased in different ways again and again, here's this same thread but with different phrasing 6 days ago
