what I like to think people hire me for: I am a sort of miniature perspective kaleidoscope; people come to me to try and look at things differently Attributes: Roughly similar to those that inform my dumpster diving - eagerness to chase odd connections, say “hey what about...”
-
what most people probably actually hire me for: I am a nice, supportive person who challenges people to be kinder to themselves attribute: I’m a moshpit medic, I don’t like seeing people trapped or in pain, I like freeing hypothetical birds stuck in nets + can be quite patient

I've traditionally been the "friend dad" who is reliable and resourceful, has some degree of wisdom/useful advice, and can handle crises. Lately my friendships have been weakening and I've been feeling that I don't bring much value to anyone. This is a nihilism of sorts.

Helping people on their path to mastery by treating their development seriously, encouraging their exploration of broader context while blocking malign influences, finding resources and connections.

Relies on my personal belief that other people are not here to be used as disposable tools for someone else's benefit. They are here to develop their own lives to the best extent possible. Unless they are lazy and entitled and then, no.

I aspire to turn the mirror on others (but not too fast, lest they run) and help them relate more effectively to what they see. Rely on curiosity, empathy, and loving detachment.
