Conversation

sometimes I want to celebrate myself the way I celebrate my friends, but I hesitate bc my gut tells me it would be too easily parsed as narcissism it’s the exact same feeling of appreciation, but it’s unlikely to be parsed that way narcissists ruin self-love for the rest of us

in the course of an hour, my friend Visa sat me down, put everything aside, listened to my problems attentively and non-judgementally, was compassionate and kind and invited me to frame things in a healthy and nourishing way this is a thing this guy does, for all his friends

It varies a lot, seems almost seasonal, and correlated with this sort of content. On an average week maybe 2-3 people or so with mild cases. But it’s the big cases that change everything. Eg acquaintance runs from home bc abusive dad, need place, now lifelong friend. 1x/yr...?

Is a monetary thing for you in that case? It seems like you, specifically, wouldn't have to do that kind of work (taking on someone else's problems) unless you wanted to. Though, I am assuming about 50 things about your life in this tweet.

I look for and take on interesting and stimulating problems working with interesting people I get along with. I make as much money from it as I need to. It’s not complicated. It’s like any job you can enjoy, not sainthood.
