And another day with some more magic on paper ✨ I often think about this how we are but mere projections, then we cannot judge how others see us. But I like how you put it better, it is only we who truly know

Is it projection that I think the patterns and projections on how we receive people and relationships can be two completely separate entities?

You make a very valid and solid insight into patterns and relationships. I just think projection can be imparted without a relationship per se, and even though it could be tied back to a pattern, I find it different than patterns in relationships.

That being said, I am reveling in your words and as always appreciate the thoughts they produce and how I look and receive, or not receive, things and people.

Yeah, I don’t think you’re wrong. I also think that with big ideas there are SO many ways to try to break them down or make sense of them through words and it can be accomplished pretty adequately but never really…OFFICIALLY. Originally I said to abie that ppl r projections of our insecurities. Then I realized they can also be projections of our securities — and actuslly now I realize these projections MAKE our patterns

Just to clarify, I do not think you are wrong either. I was thinking more of people projecting on to others without necessarily having a relationship or intention to, though it could go back to the relationships they have with themselves and others. Like you said. I I love the sentiment of projecting on securities as well. 😊

Patterns are a whole other topic for me, I do not necessarily relate the two so I think that is where my thought process about it wavers. That's all. You do have a point and maybe connecting the two is what I needed to think about?

It is a conversation starter and the way you convey your thoughts is so clear from your point of view it encourages others to realize theirs as well. I know I have said this before. I will keep saying it!

I have never heard of him and he is right. 😊

In regards to the fraud aspect, it makes me think of Breakfast at Tiffany's. When they call Holly Golightly a "real" phony. I think that does apply. Whether it is imposter syndrome, having different business and personal relationships and lives, family matters, etc... We all have to fake the funk somewhere right? At some point?

There is no limited amount of success, there is enough for everyone. It's not like it is a success pie with a limited amount of pieces. The happy and successful people are out there supporting others and that is part of their success. They do not have time to tear people down, etc... In another vein, I see playing big can sometimes bear the weight of making other people feel insecure, uncomfortable, or that you got more than they did without realizing the work and sacrifices behind it, I know I have ranted about this before. It can make feel playing small like the "nice" thing to do, or just not want the attention taking up space brings. It is along the same lines of the Nepo Baby controversy, ugly competitiveness and pettiness is just a part of it. Privilege can come in many different packages and assuming is the worst. I also work in an industry where nepotism is preferred and respected so I think shaming someone for carrying on their family business and the perks that come with it while not acknowledging what they individually being to the table with their work ethic, dedication, etc.. is absurd to me. That is just my humble opinion on it, and I have been experiencing a lot of that attitude right now, I think it's the last push through the breakthrough on the next level/phase, though I am not going to lie, it's hard. I am experiencing support and sweetness, in the ordinary and un-ordinary as well, so it's not all terrible. I think all of it is new, when you are different and change (which is the point, even subtly, when you put in the work it happens - Growth), the way people react to you is different and it's an adjustment. That is my Aha moment when you mentioned immaturity, it is learning how to be the new you in a new world. Once you do that, it starts all over again. 🙃

Thanks for sharing this! There are so many ways to look at it and it all applies. ☺️
