Strong sense of self -

What is a strong sense of self? https://malavikasuresh.wordpress.com/2011/11/27/10-truths-of-having-a-strong-sense-of-self/

Does everyone here have it? It seems to me to be essential to being able to function through the day and be able to relate successfully with others. It's a strong knowledge of who you are as a human being and what you want.

Who here has it? Who here needs to work on it?

I haven't read the article but I know I have it when I read about people who are absolute animals in human disguise, only able to show the shallowest of emotions and self-awareness and often having trouble with it. I always think of Kadee when it comes to that, she makes OPL look like Aristotle in comparison https://kiwifarms.net/threads/kadeeliveslife-kadee-konstantino.21983/

I have a strong sense of knowing my porn addiction

Also this was my last post before Kiwi Farms went down. What a bad way to cap things off temporarily with, wasn't even a good joke.

Oh boy this is a difficult topic and a very multi facaded one.
Also it's probably the mis-representation of that that has lead to many SJW ideals.

Self identity, self purpose a strong sense of self. Yeah, these things are quite important to function in our current society.

And often with the rise of SJW's it comes from a complete lack of self identity.
We now live in a world where we are told. "You can be whatever you want" which sounds awesome on the surface, but then you stand inside of it, it becomes very confusing. What are you supposed to do then? What is the purpose of your exsistence? There must be a purpose right?

And then the SJW's buds in and can give you a purpose, and all these young people will start to self identify as all these things.
Trans-gender, Feminist, social justice warrior ext.

The problem though with all those self identifications is that they are limiting personal growth and not allowing freedom at all.

It's a strange thing as people need to have a strong sense of self identification to function. You know, like our job, our family status what ever. We need to feel like we have a role.
And yet, to base everything around this one arbitrary identification and base EVERTHING around calling yourself a "Feminist." or what ever, leads to insanity and complete totalitarian thought.

However, to be able to stand strong and fight against these people you also need a very strong sense of self.
Need to know who you are, what you believe in, what is your role among your friends and at work. Know who you are.

Milo Yianopolish knows he's a provocating faggot, he owns his own identity and is himself, that what makes him so strong and a force to reconned with.
His opposers base their identity around what the group tells them to do, they are jackshit without, and yet they are desperate to maintain this idenity because they have nothing else.
Take feminism away from the hardcore feminist and they have nothing, no sense of identity outside of this word what so ever, that's why they so desperately hang unto it and will fight with teethes and nails to stay relevant.
With out this identity as feminist, there is nothing.

So yeah, find your own idenity within yourself and don't base yourself on outside forces, it is unsustainable.

This. I don't understand why people are so desperate to pin their personality onto a personal quality they (supposedly) can't help but possess, like being a furry, or transgender, or black, etc. Why be proud of something over which you have no control? Shouldn't be pride be reserved for actual achievement?

You can totally help being a furry, though. A nice cup of bleach handles it.

Also it's ableist to expect people to achieve things.

Kiwi Farms needs to publish (anonymously of course) a Go Ask Alice style advice column for deviants.

On a serious note people who are genuinely disabled try hard as fuck to achieve things and deeply resent people who think they can't. And lolcows don't do shit and resent people who want them to do anything. As our President would say, "SAD!"

Yeah, that's true.
All truly disabled people I have met truly and honestly work to overcome their disability and wish to have normal lives.
They don't want to be treated as special people, they want to be treated as NORMAL people, and wish to archieve things by honestly earning them and working for them.

The sitting back in a corner and yelling. "I can't do this or that just because, feelings." is well... Unless you truly have been through trauma and suffer from clinical depression, that's pathetic.

I met so many with different mental illness's as well, and they work so hard to overcome it and be regarded as normal people. It's truly rare that these people want to be treated as someone special.

Hell, transgender people as well. The entire point is to transition flawlessly so they can truly call themselves."Men." or "Women." and pass of as a normal man or woman, instead of that. "I'm in between." bullshit.
Sure, it was kind of fun when Michael Jackson did it, but even him we had to kind of point and laugh at when it became to ridicoules.

Jesus christ pick one, and then STOP basing everything around fucking gender.

Yeah I am a woman, it's part of me. But it doesn't define me, there's so much else that defines me. My love of books and video games, my addiction to cats, my love of laying in my bed curling up for hours without any reason other than it's nice, my fascination with culture and mythology. All of my past exsperiences and memories, my dislike of sports but love of superheroes. All of this and so much more is what makes the person I am, and only very little of it has anything to do with my gender.

It's funny how it's the SJW's are the ones talking the loudest about breaking gender norms, yet they seem to be the ones the most caught up in it.

Also what makes all of this so unsustainable is that many of these SJW's care much more about how OTHER sees them, than they care about what comes from inside.

They are kind of pathetic as rebels like that, with the riff raff from "The Rocky horror picture show." You know, people from that time period. they want to be a distruption, they don't care what other thinks.
These new real life SJW's though whom wish they were the riff raff from Rocky horror picture show. They only care about how others percieve them, they are much more concerned with outside forces than inside forces.

Go Ask Alice is already for deviants. But we could give better advice.

Just like Quia

For me, a strong "sense of self" has always come from being resistant to stupidity and having a healthy sense of criticism to the outside world in general.

Certainly not instantly believing everything you are told and being able to make up your own mind about certain issues is a good start yes

Not relying so much on what other thinks but you know, as you said, a bit of common sense goes a long way.
