Behaviors

respecting and honoring the dignity of all individuals

Request: I work at a hospital with often very old and sickly people. This was recently sent out as an update to the company wide code of conduct and I like the way it is worded so I wanted to see how it calibrates. It feels similar to "kindness towards all of life in all its expressions."

friendship

The reality-testing capability to be friends with anyone. Includes the ability to keep constructive and appropriate boundaries.

backstabbing

"Betrayal (as by a verbal attack against one not present) especially by a false friend" -- merriam-webster.

giving up

Request: To cease making an effort; resign oneself to failure. Seems to be the ego's idea of what surrender is.

not wanting to get up in the morning

Request: What underlies this behavior?

carrying weapons for self-defense

Request: Legal ones. Fear? Not trusting God? Or perhaps self-love?

crybaby

One who cries or complains easily or often -- merriam-webster. By request.

hiding one's weaknesses from others so they don't attack there

An underlying question is whether hiding one's weakness is deception (at 140). Request: [is this] fear or prudence?

deception

"causing someone to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid" -- merriam-webster.

fear of missing out (FOMO)

"associated with a fear of regret, which may lead to concerns that one might miss an opportunity for social interaction, a novel experience, a memorable event, profitable investment or the comfort of those you love and who love you back" -- wikipedia.

saying to somebody: you are nobody, a loser

Request: I hear that in my life, and people treat me like that.

judging others by their past mistakes

Request: Most people have hidden negative past actions, but such secrets can eventually surface. Assuming they will be fully resolved may be unrealistic. Doc in "TtLoC" noted that unconditional love can impair judgment. How can we balance being non-judgmental with avoiding naivety?

ignoring someone so they will like you

Request: I am aware that this is manipulative, and it even seems sociopathic to me. However, I was given this "dating advice" recently by someone and would like to know how it calibrates.

seeing only the best in others or oneself

Is ignoring negativity a workable way to approach life? Also calibrated: seeing only the worst in others or oneself.

typing out a question on a post and then deleting it...

...because the answer was intuited and understood. Request: when interacting with the database and community. It seems like... the field silently answers my question or comment without actually having to post it. Is this possibly spiritual ego or is this a product of the collective psyche?
