Top 10 tips for 2025
I’ve seen a lot of people who have problems with anxiety or fear of what people think of them, and I struggle with that myself. In studying it I’ve learned that it is a super easy trap to fall into.
We often think worrying about other’s opinions means we care about their opinion too much. As if we are being too selfless, or caring about them too much. Fearing others actually means the opposite.
If you worry about someone’s opinion, it means you want them to accept you. You want them to like you. This means you think you deserve acceptance and being liked, and fear missing out on it.
This means that self-affirmation slogans (“I am worthy of love and respect.” was the first one I found on google ) actually make the problem worse. When you inflate your opinion of yourself, becoming the opposite of humble, it makes you worry about others more, not less.
Even worse, you are actually not caring about the other person, but just the acceptance they can give you. You want to use them, to act a certain way (put money in the vending machine), to get something from them, such as liking you or accepting you. This really hurts friendship because you are not there for them, just for yourself.
What do y’all think of this theory? I find it very convincing myself, let me know what you think. (I did not come up with this myself btw)

Hi guys!
A memorial site will be set up next week to showcase the history of Blaze and will serve as an archive of our website.
This will not be hosted by Wix since we’ve already cut them off, but we will keep you updated on when that site is available.
Stay tuned. RIP Blaze
Listen to me very closely, you idiot.
YOU DO NOT THINK IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL ABOUT SUPERINTELLIGENCES CONSIDERING WHETHER OR NOT TO BLACKMAIL YOU. THAT IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE THING WHICH GIVES THEM A MOTIVE TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE BLACKMAIL.

The writing meta is shifting. What used to be good style is now just considered AI slop, so you have to learn how to write in a way that is good, but still different than AI style. I think that’s really interesting.
