I'm pretty lost too man, by everything I'm witnessing here.
What really has me lost about this particular comment, is the fact that someone would willingly spend copious amounts of time, in a (virtual) world, where they cannot trust others, or at the very least, give benefit of doubt to the fact that we are real humans, engaging with each other with a tool.
I'm really confused by this logic, and maybe I've been up too many hours reading comments here, idk... But I would not spend time in a world where I couldn't trust anyone..
This is only my opinion here, but I think a complete lack of ability to give people the benefit of the doubt, speaks volumes on a persons character. What does it indicate? Not sure, but every "partner" I've ever had who couldn't trust me, ended up being a cheater 🤔
I certainly would not want to have interactions with someone, only to find out, they never trusted me the entire time. I would rather they tell me upfront and get it out of the way, or maybe, just not interact with me at all.
Spending time in a world where you can trust no one.... damn..
My mind is officially blown.
You have me! So is @crypto.piotr 🤣 I'm a hard ass yo. Why the hell do you wake up so early? Don't you sleep? I thought our last conversation is like what? 2 hours ago?😂

Dear @futuremind
Thank you for your mature and polite comment.
I understand your point of view. And surely it cannot be easy to distrus everyone. Life must be so much harder.
It's funny that you said that, but I just spoke with my own life partner about this issue few days ago. Basically we talked a lot about trust in general. Especially online.
I kind of feel very same way. The only thing is that I like FitinFun. Eh ...
Cheers
Piotr
I like her too, even though we've never interacted. I 👁️ quite a bit.
Thank you @fitinfun, I respect the wisdom of my elders very much. I'm pretty open with my personal struggles and fight throughout life, and am now a hermit (in the physical word) searching for healing and wisdom. I do, very much so, try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
I enjoy studying psychology and personalities, so I kindly thank you for this analysis you've presented here. I have an insatiable appetite for knowledge and wisdom.
I found this to be a very intelligent breakdown on your theory of people. I hope I didn't strike you as an asshole. I certainly have the propensity to be one at times, perhaps because I am passionate
ego driven at times maybewith my beliefs.I think I can learn a great deal from you. Thank you @fitinfun
Seriously @futuremind your comments are blowing my mind. We're so very like-minded.
I LOVE learning about people. For that reason I was backpacking through middle east, russia, china. I've been in so many places all over the world. Learning how people think and how they differently react in similar situations is mindblowing.
Really loved your little chat with "hermit" @fitinfun :)
Yours
Piotr
You're welcome. I'm a hermit myself, but a nomadic one. Just be careful in this place because many are not who they seem to be.
Will do @fitinfun 👌
I'll see you around, maybe I'll even compose a nomadic song sometime and share it with you. I'll have to check into the style, I like to explore new things. 😎
That's an interesting idea. I do not listen to much music. I'm trying to focus!
¡Holy crap! and now you two talking about hermits and nomadic (in my case 'realengos') dogs, you have just invoked my ascetic presence here. ¿eh? ¿How cute is that? :)
Very wise tips those you've just shared here through your audiovisual sample @fitinfun. In my opinion, a great reflection in your own live voice that was certainly needed in the context of this post made by @crypto.piotr, and the inquirings made by @futuremind and other commentators along this post. ¡My obeisances! :)
However, I would like to share also an additional concept to all of you here as to expand and comprehend a bit further the cautious & skeptic position of Sharon on her video as also address the few doubts shown by @futuremind a few comments above.
It is called "The Bystander Effect" A curious syndrome and interesting phenomena that mostly have place when a 'victim' is surrounded by a crowd or group rather than a single bystander. And where the usual social Rule Of The Game is: "Don't get involved if you are afraid to stand out from the crowd to take action to help someone if no one else does"
Unless, of course, that you already have developed a pretty healthy and brawny set of Mirror Neurons within your 'Human' system. };)
My apologies in advance if my nosy intervention and interruption may seem improper or not relevant. But I would say it was all your fault by mentioning hermit & nomadic so many times along this post.
Cheers!! :)
Yes, I have definitely seen that Bystander Effect in my own life and when coming across others in need. We do not want to be first or take responsibility at times like that. Do you step over someone, or do you try to help them? As I said in my video - most will pass by. I did this myself just recently, and you can see it in my Wednesday Walk post this week. Could I help that man? I decided no.
You cannot fault people, you can only wait for the person who will help or get up and help yourself.
I had not heard of the mirror neuron phenomenon before. I probably don't have much of it. I often will leave a place rather than try to fit in :)
Thank you for this interpretation and links. During a long lived addiction to drugs and alcohol, I lived on the streets on and off for 10 years. Something I enjoy doing now, when I have the resources, is going out and helping homeless individuals, because I know very well this phenomenon described in the video, and really psychology can complicate things when we try to explain why people behave in certain manners. I call it cowardice in most applications. 90 percent of those people want to help, but they are afraid to be judged by others. I help people in need, whether the crowd gives me a funny look or not, and I could really care less what the crowd thinks of me, because I already know, most people are suffering from this induced/programmed state. Humans are herd animals right? We (collectively) will do what everyone else does.
It's easy to read books and internet links to understand these concepts, it's different when you've lived these concepts. (And I'm not assuming you are someone who hasn't, this is more a generalized statement) I've lived as someone people saluted, and I've lived as someone people spit on.
I still need to read this mirror neuron article a bit more thoroughly. Thank you, It's much appreciated.
dear @fitinfun
I kind of do understand your reasons, but ...
particulary in steem - people are not as anonymous as we like to believe. We really are not. surely not for any real authorities out there.
Just sayin` :)
Cheers
Piotr
We are not the authorities and have no time or way to vet these people ourselves. The fact that spy networks can find them in no warm fuzzy for me personally.
