#be specific!

so last year,i was manifesting a girlfriend but all i was telling the universe was 'i want a girlfriend,i want her with this personality,i want her like this'.and guess what?i did get the girl i was manifestating for in the most unexpected way possible and it was 8months since i started manifesting.the thing is all I was telling the universe is what I want,i am not being specific to them when I want it or how i want to happen.

while earlier i took a final exam and the thing is i don't go to lecture on that subs and i did not review anything at all I basically know nothing about the exam then after taking the exam i told the universe i want to have 50points and i want to see it happen now.and guess what?I did score 50points and our prof checked our papers right there and let us know our points when she never does that before.

so yeah,if you feel like your manifestation isn't coming true maybe you just need to be specific about the timeline but worry not no matter what happens it will arrive anyway! but my advice is,it is better to be specific about everything because believe it or not sometimes manifestation comes in the most unexpected way....so it is better to be detailed about it.

Humans have been shit at processing our emotions since always. This isn't new! It's not about capitalism! Lots of mammals have similar emotional issues, they have simpler emotions but even less capacity to process them. Anyone who works closely with animals knows that they form emotional responses of all kinds, trauma responses, and anxieties, and part of being a responsible caretaker is to prevent the creation of negative emotions in the first place whenever possible. And when it's not possible, we help the animals work through negative emotional responses because it's not something they can generally do on their own.

It's also not about individualism! If anything, more collective identities tend to encourage subordination of personal feelings to group cohesion to the detriment of the individual. Sometimes group emotional processing can be helpful, but in more collectivist societies, you don't get to pick the group you're processing with. This frequently forces the individual to fit into a narrative that doesn't align with their own emotions. Grieving a parent is a classic - we still find something like "I'm glad my mom died" to be a shocking and provocative statement, because it disrupts conventional narratives about the family, but at least it can be said!

This stuff isn't about "capitalism and hyper individualism", and if anything, capitalism and hyper individualism have facilitated the whole field of psychology and therapy and self-actualization.
