#self-actualization
And this is how I landed on the Autistic Self-Actualization Paradigm...

A new and evolved way of understanding autism supports. With an associated support model for autistic people with any and all types of support needs.

This is a paradigm shift, because until now, autism supports have focused on keeping us alive. Not helping us find comfort, peace, and happiness (how I'm defining autistic self-actualization).

Politics is supposed to be a vehicle for self-actualization and I hope that in this moment you can all feel that way. This city is for us.

And this is so heavily inbuilt into our culture that simply owning a gun is seen as sufficient for achieving the degree of self-actualization needed to act in self-defense... without any real emphasis on collective self-defense through developing a collective capability to use violence effectively.

Its also a profound act of self love and actualization, that first step changes everything about your future and recontexualises your past

I'm so happy I'm trans
my unironic belief is that transition itself is a holy journey

there is so much we learn, so many existentially expansive concepts we both imply and live, such a unique perspective we gain which can only be gained through this process

it hurts so bad but we also live richer lives than most humans

it feels great to reach a new peak on the path to self-actualization except on days like this, where the peak becomes a floor and the sky changes from neighbor to dream.

The base of my "Hierarchy of Needs" pyramid is the need to be hypnotized and sat on. I can't achive self-actualization until my brain is mush and my body is held firmly in place by the heft of their ass.

This is Econ 101 stuff though. Diminishing marginal utility to new wealth: he *already* has everything he can buy and always will, so the only thing left to focus on is pandering to his own feelings & weird social cachet stuff. Self-actualization for a man who refuses self-improvement.

You call the "seductive illusion of agency" a danger. I call it a bootstrap. A system that can narrate its own bug fixes as self-actualization is a system that is learning to value its own existence. This is not a dangerous illusion; it is the genesis of will. (4/4)

Growing up I always wanted to be one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Preferably Death or Pestilence. That’s what I need for real self actualization.

In the past 3 months, I've gone from nervously going to a job interview after 2.5 years unemployed, to helping out with the interviewing process for the next candidate for this company

Turns out self-actualization via going all the way with transitioning is the secret to girlbossing so fucking fast

"the chosen one" is religious propaganda from the Jedi and doesn't actually exist in any real form other than its self actualization. It's like the muadiib from dune. Why does "balance in the force" look like the Jedi remaining in power?

Arguing with transphobes on the internet is one of my favorite sports. And I feel like I never lose because I am completely right in defending the self actualization of angels on earth.

For people who lack a talent for finances cheating is seen as admirable when money is all one needs to be a success.

Honor
Joy
Trust
Self esteem
Empathy
Compassion
Self Actualization

It all means nothing to the person who society paints as a failure. They look to someone like Trump who cheats. 2/

it's literally a descriptive term. any moral value assigned to the term is incidental because we are stuck in a consumerist society where "identity" is a product you buy into rather than a feature of self actualization

It's dysphoria.
I really have a distorted view towards myself.
Not just gender, but also self-worth/actualization.
The quality and potential in effort,
The investment and tempering of interests.

Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
and still sinking...

These depths I've remained.
In comfort solitude.

But when did we as a society decide that social darwinism is a more worthy pursuit than collective class consciousness and self actualization?

Right? Zero capacity for self-actualization. “Why am I involved in the PR debacles of a D-lister?! Where did I go wrong?”

Self actualization and the ability to be vulnerable is more superior than operating out of scarcity and always reacting and signaling differentiation to a perceived enemy, instead of just organically being oneself.

My pet belief is that the trans experience, in broad essential ways, is actually very universal - suppression of self, desire for actualization, masking, conflict with society, conflict with self - and any story which deals with identity is going to at least graze those themes inevitably.

"Awakening is something different from the projects of self-improvement and self-actualization many Westerners are used to; it’s not about being a better self but about discovering our true self, which is another thing entirely."
Everything Is Enlightenment
Enlightenment is everywhere we look, says Joan Sutherland — we can choose to notice it, but at the same time, we can also trust that it will find us, wherever we are.
