#self-actualization
I don't wanna pursue self-actualization just to make my friends or family happy, I wanna do it because I want to be happy

And I'm sick of sitting around doing nothing to get there, just waiting for a miracle to happen

I looked up to so many peers for having agency in their lives; now, it's my turn

Indeed, it really feels like your inner self is becoming your outer self. Self actualization. Congrats and best of luck going forward.

Some real hierarchy of needs stuff here, man. Self-actualization is good actually!

The more distortions we have the less attention we can pay to realizing our potential and self- actualization of our personality

100%! I can attest to this. It’s been a long uphill battle. I’ve had to fight to maintain and continue cultivating my sense of wonder, whimsy, and joy. It’s all about finding and holding onto those glimmers. The self-actualization part is also very true.

the key to life is to become my own sugar daddy. this is the path my self-actualization will follow

Give Alfredo (Remy's man-puppet) a SELF ACTUALIZATION arc--he'll NEVER cook like Remy *BUT* maybe he can MASTER this ONE DISH for the LOVE OF HIS LIFE and mother of his yet-to-be born children--that gives our heist-flick a *human* AND *romantic* garnish 😏...

*nudges you*
"Huh??? Huh??? RIGHT!!!"

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.

An SEC school is no place for a woman trying to achieve self-actualization

Agree. Childhood/home family environment experiences and imprints have such impact on self actualization and how, or if, we experience and express joy

Insights are everything. They play central parts in the actualization of destiny. A dangerous insights becomes a colossal executioner. Latching your fate with noble thoughts spares you a life of self-limitation.

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

I haven't seen this term yet but damn if people will not try to weaponize and oversimplify every single word used for therapy and/or self-actualization, good lord.

I think "spiritually fulfilling" isn't helpful. I instead think about a society that maximizes self actualization so people can discover who they are and who can contribute back to society.

she is! And if my *minor* meltdown helped her reach some kind of self-actualization, then it was all worth it

Have you tried years of therapy, personal growth and self-actualization about it?

with Hegel, the only way of actually finding joy is reconciling the "way of the world" with one's own existence; thus, enjoyment is a result of self-actualization beyond abstract virtue. here's where/how enjoyment/pleasure as the purchase of "noble individuality" passes from battle into board room.

At a “not-a-cult” retreat, a girl with a secret past discovers self-actualization can be murder. Self-Help (2025) is Halloween-ready horror from Erik & Carson Bloomquist. Sharp, strange, and never what it seems. Read my review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/self-...

jumping on to this, but this is why his attempts at Esteem & Self-actualization don’t work. he keeps trying to reach those things but can’t (& gets cringey about it) & is let down every time because his base needs aren’t being met
This exactly. His reasons for living are the lowest level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs

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.

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.

I already tossed it. He wore it all the time and I'm sure they were like on some self actualization self help kick where they felt they had to do this.
With absolutely no respect for how it made me feel.
Didn't even apologize for our last fight which is why I havnt talked to them in several years.

Mamdani is going to impose Shania law, where bare midriffs and overproduced hits about independence and self-actualization will confuse and frustrate feminists and chauvanists alike.
mamdani is gonna implement shandalar law. if you want to add new cards to your deck, you have to wander the map and look for random wizard duels
Mamdani gonna implement Shaaloani law. All disputes settled via shootout duels using non-lethal rounds with all the authenticity of a spaghetti western directed by Japanese anime enthusiasts.

(This is a timely Final Fantasy XIV reference)
