Ok, so I said I would not check, but then I thought “damn, did I completely make up that “seek professional help” memory?
Turns out no, that is the case. The “outdated” is indeed recommended:
RICHARD: No, actualism is not a replacement for professional therapy – I advise all those in need of therapy to seek professional advice before embarking on the wide and wondrous path to an actual freedom from the human condition – and as you have demonstrated no understanding as to what is involved in the actualism method you can only be stabbing wildly in the dark once again.
First lines of the website:
It is possible to live in this modern era, freed from out-dated Philosophy and Psychiatry, challenging every Spiritual and Metaphysical tenet and surpassing any of the Altered States of Consciousness. Discarding all of the beliefs which have held humankind in thralldom for eons, the way has now been discovered which cuts through the ‘Tried and True’ and enables anybody to be, for the very first time, a fully free and autonomous individual, living in utter peace and tranquillity, beholden to no-one.
So, while it may seem like an attack Vineeto, just as it was normal for trolls back in the day: This is indeed where we are at.
You: diagnosing me, without a single credential (that I know of) and certainly without any time spent in actual consultation.
Me: pointing out that “freed” from, and “outdated” would certainly have been great, but here we are…
Fortunately, I know enough about myself that while probably somewhere on the sub-clinical spectrum of a Dependant Personality (who does indeed share traits with all the personality disorders in that we do have delusional beliefs about ourselves - that is all self diagnosed), I am not so far gone that your completely unwise attempt at diagnosis is of any danger to anyone.
You may want to rein that in though. It’s one thing to be communicating about actualism, it’s another to be proclaiming that people you have briefly met 9 years ago, and has otherwise been (and continue to be) respectful, have potentially extremely dangerous personality disorders.
I find it strange that you would “try that on”. I am not offended by it, but I wonder why you so easily “went there”?
I am of course unsettled, but I was already feeling that from the other day.
The goal, and I have never been very good at it, is indeed to be useful.
P.S: my statement that you would change the website to prove your point proved to be false, so that is great! Turns out there may be some mutual mis diagnosis going on after all.
