Quote:It's quite absurd how much people become transparent once you handle your internal turmoil.
It's almost like your innate bullshit detector has mud on its sensors at first; once you've given it a scrub, then you get more accurate readings of people.
You spot the paper tigers and can spot inner conviction in a person.
Interesting observation, I think that to start in general in society were told not to trust our intuition, not to trust ourselves and look to some 'authority' who likely never has our best interests at heart.
It makes sense that clearing out your own baggage then makes you more able to access it and trust yourself. And sometimes it takes being in a position where you learn to trust it, like doing security in a nightclub for me. I can just tell when someone is dodgy, which is an intuition that most people tend to have.. but it's refined more and i've learnt to trust it.
The 'paper tigers' are the people I see who talk big, like how tough they are, how many women they're banging and such straight out when they meet you and no relationship is established where you would share stories with each other, and it's just a fake way to get your approval and hoping you will think of them as tough/cool/whatever.
When really at a certain point when you see through it, it very much does the exact opposite and you can instantly see their lack of substance.
