"So I wanted to know what you think about going into debt to scale the business. The company that finances the equipment at 0% for 48 months is known for having glitches and people get slapped with the interest payments all at once for a faulty missed payment. I could pay up front and if the business fails, I could sell the equipment since I'm already getting it at a discount."

"This guy had a problem with his life in that he had two moms and three kids, wasn't married, had broken up at the last, so he'd messed up his marriages. So rather than say, 'gee, what have I done wrong in terms of my marriages and relationships?' He says, 'well, you know, clearly evolution has programmed us to find new partners every seven years, right?'"

"For nine years, you've known that you can have a completely free call-in, takes two hours of your life, with somebody who's really, really good at untangling these kinds of patterns, right?"

"Sure."

"Why haven't you? And just out of curiosity, it's not a big attack, I'm just genuinely curious."

"I was afraid. I was afraid of encountering it, of really being vulnerable, of not feeling worthy to call in and talk about my needs."

Hi Stef! How does one handle the scenario where parents (divorced) refuse to even acknowledge the abusive (yelling, threats, insults, beatings, etc.) things they've done while raising me and my brother? Whenever I bring up the subject or a specific episode they follow this process: "I never did that!" -> "Oh you're remembering it wrong" -> "It only happened once, don't be a baby." -> "You must've done something" and on and on.


Why do they want women to be weak and disempowered?


Why is it so common for women to have sex on the same day as meeting a man and then acting baffled that they ghosted? It's such a common thing whenever the topic of dating comes up.


Refuge in video games has been something I've been doing since I was a very young kid. What steps would you recommend Stef to break free from this? I hardly even like playing them a lot of the time.


Why can't I tell people "No."


Hi Stef, how do we gain knowledge about the causes of human evil if nothing is causal and free will is the answer?

"how do I deal with inlaws who try to manipulate my children?"

Hey Stef what's with adults who want to endulge at the expense of the children? Growing up the adults would have loud family parties well past midnight with lots of alcohol around children of all ages.

Q for Stef:
When I find myself roleplaying with myself, I'll still find myself saying "I don't know" and although my inner Stef says "yes you do" I still find myself fogging out until I finally end the internal conversation, what tips do you have for this cycle of emotionally disconnecting during these roleplays/figuring out if I really "don't know"?

The girl who sold her bath water estimates of up to a net worth of £4.000.000.00 at age.24. Messed up life.

Did you remain heartbroken over your relationship with your parents or did you eventually ‘get over it’?

I think it's hard for people who have good relationships with their parents to imagine what it's like for others who don't.

On this topic, doenst the avoidance of the categories try to eliminate one of our skills as humans to group things together as a way to think faster. Basically with out any sort of labels arent we making thinking harder?

Because it was dysfunctional, so you were robbed of having a good relationship with them. Didn’t that cause you a great deal of emotional pain? It causes me pain and I’ve been trying to figure out how to deal with that my whole life.

But you would expect to not have a good relationship with a cell mate. With a parent you assume it should be good. Having good parents is important isn’t it?

Was it easier for you to dismiss it since your mom was violent and your dad was not there....what would you say to people who it wasnt so cut and dry?


I’m asking because lately I’ve felt sad all over again about my own relationship with my parents. I want to know if you’re still in pain or if you overcame it.


my sadness came from not having my mother when I gave birth because we put them where they belong which is not in the picture. so you give birth and there is no mother to comfort you and help you after . Its just you and your husband. As my husband said " Be glad our family is not here because they would make the situation horrible". He was right but the sadness of not having what other people have was still there. Not for my parents but for what should of been.


Stef, could you please do a philosophical definition of sentimentality?


Stef how did you protect yourslf againts your mom inflicting sentinmentally narratives on you?


When I was 10, I came home from seeing my mother, went up to my room, and cried hard, saying, "I have no mother." It was brutal... but now? That's almost 35 years ago! If I do get sentimental ever, it's like... really? Nah. We already grieved. That's just her shadow in your mind now.

i think this comes up since I told myself stories of us being such a great family....also I bought into the extended families narrative...

"What's your thoughts about Christian obsession with forgiveness? I'm a Christian myself and I do struggle with this concept. Having an adverse childhood experience score of 9, I've experienced real evil and forgiveness feels wrong. Christians that I know say that forgiveness is strength, but I think to myself, if I was the devil, wouldn't I want to convince everyone to focus on forgiveness instead of fighting evil? Something is not connecting for me, and I would love to hear your opinion."
