Because manifestation is just assumptions, which is the subconscious's function?

I'm very stingy with compliments because people can always use your compliment against you. I only sometimes compliment on things people change but never on physical features. I will never compliment someone's face or body structure. It puts you at a disadvantage because if you ever enter an argument, they can insult you but you can't say much back since they will always be able to bring up the compliment you gave them.

I feel like since there was less technology, an exceptionally attractive person was more of a fleeting sight rather than a daily reminder, if you ignore the magazines and TV. I also feel like it would be fun to dress up and style yourself to follow the trends without worrying about what you look like too much. Just finally having fun styling yourself for once. Full faces of makeup weren't that popular, facial enhancements weren't as advanced (?). The overall 70s-90s era seemed pretty fun to be alive during in general; roller skating rinks, being able to go outside and connect with others easily. Ngl even without social media I'd still be ugly tho

I recently just remembered this person I used to know who would joke with other non-Black people for being darker than her. Most Black people don't think colourism is hurtful, within the community jokes are made "out of love." I feel like it was kind of strange because this person was probably very close to getting those darkskin genes (was a fully Black person with Black features, just very lightskinned).

I think she was just using it as a gotcha because they would always say "I can't believe I'm Black but still lighter than you" to others, and always compare skin tones. I don't know why, but this person never really made these jokes to me or any other darkskinned Black women, only to darkskinned Black men and all genders of darkskinned non-Black people. It's probably because she knew darkskinned Black women would always have her back. But if she was making these jokes about non-black darkskins in the light, you can only imagine what she would be saying about other darkskinned Black women in the dark (no pun intended). I also think she was very insecure because she would always complain about not getting "lightskinned" hair (looser curly hair), when nobody in her family has that hair texture. Was a very draining person to be around, I always try to stay away from people who constantly talk about their appearance, good or bad. Has anyone else ever seen this happen or is this a rare occurance?

I've become more interested in Michael Jackson after watching the movie. I've read people's experiences of his legacy online, and some have said he was popular with women and teen girls (especially during Thriller and Bad). Do you think we will have another Black male pop star who is loved among all races of women and teenage girls? Especially since the expectations of masculinity for Black men have changed since the 70s, what style do you think the pop star would popularize?

I watched the Michael Jackson movie recently. Why does Michael Jackson's father use this description as an insult?

I'm not talking about Black people from other countries. If you are seeking within your country to date another Black person, do you care what ethnicity they are? Are there divisions between dating different black groups of the diaspora (African, Caribbean, American)?

Also, do you think it's offensive when people (especially non-Black people) complain about not wanting to get darker in front of Black people who are already darker skinned?

I've never disliked someone with absolutely nothing to back it up. I only dislike people who dislike me first or if they truly act like an unlikeable person with objectively bad qualities. I feel like there are different ways to describe things instead of going straight to hate. I always found it strange when people would say "you have to come to terms with the fact that not everyone is going to like you." While this is true, I find it weird if someone doesn't like me if I haven't done anything bad to them.

It's not even ignoring the 3D that I have trouble with. It's the fact that I have a limited time to manifest it. The time uncertainty is what gets me. I understand that manifesting works, and that the 3D reflection what I am dominantly thinking all the time. Am I just going to have to cope with the unseen? I'm sure it doesn't even take long, it's just the fact that I don't know when.

I already know people are gonna say "you shouldn't even be thinking of this if you're affirming so consistently," and that's true, but I suffer from a lot of anxiety receiving assignments failing after failing and getting low scores on everything. I just fear that I won't be able to graduate on time, or attend my dream school, or I'm going to be held back. My deadline is at the end of June. What makes it worse is, people keep torturing me by asking me what school I plan on attending, etc. They're just reflecting my old thoughts but it still scares me.

I also already know people are going to say "this post is just repeating old thoughts." This is also true. I went 2 weeks affirming without wavering but I got anxious that it would come after my time

I don't see the point in subliminals. When you listen to them, you still have to change your thoughts outside of the listening session. So you might as well do without them.

Having all Black features (dark skin, wider features, very curly hair) as a Black person means it is much rarer for you to qualify as even average. I have people in my family who are VERY lightskinned, and sometimes I get a bit annoyed that I was so close to having that. It's not even just being a darkskin, it's just having all Black features. I wouldn't mind being Darkskinned at all if I had thinner features.

Even if you're ugly, other Black people will say "at least you're light skinned." A lot of lightskins get a pass with being ugly within the Black community and I will not mention any examples for the risk of being flamed (I will mention a female influencer/tv personality who goes by the name of Ari)..... I have also read tons of posts from people who say things like "this person would be considered ugly if they were a darkskin." Most of the time, you are only considered pretty with African features if you are as light and loose-haired as certain celebrities.

Even if I still didn't inherit light skin, I wouldn't mind at least having ONE feature that isn't strictly black (looser hair, thinner features).

I've quit most social media and especially this sub but I just wanted to post this
