While I understand your point, I think it is important to recognize that striving to reach one’s full potential is a deeply personal and subjective journey. It does not always lead to unambiguous results, and the journey itself can be full of uncertainties. Nevertheless, the process of striving and pushing yourself can often lead to growth, self-discovery and meaningful achievement. Computer games also develop well, and if the game is for money, the brain works even better, but it is not always necessary to start with your money, here for example there is Rokubet no deposit bonus https://casinosanalyzer.com/casino-bonuses/rokubet.com and you can play for now without your investment. It sounds like you have encountered people who may have lavished both complimentary and non-complimentary praise on others. Understandably, you may question the motives and sincerity of such statements, especially if they are made ambiguously or evasively. However, it is worth bearing in mind that perceptions can vary widely, and what may seem like a left-wing insult to some may be sincere praise to others.

Or move him to his own thread.
Dear Mr. Hallmark. You have spent way too much time reading greeting cards in supermarkets. This has resulted in substituting verbosity for substance in your ability to communicate effectively with others.
What is the pursuit of one’s potential? I could potentially be a mass murderer, should I pursue it? I could be the best Christian I could possibly be, and start my own cult? I might be the one child molester who never gets caught. When you say I should achieve my full potential, to what are you referencing? (Yes, deeply personal. I love the way that rolls off your lips.)
What the fuck use was this sentence and why bother using the $3 words when you could have asked, “Do people give you praise?” or “Have you been getting positive feedback.” Of course people question ambiguous statements, that’s what I am doing with the crap you wrote. And as for left handed insults, … Your so cute!
Welcome to the site. Have you thought of thinking through what you want to say and being a bit more specific? I would suggest starting your own thread. Cheers mate!

I get your points and–while I mostly agree with you–I don’t automatically believe that having a subtle, or hidden agenda immediately disqualifies an argument. Sometimes, a hidden agenda can actually be a good thing.
As an example of what I mean, please consider gay marriage for a moment.
The religious right tried to come up with all kinds of arguments, such as that a child is best served by a mother and father, that there would be harm to society by modifying a traditional value, etc…
We all know that religion was ultimately behind these objections, but just because we don’t approve of the motive means that we automatically discard their arguments without consideration.
Just so you know, I am in favor of same-sex marriage, and I think that society will be better for it . . . but if I have the courage of my convictions, then listening and evaluating their secular arguments against gay marriage won’t hurt me.
And it’s even possible that such a dialogue might even reveal weaknesses in my own position, and for this I should be grateful.

I love parrots, but I’m not in a situation where I can have one.
I dated a girl who had a hyacinth macaw, and this animal was very gentle, and extremely intelligent.
It could ride a skateboard, it could fetch specific toys, and it would harass the dog by deliberately dropping things on her head.
As intelligent as this bird was, however, it never seemed to talk.
which is a true sign of is intelligence if what I hear and see most days is what you mean by “talk”
