Do you have a mentor?

This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by Aju on Tuesday, July 18, 2017 and has 28 replies.
Who is he/she?
Someone you can say anything with?


in your darkest most challenging times?
And If You have no one?


What do you do for help?
I have a therapist who probably wants to blow my brains out ??

I also go to my Taurus bff, but that's just what friends are for.
Not my mentor...but someone I can share anything n they'd just understand be what might..though I'm not vocal or expressive about things..My bff n my younger sister. They just always "get it".They say I'm their mentor but they're my strength.



And my true mentor is my Mom... though she never tried to be one❤️


My Dad n elder sister are ALWAYS there when I need them.


So blessed to have them all(*touchwood)


I sure can do without them. I know it for a fact. But who'd not want all that love. They're the best!
Don't think I have mentor.


Usually i turn into my Nakama .
The random messages I get from the universe. It normally occurs during deep thought while under the influence of light drugs, and gives me a pure understanding of something. These things could be anything from the meaning of life, existance, human culture, and much more. This deep knowledge is sometimes so pure for my mortal mind to see it breaks my soul down into tears. Not out of sadness, but of understanding.
Someone who I met recently. This person might not like me anymore but I've gotten closer to figuring out my own shortcomings and gotten the closest to ever solving them. The other people in my life have either left, came too early, or wanted me to fulfill their own whims and ignore my needs. This one just wants me to change.
well, myself, i really like myself. lol and well, my mother and grandmothers and my aunties they are very good women, i'm really proud to be part of their family and life, even when some of them already passed away. i feel that i'm part of them, and maybe that's because of genetics, (genetics because i feel them, as a mother feels about their child, or their loved ones) but i'm really really happy because they shaped my world too.

Not a lot of good male role models these days.
i know there isn't. i've noticed that.


i like that there are men out there who are doing a good job being an awesome role model for young men out there.

You talking mentors or confidants?
hmm

Well you know what, maybe both...


Who is someone you can confide to and learn from...

@Aju - How about yourself? Who has filled that role in your life?
thank you so much, m200991

She will always be there for

you, m200991. Always guiding you...



For me...


Very few...Very Very Few because...


I can't just have someone that gives advice...


but also someone that is loving and non judgmental. I don't feel

like I'm being looked down on by them. There's a friend in Europe

who is this way to me and I'm so so grateful. It's like a breath of fresh air


and it helps me to not feel so alone when I have those real down moments.

Least judgemental dude I know.. Big Grin
I am curios...How is his vocabulary?

You don't want to hear any advices do you? Just woof woof...
That was the dumbest response I have ever seen.. Clearly you've never had pets.

Confidant = someone you confide in not someone you seek advice from you twat.


I even took it a step further and gave you the definition of a confidant, which is what I specifically said he was..


"a person with whom one shares a secret or private matter, trusting them not to repeat it to others."


Well my dog sure ain't gonna repeat shit..

And honestly.. his vocabulary is likely better than yours..

I've had pets my whole life until 2 years ago when my Afghan Hound died T age of 14.

Never in my life I had felt like confining in my dog and tell her my troubles.

Maybe I am just..:sane after all?


And to me confining is a way of communications. Otherwise you can confine to the poll! Or the wall...

Why torturing an innocent animal?

I bet he was like 'oh...shit!...there comes depressing one...to hurt my ears...'

?

You took it too literally.. It's not like I unload all my problems on my dog.. he doesn't even understand.

He's just good comfort.. ffs -_-


And you're not sane, don't even start telling yourself that.

Some describe God as an entity capable of unconditional love - and to some extent - a dog might fit that description as well. A God that shits and needs some taken care of - though, also easier to get in touch with... (:

Most people talk to their dogs.. You may have had pets your whole life but you were likely too busy getting your hole stuffed to have any compassion to build a relationship with them.


I know I am not sane.. and at least I can admit that.. but talking to my dog is the least of my worries in regard to sanity.. LOL

Ok think I had no compassion.

I don't care. I just lmao thinking of telling my dog 'I've lost my job you know...and my bills are due soon...'

And dog says '. '.
Posted by blackphase
I'd have to be a heartless bitch to not talk to my dog... Look at that fkn face!! ❤️
I always 'dog talked' to mine like 'who is a

Pretty girl? Etc.' but never 'my bills are due and my partner is not helping to pay...and my faucet is leaking...'

???
The whole world is my mentor... both inner and outer...
