    Well, I’m glad this moment led to some personal growth!

    Remember, making mistakes is okay as long as you 1, can admit being wrong and 2, learn from being wrong.

    And to be fair this “puzzle” is specifically designed to be confusing and have people jump to the “obvious conclusion” based on their perspective. To you it was the colour green vs red, to others it was the shape triangle vs quadrangle, and to a third group it would be the outline vs filled state. It’s actually not unlike some IQ test questions where the goal isn’t to see if you can find the “correct” answer (as there isn’t one!), but to see how you think.

      I mean, I do my best, normally, to actually admit and thus learn from mistakes.

      I’m of the age now where I’ve realized I’m probably not going to be able to change my seemingly fundamentally inexorable bullheadedness when I am, for whatever reason, very convicted about something.

      … So, that necessitates the self awareness to realize 1) that I am wrong 2) how I came to be wrong and 3) how I can try to avoid being wrong in the future.

      … currently, my conclusion remains the same: Do not attempt a logical argument when exhausted and very hungry.

      lol.

      … I’m doing much better than a year ago, PTSD is not fun, learning how to disengage from hypervigilance mode … is a skill, hooray for CBT.

        I’m gonna say the same to you I said to my GP when she tried to prescribe CBT for my ADHD diagnosis - I do not see how beating my balls to a pulp could be considered therapeutic.

          The trick is calming down, and seriously considering, as if you were an outside observer of yourself…

          why you like having a chasity cage clamped on you, what environment triggers cause you to desire dommy mommy stepping on them, and then realizing that, with awareness, you can choose to instead perhaps, jam a rod into your utethra.

          Its kind of a zen thing, sort of.

          (ahem, lol =P)
