We all do that. But we don't do it on the run.

Eh? Weren't you just bitching about stopping some petty conflict or other a few posts back? Make up your mind, you're confusing me.

you should listen to Ophrah more.
Quote:
The Shamer
This person can be hazardous to your health. The shamer may cut you off, put you down, reprimand you, or make fun of your or your ideas in front of others. He often ignores your boundaries and may try to convince you that his criticism is for you own good. The shamer is the kind of person who makes you question your own sanity before his.
Quote:
The Discounter
This is the person who discounts or challenges everything you say. Often, she has a strong need to be right and can find fault with any position. It can be exhausting to have a conversation with the discounter, so eventually you end up giving in and deciding to just listen.
Quote:
The Gossip
This person avoids intimacy by talking about other behind their backs. The gossip gets energy from relaying stories, opinions, and the latest "scoop." By gossiping about others, he creates a lack of safety in his relationships, whether he realizes it or not. After all, if he'll talk about someone else, he'll talk about you.

It's because you're addicted.  Maybe the Shroomery can set up a 12 step program for those of us who can't stop ourselves. Can you imagine that forum.

Did you know that a baby using his/her eyes changes neuronal topography?
Quote:
All activities, learning, experiencing pain, lack of sleep, thinking, and so on all change brain structure without using anything external.
Not all learning experiences change the brain the way that meditation can. You can look at two different brains with a fMRI and tell which one has been practicing meditation and which one has not. Using an EEG, you can observe a meditator control their own brainwaves. You cannot do this with a brain that has been practicing mathematics or studying history. There is nothing supernatural about this, but it sure is nifty.
