Sometimes, when we feel shitty, it's not even our shit.
We're processing the collective's shit.
So don't hold on to that shit; it's not our shit, and it stinks anyway.
And when it looks like someone's feeling shitty; support them by getting out of the way when they are expressing that shit (in whichever way it comes out), don't get in the way, bc then we might think it was thrown at us, and it wasn't--we just stood in the way like fools, and sometimes we even pick it up and throw it back.
Then it gets way too shitty up in here with everyone throwing shit everywhere, which really stinks and boy does it require a heck of a clean-up.
Avoid the mess completely--just give the shit spewer space; when we're done expressing the collective shit, it's not there anymore.
So when we don't see shit, we know it's okay to engage with that "other" person, whoever that may be.
Don't take shit personally--it's like picking it up, rubbing it all over ourselves, and then complaining that we stink and that it's someone else's fault; when really, it's only our own doing, and now everyone else has to smell us too, plus listen to our moans. Eventually, people wander off, because there are nicer smelling and sounding flowers to interact with instead.

There are many of us, really. J.R. "Bob" Dobbs and Connie Dobbs both live within us, in a tenuous balance.
Some are more "Bob"; some are more Connie. There are female "Bob(s)", and male Connie(s).
Can you perceive the possibility of/have faith in many different (usually contradicting) ideas/systems, yet not take them siriusly whatsoever? You may be more of a Con.
Do you believe in nothing, question everything, but take EVERYthing VERY siriusly? Then you may be more of a "Bob."
The key is to balance the two within ourselves.
