Gonna hit the gym then be back here. - Double down on this realization - protect your time Sid. The meeting with RIT folks yesterday took disoriented my 2 productive hours. I gave them 1 hour of meeting time + 30 mins pre and post recovery. They got what they wanted. I got just distraction. AND this learning. So I would take this learning and apply. Protect your time from people. Best way - monetize it. - This is how I felt post meeting yesterday - Block Reference - --- - ### 9 AM #log🪵/ShutterUp🔓 - 🟪 *9:15 - 11:15 AM*: **2H** Misc Time - 11:30 AM 🛏 😴 #powernap20😴 - 12:30 PM 🌟 💪 P/12 Week Lean Muscle 2024 W2D4 Shoulder & Calves. #fuckyeah #power - Lunch - 🟩 *2 - 6 PM*: **3H** Focus Time - 2:45 - 3:35 ok- so @anil sharma called. there goes the afternoon hour :(, I know, I extended it, I could have dropped. I called @jeff d. Now lol, it just funny how he and his psychotic wife talk. -  - What bothers me about Jeff and his wife's behavior so much? A self inquiry into desi disrespect collapsed:: true - The frame. He holds the frame, pretty strong. May not be the case in real life, maybe it would be, I don't know. But it's quite dominating, and 0 acknowledgement of other people subtle thoughts and feelings. Jeff seems to force a reality. Bhagshree, is always comes across as passive aggresive, taunting, putting one down. It's weird. I can't tell how much of this is India, and how is just them. - I would 50% Indian cultural thing. For I have sene this with @Nehal Khosla, man, did that comment trigger me 'Shivaji Ban', and today that bitch sad - 'marathi se shaadi kiya', she marathi herself. What's the point? Funny how many women have can't control their tongue on me and my partner - they have to have an opinion. Anil's wife did that same - 'don't feel bad, woh itni sundar nahi hai'. So weird. For do they think they are better? Is a secret jealousy? lol, I don't know. But there is something there. - Anyway, back to Jeff. I can't point my finger at the issue. Let's break say, say, I feel scared. Do I? Maybe pov if I get into fight, the posture and body language is aggresive. It doesn't scare me as much as I find is distasteful. Hmm. Ok so why is it so bad? there are many distasteful convo I have had. The blindness. They don't recognize who I am. Hmm. Is that a status thing? Is that cognitive dissonance because I expect to be trated with higher status? But I don't get any respect. Respect. Hmmm. **That's the word. Respect.** **They speak very disrespectfully.** That's it. Yes. #sigh - And I find it jarring. For I don't want to respond to disrespect. There we go. It's the language. **Jeff holds the frame because he can speak in that disrespectful, nonchalant, presumptuous, and impertinent manner** This is what bothers me. For I let this happen to me. I let them disrespect me. I give shit back. I jump into the gutter. I try and balance out, but I come out ugly and stinking. - It's time for feedback. It's to watch the words and language carefully when spoken to me. Don't answer gutter calls. Give them an opportunity to get up and meet you, where you are. If not, I know I will do the right thing. #Let's Find Out - Anything else? - Do I respect people? I could see how back in time I could be ignorant. I often been disrespectful of time and space. See @Simon Vuong for example, what I called friendship was disrespect for him. So then, what's the line between intimacy and disespect? #hmm - Maybe it's not as much of a disrespect, as I think it is. A cultural mismatch. I am more #american then I have realized. - Professional and formal relationships works better for me now, for they start and are built upon mutual respect. - I know I like to get intimate, I like deep friendship. I have broken boundaries with people, see @Ercan Ozer and @matt alioto - it was difficult, and I know at times I must have angered Matt, @Simon Vuong for sure. I know I tread carefully now. For Indians it the default. Formal relationshops are for foreigners. I know, I remember, finding formal greetings and respect shallow. Hmm. Man. This is tough one. For I am still ear raised when I sense disrespect. It comes close to be being bullied. - My brother has made that mistake, but I know he apologized. So interesting. - So why Jeff and Bhagshree crossign this line with me? Why do I expect a little formility> In fact, I crave it. Liek could we not start with -"hey.. how are you?".. "how's life?", "hows life after marriage?'... I guess that's the #smalltalk. It's totally missing. If they speak formally it will be dull, banal, and lead to dead end. Small talk opens conversation not the end of it. Hmm. - What can I do? Well, let's be aware to begin with. And make the #boundaries clear. Snap, bit, and reprimand, for if one crosses the boundary to my discomfort. Watch the language. The language of disrespect is crossing of that boundary. Yes. I shall #watch - I like the way co-founder @Ercan Ozer speaks with me, the way my team speaks with me, maybe I can be better and more respectful, yes. I shall practice this from here on. I will give the universe what I want. Kicking of daily practice/respect. I shall not disrespect people. Practice Respect Actively. - #aisummary - The text is a diary entry in which the writer, Sid, **reflects on his recent phone call with his old friends Anil and Jeff from Mumbai**. Sid is bothered by the disrespectful and presumptuous way in which Jeff and his wife, Bhagshree, speak to him. He **attributes this behavior in part to Indian culture**, but also believes they are being personally disrespectful. Sid **struggles with the line between intimacy and disrespect** in friendships and feels that he has previously crossed boundaries in his own relationships. He resolves to be more mindful of his own language and to **actively practice respect** in all his interactions moving forward. -  - - 🟪 *4 - 6:30 PM*: **2.5H** - ### 6:30 PM #log🪵/ShutterDown🔐 - ## 9:30 PM Lights Off - Dinner and chill with boo.
