Why is it we can have so many threads directly about the Law of Attraction?
But when you try to start a separate thread so you are not interfering with their 'positive vibes' then your thread is then merged which of course will only cause new conflict since there is two sides to this issue?
Discuss.

Re: Why is it we can have so many threads directly about the Law of Attraction?
I can not get over the censoring on this forum. I know that at some point in Stripperweb that questioning or judging a mod somehow became something that was against the rules.
That being said.......I officially and publicly make the statement that it is my personal opinion that merging that thread was a bad call.
I've had several camgirls express to me in PM that they feel bulled by people who push the Law of Attraction down other people's throats here. I speak out not because I have a need to be right but because I am speaking for people who are to afraid to speak up for themselves.
I have been insulted, attacked, had private information released publicly and have been made fun of in other threads and the mods don't do anything but yet I start a thread that expresses a difference of opinion and moments after I make it then it is moved?
You know what? Fuck this, I am out of here for the day and off to make money. I really am going to have to take the time and reflect whether what I give into this community compared to what I get back from it.

Re: Why is it we can have so many threads directly about the Law of Attraction?
why not just work and be positive instead of posting subtly passive aggressive threads on the subject? There's money to be made if you focus on making it instead of duking it out on SW about obscure and silly little details in peoples' arguments.

Why do you feel the need to comment? You'd be wise to take your own advice, don't you think?

Re: Why is it we can have so many threads directly about the Law of Attraction?
I'm not working right now... I work nights. I go on cam positive and happy even if I don't feel that way in my personal life and the lowest that I make is still pretty high. I never complain on this site and very rarely call people out on ANYTHING but after reading a number of threads recently I kinda couldn't help myself when I saw this come up.
I think that you really need to just chill on the subject and either learn to put on a positive camming face or just stop camming or just stop with these posts.

Re: Why is it we can have so many threads directly about the Law of Attraction?
Alright, usually I try to stay quiet when it comes to law of attraction stuff and let other's handle it who I feel express my viewpoint in a way better than I can, especially right now as I'm dealing with health issues which make it difficult for me to express myself.
Sadie, I have no problem that you put stock in positivity and that is your prerogative. However, it is not passive aggressive to discuss the downside to the concept of 'always be positive' and how it is callous and rude it can be to say all your lives problem's will be better if you put on a happy face. I'm not saying that I am not in control of my own income or anything along those lines. I am very aware of that I am responsible if I make money or not, no other person is. My money is no one's business but my own and vice versa. However, I think it is fair to talk about realism and realistic expectations for oneself rather than fake it until you make it. I can sit here and try my hardest and be positive, but saying that is all that needs to be done to fix my problems is insanity. One needs to focus on what is happening around them and actually tackle the problems at hand, otherwise, no matter how positive I am, I will be in a shitty place in life and still filled with my health problems. No matter how happy and positive I am, it doesn't mean I'm not losing my hair on my scalp and eyebrows, sleeping 10-15 hours a day, and feeling like death. It makes it difficult to cam or live life at all normally. I have been working with doctors about my health problems before I started camming.
I'm not going to stop camming because of this and I think it's fine to say 'oh hey, I suck today because of how I feel' and i shouldn't be looked down upon because I want to say that or because I can't put in extra hours because my health will suffer. I still try different schedules, hustles, sites and passive income streams to try to make up for it.
It is cruel to say that we can't express ourselves without being told to get over it and deal with it and "be positive and it will all be better', even if we are taking responsibility for our actions. I may not be make as much money as others, and I'm okay with that because I am realistic in my expectations. However, being told to be positive above all else makes me want to punch someone in the face. Positivity can't magically make my health problems go away, and often times, being told that when you are depressed can make it worse. If it bothers you to read about it, why not fucking avoid the threads on it like I try to with LoA since the topic makes me insanely angry. It's generally not worth it to get worked up when I have better shit to do, and I know I will be bullied, ignored, or have someone say I'd do better if I were just positive. Maybe I could be more positive if I've had the same starting point as most of the other girls on here health wise

Re: Why is it we can have so many threads directly about the Law of Attraction?
I'm saying that it's a passive aggressive thread because it's an obvious continuation of drama that occurred in another thread.
If you don't agree with stuff then that's fine but starting a thread after literally DAYS of arguing over semantics and the most pedantic arguments that I have ever seen to draw out these points that are just... holy shit.

Re: Why is it we can have so many threads directly about the Law of Attraction?
We should be able to have two threads though on the topic. One where all the girls who believe in LoA can post whatever positivity based things in the world, and another for those who favor a more realism based approach so we can avoid the drama by keeping them separate, similar to the 'camming sucks' and 'camming rocks' threads, so that those who want to avoid them can do so easily. I avoided postiing in the other thread because I wanted to avoid the drama even though I have strong opinions on the subject.

ok. I'll stay in the other thread where we all seem to be making $$$.

Re: Why is it we can have so many threads directly about the Law of Attraction?
I can't really answer your question JAC, but I will have to agree with RaeRae and say that there's a difference between realistic expectations and the Laws of Attraction. I believe in both, so where does that leave me? In the middle. I know that there are models who follow the rules. They wake up every day, put on their make up, pretty face, smile like the kool-aid man himself and still don't always make their goals. When you're facing unpaid bills, an eviction, and having all your shit shut off, what did smiling do for you that month? I believe in the Secret, moreso because I'm a go-getter and I believe in making shit happen because I want it to and can visualize it. However, sometimes life is a bitch and camming isn't for everyone. Sometimes, you have to help yourself and make money elsewhere.
To sit there and say "just smile bb, it will all be better" isn't realistic to me. Of course, finding ways that are is the way to go. I've seen plenty of girls come here saying they couldn't make it camming, they have bills, what should they do? Not one responder said "just smile" they said get a 2nd job, sell photos, videos, speak to your landlord etc. they were being realistic which is all I ask. There are some days where smiling on cam just won't work for everyone so then you have to accept that sometimes that just won't cut it.

Re: Why is it we can have so many threads directly about the Law of Attraction?
I would argue that threads about the LoA don't belong in Camming Connection at all but rather in the lounge or hustle hut. I know CC tends to get off topic with threads about clips and such I don't know why that happens as there are valuable clip threads in Industry Insight and Other Work. I think CC gets a little too insular sometimes. These LoA discussions while applicable to camming aren't related in such a way that they need to be in this section. Additionally if they were elsewhere, there would be wider variety of opinions given, again my point about insularity.
I will also point out that I am on other boards that deal with PSO's camgirls etc. SW beats them all for the drama, something to think about.

Re: Why is it we can have so many threads directly about the Law of Attraction?
I always say that I accept and respect everyones opinion. I think the whole thing went wrong when people actually tried to convince each other that they r right and couldnt accept that we r all different. Different backgrounds, religions, point of views etc etc etc. It should have been a healthy deabate instead it went wrong:(
Everyone have their own truth.
It supposed to be about helping others with sharing experience and opinions. And talking about realism. I ve had to face my flaws, to be able to move on. I ve been trough hell noone was there to reach his or her hand for me. I did it on my own, and I know that there are many others who are also alone, and who has no help with their demons, troubles problems. Why cant I share my experiences. Maybe someone can learn from it and maybe my story could lead her to a happier life?
We r human for Christs sake, we have ups and downs. And yes it s damn hard to find anything positive in it. And I would never make someone believe in something i believe in. What happened to me is really hard to explain. So its the easiest to describe with the Law of attraction.
If anyone was hurt with that I am really sorry but I m always careful when i try to say something especially becasue im not here to hurt or offend others im here to help.

And if you can't see from that statement just how callous and rude you are, you must be oblivious. Guess what? I make money and I'm happy with what I make most of the time. When I'm not happy with it, I change up what I'm doing or ask someone for help to point out things where I can improve. You can be making money while still talking about realistic expectations or other view points aside from LoA.

Hallelujah. That is all I ask. I have no problem with saying positivity will get you farther in life than always being negative because negativity can cause you to be in your own way and make things worse. However, things must be tempered with realistic approaches because being positive won't solve anything on its own.

If people want to believe LoA is true, I have no problem with it. I just want to be able to express my opinions and thoughts as well without feeling bulled, which I never have felt that way by you. I'm all for talking about things and debating them, it's when we try to force them down each other's throat of 'feel exactly like me or I'll treat you like you are a lesser person' that it becomes a problem for me.

I dont and wont tolerate bullying and thank you:)
I hate when we argue on sw:( Whenever I post Im trying to post about things that can be helpful. What happend to me for me it seems unrealistic, because i simply got used to being sad and struggling. MAybe because I started to see myself in a more realistic way thats why I started to be better? These are quite theoratical questions which can be hard to answer.

Re: Why is it we can have so many threads directly about the Law of Attraction?
I find it interesting that they believe that we, those who don't necessarily believe that positivity makes or breaks your earnings, doesn't make any money. Do I need to post my bank statements? Her attitude isn't very positive at all so she can stay in that forum and fake it until she makes it. I've never seen so many "positive" friendly people get so negative over what others believe.

Im sorry its a weird thing with me. My mom raised me in a not very usual way so i have an urge to say Im sorry and sometimes okay all the time i feel like when I try to do something that I actually do something wrong instead of good so thats why I apologize a lot. I know I need to forget about it a get rid of it because its a crazy habit. And thank you.

Eph, I was speaking about sadie and others in the last forum. I just didn't feel the need to quote her random post is all. To suggest that her and her pack are the only ones making money is ridiculous. You're amazing bb!

Re: Why is it we can have so many threads directly about the Law of Attraction?
I swear, if sw was a personal ad it would read "I enjoy enlightening sex positive conversation, long walks on the beach and fighting with strangers on the internet".
There's already one thread about this topic, having two seperate threads discussing two different sides of an issue doesn't shed much light, and it's unrealistic to think people on each 'side' will stay on their own threads. Why carry a debate into a new thread when one already exists? The same people who post in one thread will post in the other, that's what forums are about.

^^^^^completely agreed. since the OP of the merged thread is a copy of a post in the original thread I felt that was the best place for it. There's already a thread about the LoA in Hustle Hut otherwise I would have sent it there (plus I didn't want to dump a mess into another mod's lap)
why anyone is still fighting about this stuff is seriously beyond me. There's some wicked posts in each thread (on both sides, I personally think the LoA is bull but there are compelling points made by pro-LoA'ers) and I don't want to detract from those, but the rest of the noise is just...wtf?
I'm out, peace and $$$$ y'all

Re: Why is it we can have so many threads directly about the Law of Attraction?
JAC- if you spent half the time on cam that you did on SW, you would have more money then you would know what to do with.
