Creating a Shield

[AnthroHeart]

My meaning is in the context of self-empowerment. Someone who smiles at all their other-selves, someone who makes all feel welcomed in their presence, someone who loves and accepts ALL their other-selves exactly the way they are. Someone like that is IMHO very much walking the STO path. Never offering to help, because the other self is seen as perfect already and do not need help. Never offering an opinion, because the other self didn't ask for one and already contains everything it needs within its self.

What I'm saying is that this someone could also be seen as very self-centered by other-selves.

That's definitely a challenge because of how others-oriented I think about becoming. I tend to think STO is exactly the opposite of what you said.
