Hi! You can call me Tynk, I'm from Vegas. I'm happy to be here. I was brought here because Drgn is my partner and I support what he wants to do with this community. I have been working with him for five years now and the things he's taught me have helped me greatly. That combined with the right meds and the right therapist have brought me closer to who I want to be as a parent, as a partner, and as a person. I have identified my personal nemesis as Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), and I want to work on overcoming my nemesis. I have been playing my why game for a while now and I wisdom the inherited role that love can be our has to be earned. I find that the people who love you do so because they want to and find value in you as a person, and you don't have to earn it when it's true. When I share difficult things, I find the best responses come from a place of empathy and honesty. I find responses that that come in the form of a ordinal story to relate, don't sit well with me.

Take Your Power Back is a place for honest questions, difficult conversations, and personal accountability. That only works when people know where the boundaries are. The short titles on Skool’s Rules page are reminders. This post explains what those rules mean, how we handle sensitive topics, and what to do when someone needs more support than an online community can provide. Read this entire post before participating. 1. THINK FOR YOURSELF Nobody here—including the founder—is the final authority on how another person should live. Share your reasoning, question your assumptions, and leave room for the possibility that you may learn something. 2. OWN YOUR HUNDRED PERCENT Take responsibility for your choices, actions, and impact. That does not mean taking someone else’s blame or pretending other people have no accountability of their own. Own your part and leave theirs with them. 3. THE WHY GAME IS A GIFT Do not interrogate, corner, embarrass, or dismantle another member for sport. Ask permission before digging deeply into someone else’s beliefs. A member may stop a conversation at any time, for any reason. 4. SPEAK FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE Use “I” language. Share what you have lived, learned, tried, or observed. Do not diagnose other members, declare what is secretly wrong with them, or present your personal experience as a universal law. 5. CHALLENGE IDEAS, NOT PEOPLE Disagreement is welcome. Contempt is not. No harassment, insults, threats, humiliation, discrimination, dogpiling, or ideology-first fighting. 6. CONSENT AND BOUNDARIES FIRST A no is a no. A changed mind is a no. Silence is not permission. Do not pressure members to disclose personal information, continue a conversation, accept advice, communicate privately, or explain a boundary. 7. RESPECT PEOPLE AND PRIVACY Do not share another member’s posts, identity, screenshots, personal history, or private messages outside this community without clear permission. 8. ASK FOR HELP IN GOOD FAITH

Welcome to Take Your Power Back. This community exists for one reason: To help you stop living the life you inherited and start choosing the one you actually want. Most of us were handed rules about who we should be, what success should look like, how relationships are supposed to work, what we are allowed to want, and what makes us worthy. Some of those rules still serve us. Some never did. The work here is not to reject everything you were taught. It is to question what has been running your life, understand what it was built to do, and decide whether it still is doing what you want it to do. Nobody here—including me—is the final authority on who you should become. That choice stays with you. DO THESE THREE THINGS FIRST 1. READ THE COMMUNITY RULES AND SAFETY BOUNDARIES Read the pinned Complete Community Rules post before participating. We discuss real lives and difficult subjects here, so consent, privacy, boundaries, and personal accountability are not optional. The short version: think for yourself, own your hundred percent, and treat The Why Game as a gift—not a weapon. 2. INTRODUCE YOURSELF Go to the pinned Introduce Yourself post and tell us: • What should we call you? • What brought you here? • What is one part of your life you want to examine or choose more deliberately? Share only what you are comfortable sharing. You never owe the community your entire story. 3. ANSWER THE FIRST WHY GAME PROMPT Go to The Why Game category and answer: What is one rule about life that you inherited but never consciously chose? You do not need to solve it in your first post. Start by noticing it and putting it into words. HOW TO USE THE COMMUNITY • Start Here — Onboarding, rules, safety information, and important announcements • Introductions — Meet the people doing this work alongside you • The Why Game — Examine beliefs, assumptions, and inherited rules • Taking Your Power Back — Make deliberate choices about where your time, attention, and power go
