@Serotoninluv you are right about it. He is that narct/bpd. And I will get help in breaking up

It's not that an alpha male is an automatically bad man just because he is alpha. That's a myth. Maybe this myth helps beta males feel better. My first boyfriend was an alpha male. He was good at almost everything from looks to social status to winning women. You say it he got it. But I broke up with him because there was no affection only sex. He was like a super alpha who didn't care about anything except primal needs. But that didn't help me at all. Wasn't helping my growth. So I had to let him go. My next boyfriend was a beta male and I know maybe you hate to hear this but this was my most awful relationship because he was good in the beginning at impressing me and he was not aggressive but I had nothing to learn from him. It was like dating a statue. He wasn't good looking but it didn't matter to me. Yet his insecurities and I was making more than him in my job, so he resented it and was jealous that my social status was above his and that caused him to vehemently take covert swipes at me and show passive aggression. His constant victim mentality got too much to the point that it turned hostile and merciless and he would just keep lamenting and bugging me. Full on harassment. He didn't threaten me but his own fear, jealousy and insecurity that I might do better than him caused him to act distant and testy with me. I gave up and broke up with him because there was no point. He lacked confidence which means he never had the power to talk about family, marriage or living together or making things happen. Always evasive, running away from shit like a pussy. I wasn't proud. I couldn't get his cooperation to start a family.. At last he bailed out because he couldn't get anything done. He insecurity meant he had to disagree just to disagree. I left him. My current boyfriend is also an alpha but way better than the first alpha boyfriend I had. Because I learned almost everything from this guy. He taught me so much, from politics to religion to social dynamics, not that I can't learn on my own, but his audacity helped me overcome my weaknesses. He was like a pillar during my tough times. He is obviously good looking, 10 out of 10 on looks, love and romance. I didn't love him just like that. A relationship is not always all bad, although it does get toxic. But I emerged a matured woman in this relationship more than any other I had before. I learned nothing with the beta guy, absolute zero and it wasn't motivating in any way, in fact it was demoralizing. When I was suicidal my boyfriend was the only one who yanked me out of it with his motivational talk and he punished me when I did wrong, in a way he disciplined and grounded me because that toughness is necessary to be serious in life. I didn't love him just for his looks or power, but also for being determined and giving me the strength and discipline when I needed it. Alpha males are good as long as they are good, especially when they are balanced and not abusive. The only bad part is when they get abusive. Not all alpha males are abusive. But they sure as heck have huge amount of self confidence and dependability that a woman can rely on. Plus they are not afraid to commit to marriage. They are more than ready to face challenges of life. I saw my boyfriend going through a lot of challenges in life, things I cannot imagine going through, but seeing him fight it out gave me the motivation that my struggles are nothing compared to his. He has the downside of being abusive and so I will have to leave him eventually. Men who are insecure and lacking in confidence can be extremely difficult to deal with. Not only they lack in looks, power, confidence, they try to compensate their lack by constantly dragging the woman down rather than motivating them using covert passive strategies. Been there done that. A healthy guy is a combination of an alpha male and some balance and sensitivity. And no abuse. In the end I will go for an alpha male or remain single.

Another thing is to not get overwhelmed by duties and responsibilities and distractions and "things that need fixing".... Those can be put off for later. Focus on what's more important right now. Or at least what's important for this week or next week..

After laying out a plan for both physical and spiritual growth, the most important element is "FOCUS" Just pay attention to what needs to be done to fix things and what needs to be done next to create a flow, a pattern or a sequence or an order

I think I am more sensitive and empathetic. But it usually winds me up with people who drain me with their needs. I need to focus more on self care. It's not a cultural thing, it's only me looking for love and not realizing that it can be a big trap. I get attached really quick and then it's difficult to let go. But experience is a great teacher. So I think I will eventually learn to be able to feel emotionally strong and independent and resilient enough to cough out a "no" and not feel guilty for that. A part of my psychology that I'm dealing with is the fear of offending someone which is huge. I am working on that part where I can freely offend someone when I feel they are encroaching my space. I was raised in a strict catholic school where the first thing I was taught was to receive everyone with grace and be very kind and helpful and never hurt. But the disadvantages of kind behavior are overlooked a lot. He played a lot on my sympathetic side. I'm aware of that. Another part of my psychology is that I was conditioned to believe that anything related to self care is selfish. My ex used to do that a lot. If I told him that I had to eat or sleep, he would say that I'm being selfish which is crazy. But it's time for me to start out on a clean slate and make up for all the emotional loss. I need to break the unhealthy relationship and not get into anymore relationships until they are really healthy and help with my physical and spiritual growth. Like Leo said, I shouldn't allow my feelings to cloud my wisdom and better be single than be in dead end relationship. I think they say that you should swallow your pride if you want to ask for help, in a similar way I need to learn to swallow guilt in order to carve a new path for myself. If he feels that I let him down or disappointed him like he always says, I think I should not worry what he thinks and maybe start worrying a little more about myself. I am human too and my needs are also important whether he gets it or not.

@remember he is a hyper emotional guy so there was that part that drew me in. But he is too self righteous and I think long term he is only going to do more damage to me. I don't see any impact on him of this relationship. It's only me because I don't do the attacking. I'm always supporting him emotionally. We aren't living together. But we have plans to get married in a few months. But I want to keep marriage on hold because the state of the relationship is not very pleasant for me to go ahead with marriage. I'm already unhappy in the relationship because I don't think he plans to change. And he does whatever suits his needs. He does want me to get married to him and he has been pressing me for that for quite some time now. But I'm worried about our future together. Whenever I want to have a frank conversation with him, he usually quits by saying that he is busy and he has things to care of. So I'm mostly ignored. I don't see myself happily married to him in the future. It seems like his needs are supreme and I won't have any space left in the relationship. Every conversation is always about him and his issues and needs. He is a bit alpha and he does seem to take pride in his looks and achievements. But he is also emotional and sensitive, but not sensitive enough to give air to my concerns. He tells me how easily he can get any woman he wants. But I fell in love with him not for his looks or his alpha nature but because he shared similar childhood trauma as me. So we connected through our deeper problems. He does seem to be kind at times and was supportive when I was going through a rough time with my family. But he is also egotistical and flips out a lot which gets very unbearable. So if I do get married to him, I see myself as a supportive doormat wife who has to do whatever he says and be by his side completely neglecting my own needs for affection, love and support. I have my own ego. I want a life for myself where I can have my own space. Like last week he told me how I should not read certain books or not watch a movie or video. In the past if I had male friends he would get angry so I cut off all male friends from my life to make him feel more secure. It seems like my life needs to be tailored to his needs and he easily gets upset if I'm not available to offer him support whenever he needs. He does randomly beat the shit out of people if he gets angry at them. I mean at least he does talk about how he would love to beat up someone if they gave him a hard time or came at him. He has been to jail for threatening to kill a guy who he had a fight with. But he told me that it was a false arrest. That he never meant to do it and that guy lied and got him in trouble. He tells me how other men envy him and that he can do way better than most. He tells me that I'm not very smart. But he loves my kindness. But I'm getting a bit used to his taunts and it gets old. I don't see myself in the role of his wife, his ego is huge and my emotional nature is fragile. I would have desperately wanted to be his wife because we shared a wonderful sexual and romantic chemistry. We were like lovebirds inseparable at least for some time. But now the romance has faded. Part of my weight gain was because he taunted me so much and constantly made me insecure by telling me he will end the relationship during every argument. That messed me emotionally. Because I'm sensitive and loyal and his words are quite harsh. I get despondent at the mention of a breakup. Any disagreement even the slightest and he flies into a rage or heckling me till I succumb and cave in and finally agree. I disappeared for 10 days and he tracked me somehow through his friends and he was absolutely furious. This was after his jail because I wasn't able to handle his jail arrest. He told me that I had betrayed him by abruptly disappearing but that wasn't the case, I was just mentally messed up and anxious. He was so furious that he slammed his wrist on a table and went on an incoherent loud verbal rant declaring his love for me. I was scared for his life, that he might do some self-harm so I went back to him. He used that incident a lot against me. His anger seems to have dissipated after he was evicted many times wherever he rented. He is now learning to not let the anger get the better of him. But I do have my inner doubts especially about his manic anger issues. He might lock me out of the house, I don't know, I can't be sure what he might do in the future. But he does promise that he will never hurt me. If I decide and go ahead and marry him, it will be like taking a bet on my life. Because I should be fully prepared to face any consequences, even life threatening. That's what bugs me. I'm not willing to put my life at stake in the name of love. I'm a spiritual person. I'm forgiving. I have a big heart. But would I deserve to suffer so much just because I decided to give him my all. When he threatened me with jail, I got very anxious about our future together. These are not things you say in fun or just to hurt the person during an argument. Such statements can be serious. I didn't do anything criminal in my life to deserve jail time. He said it to get at me.. During one time he sent me a note of my picture with "go kill yourself" scribbled on it. And laughed about it later. If I want to forgive i can forgive everything. But the question is how much is too much. These days the constant worry in my head is, what if he writes up a false report on me and gets me in jail just to get at me and make me suffer. I brought up my concerns to him and he said he would never do it. I can never know when he is serious and when he is joking. In a nutshell my fears are legitimate. He has guilted me often back into the relationship. So I have to justify breaking up with him because I get guilty every time I decide to leave. I don't think it's healthy. The love and romance is brilliant and his affection and attachment is enticing and comforting but is all the risk worth it. I just want a peaceful life not some romantic adventure. So I really want to think things through.

Whenever I give him a negative response or reaction out of provocation, he mocks and ridicules me like he enjoyed it. One day I confronted him about it and he said it's word ammunition. But I told him it hurts. He doesn't care about my well-being at all. In fact I'm the one who cares a lot about him and he relies me for emotional support whenever he is having a tough time and that happens almost alternate day. I always think that it's my duty to support him but I have been drained by only giving affection yet not receiving any. He won't even be grateful. Mostly at the end of our conversations he abruptly leaves saying he is busy so I am only used when he needs me. If I protest about his behavior, he says he can find better women. I have begun to confront him more often now but it doesn't help. And he apologizes when I disappear for longer periods and begs me to come back which pulls me back to him I tried breaking off several times but he gets very persuasive. I feel that in the end I will be left too heartbroken because he has been constantly hinting that I'm on thin ice. I get the feeling that he will ditch me. I'm working on my self esteem but having loved him so deeply makes it very hard to face an eventual breakup so I try whatever to save the relationship but it has taken me to the edge of my life.

@Serotoninluv he exactly told me what you wrote in quote. He told me I'm being overly sensitive and that this is how men are and he told me that he is telling me the truth and said if I can't handle it then I am a child.

I just needed love and acceptance in life. I have come to realize that that's all I needed. That will set me free. I have understood that the root cause of evil is abuse. Lying, stealing, cheating, craving, everything comes from a relationship of fear, demonization,deprivation, dismissal, judgement, violence, abuse, punishment, threats, humiliation, shaming etc.. A good person becomes bad when they are exposed to fear. God protect me from evil and sin Weird and neurotic behaviors are also a result of narcissistic abuse The weird behavior was a coping mechanism to the narcissistic abuse. I want to talk about this emptiness syndrome. A psychological dissonance. Like if I come back from work, I don't feel happy at all, I feel very empty, like there is nothing fulfilling about success, money, power, status, fame like these are just artificial elements inserted into the life that don't make it full. It's a spiritual emptiness. You feel like these are not relevant. And on top of it, you feel like they are a waste of time, and also a distraction to your spiritual objective and therefore you feel like you are constantly missing out on something while you are in that rat race and while you are in it, the frustration only grows. We all have a child within us that wants to be free, wants to experience Bliss, some candy, we all want that freedom, that purity, that innocence that liberation and unconditional comforting love. That peace that acceptance. I'm looking for the following things ?Happiness ?Healing ?Security ?Peace ?Unconditional love ?Acceptance ?Fulfillment and purpose ?Comfortable growing space and not a toxic space I was thinking about the next concept which is the most important thing to me. This concept is about life. It's about how there are major complexes that are important to be considered. One thing I noted is that life is the experience of both physical and spiritual. After death spiritual is not relevant and physical does not exist. So only life is important. In life its the Fusion of both physical and spiritual and this is the only chance to experience it. The complexes are Socio-psycho-biology complex Psycho-biology complex Psycho-emotional-mental-spiritual complex Psycho-emotional-mental complex I will call these energy molecules or energy pathways. Development of all these complex or pathways is important. Now the spirit has a disposition but this disposition is also impacted by the Psycho-emotional-mental complex. Now life consists of aspects The psycho-biological and the emotional-mental-biological and psycho-emotional-mental-spiritual complex and Socio-psycho-biology complex. And psycho-emotional-mental aspect. In spiritual there are 2 psycho-emotional-mental-spiritual complex psycho-emotional-mental complex In physical there are 3 psycho-biological complex Socio-psycho-biology complex emotional-mental-biological complex If you don't water a plant then the plant will die. Therefore only spiritual aspect is not the only important aspect, it's also the physical or biological aspect that should be considered. But if you forget the spiritual aspect there are problems like depression and mental illness and degradation of the spirit. Therefore both need to be considered. You have a physical journey as well as a spiritual journey. The term engineering. This term has a special meaning. Every word, statement, action you make or do should be engineered lifeward. Different types of abuse Mental - cursing, name calling Emotional - mocking at emotions, passive aggressive tactics Physical - violence and slaving many hours Psychological - changing their natural perception about something by gaslighting. Like telling a wife that cheating is okay and she shouldn't bother Spiritual - making a person believe they wil go to hell if they didn't do so and so. Extortion. Making a person do evil or encouraging a person to be evil. Provoking a person to evil

@Arcangelo I don't even know what you mean.

He is all about convenience and greed. Convenient morality Extremely self serving

Looks like a very dependent guy to me but not dependable, only dependent.

I don't think pedophilia is wrong. I used to think that way though. But it seems like a lot of men naturally get attracted to younger girls and it's a fact they try to hide due to social pressure... But truth eventually comes out. A lot of these men are unhappy with their wives because they are attracted to the neighborhood girl who is younger. I think society can do far better with more sexual Liberation. I think sexual stuff becomes criminally offensive only when there is no consent and when emotional manipulation and abuse is involved. Or physical intimidation, sociopathy or violence is involved.... It shouldn't be criminal if both enjoy it and are happy with the sexual experience. The age doesn't matter. It should be deemed criminal only if the person has suffered trauma. Otherwise it's only a sexual act. I think deep down the problem lies with demonization of sex by religion and society which is useless. It doesn't work. Sex is a primal need.. So this demonization presents itself in different ways like setting barriers and slut shaming and shaming people who want sex. I personally feel pedophilia is a sexual orientation that does not get a healthy outlet.

I had been thinking about spirituality for some time and certain things have changed. I started thinking about ancient cultures a week ago and even had a new journal on that. But it has changed my perspective. I no longer think that only spirituality is important. I have begun to believe that sometimes spirituality comes from an unconscious denial although I'm not rejecting spirituality altogether and I know that spirituality is like an ocean and there's just too much to study in it. The more I started to dig into ancient Roman and Greek culture the more I learned that materialism is also something. That denial of it is unnecessary. And that spirituality does not cover every aspect of life. The most important revelation was that there is definitely a primal side to evil but also a sociopathic side to evil. The primal side can be accepted and while doing so we sort of have to compromise with Spirituality. That was a bit difficult. Now I am not trying to accomodate my primal aspect and dashing spirituality away for protecting my primal needs. Like an abuser would provide rationale for his abuse. But I do it because I have realized that even through materialism one can have a spiritual experience. This came from last week's deep deep overwhelming extremely pleasuring sexual experience. With that experience came a strong feeling of love. And it almost felt like a higher love. It felt like a wonderful feeling of happiness and I felt like I was truly truly loved. Truly loved. The person made me very happy and very loved. It not only felt sexual but at the same time it felt spiritual. It felt like pure love. Up until this point I never felt like I would ever consider a sexual experience to be anything more than sexual. I never thought of sexual experiences that way. But the sexual experience I had this time was very wonderful. It opened the door to love. There was a lot of sexual affection. Deep sexual affection. And it felt wonderful. The affection was very strong. That's why I felt it was almost spiritual. The next day I felt that even biological experiences can lead to profound spiritual feelings and it need not be sitting in a cave meditating. I wrote about it. Very recently. Thats where the mask began to fall off. And I started to realize that everything physical is not non spiritual. And this was a huge breakthrough. Combined with the influence of ancient Greek and Roman culture, it had a tremendous impact on my thinking and beliefs. The other part that influenced my thinking was that I watched a lot of stuff that happened to people that was sociopathic and a question came to my mind - "what's the cure for this sociopath?"..... And I realized that there is no cure except putting down the rabid dog. Spirituality cannot change it. Spirituality does not have a solution for sociopathy. A sociopath doesn't change they are just born that way. So I figured that there is an obvious physical side to things that cannot be ignored. So I had to think more realistically. I think without sex this revelation wouldn't have been possible. It's only through sex that I saw a connection between physical and spiritual. But not any sex. Only that particular sex where you really feel loved. Sex that does not make you feel loved is really very mechanical and does not have that love aspect to it. You feel like you are giving a performance that's all. It can even feel a little odd. But this wasn't like that. This was something like never before. I felt very loved and cared for and very respected and very wanted. It was amazing. That's when I realized that physical is just as important as spiritual and that it shouldn't be neglected. And there is a ethereal beauty to physical things. I used to think that it's the physical part that complements the spiritual part. The sexual experience last week healed me, it brought me to tears and also made me realize how much my ex hated me, like how he didn't love me enough, didn't make me feel deserved, and would say terrible sexual things to me on top of all the lack of affection. I have realized that for a woman a sexual experience is very important because she feels loved. Now I think opposite... I think it's the spiritual part that complements the physical part. Spiritual is necessary when the physical is absent. I think part of the reason why I focused so much on spiritual is because I only thought life after death and eternity. But didn't realize that I should also focus about life before I think about death. Death and eternity are far away. And who's to say what happens after death. That only death will know. Why to think about death when you are alive. How is thinking about death going to benefit life. Why not be real. Why be in denial. And the biggest thing is when you die, how does anything even matter. You are dead. It's over. It's gone. Whatever spirituality you hold to be true is non existent or at least non meaningful or defunct at that point. You are gone. All experience is gone. Even if you have a spiritual experience after death, your body is not alive to experience or feel it. So the present state of awareness and emotion matters more than whatever happens after death. This single most important insight was only possible because of sex. And I had no idea that sex would have such a tremendous impact on me. Reality is what you feel now. Reality is your emotions. Your emotions through life. Your experiences. Reality is your purpose and your fulfillment in this life. Reality is your psycho-emotional-mental state right now. That's what matters. Your past is gone and you cannot change it. Whatever you can change is the future. And the future depends on what you create now.. Reality is based on all this... You need to feel good. You need to feel good now to feel better in eternity. Sex can make you feel good. It's primal I never looked at spirituality with this very primal perspective. But I see it now. And it feels very different.

Certain things just fall in the category of odd things whether they are material or spiritual.

Just because it's from India I wouldn't believe it. Some eastern people like to assume that things just happen their way. It's a kind of delusional thinking. There is no rational evidence to this sort of practice and any evidence presented is just hearsay. I believe in science as much as I believe in religion. I think science fulfills the need of the body whereas religion and spirituality fulfills the needs of the soul. It's important to have great determination which is helpful at times during adverse situations where food is not available and to survive in those situations without food but at the end of the day I feel it's the human mechanism that allows for that to happen. The human body is very strong and can withstand a variety of terrible situations. It's the survival instinct that allows unthinkable things to happen. But of course there is a limit to this survival instinct. And beyond the threshold I believe the person would die I think it's terrible to mislead people and make them believe in something magical like living without food. People should not fall for it. A simple spiritual practice can do wonders to every day living. These extreme missions or activities are completely unnecessary in my opinion. It's something that spiritual junkies would want to try. Deep down its delusion. I think in yoga you can control certain aspects of the physical body but its only so much that can be controlled.. Beyond that I don't think that spiritual energy has anymore impact on the human body. I don't know why people have to always try something either very risky or very unrealistic. I guess curiousity gets the better of them.

This insight came to me during this morning meditation today and it was very wonderful. It was like this. Like a protective instinct that follows you everywhere. That's God's power. It's like a cement or a fixative that covers you like an aura and protects not only your home but wherever you go in this world and touches every aspect of your life and makes it wonderful. It makes it beautiful. It releases the toxins around you and protects you from destructive events or forces or things. It helps you, energizes you and helps you heal and helps you grow and find a peaceful grounding to live and flourish on. It brings good people in your life. It creates a sacred comfort in your life. It's like a glue

I'm going to discuss about another aspect of humility in terms of primal existence. Like we have to be humble because we cannot attain ultimate spirituality yet we can be good human beings. Somewhere there is this feeling that too much spirituality could be new age hypocrisy and self deception. I'm going to touch on this subject at some point but I'll leave it for now. It's more about your primal nature and being accepting and happy with it rather than resisting it. Embracing your primal nature rather than thinking that only spirituality will complete you.

Better learn than suffer Empathetic intelligence - is wanting everyone to be happy and welfare for everyone and devising strategies for that. Psychopathic intelligence - intelligence used for maximum personal advantage at the expense of others.
