But I also think needy people will get better results than you the way you seem to define “results”. They’ll just find other needy people to be miserable with. Why do anything? Why not? What’s the alternative? Living under a rock(not that there’s anything wrong with that)? You can have non-needy desires & self-constructed meanings. Neediness is your attachment, not what you do or say.

Yes it works. You can totally engage with flirting without needing any of it & it works. But you realize that you might not get it & it’s still fine right? I mean it. Could go either way. If you reject people that come to you “cause you’re so not needy” you are actually needy for this perception of yourself as being this “non-needy” person. You can participate in life in non-needy way without living under a rock like @Salvijus is suggesting. There’s no difference between sex & living under a rock for the true non-needy. Going to a bar to do pickup is needy behaviour. But you will meet people that vibe with you in other non-needy contexts by just engaging with life & being open.

This is false. I’ve been going barefoot on pavement for years & my feet & legs are healthier than they’ve ever been. I run a lot on pavement too. You just need to be smart about progressive transition if you are starting from a weak place. edit: It’s not just the feet & legs. It percolates all the way up the kinetic chain. People have no idea how bad most shoes are. I think bottom line is you need no cushion, enough space to spread the toes(clenching those flip flops is horrible), and no heel. Notice that removes 99+% of shoes.

It’s crazy that they market these atrocities for running & people buy it. It goes against every principle of bio mechanics that are true & work. You literally make yourself more incompetent & crippled every time you put these on.

And you think getting rid of your desire without even knowing what you are renouncing is going to solve anything?

Just get a girlfriend what’s the problem?

Dang, must be hell inside your head.

@Salvijus Look at history

Across lifetimes maybe. Within this one, I think it’s less accurate to say this. Most people will die lost in a prison of their own making without any understanding that they are doing it & trying to help doesn’t matter cause they already think they know every thing & the whole world is going to shit, bla-bla-bla(or some other bullshit story). My entire family is like that. I appreciate your perspective. It is more compassionate. Which has it’s own kind of value. Paradoxically, it’s probably easier to help (some) people with your frame of mind even though it’s less accurate.

You are starting to realize that the hamster wheel won’t ever satisfy. It’s a necessary process to go through. Stop doing stuff & embrace the boredom for a few days. You can’t ever make yourself whole by doing. Passion happens when you are already whole & do stuff for the heck of it. Not because it matters. Cause it doesn’t.

You guys are making such a big deal out of this place😂 chill You can leave that’s also chill. The drama is never ending!

I enjoyed it. The bar is so low with podcasts in general that they definitely stick out in a good way. It’s not as great & complete as they claim though. It can’t be, that’s just marketing crap. But it’s good.

That’s assuming they are interested in going on a discovery process in the first place which is highly unlikely. People don’t just scroll TikTok and then spontaneously have non-ordinary consciousness.

How grotesquely narcissistic can he get? Dang

Years of mindfulness & correcting the wrong ways you use your body. Activate weak side. Relax stiff side. It’s good that you are questioning. That’s the first step. Notice “oh I am out of balance, let me find my centre.”. Do that all the time for years. You will loose focus over & over but no on will fix you if as soon as you leave the office, you walk like crap, stand like crap & move like crap.
