Well done! A sign I got was electric zaps. Touching doorhandles or metal I get a slight painful zap to my fingers. It was temporary and went away after 4 months.

Im not interested in Rogan at all. He is a talking opinion..... I value his opinion. I value yours equally the same as to anyone elses. To me Rogan has never been capable of impressing or influencing me emotionally or intentionally. I value he does his show and gets guests on I like. Himself as a personality......Id love to see the more Sincere, less defensive, less harsh, less snappy, less I think I Know it all version of Rogan and just see him. I judge Joe Rogan feels inferior to people.....a constant tug o war over how he looks to others....He is a good man; he just needs to realise this himself and accept all the parts of him. Once he integrates himself, which will happen one day, his show will transform and his personality will be ultra magnetic. Less choppy, more graceful and intimate. You will know he reaches this point the day he says he no longer watches UFC. The day will come and soon that sport will no be banned, it will just be non popular or have a very niche audience like it used to.

@Paul92 I respect and honour your honesty. No need to pressure yourself to believe things that just arent sticking. Youre better off being honest with yourself rather than cheating a belief system. I argue you arent required to understand these things or 'get' them in order to have a happy ride in life! Osho has advocated to people that for someone who doesnt believe in the Magic of Life that there is only one remedy: utterly go and fall in love. I know you said you dont believe esoteric stuff, but Osho has a theory that if a person is too much of a living walking calculator, and someone stubborn, that Life will send them a woman his way purely for the purpose of falling in love. Sounds like things are going well. I would point out, you said you had a great date, but already youre thinking of the element of lack/fragility/missing out future opportunities or the enjoyment of them. Enjoy them! Bask in the good feeling! Let yourself be high on the emotional swing for ages! I think youre keeping yourself safe and within safety zones of your psyche that prevents you fully enjoying yourself without feeling guilty. I want to hear more of you....You sound very mature and very aware of how your mind can work in certain ways. How would you feel if you sincerly did believed in the Beauty of Life? Hypthetically?..... Or please let me know ive misunderstood. Sincerely wish to help even though this is an online forum and connection is (seemingly) diminished.

@Viking Youre doing a great job with everything youre doing. Well done for trying out the things that didnt work for you; there is nothing defective about you, those tools are just not for you right now. Slow and steady wins the race. If you're consistent in the Wim Hof breathing, to me, this is sufficient to warrant celebration! Just keep it up for another year, and then when you feel inspired you can browse for something to add into your toolkit. Test things out, be quick to drop things that just dont work or gel with you.....Trust yourself

Sam, I am totally sober reading this and can really resonate with your insight. Well done "Sam wants things, just let things be." My ego has had a hard time accepting my destiny (determinism) because of this constant thought of, "What if i screw up my destiny? What if I miss my train?" And reading your post, along with occurances in my life, the message is clear, *You cant screw up your destiny even if you try!* So yes, sit back and watch everything transpire. Im too chicken to try psychedelics. Modafinal and a classic Do Nothing meditation alongside Wim HOF breathing gets me spaced out enough. Ive vouched once I hit 30 years old Ill give LSD a go.

@Elia You can learn from Hailey Quinn. All her past 3 relationships were initiated by her, in her words. She is of the opinion that the narrative that only men are allowed to approach is harmful in todays age where customs and traditions are pretty much all over the place.

Ozzie is the only one worth learning from.

@Carlos RSD can be some toxic content to watch. I studied with them for a long time and whilst I did talk with girls and had success, I always felt never good enough with who i am. So if youre watching their content along with Hulse, it doesnt surprise me you feel inferior. I would advise to drop the comparison game. Buddhism psychology will explain to you that the way youre thinking about all of these things is how the human mind/ego is by default. Constantly coming up with anything to make you feel seperate to other people, or better than other people, or less than others. Much PUA is selling you under the paradigm "youre not good enough, so come and get some help from us to improve yourself." Guess what? That game never ends. There is never an end point where you can say youre successful enough and be content. Leos video on Being vs Doing is the only genuine 'end point.' Sadly PUA never promises a point where you can just 'exist.' Having said all of this, if your heart beckons you to PUA, then do it totally. Notice I said "totally"? If you do it, go all in. Do be half in half out with it. Be a bit obsessive with it for a stage in your life. But even when you reach a point with anything, youll realise you were good enough all along and there was never anything wrong to begin with in the first place. All that PUA stuff is just an illusion to make you feel like youre doing alot of stuff to fix yourself.....there is nothing you need to fix. Dont bother with the alpha/beta style thinking. Every alpha is secretly a beta anyhow. Youll just get back into the comparison game which leads to hurt. Advise? I would agree with Leo. Go and socialise a bit and do your best to meet girls. Power to you. But after you do all of that, youll discover the secret one day on your own. You were fine all along to begin with. But until you get there, you wont believe me or anyone here....So go chat up some girls today! Let us know how you go! ?

Going out solo to clubs and doing pickup great means to keep your ego in check. .....on the dangerous side one can get a big ego out of it. "Look at me, im doing this all by myself, noone in the club can do this. How brave I am"- avoid that. Having said that, if youre having fun, yes you may skip the skillset work, but a life of sincere fun is a nice existence!
