@KatiesKarma Ye i get the confusion. Maybe you have a child part that got pretty triggered by something and decided to dissociate.

@KatiesKarma Sounds to me like dissociation I note also you haven't mentioned any somatic oriented practices. To my understanding, dissociation is often most effectively resolved via somatic work, i.e. IFS, craniosacral therapy, Somatic experiencing, acupuncture.

@Ayham you could read the book Atomic Habits by James Clear

@pablo_aka_god Shows her character at this point of her life imo. Perhaps see the money lost as the price you pay to get to see her real character.

@Ayham I'd learn different scheduling techniques

My laptop broke once and I had to use my phone to access the forum. Made me want to jump off a cliff

Lmao what a weird guy? ? Dude definitely felt that one

@Ayham Thanks

@Eva I'd say actively listen to him, help him identify his emotions, and validate them. Then give your guidance or set boundaries if you want. I think Brazillian Jiu Jitsu could be a useful thing to encourage him into at this point of his life too. From my experience, they are a respectful community but also help young dude's develop that inner warrior and can develop healthy masculine qualities in the young dude. Will be some further role models there for your boy too to model.

Lmao what did you say exactly to make those implications?

I think this whole demonizing 'nice guys' is very misleading. The real issue is with guys with unconscious shame, and narcissistic traits. And I only really see the latter as worthy of criticism. Though I get sometimes these sorts of guys can put the 'nice guy' label on themselves.

I sorta have a theory that some types of ocd are actually ptsd symptoms, i.e. pure ocd

ptsd

@Enlightement Moderate-to-severe disintegration/ fragmentation of the mind.

That's great dude. But where is the growth with that route? For me and many others, cold approach is so prized because of the character it builds

@charlie cho To be fair mate, I note you did talk in your original post about it seeming like a joke, but it being serious for you. I also didn't read the title of your post properly before commenting. My mistake. Death threats are a serious situation. So, I get how my jokes could come across as trivializing your situation dude. On reflection, I would have been more sincere in my reply or not commented at all.

@charlie cho Maybe she just has a dark sense of humor. But she also might be an unhinged maniac lmao. Does sound like she might have a few screws loose upstairs ahaha. If you do end up dating her again I'd do a restaurant dinner. That way she is well fed and doesn't try to eat you. Sincerely tho, blocking probs was the right move imo.

bro is tempting fate lmao

Probs getting gang raped whilst being laughed at by my school bullies. That would not be fun.

@The Redeemer Hey dude, Sorry to hear this. Sounds to me like dissociation.

@Leo Gura Bit of a naive take imo. There are so many reasons why they might lie about it. For example, they wanted to study some sort of captured technology and not alert rivals to it. And there are numerous instances of guys with top level security clearance lying under oath in american history. Just looking at the NSA spying example from a few years ago.

@Holymoly Here's my take on it. Valid point about many leftists lacking systemic thinking. Though ironic coming from a right winger. Then the writer makes various unevidenced claims, i.e. detroit, voter movement. Pretty childish first paragraph on the last side. Final paragraph on the last side is pretty valid.

@bensenbiz You're welcome mate.
