Firstly, I'd recommend the above video. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd also consider looking into some of the following: - Depth psychotherapy - Working towards mastering something you find somewhat meaningful - Life fundamentals, i.e. sleep, diet, exercise - Meditation To my mind, nihilism way well be accurate. However, it only is something you focus profoundly on and in a negative way because of the way your psyche has adapted to existence, imo. For example, it may be that you are unconsciously fearful of having certain expectations of yours not come to fruition, so a part of your psyche depresses you through regularly focusing on nihilism. By depressing you constantly it means you are apatethic towards whether certain things happen in your life. The intention of that depressing part being to prevent you from the pain of loss of hope. ^ That's just an example. But my point is that I think its important to establish the root cause of your current state of being. None of this is your fault btw, imo. However, to my mind, it is your responsibility to take steps to overcome your current predicament. I think posting in this forum, as you have done, is a really great step. I respect it a lot actually. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Finally, I've always liked this video, on these matters: I think the vid could be of value to you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyhow, I hope my perspective is useful to you. I wish you well :).

If other folks were curious about this, I found this video of Leo's rather helpful on the issue:

@MarkKol Tricky one. To my mind, its not unhealthy to make a tonne of money. Its unhealthy if its the sole reason why you are doing what you are doing. Though I could see issues with a prolonged money only project. I guess it would depend how long it took you. However, I'm very much speaking as a lay person on this issue. Cal Newport might be a useful resource for you, i.e. So good they can't ignore you.

I think most of pickup is self help on steroids for orange.

Invest most of it in a stable asset. Then work out how to live off it sustainably

I'd read atomic habits, and implement that style of thought. If you still don't get results, do depth psychotherapy and check for neurodivergence.

@spiritual memes I mostly agree, yes

@spiritual memes Sounds like a testament to your character

@Fuku Brother how are things now?

@spiritual memes Dude this all sounds like superb progress! Inspiring!

I wouldn't do it. But fair play to her for taking initiative, and doing something courageous and proactive.

@Julian gabriel I think its because people are dissociating themselves from ordinary experience

@Norbert Somogyi If you have disorganised attachment style, to my mind, relationships are going to be tricky for you atm. It involves both seeking attachment, and being afraid of attachment. So, you will yo-yo in terms of wanting to be close and wanting to be distant from people you are in relationship too. And, imo, will attract in people more naturally who aren't the healthiest. I'd advice getting into some deep psychotherapeutic work so that you can change your attachment style towards a secure attachment. Its not your fault that you are this way, or something worthy of blame. However, it won't change unless you take the relevant steps.

Comes across as rather ungrounded to me. Seems like the dude is pretty triggered in these sorts of posts. I'm not a fan of this manner of communication. Where's the tier 2ness in it?

@LSD-Rumi ?

Derrida. The father of postmodernism :).

@Holymoly Ye I pretty much totally agree with Mate's points here. I personally think its because JP has PTSD which often causes a lot of rage issues.

Sure. In the same way you can choose to sing in the rain, you can choose whatever set of morals to follow that you want.

Why does Sarah Palin have, among those closer to the left, an especially negative reputation ?

I can offer partial advice. I'd recommend you communicate about this in a way where you both make sure you both genuinely understand each other's reasons, and also that you both feel heard. I think that will help keep the relationship healthy whatever the decision. Re the actual decision, I won't give advice.

@thepixelmonk No way! That's awesome!

IFS therapy my guy. David Snyder's NLP stuff I've heard good things about too. PSTEC too.

Great stuff dude. Sounds like you've really taken some positive steps. Kudos!
