  1. In a week?? How much milk are you drinking? So you eat 100g of lentils in a day, how long does it take you to make them? Is this exclusive to goat milk or? you’re not adding any additional sugar?
  2. Doing that doesn’t guarantee that you will succeed, but not doing it certainty means that you won’t. People move to America from foreign countries and they still manage, what excuse do you have as a native? It’s possible, not for everyone though. Not everyone can be rich. It’s up to the Government to come up with scalable solutions that can truly raise the standard for everyone in the country.
  3. Just think more positively, I clicked on this thread because I consider hopefulness as one of my strengths. A lot of the times I feel like I’m so dumb and naive that I always expect the best no matter how things may be going. It’s hard for you to adopt this mindset permanently, I get it. Change is hard. Try your best. Don’t limit yourself for what’s realistic. “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”
  4. In a video I don't remember the name of, Leo said (and I'm paraphrasing) "Sitting alone quietly for a week/two weeks, this will grow you". Personal story / why I asked I have been living next to a very obnoxious hair salon all my life, in a small village. Now I am finally an adult with a job, my grandparents moved to a different country and they left an empty house only a few kilometers away. I am thinking of potentially moving there since I got their approval (they're not coming back). However, this house is really isolated from most of society. So I feel like moving there would improve my focus and creativity, but it would also bring my social interaction from 3/10 to 0/10 aside from my office job. The social and dating opportunities in my part of the country are astonishingly bad, I really feel like more focus & creativity would help me build up better skills and finally move to a more prosperous place. This will cost me quite a bit though. Worth it, or not? Overall, I'm quite resistant to loneliness when I built up some momentum. As silly as it sounds, I'm concerned that having 0 social interaction everyday will impair my already bad social skills even more. This house is so insolated I'm pretty much guaranteed to have multiple days where I don't see a single human being. I'm 19 years old as context. Living in a third world country with a extremely tiny population. Third option! - Move to a prosperous country right away, I have around 4000 euros/dollars saved up. The difficult part would be finding a job in a foreign country. a) suck it up, move to that isolated house and built up skills b) move right away c) stay at my current home and try to build up skills/study while not completely destroying my (already bad) social life
  5. An office job is my current situation. I’m not lonely per se, at least I don’t suffer from it as much. I always handled loneliness much better than most people, most likely because I can entertain my self with ideas and have a dialogue with myself similar to a normal conversation. However I prefer having a balance of alone and social time, which I’m not having and haven’t in a long time. The house is next to the village which already has plenty of nature, lots of forests and shiz. And yes, I quite enjoy big cities and busy streets. I will probably stay at my current location & job, build up skills and expand my knowledge of marketing and business. I will make it work. I feel better now. My situation is so unique to the point where I’m struggling to explain it simply.
  6. Here's a twist though, my current house is connected with the hair salon and If I want to go to my kitchen or bathroom or living room, I have to pass through the salon first. You could say that my very own house is a hair salon. It's a living hell for someone like me who likes to think out loud.
  7. How many times did you get banned here? ?
  8. Everything said above + Distracting noises, especially family gossip I often hear, human noises in general. The requests are the worst, “focus is about saying NO”. I swear to god an empty house is more valuable than the soil it sits on. Food that gives me stomach acid and or worsens my ability to think. (The list is longer than I expected). I found out that lot of “what’s healthy” (which is usually vegetables) don’t go well with me. I.e peppers (any kind), Brussels sprouts & maybe asparagus.
  9. Pretty sure Steve Jobs & Napoleon Hill both vouched for sexual transmutation as well. So it’s not groundless.
  10. I’m a psychedelic virgin
  11. Forum tidbits, getting laid series, and overall attitude towards life. I rewatched the Integrity video the most, Integrity is a very honorable thing to seek, even though it might not be descriptive of you.
  12. This is a great reminder to read the cult books on the booklist if your schedule is free Read the books, come back here and rethink your accusations. What does that guy know about cults that we don’t? These YouTubers never criticize things that are positively held by the culture, there you go. Humans were so fucked back then you would probably get stoned or hanged for talking about today’s basic science
  13. He hasn't visited since he made this thread, nice
  14. I literally saw a video on twitter today of 2 men climbing over a US wall and back. AND BACK! it took them less than 30 seconds. A lot of people scam their way through, especially into the US. You can apply for Asylum from anywhere in the world, even if you're from a safe European country. (and you can actually get it that way)
  15. How do you brush you teeth with only water? This mindset is odd I don't wash my jeans and I don't change. I've been wearing the same jeans for 2 months now. It was made for miners in the first place, denim doesn't have to be washed, ever. You can have more focus by getting rid of useless chores, and wash them less if you're scared of detergent? (questionable I must say)
  16. Quinoa? lol wild rice is as expensive as gold, they sell it in 200g packages because 500/1kg is unaffordable for pretty much everyone.
  17. I also tend to waste hours just listening to music—And I come out miserable at the end. I have found that even when I used to play video games, I was much much much better without music. Just turning off music would improve my skill by 50% And on the grounds of creativity, I think that all noise is damaging. Creative ideas come to me in complete silence, complete focus. As much as I listened to music and as much as my taste developed, I can't help but feel that It's usually a very mindless process. It should be treated as recreation & entertainment.
  18. Don't be in such a hurry, get to ~500 approaches. You'll do it eventually. You're whining about not being able to persevere but ironically perseverance is the thing that will get you laid.
  19. The fastest growing app in the world is just casually a fraud? I can’t comprehend this stupidity.
  20. Sounds more like mental illness than Ego death
  21. You managed to make yourself believe that the universe is conspiring against you. That’s next level.
  22. I used to game 10-15 hours a day (severe addiction, now gone) and I never had this? I had stiff fingers where I couldn't move them easily from the keyboard typing position i.e do a fist. How are they bending? You mean they're closing?
  23. Short story: I traveled to my country's capital to get a license for my job, this was my first experience where I was alone in an apartment, exposed to a lot of women and socialization. This was a huge city, ~700K people. I decided to flunk the test cuz I wanted to explore the city. And then I came back home, I fucking hated my part of the country more than I usually do. I had anger attacks (first time), I cried out of misery for the first time in years because I was stuck in this shit part of the world. And to some degree I realized that a 700k city isn't that big, It's actually small. My mind was blown, but I digress. Recently I found out that I shouldn't suppress this anger or emotion, this anger is here for a reason. I'm in a shit place in life, I shouldn't be happy about it, I shouldn't ignore it. Why can't positive and negative motivation coexist? Claiming that positive motivation is the only motivation one should harness is sunshine and rainbows, what you get as a result is: a lazy society. You can't even cultivate positive motivation if your life is mediocre. You haven't dealt with pain so you have no sensitivity and no desire. I fucking hope that I get fired from my comfy office job for whatever reason, so I can be kicked in the ass. And I wish that on you too.
