Someone here

How do you know ? You will have to elaborate if you want me to take you seriously. What happens if you jump off a cliff or shoot yourself in the head? Are you denying that some day in the future your body will simply stop functioning in the way which we call death?

@Ryan_047 please do not kill yourself. There is Hope .you can get better. You matter. You have been created by god to fuliful a purpose. Your life has meaning and value .find and do everything that feels close to your heart and higher self and stay away from everything you know you should be staying away from. If you did this..I promise you that your life will only get better and better .but it takes time and practice. Stay safe .much love for you ❤.

Nothing stops that from happening again. But the question is what guarantees that it will in fact happen again? Just because it happend once doesn't deductivly conclude another occurrence. What is your argument here based on ? Mere probability? And by the way..We are left wondering. As far as I can tell, all the evidence points in the direction of brains causing mind, but no evidence indicates reverse causality. This whole line of reasoning, in fact, seems to be based on something akin to a God of the gaps argument, where physicalist gaps are filled with nonphysicalist agents, be they omniscient deities or conscious agents. No one denies that consciousness is a hard problem. But before we reify consciousness to the level of an independent agency capable of creating its own reality, let's give the hypotheses we do have for how brains create mind more time. Because we know for a fact that measurable consciousness dies when the brain dies, until proved otherwise, the default hypothesis must be that brains cause consciousness. I am, therefore I think.

The hypothesis that the brain creates consciousness, has vastly more evidence for it than the hypothesis that consciousness creates the brain. Damage to the fusiform gyrus of the temporal lobe, for example, causes face blindness, and stimulation of this same area causes people to see faces spontaneously I know The idea that subjective experience is a result of electrochemical activity remains a hypothesis. But I think that any proposition about what happens to consciousness after death is nothing but mere speculation. Since no one from the dawn of time came back from death to tell us what awaits us on the other side . I appreciate your perspective though ?

Based on what?

Try 100 lol . You make it seem like it's so easy . I struggle with social anxiety. It takes a lot of balls to come over to a girl and ask her for sex . And nope ..most girls in my country are polite and unexperienced sexually. We are a very Conservative society.

What is an example of "low key " sexual flirting? Also..do you think I should be sexual at all at the first date ? Or depends on what kind of relationship I'm looking for?

That's a solid advice. Thanks for that . You know..I tend to think that girls are like us ..simple and straightforward. But they are way more complex than us men . What we as men want from the relationship is mostly sex .but it turns out that girls look for other things. They have different priorities. They first need to "fall in love with you " and gain some basic knowledge about you and get to know you first before she opens her legs for you. Which takes a lot of time .and I can't wait .I'm so desperate and horny. Yes ...I should take all that into consideration. I should build up first and talk about trivial shit (like what's your favourite hobbies etc) before talking about sex . Which is the uncomfortable part of this whole process.

@Knowledge Hoarder lol what should I say next time ? Should I gradualy lead the conversation to sex or be explicit about what I want from the beginning? Apparently the latter didn't work very well.

True . Any suggestions ??

Idk lol. I might came off as creepy .

@JonasVE12 thanks

I was listening to Leo's how to get laid series and I had an idea..... I will start a challenge with myself ..talking to one girl at least every day. It can be anywhere ..the mall..at work..etc...the goal is not to date her or get her number..of course that's what you are aiming for after all..but the action of going and talking to her is enough of itself. So..every day...you go out..you find the most beautiful girl..you go to here and say hi... You compliment her and you say that you are attracted to her.. if she says yes..cool..if she says no..it doesn't matter..you didn't fail..the goal is to go and talk to her..one girl..per day. Who's with me???

@Michael569 @Osaid @Carl-Richard While we can all agree that sugar isn’t exactly a health food, there’s a lot of misinformation about how sweet stuff should factor into your diet. if at all. For instance, are some types of sugar healthier than others? And will cutting it out really put me on the fast track to losing weight, easing acne, staving off mood swings, or any other health woes?

So I approached another girl last night and she rejected me. I took the plunge and finally asked her out. My heart was racing, myhands sweaty…i thought she was sure to say yes. But she didn’t. In a split second, all my dreams were shattered. Okay, maybe it wasn’t that dramatic, but I’m sure it still hurt to hear it. Lesson learned...: Don’t let your ego trick you into thinking this is a challenge and you have to win her over immediately. I’ll let you in on a little secret…women enjoy being chased. But sometimes, that’s all it is.

Masturbation is not the best activitey to spend your time and energy doing . But let's face it..almost every male on the planet masturbates. We've come to realize that it has the potential to destroy our lives if we overdo it. If you are going to masturbate..there is a less damaging ways to do it. 1- once a week. Between each masturbation session (ejaculation) ..make sure there is a gap of time at least 7 days. Your testosterone gets to a peak level every seven days you don't ejaculate. If you ejaculate twice a week or more..you will feel drained..tired and lazy for a good couple of days. And I explained in other threads why this is. 2-don't edge. Just finish it. Edging is the worst thing you can do. It fucks with your fluids in the reproductive system and urinary system. You are Basically fucking with your pelvic muscle..making it weaker. You are opening it (come on baby we're gonna cum now....oh no just kidding). Now your pelvic muscle will open by itself..randomly..causing frequent urination. You will go to the toilet all the fucking time. Also ..edging causes hard friction on the penis..makes your penis sore ..desensitized . Edging can cause prostate proplem if done for so long. This is only the physical harms ..not to mention how it affects your brain ..elevating dopamine levels for so long. Makes you numb to the constant touch of your hand..yes..ED. don't edge..just bust that nut and move on. 3- be gentle. Your dick is not made out of metal..it can't take any level of pressure and friction for any amount of time.stop "beating your meat". Don't use a tight grip. Don't do it super fast. Use a lube to reduce the friction .And after you finish..flush it with cool water on the penis. 4-don't watch porn. No need to explain the obvious. And finally.. it's better to not masturbate at all..You are basically fucking yourself for no reason. You don't need it.. you don't want it. You are just addicted to it and doing it out of habit.

I don't get it Talking to people about this makes me feel like i am literally talking to robots. What is happening right now, like what is this exact fucking moment? it is LITERALLY there. RIGHT NOW! THIS!? Talking to someone about this topic makes me feel either like: 1- i am totally insane, which by now i know i am not. why? because the fact is that this MOMENT is happening RIGHT FUCKING NOW, and for some reason people don't get it.. 2- the other person/persons are totally insane. why? because they are not noticing the FUCKING SIGNIFICANCE of FACT that this MOMENT is happening RIGHT FUCKING NOW, and THEY are IN IT TOO. I need help, i have been stuck on this question for a lot. i mean, ALOT. What is...... THIS? by THIS i mean Literally EVERYTHING. How can i answer this question myself? it feels impossible. Why? Because THIS is literally IMPOSSIBLE, How can this moment EXIST? Now I have had multiple awakenings in the past but I sense that I'm missing something.. What could it be ? What could it be? What could it be ?

All of the stuff that any self help person talks about, all these spiritual teachers, every finding within every religion, every scientific field, every single thing that anyone including myself talks about here and otherwise is just noise to your own path, its not the "truth" regardless as to how much anyone wants to believe it is the case. At the end of the day they're just beliefs contradicting the present moment and to the extent that is the case, the extent that said beliefs should probably be questioned. The idea of it being hollow -undefined. Being is just "it" - it's not nothing or everything, it just fucking "is"....it's outside of language and everything else.

Why isn't nothing possible ? Why would there be stuff ..?Why do you think the existence of something is necessary?

So you are basically saying existence is eternal and has always existed. True? But doesn't that lead to the infinte regression problem? As Aristotle said there must be the first cause or the unmoved mover ? Or is that also some bullshit?

@Closed how to get to that heaven ?

So one piece of fruit every 24 hours is good to go ?

I like it ?
