Same. I think people underestimate how well the app gets to know you based on your swiping. If you're acting needy you get needy in return.

@John Paul These two videos have helped me. Basically, put yourself in as many social situations as possible, but start slow and give yourself a lot of time. You can always take one baby step towards more interaction from your current standpoint. Hairdressers are good to practice with.

@Leo Gura There's been a number of US-citizens who came here for assistance according to this organisation: http://www.dignitas.ch/images/stories/pdf/statistik-ftb-jahr-wohnsitz-1998-2021.pdf But I understand you need this in your own country.

We already have it for people too, though technically it's assisted suicide. It's illegal to euthanize another person (mercy killing). It's gotta be done by your own hand basically. https://www.exit.ch/en/englisch/faq/

What you essentially are has no attributes to it. This is God. What you think of as you is simply your experience (thoughts, emotions, senses, stories). This is your POV and it appears to/in that one thing. Mine appears in the same place, but your view must filter out mine, else you wouldn't identify as a human.

Which is why we need to get out of our heads with women

@Bob Seeker I used to do this but they will most likely never really be okay with it, even if they say otherwise.

When someone who just broke up gets involved with someone else without having emotionally healed first. They underestimate the impact a break up has on them. If you're just looking for fun, this is not going to be it.

@katewashere funfair it is then ??‍♂️

She sounds like she's looking for her future rebound. I'd cancel the date.

@katewashere And you can't go to the range without a membership in the UK?

Motorcycle racing, downhill biking and shooting helped me become hyper focused. I used to do weight lifting, now I mainly stick with bodyweight workouts as they're more suitable for my lifestyle.

So an arranged marriage is magically going to heal your mum's "suicidal" tendencies? Be honest. Only thing she's willing to sacrifice is your life. And now you're thinking of throwing your girlfriend away for your mum. She's going to have to deal with you making your own decisions. Which one will allow you to lead a healthier and more fulfilling life down the road? One is based on love, the other on fear.

Minoxidil should help. Make sure you regularly work out too and then give it a decade.

I think it's dope. Wonder if he's doing a video on it since I'm sure most of his audience uses/has used weed at one point.

@Razard86 Hm, you're right ?

You mature enough to say no to Christmas?

@Raze Cheers, I'll check it out ? @Lila9 That's sweet. Yeah, you're right, it did give me some relief ❤️ Sometimes it takes me years before I decide to get help, but this should get the ball rolling.

My whole life I dealt with life's challenges all on my own without my parents really giving a shit about me. Every instance when I tried to express myself authentically I was mocked for my (rather quiet) personality and put down for my passions and "sinful thoughts". A lot of bible bashing too. Whatever I loved doing was wrong or not good enough. They also managed to sabotage my relationships and get me to confess to masturbation. One time my mum was screaming at me for making out with the girlfriend I had back then. She was spying on us through my room's window and stormed in like the fucking Special Forces. My parents have always been isolated and only mingled with other cult members, who used to treat me the same so it was just what was normal for me and I became extra careful not to open up too much. I was brainwashed to the point of being terrified of questioning the belief system I was raised in even though many things just didn't make sense to me. But repeatedly being told I'll end up in the most torturous hellfire imaginable for eternity if I don't follow their rules and behave as I was expected, I saw as them looking out for me. When I finally mustered up the courage to leave their community they said this means I'm not going to be part of their family anymore. I kinda expected this might happen as I saw how others who left were shunned. Still, it was pretty shocking to hear this from my own parents. I thought I could leave this all behind six years ago, but lately more and more of this BS is coming up again, just on a deeper and more intense level. On top of this I realised last year my now ex is a narcissist. Has honestly been the shittiest year by far and there's only so much more I can take to function properly. I really underestimated how much love and compassion I missed out on as a child until recently. I think what I need is just someone to validate that my experience has in fact been very abnormal, because there's this constant battle between wanting to express my frustration and thinking that maybe I'm just overreacting because most people are too egotistical to care anyways. But I need to tell my life's story to someone who's actually interested and can get me a little more motivated about life. I've just been way too quiet and understanding of other people's perspective which put me in a pretty bad place mentally. So what forms of therapy do you think are worth trying out here?

Hey Johannes Depending on your personality type this could be perfectly normal. Do you remember unimportant details more? I used to have about the same level of disinterest in the external world and didn't remember exact labels either.

@Bad_anarchist Some didn't have the luxury of growing up in an environment that allowed them to mature as fast as you have. Call yourself lucky, well done ?

Thank you all, really appreciate it ? @Tyler Robinson Yes, the family dynamic is very narcissistic. My grandma actually fought off tanks as a young adult and my mum was beaten, so I can see where it all started. Sorry to hear you experienced abuse too, it can get pretty ugly. @IDressMyDog Re-parenting work resonates. I notice myself looking for healthy role models everywhere I go. @TheGreekSeeker Never heard of it, sounds interesting. I keep in touch with them every now and again, but generally limit contact to the minimum. Talking to them about this is actually impossible, let alone in the presence of a therapist. Even if it helped me, they wouldn't approve of me talking to anyone about any of this. I'll look more into systemic psychotherapy, I think this could benefit me a lot. Another thing I was thinking is booking some Tantra sessions just to heal limiting beliefs in the sexual area. Does anybody have any experience here?

@Carl-Richard Well put ? I'll have to contemplate on this a bit, but I think the coin in my ass is going to drop soon.
