It takes balls to own up to your mistakes. If anything, people will respect you more if you do.

Hell yeah 🔥🤙 Mine was ages ago but what I remember most is that it seemed as if I was in a big wind canal, zero sense of falling. And a massive headache after.

If you're looking for a relatively lightweight, cheap and solid 1-person tent: Grand Canyon Richmond 1. Perfect for trekking and biking and costs around 100 bucks.

@AION I couldn't watch more than one second of this video. Seriously, what are you gonna learn from a bunch of drama queens?

And I gave you an example.

What's there to deal with? Grab yourself by the balls and stop complaining, keep having fun with your women.

Getting your life together at 26 is actually early compared to a lot of people. The fact that you’re asking these questions now means you’re already ahead. Don’t let the feeling of regret paralyze you, channel it into action. If anything --> don’t waste more time thinking it’s too late.

What do YOU think?

You need to face your fears to build character. Work on yourself, don't fall for false comfort like "it's better to be a virgin than ending up without a meaningful relationship". It might help in the moment, but you will not stand the regret some months down the road. I can confirm what @TheGod said: when you're a virgin you will think you'll die as one. It's a mental block. Get out and give yourself time, but get the ball rolling.

Get a motorcycle already.

People who live life to the fullest embrace not knowing. Move your body and do something fun, you can not get out of this thought cycle by thinking your way out of it.

Not inherently. But in many 9-5 work settings, politics (spoken or unspoken) play a big role and dysfunctions are tolerated due to poor leadership. If someone doesn’t play those games or refuses to engage in gossip or alliances, others may treat them as an outsider. Hard work alone doesn’t always earn trust.

Ignorance is bliss, that's why. You're ignorant too, to some degree; look at your punctuation.

@Someone here From what you write it doesn't sound like the army is suited for you long term. Depends on where you're from, maybe you could do basic training to get that feeling of having to man up out the system and then do your own thing after. Also, to get more clarity around where you should be headed you could rent a van for a month, take your camping gear, tools and food with you and see what it takes to survive living in a remote area and then decide if you wanna invest more into this lifestyle.

@Yimpa Let’s swap locations, I’ll leave you my stash and existential problems, you leave me your lesbian friends and blue cat.

@Aaly I used to be extremely anxious cause of a very rigid and isolated upbringing. I was a virgin until 24 and was barely able to talk to people around me, even less girls. What helped me get started was actually posting on forums (like you're doing now), it's a form of putting yourself out there, and not too risky. As time goes by you will see you're being seen and appreciated as you are and become more comfortable in your own skin. Basically face your anxiety taking baby steps. You can just smile at someone walking past and keep practising that, even if they're not looking. Then take it further, say something short to a cashier like "hi how are you", etc. Move at your own pace, not your parents', not your friends' pace. Extroverts can make it seem like socialising and striking up conversations should be easy, but you gotta see they NEED interaction, even if it's just shallow and boring talk that people with more depth are simply not interested in. Here's an old but gold video for you:

Leo: Heeeeeey, this is Leo... Pope: ...and this is Leo. Both: And today we're gonna talk about how to make any nun squirt.

I'm just playing, my strange neighbor, you know je t'aime.

🤣👌

Why is smoking banned? Because of the smell? Switzerland prescribes it too, but they don't care how you consume it. Other than that it's still illegal, but more of a grey area since every second person uses it anyways. You are allowed to carry 10g for personal use even if you got it from the black market, but at the same time you are not allowed to have used it in the past.

@Yimpa 😂 love your weird humor

@Hojo @Thought Art It's the same with this forum, all about balance. It can enhance contemplation and creativity, if used in the right amount. And I guess it depends on where you live how it's been marketed. It's still illegal here and the only people who say it's harmless are addicts.

Leaving France might open your mind.

How?
