^same with psychotherapy though, you pay the people to listen to you

we're also partly animals after all

yea but it's always transactional you'll always know that she's just talking to you because you pay her

i've tried it in some ways it's not an antidote to social anxiety in anyway shape or form but it can give you some simple sexual confidence, like how long you can go, which positions you know, how many times and so on it also can become a bad habit

yea i do often treat such things as experiments also my critical-ness might be a reason why it's not working for me since it may all be placebo and that only works if you believe in it but it's hard to be non-critical when you are i can lay the tarot cards for ya how much would you pay for that experiment?

with the protests we learned that people don't just accept anything and might fight back you can hate and ridicule that but i think there's beauty in that

there are quite many people who offer it here it seems but i haven't tried it (yet) i'm also very critical of people who are taking money from desperate people for mental other health issues maybe too critical sometimes

personally i only do it in really stressful situations or when i'm especially anxious and want short time relief, one round can be enough for that the cold showers aren't necessary for the breathing technique, i used to do the cold showers but stopped because of neck pain and chronic fatigue, drained my body too much often but many people looooove the cold showers

Had a pretty stressful day and had to go talk to my boss about my other boss, stuff that i'm not agreeing with which easily could backfire. Went to the office to see if the boss is there to talk to him. Had really bad mood and started to get really anxious and almost hyperventilating, my mind just doing obsessive though loops (what it tends to do in stressful situations) Remembered the Wim hof breathing technique which i haven't done in a long time Did it and felt good. Went to the boss and the talk went smooth, really relaxed. So keep it in mind for interviews etc. if you're prone to anxiety.

isn't that normal anyways though? when you get touched or almost touched in certain areas you get certain reactions. armpit noooo ticklish hehe, throat a bit uncomfortable don't strangle me, thighs yess now we're in the good area, whats' about to happen

get a new phone maybe you're just getting more aware of your surroundings

i'd say you shouldn't that's basically the same answer i'll give to anyone if they ask me if they should take such and such substance

^yea but for me it's just a short term solution not a long term did it one year multiple times a day when i went to a school which i found very stressful but i didn't get any long term benefits only short term relaxation for like 30 mins - 70 minutes

your fond memories of the time you ate a bag of chips and watched re-runs of a silly sitcom?

unfortunately nobody can really tell you if this would help you or hurt you in the long run. it could go either way. it's not an absolutely great way to gain skills with a woman i'd say.

how many of us are awake? well there's only one that's why it's called non-duality hihi j/k

If everyday you could only listen to the same talk/video/guided meditation or read the same section of a book to get you into the "right" mindset for the day whatever might happen on that day just work, nothing, job interview, a difficult talk, a stressful situation, vacation which talk/video/meditation/ book section would you choose?

it started to give me anxiety and took all my motivation so it had to go was very easy to quit for me too, from almost everyday to no thanks only sleeping became harder

even though bernie might be old or dead by then, we'll just put sunglasses on him and still get him elected

the last of the stories is a nice guy though imo so i took a cab and brought him home i remember one time we went to a festival as a big group, he had a ticket, i had a ticket but not everybody of the group had a ticket. but even though he had a ticket he didn't enter the festival until everybody of the group had a way to get into the festival even though he could have just said, i'm sorry guys i have a ticket see you inside

And i'm not talking about social settings, more so on the street, at a store, train etc.?

one time (a long time ago) i was at a club (and i was high on mdma so i probably gave of a care free non needy vibe) and a woman came to me, never seen her before, she said "give me your phone" then she typed her number in. really loved that but she had a bf so that wasn't very cool

i actually would and have but in my small-ish city there aren't many cool meetup.com groups edit: and also is it not a bit creepy to go to such groups in hopes to meet let's say mostly women (not in a conquest type way just "normal" whatever that means)
