    Or I could have more friends and far better social skills

    Like 90%+ of people who party in uni don't end up addicted to anything or ruining their lives, they have a great time, make friends and let loose

    Also who takes opiates at a party? Is that a thing anywhere? It's mostly coke + weed I see and neither appeal to me at all really

    true you're right people don't take much opiates at parties aside from codeine maybe

    see you're smarter than me, going to college and not partying a lot already paid out

    well i just tried to cheer you up son

    And then you ground those emotions through your spine and legs right into the earth. That's acceptance and non-attachment which when done enough and consistently will release the negative emotions permanently. Eventually you will remain open when this happens and your heart does not close down anymore. And when this happens, you will notice people reacting differently and almost never will there be anyone that reacts unfriendly to you. 

    The same for girls sitting on a bench. You look at them, you keep looking, and you accept it through the body. You feel the tension and ground it. You try to not constrict the flowing energy through the body. You let it be flowing through the heart, pelvis, legs. And do this again consistently until it releases permanently. Of course in the beginning you will be reactive and not dare to be fully vulnerable, but you will gain that strength the more you try. Developing a grounding practice is also powerful because it works with getting the energy away from your head to your legs and feet. That's confidence. 

    You can apply this proces with everything in life. The most you do it, the bigger your life will be. 

     

    do you happen to have some sources with more info on this "technique"?

    Not taking advantage of any social opportunities in university/college

    I spent ~3 years of it in a mediocre relationship doing nothing socially, and the remaining year was fucked up by covid

    I ended up leaving having not connected with a single new person at uni in 4 years. Don't be like me

    it could have been worse.

    you could have parties a lot in uni, then get addicted to opiates at a college party.

    and now ask people for a buck. feeling agony when you don't get your dose.

    Yea, I can guarantee that $300 a month are not good anywhere. Like I said food prices there are same to the ones in US. Some things like nuts and fish are a lot more expensive there. Same thing with clothes, electronics, gas prices, supplies, hydro  - or you think they get some kind of discount there? That is why I can't talk to westerners, they are naive and say stuff as if they were 3 year old children. 

    but also many people in the 3rd word etc. think that life in the west is perfect.

    that there are no problems, everybody can get a great job

    they don't understand that things are expensive, as i said my mandatory health insurance for example costs 450$, don't pay it get fined 

    also often there aren't real family structures in the west

    often they don't even think about the weather and then they hate it and get depressed and become criminals

    not saying it's bad obviously i'd rather stay here than there

    Westerners have no idea of what struggle even is. Imagine feeding your family and surviving with food prices close to western (some foods more expensive), minimum monthly full time job pay of $230 USD and average monthly pay of $300-400 USD?

    Again, people living there would feel like they won a jackpot if they had what US has. Especially the young generations, who know how to use the internet, who speak English or any other language, who were able to travel a bit maybe, who see how the rest of the world lives. Older generations live in fog, they don’t know what’s out there, 99% never travelled outside of the Soviet Union, if even outside of their city (50 years ago when they were young), they believe whatever the TV says. 
     

    well i'm living in western europe and i wouldn't really want what the u.s. has

    too much division, too much crime, not enough social institutions, too much craziness etc.

    although it's surely a beautiful country, especially the landscapes

    I can't speak of that because I didn't exist in the 80s.

    I think women back then felt safe because they mostly stayed in the house. 

    Now most women go out. This has increased the crime rate.

    Also in older  India, there was a huge influence of religion which meant that most men were scared to touch a woman, rape would have probably been considered ungodly. This is just my speculation. 

    Today the influence of religion is wearing thin. Social pressure on men is wearing thin. Society is getting more sociopathic as the hold of  religion is vanishing. 

    India is traditionally a very religious society. So religion played a fundamental role in maintaining ethics in ancient India. 

    But today, all of that religious pressure is gradually disappearing. So people feel free to commit crime without feeling any pressure to answer their religion/God. Now the untamed nature is coming out. 

    The recent wave of westernization in India bought feminism which is good but also porn and western Barbarism and violence which is ruining India, they see western stuff on TV and then they want to try that stuff here. Obviously because of a poor law enforcement system, these nefarious things are not controlled or regulated. 

    India's recent crime rate has a lot to do with westernization and loss of touch with god/godliness/spirituality. 

     

    i also think it has to do with the internet.

    when you're living in a more "closed" society country

    and you see hot womens and porn on the internet, that's not a good mix

    Travel in India is not safe unless you are staying for a short time. If you are a woman from another country traveling in India, get your boyfriend or some bodyguard with you. 

    Rape is a rampant problem in India and sociopathy towards women is not actively discouraged, men simply talk about it.. 

     

    seems like the rape issue is more of a recent thing (last decades)

    my mother was in india in the early 80s and felt very safe there as a woman, even travelling alone often

    i also generally felt safe there

    @PurpleTree Yeah, a bunch of them..

    Weed is one of them I think, maybe quitting swimming when I was 12, or maybe not making more music through jr high and high school.

    I would have liked to have socialized more in highschool, dated more girls, avoided toxic relationships, knew I was lovable the whole time, been more social with student council, done better in math... made more art... smoked weed in a responsible way with people... 

    Regrets though don't really make sense.... All these things were part of my process to becoming who I am becoming. 

    In my darkest of days I dwell on a lot of regrets but they don't have much room where I am going except to be fully felt and integrated.

    If it wasn't for trauma and dysfunctional parenting a lot of those things wouldn't have happened... So I take it easy on myself..

    Love my mistakes to death.

    me too, on a good day i love all of it 

    on a bad day i don't at all

    @PurpleTree I mean I’m glad that at least the whole Nazarbayev’s clan maybe will now get exposed and the World will know that people are struggling to find money to get gas while the amount of money that’s he’s been stealing from the county over the course of 30 years is probably enough to sustain him for the next 10 generations 

    Do you think Kazakhstan is ready for democracy?

    I mean democracy is always also a struggle as you see in the west

    and it's very sensitive to being influenced by outside forces (or inside)

    and it goes back and forth

    Things like the highspeed railways in China on that scale probably wouldn't have been possible in a western country for example

    everything has pros and cons

    but when you have corrupt leaders and an authoritarian regime it seems worse
