Abstract much? Offer specifics at least.

Great find. I like the calm voices of the interviewer and interviewee. Clearly, a stage orange personification.

A good take on boosting productivity.

Thank you for answering.

It's just a matter of time. The thought will leave and it's going to be replaced by another one that you'll desperately want gone too and on and on it will go. Such is life. Try to enjoy it.

@Preety_India, Out of curiosity, why do you like sharing your private affairs on the Forum?

Hahahahahaha. Don't wait for people to tell you how to live your life. Go out there and figure it out for yourself by trail and error.

I agree with you @JohnD, so what exactly would you do if you were in her shoes?

I agree with you.

The empathy is touching, but indecisive to the matter at hand. I don't sleep with someone because I feel sorry for them. Other people could pity-fuck whomever they like, it's up to them. And btw, if he stalks her, then that's the price you have to forcibly pay for being in such a society, even if you were born there and have no easy choice to make. Sorry, but life's not fair all the time. I live in Egypt, and I have to pay a hefty price for being in such an under-developed cesspool.

Man, this brings a tear in my eye. Well said.

The issue is not just her mom. That would be unfair. This is an Indian Tradition that prolonged for generations: Arranged Marriage. This convention was and still to this day prevalent in the East. My advice: If you want to ignore him, do it sneakily and try not to provoke your family as it would result in more turbulence than there already is. Good Luck.

Interesting.

That sucks dude, I hope she gets better and for you to have a more fulfilling life. I don't recommend gaming as a form of escapism at all. But that's my personal opinion. I'd say, get out of the house when she's asleep, walk/drive around town. Clear your head. It's also healthy to get some fresh air and to move your body to get your blood circulation running. Read a book, listen to relaxing music, and stay strong. That's what I can think of off the top my head.

Perfect analogy.

I'm curious too.

I watched it too. I think it was a train-wreck.

Daddy Leo scolding the hell out of Kids.

You're welcome.

I agree with @Carl-Richard, what you're experiencing right now is cognitive dissonance, which is totally normal for a human being to have when they try to become relatively & aggresively conscious. Don't let the self-bias take over entirely, but don't push yourself too hard to be conscious that you reach a boiling point to drop the dissonance totally and become unconscious of your actions and other people's actions. Instead, acknowledge the fact that sometimes you gotta take a break from neutrality and become consonant with your egoic identity because that's what it takes to survive, but also plug back to critical thinking and awareness. This takes a lot of energy and practice, which is why a lot of people give into the ego completely and don't contemplate too much about what they're doing and what's going on around them on an existential level because they think it's very efficient not to do that, nevertheless that's a fallacy. Because eitherway, problems will always presist. So for you, It's a matter of what you want to choose accordingly. If you try to balance between bias and consciousness, it could be energy draining and it could sometimes be imperfect, and if you become extreme in either, it can also present problems. What's happening to you right now is that you're choosing your struggles and asking yourself, Do I want to be conscious? Do I want to be biased? Do I want to mix between the two? Do I want it to happen naturally (wishy washy)? And so on and so forth.

Start by asking yourself, why are you lonely? Is it because you don't have friends? Like Leo said, make new friends. If it's about self-worth issues you have had that impedes you from making friends, acknowledge that and try to solve them. How? That is a big question. I'm attaching a link of a therapy video where a young man, quite the same age as yours, faces troubles with loneliness and a psychiatrist tries to help him understand what the issue stems from and how to deal with it. You might resonate with/get inspired by this session, so watch the video entirely. Good luck.

Man. Leo is facepalming all over the place. Wrap it up, guys.

What the hell has he been doing for the past two months if not resting "at his own pace" in order to recharge his creativity quota? Besides, Leo will do what he wants, at the pace that he likes, don't you think for a second that Leo is always going to be uploading weekly vids all the time, he's "free" to do what he wants. For instance, he can take time for his book, do some more vids, do some research, rest, exercise, meditate, whatever he feels like doing. Don't worry, he's a big boy.

You're talking about Leo's intentions, prejoratively, from a financial prespective. What if he is working for a far greater purpose than retirement? What if he wants financial stability along with revolutionizing and changing the world? What if he enjoys helping people and doesn't mind the financial support that's reimbursed? I don't think retirement is the only thing Leo thinks about. If you watch and listen to Leo, you'll be able to realize that what I said is the case. Leo answers you in the timestamped video (Watch 5-10 mins):
