Lol I have experienced similar situations and this was usually the cause. Tension like that has this tendency to put you into a kind of autopilot fight or flight response which makes you eject yourself from the situation without even really consciously deciding to do it. Your mind just sort of does it.

What is it supposedly that is so essentially different about white Europeans? The success of Europeans could easily just be because of the climate and nature of European geography enabling the success of those cultures more so than in harsher areas of the world, and the people who were living there just happened to be white. Or it could just be dumb luck and chance. Or any other number of chaotic factors that aren't genetic advantage. Being so certain that Europeans became the dominant culture simply because of their genetics is silly. At various points in the past, the world's majorly successful empires were all over the world. You can also take humans of any race and raise them properly and get healthy functioning adults capable of operating in more or less any culture or environment.

At the small company I work for we actually had to ban him because he tried to use our service, lol. From what I know of him (not that much), he is a heavy white supremacist and has been banned from almost every platform online for hate speech. I don't really think you need to say much more? Platforms like YT are pretty tolerant of conservative/right-wing opinions, you need to have some really extreme views to get banned. I think he is also fairly anti-women. I remember reading somewhere that he was opposed to women being allowed to vote although I don't know how accurate that is. He's also a stout Christian as well, right? And very much against other religions. I don't know why you would want to support such an intolerant person. There are far better conservative role models out there By all means explain his virtues here, but I suspect it will be tough.

It’s a slightly cringy quote from a cartoon but it resonated with me a lot: ”When we are at our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change” War is in a lot of cases a good example of this

Yea I can confirm that LSD tends to increase my anxiety while I’m high and for a few days after. Overall I can’t really tell if it’s helped or hindered anxiety big picture

It sounds like social anxiety. Or at the very least you are similar to me. I was also bullied and also grew up mostly playing games rather than socialising. And I feel like I’m in a similar spot to you where even validation from others doesn’t help me overcome the root anxieties I can’t really offer you a great solution if I’m honest, because I haven’t found one. It does help to force yourself to socialise and re-wire your brain to not be scared of people and expressing yourself to them I’ve been focusing for that on the past year and I do feel like I’ve made progress. I think it’s a long journey but as long as you keep taking action you will make progress. That is my plan, anyway Good luck my man. You sound like a decent dude at your core, you shouldn’t be worried about people judging you. Just learn to be you around others and fuck the consequences

@eos_nyxia Lots of guys are so starving for female attention that they get invested in new girls ridiculously quickly A short casual conversation online with you can be interpreted by a desperate guy as far far more investment from you than what you intended it to mean. So in their head when you ghost them it’s almost like a betrayal But the root issue is with them, not you

Sounds like it was good riddance anyway. I know it still hurts, though. Straight up ghosting anywhere beyond a first date is almost always extremely selfish

If it’s just some random dude you met online don’t feel bad. He’s getting ghosted left right and centre. But yea, after you’ve actually met up a few times and built a connection, ghosting is really rude and you should never do it at that point

To give you some sense of a typical ghosting rate for online dating for a guy, I get more than one message in about 50% of all my matches. About 20% are a short convo and then a ghost. About 10% I’ll get socials, and maybe 5% will go on a date. So about a 95% ghost rate. These are crude estimations but they’re close enough to make my point From what I gather this is pretty standard. Real life ghosting rate is prob a little bit less but I don’t really do getting socials/numbers in real life that much so I can’t say for sure. But whatever the case it’s still a lot. So you gotta get used to that shit as a guy and not get butthurt over it

As someone who’s done a lot of online dating, I’d rather be ghosted than lead on I understand it’s not always so cut or dry, sometimes you’re just seeing how things go and aren’t sure if you’d actually take things further But if you have no intention of going any further with a guy, just ghost them or politely move on. No matter how nice or polite they are

You sound very similar to me. I have received a lot of validation too but it never seems to stick and fix the core anxieties. I think what you have is likely just a very bad case of social anxiety. It’s most likely what I have too. I wish I knew the solution, honestly. Couple questions; Were you bullied as a kid? Are there ever times where you don’t feel like you have these anxieties about expressing yourself?

Lengthy, detailed communication is for later in the dating process. At the start you should be sending short, playful, fun messages. You shouldn't be that invested. Why is it that you care so much? So what? Just move onto the next girl. Girls will ghost you for any number of random reasons. It isn't their responsibility to make sure some random dude online doesn't get his feelings hurt, they have their own shit to care about.

I think he was being sarcastic

I could maybe see a micro dose being a good idea if you’re already an experienced tripper. But that’s about it. Anything more I’d bet $100 it ends badly. In my personal experience acid makes me just apocalyptically bad at expressing myself. And I get quite anxious when there is pressure/attention on me and I’ve taken a decent dose of acid.

I know one of the most common and dangerous combos is LSD and certain anti-depressants, but as far as I’ve heard SSRIs are alright. They supposedly dampen the high though. Please do your own research on this rather than relying on forums however. I have not researched this much, it’s just based on stuff I’ve heard and could be completely wrong. One of the disadvantages of psychedelics not being regulated is that you don’t always get a clean list of stuff you should never take them with, the doctor prob won’t tell you “don’t take acid when you’re on these anti-depressants or this medication” I’ve drank alcohol and been fine. Though the mix is not exactly complementary. It feels like the alcohol kills the acid effects a bit. Food is fine. Some people get nauseous on acid though and then food wouldn’t be ideal. I’ve eaten food and bad food and never had problems. Never tried caffeine really, don’t think it would cause any serious problems but the nausea/anxiety caffeine causes may be an issue for you

These women are probably not even going to tell you they have a BF even if you ask, so it makes no difference. If a girl wants you to leave her alone and she has a BF, that's going to be her immediate excuse, you don't need to do any digging or asking about it I mean it doesn't hurt you to ask if the girl has a BF. It simply isn't necessary, because if she is in a happy committed relationship she will tell you quickly and then you leave her alone Maybe it's worth it if you think she is leading you on, but again, in that case she would likely just lie. IMO it's better to just assume the girl is single until she tells you otherwise. It's smoother. Then again I mainly talk to girls out at night where the chance of them being single is probably substantially higher

It is something you need to be careful with so the caution is sensible. Honestly your best bet is to go out to a club or something and ask around for numbers. I’ve gotten a few numbers this way

Don't ask, if she has a boyfriend and you are trying to flirt with her she will tell you she has a boyfriend

Never buy anything from anyone online anywhere that doesn't have reviews. The dark web is reliable because any source you use will have reviews, and any good market will use an escrow system so if you don't get what you buy, the seller doesn't get their money. This is another reason never to buy psychedelics over the clearnet, it's almost always a scam unless you use it to arrange a meetup in person.

It would take some next level confidence to pull that off at most of the clubs I go to hahahaha It helps reduce the creep factor significantly as well. It transforms pickup into actually just becoming a sociable human being who wants to have a good time

Where are you going that you need to wear a suit? Lol Go to a bar or a casual night club, way more chill vibe, way more fun A good way to do solo is to make some guy friends when you first go in. Just talk to lots of people instead of focusing on talking to girls

i don’t blame you. But chill, you’ve got this my man. Take a break and let yourself detach from the situation. Trust me, it helps.

Man I go through weird phases with girls too. It’s never consistent. Sometimes I do great, sometimes I do awful and I get frustrated as hell. I don’t know why You’re talking to a decent amount of girls so you’re doing something right. Just keep meeting new girls and you’ll get through this period of frustration

Obsession with respect is usually a pitfall. Why do you care whether people respect you? if they don’t just move on and look for others who do. Don’t let it anger you. It reflects more on them than it does on you I’d bet most guys get heavily frustrated with girls at some point in their life. But then you can also look at the horrors that some guys bring upon some girls (and it’s not that rare) and you realise both genders are shitty to each other in their own ways. Guys don’t have it that bad all things considered
