Something Funny

I was referring to this. Imo, this argument is irrelevant. And you didn't mention any other reasons for why RO water might be "sub-optimal"

@Natasha Tori Maru@integral You know that the minerals you get from drinking water are a tiny fraction of what you get from your food, right? It's like 1% of your current daily mineral intake, lol.

Just through practice? Or will my brain always be very easily distractable?

No hate on him. But I just saw this video and wanted to share it. Do you think he is right? I feel like he is right in a sense that a lot of what he is saying about height, weight, looks, seems to come from his own direct experience of how he has been treated, even though he doesn't explicitly admit that. I don't think you get such negative views randomly and then randomly over-compensate by injecting steroids and becoming huge like a cow. He is clearly traumatized by his own life experiences. This was actual reality for him. All that is to say that you can choose to be an optimist and think positively. But the way attraction, looks, and dating work is pretty brutal and merciless in reality. And this is worsened by the social media brain rot and our low consciousness stage orange culture.

@Carl-Richard no it wouldn't. Because cave exploration isn't dumb.

@Carl-Richardit is "bad" in a sense that it is dumb as fuck.

Funny example of conformity - comments under cave exploration posts on reddit. I am 100% convinced that they are pure group think at this point. Every time there is a caving post, it's always the same hateful and derogatory comments about how dumb and unnecessary risky caving is, with literally zero thought to them.

I don't have a dedicated mental health practice. Or a routine in general. My life is a mess right now.

@Hojo thank you, great advise.

I want to know what lays in my near future. Like within a year from now. Mostly, I am interested in the areas of personal growth (including but not limited to spirituality), career, and romantic relationships.

I've been on a second date with this girl, and it went really well in general. The talking felt natural and smooth, moments of silence weren't uncomfortable, she initiated a lot of discussions. But I still am not sure if she is into me romantically or if she sees me as a friend. And I don't know how to properly break this barier of physical touch. Do I just take a risk and grab her hand? Do I ask her about it? Important note is that she is from my work place, so I am afraid of being too bold with her.

Exactly.

@cetusthats because your mom doesnt count

Good tip, thanks

@Sincerity at worst I will friendzone her and use her to build up my social circle to make myself more attractive to other girls. So its a win/win I guess.

Haha

I mostly just enjoy them for fun and out of curiosity. Like personality tests and such.

@Schizophonia, yo, what did you write? I am curious.

@Stickyou are the second person who has drawn lovers for me today, interesting... I woildn't say I feel confused, at least not in the present moment. I resonate with lovers and hermit description the most, I think. I knew it! I am so dead, haha

Bruh

@Stickgreat writing, but I want an actual readinggg

Ehh, okay, thank you.

So now they've lost your respect and you will never play it?

@Mada_if I were a girl, I would totally date you. Or if you were a girl... Btw, I have herpes on my lips and I am yet to have my first kiss. Funny

Thank you guys for your valuable advise. @Hojo @Sincerity @eliasvelez @eliasvelez @Spiral I like the idea of shoulder touching. And also open communication as the ice breaker. In general, I think that the root cause solution is for me to graw some ball and just chill and be myself. And I am kind of getting there because I am tired of pretending. I DONT KNOW, MAN! This is so dumb The first "meeting" was me texting her: "hey, do you want to go to a movie together? and she said yes. The second "meeting" was me texting her: "I would really love to go to a climbing gym together". And she also said yes. I've never explicitly said: "Hey, lets go on a date". If it's any indicator, her responses were always really enthusiastic. Like: "Ooo, I really wanted to see this movie" Or "Ooo, I am ready to go to a climbing gym on any day". But idk, maybe she is just a cheerful person like that. Also, yesterday after climbing we sat there and chatted for like 1+ hour, while drinking coffee. Which made me think that she actually enjoyed the meeting.
