Sugarcoat

He seems like he holds this specific standard for males in particular, that is very high, and sees all else as loser mindset or something, so almost nobody met that standard for him, and it was in the heat of the moment he said it. But i get your point

I’m talking how he is in general based on what I seen. He expressed his views on the matter plenty times

He’s not like that

Maybe you mixed me up with someone because I’ve never taken hormones . I am on meds though but it’s not hormones I’m not sure why you think I give off that vibe 😹Maybe I sound a bit masculine in my responses because it sounds intellectual and cold or something (I tend to be very detached and stoic so yea maybe I am a bit masculine in some way)

I have talked to him personally and seen enough . Where did you get mtf from😹

It’s really important definitely. The mind and the energy body have such effect on the physical . I’ve experienced this myself. When you release tension and energy it heals inflammation all over, clearer skin and all, this I experienced

Congrats, but nobody can replace Noselfself, I just had to say it

Depends on what it does to your mind when you listen to it. I used to in my past maladaptive daydream to music so wanted to abstain from it to quit daydreaming and save myself time. But if you don’t do that and instead music does something like bringing you peace or help you focus then it’s positive. I do believe in the power of a dopamine detox though so if music gives you a high and you abstain I think there’s benefits. It’s like the brain is being forced to adapt to less stimuli, so eventually you’ll need less to get that dopamine, or the brain will be forced to find other ways to give that dopamine, like maybe you start singing yourself to replace the music.

David Goggins is a great thinker for me

Deepest existential question

It requires strength to laugh at misery when you’re in the midst of it

Its what it seems they are saying in this thread

Lmao what😹 did “he” ? I know “he” liked me as a person but not beyond Also I’m confused because candle sent me a private message about a disagreement between “him” and buck edwards so for me it seemed like two people. If not then that’s crazy lengths they went to pretend

Same

Yea. That says enough

Nice

I would do the same, only telling people who seem interested, or if they ask. I don’t think speaking about it necessarily sounds like you wanna be more interesting, if someone takes it like that it suggests to me they are insecure

Yea

Who knows

I feel neutral most of the time so that makes some sense. Maybe those upset, euphoric, manic states are more stressful thus require more energy Is it supposed to make me tired? I don’t feel that at all

That feeling is there to push you to become something more. You could see it that way and use it to fuel you. Or if you want to settle down for mediocrity that’s fine too

I can relate to this. When we identify as a person who is a certain way or does something it becomes like a self fulfilling prophecy so we’re more likely to gain momentum and maintain it

I see you’re being scientifically rigorous

64: I try to make interesting, different and substantial contributions in the forum in general. It’s like I’m trying to squeeze out some nugget of wisdom from my brain and when I manage to do it, it feels like I’ve produced a little masterpiece, not to sound pretentious. For me it doesn’t always come easy, I need to sit and think to come up with a response, and I like to make it a little unique to add something new to the conversation. It starts of as a little thought that expands into something more elaborate. I wonder how it works for others.

People might have some hippie or monk stereotype in their head that is about mumbo jumbo spirituality and mental masturbation armchair philosophical existential questioning. And they judge this stereotype and associate it with you when you say you practice meditation. There can also be an inferiority complex involved where they feel threatened by these people who go deeper like “how dare you be deeper than me”, as if there’s a complex about their own depth and how interesting they are as a person.
