Cool I am trying to improve my diet and my goal is to incorporate more vegetables and it being the dominant part of my diet so it’s not too far off from yours Its good you’re able to notice how your body feels and use that as guide to how you eat. I remember in far past when I had some joint ache and I also found that eating a lot of gluten made me feel it more, so yea there’s probably something to it

I find different school of thought when it comes to nutrition interesting. What would you say has helped you the most from Ayurveda?

It’s a result not cause

I think so too. You say “not doing” but don’t you think taking action is necessary like initiating convo and going up to people or do people just come to you?

How do you get a lot of friends 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

I have found positive visualization to be able to armor against negative thinking (although it can have backsides too when it’s excessive) Yes and the discontentment you feel can sometimes be used to motivate you do to better too, but it can also be toxic ofc so ideally you’d be driven by other mindsets That’s cool! I think it’s good to do things that involve the body and movement

What do you eat if you don’t mind?

I read this but didn’t pause to respond Getting rid of neurosis I think also requires mindfulness and self awareness which some lack The best combo is the inner work combined with the outer exposure, it’s like they catalyze each other (chemistry student pun🤓) I feel socialization maybe becomes less useful concept if you apply it to all objects

Some kinds of intelligence you will develop through interaction rather than developing them on your own then being “prepared” for interaction Maybe it is possible to rid all your social neurosis even in solitude, but I’d say it’s much harder than simply exposing yourself to social situations Unfortunately when you feel awkward in yourself it’s reflected in your behavior so every time you enter interaction you’re putting yourself at risk of experiencing that awkwardness directly Its hard and discouraging but you have to go through those awkward moments to eventually get in touch with that authentic flow in you where you finally feel comfortable (and sometimes if you don’t enter that flow it could be you two just don’t click, it’s possibility) Its like when you see woman your mind will be active, on one hand it will think of something to say, and it will imagine bad scenarios, and your awkward self image might start to feel amplified, you’ll think of going up to her but you’ll also be hesitant You wanna try to follow those impulses that lead you to her. For now it might be hard to shut of that other stuff blocking the flow, but you don’t have to do that directly, by following those interactive impulses it will grow the chance of you getting into that appropriate flow and it will challenge those other thoughts and “take over” Im a noob socially but im struggling with this too and here are some thoughts

I don’t think it’s unethical but I just have a hard time believing someone can feel genuinely good doing it.

I think in life, if you find yourself in a desperate situation economically, for example you’re a student who applies to jobs but you get none except sales or something that you feel isn’t truly aligned with your values, then it’s okay to take such a job and understand that it’s a part of your path to something greater, it’s not your ultimate destination. For example I’ve worked at fast food restaurant, I don’t think it’s particularly unethical because it’s a personal choice to consume such food, but it still isn’t something I’d wanna work with long term because I find it doesn’t provide any value in society. Sales has a similarity, sure most of it isn’t high conscious but it still is a personal choice to buy the stuff, even if they’re being manipulated. As I said you can see it as temporary stepping stone towards something greater in your path. I think it’s possible to do conscious sales, but then it requires that the product/service you’re selling is high conscious (let’s say something like a good supplement). And also that the method you’re using to sell is authentic, and that is something you can notice if you’re doing yourself, in particular if you’re not personally attached to making sales so you’re less likely to be deceived by your own bias. Also another factor is in the production process of the product. A product can be “high conscious” and of genuine value but be produced in a way that harms the planet and exploits poor people. So then I cannot rank it as much high conscious anymore. So it’s different factor. Bottom line i think it’s okay to play into the system to a degree as long as you are working towards something higher conscious long term (if that’s your inclination, it’s ok to be normie too)

I’m a little confused sometimes about makes people not end their life. It’s like, I’m not the only one who struggles, yet all people who struggle don’t get suicidal thoughts. There are even people going through worse than me who don’t consider suicide. Sometimes when my suicidal thoughts get stronger I can spend hours researching suicide methods. I even bought some things I could use to kill myself but I haven’t used them yet. Sometimes I feel “I could keep living through this” But then other times I feel, I have no will to keep fighting for life. I should just end it. It would be better So I don’t understand how other people don’t feel like this when they struggle. Am I extra weak? I mean I think I’m like the average person when it comes to how much I can tolerate. Or maybe not. I don’t know. I guess I just lack a strong enough reason to live Like some people have let’s say family they are attached to, and it keeps them wanna live. But I don’t have that, I don’t love anyone at all so I have nobody to live for. It’s like all I have is my own mind. Im stuck inside of this brain 24/7. All I have access to is a comforting thought that can give me some strength. But then my mind gives up and wants to end it all. It oscillates like that Edit: I should probably answer my own question. Why don’t I kill myself? Well mostly because my situation is not like absolutely unbearable yet, so I feel I can stand it for some time ahead. Also I am afraid of a failed attempt and the pain it can cause for example you could get permanent injury. Thats it mostly. Regarding the first point. I hear stories about people going through unbearable things, so they go through it even if it’s absolutely unbearable, I don’t know how they do. Suicide must have crossed their mind at some point

Spot on. It takes work to take ownership of yourself and create change

I was on olanzipine for a year starting with 10 mg a day then lowered to only 5 mg a day. I noticed no difference except that it made me sleep more and maybe a slight numbing I quit it cold turkey with no withdrawal effects Weird that it didn’t affect me much. Maybe it was too low dose or I’m just built different

Some songs do that to me yes, but I’d say sexyy reds songs have more been simply catchy and even a bit funny to me. Songs that stimulate my ego tend to be different than hers What you mean the family 😭

I’ve tried to run as hard as I can but over 50 times I stop before that David Goggins level of kidney failure . 99 % people are like that

Hallucination

I’ve been thinking this. I think he is one of the coolest humans on this earth right now. I wouldn’t wanna do like him though practically , I couldn’t push myself to that level. One has to have a dying desire to do it, which I don’t have and I don’t wanna have. What I mean is that I’ve listened to his interviews where he has told in detail about his worst training experience. This man once ran so hard he got kidney failure, pissed blood and broke all the bones in his feet simultaneously. Basically he put himself willingly into a “torturous” experience that felt like “the brink of death” (his own words) But that is what is required to be able to have his mentality. Because he lives how he speaks, otherwise it would be empty words and he couldn’t probably fake that certainty. His way of talking, a normal human can’t talk like that, it comes from a one in a billion mindset and grit. But there’s this value to be gained from listening to him even if you’re not gonna be like him. He is all about discipline, we can get inspired to move in that direction to a certain degree that feels reasonable to us. My biggest take away from him is his ability to persevere and stay calm in suffering. We are designed to move away from suffering, but he manages to do the opposite, to move towards it in order to gain something positive from the other side of it. I think it’s the hardest thing a human can do. And we all will face suffering so there’s value in trying to change our relationship to suffering and trying to find a way to persevere through it, if we decide to keep living through it. Extreme athletes in general inspire me a lot. For example someone like Faith . It’s very satisfying to watch in a way. The special thing about running is that long distance running, when it comes to the elite level, is basically about one thing: your ability to persevere through suffering. That’s why i think it’s one of the coolest sports and I have huge respect for people in it. I run and push myself too, when you feel in your body how hard it is and you imagine there’s people that go wayyyy harder, it’s just astounding.

I can’t judge because I had sexyy red on my Spotify wrapped 😭

New hinge bio 🤣

Once I had this deep spiritual experience and cried to this Moroccan song for some reason 😂

Sexual awakening 🤣

I’m like that too i can change my mind

I think women are generally more emotional and more expressive in their emotions. But I think men cling just as much to their beliefs, they cling to a certain self image they wanna have. They might even be more likely to develop hatred/resentment to people. So all those things can cause reactivity, but they way men express it might make it seem they’re less reactive

I don’t know enough people to know if that’s true or not
