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.

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

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. -
@Salvijus Same, I don’t even think their writing style is so similar
-
That may be true but then we have to take into consideration the quality of women that they attract. A woman who is primarily attracted to a man’s power, money, status, or for being a manipulative player will probably be more shallow, perhaps insecure in herself, immature. It’s similar to how a woman with good looks will attract more men, but those that are primarily drawn to her because of her looks will not be as high quality. So those people attract more in quantity, but not necessarily in quality

You mean that he had a bad childhood causing issues with self esteem which makes them overcompensate by trying to be for example smart and successful to gain self esteem? Or aquire wealth because they had little of it in childhood
-
Things like status and wealth can in some cases signal that the man has traits such as being ambitious, a leader, confident, charming, depending on how he acquired that status and wealth. So it’s like a woman might not be attracted to those things in and of themselves but rather what they signal about the man. Because it takes a special person to get to the top with status and wealth, although ofc not in all cases you can get there by being phony and exploitative too. A comparison could be like in high school if a popular guy is liked by many girls. Is he liked because he is popular or because of the traits that made him popular (for example charismatic and good looking)? Could be both. Because it can be like a boost to one’s own self image to have a successful partner. Same with having popular friends. And vice versa.
