Shift focus to your strengths. When people mention it, joke about it. it shows confidence. You don’t need to compete with taller guys. Instead, focus on what makes you unique and attractive. Learn to own your space wherever you are. Doing MMA helped me build confidence, strengthen my boundaries with people, and become more assertive. It could be a good way to develop these qualities, so you might consider something like that. Remember, your value isn’t in your height. Focus on your personality, skills, and attitude. Those are what truly make you stand out.

Thanks for sharing, Pudgey! Your insights on DMT and Ayahuasca are truly inspiring. It's interesting how these substances can have such a unique impact on each person. Appreciate your wisdom! 🙏

Guys any tips?! I am in it right now.

Got it. That’s why I said I could perceive it as insulting. I’m just annoyed by this double standard. Technically, it was not more than 70μg.

@Terell Kirby I meant my response as a lighthearted joke, but I realize it might not have come across that way. I could see Leo’s response as insulting, and it’s disappointing to see someone needing to support that kind of rudeness toward a fellow member. Real maturity, right there! I’ll leave it at that.

And again... Right in the feelings...

My jokes aside, you could at least give us God toddlers some acknowledgment.

Osho, a one-of-a-kind expert at pushing people out of Stage Blue and much more. I gain knowledge by contemplating while dancing naked under the influence of shrooms.

Don't forget all the relationships you didn't have with hot girls because they were perceived as sinfull Wow, that's heavy. I remember talking badly about those friends with my mom, because we had "stronger belief than them". A nice coping strategy to make yourself feel better in your own misery. Yes, I feel like I needed that experience to hit rock bottom in order to find the ambition to rediscover my infinite nature. "That which wants to reach for the heights must first have roots that reach down to hell." F. Nietzsche He stated it beautifully.

I refuse to dismiss anything Leo says. At the same time, I refuse to blindly believe everything he says.

Reframing the statement "they didn't know better" to "they refused to look at themselves" feels like a healthier approach that holds them accountable for their actions. When I reach organic forgiveness, I will consider reframing it as you suggested. Yeah, you eventually get to a point where you think, "Okay, I’m probably going to hell for this... but I’m already in hell, so what’s the point?" And then the work begins. As I stated previously, this is a largely overlooked form of child abuse. Nonetheless, there are much worse stories I’ve read about, like burning kids' skin with fire to show them how "hell" feels. But yes, I remember having subtle panic attacks during simple bad weather, thinking the end of the world was coming...

@Exystem beautifully written. I didn’t know you were also raised as a Christian fundamentalist. We basically went through the same struggles when it comes to this.

Damn, I somehow missed that. Well, that calls for a celebration!

The problem with heavy trips is that they tend to leave me depressed for several weeks, sometimes without an apparent reason.

I get it. Try sitting down with her for a serious conversation, like I mentioned before, when the time is right.

Crazy you mention this. I’m just browsing for seeds now that it’s legal in Germany. Not sure if I’ll like it; it’s been years. Thanks.

I am currently reading Ken Wilber's "Integral Life Practice." His books are so damn expensive, and I'm still unsure what to think about the content.

Plugging sadly has zero effect in my case.

Hi @manuel bon, I'm sorry to hear about your situation, and I truly hope things improve for you. Having a disabled person in your household can be extremely exhausting for everyone involved, especially for the primary caregiver. It’s even harder when the primary caregiver doesn't recieve some kind of support. I'm also sorry that you kids have to experience this. it’s not an easy situation to live through. Try to push through this challenging time. When things stabilize, it might be necessary to talk with your mom about her condition, if she needs to get some help, and if she needs someone to talk to. Living in such an environment is unhealthy, and if she continues to handle everything alone 24/7, I’m worried that things might worsen over time.

No, I am Deadpool.

You’re so dark, are you sure you’re not from the DC Universe?

Practicing radical honesty. Writing a public journal helps me re-ground myself in the world. At times, I just want to be seen as smart, even if I don’t fully understand what I’m writing about. I’m aware of the game I’m playing, but for now, I need this. It’s my anchor.

Realizing absolute love can dangerously separate you from material reality. Maybe there is a misunderstanding or an incomplete understanding of this concept. You cannot make decisions in the material world based only on conclusions from an absolute perspective. Society often reacts harshly to those who do Just like what happened to Jesus This is my response. I will leave it there.

Being mindful and reacting according to the situation seems more intelligent.

I am certain I will not need much for a breakthrough either.
