Why?

Forcing yourself to like some song or album only because it’s by your favorite artist.

I think if the forum used serif font in certain parts it would look more consistent overall

I think its also about thinking meta

I think suffering is not enough on its own, because it can make me more resentful towards the one who makes me suffer, and I know theoretically the other is me, but I am not awake lol

Thank you great advice, when I talk about this with psychologists they only tell me to get over because its in the past, but that doesnt help me much

I think I have realized that sometimes my empathy is not optimal. This may be due to multiple experiences of people rejecting me because of my introversion—often, they say I'm boring because I don't drink or go to parties. I often don't care about those situations anymore; I simply remove myself from those social circles. However, I believe I have built a psychological barrier that makes it difficult to empathize deeply with people I care about, as it becomes hard for me to feel interested in their lives.

“How to win friends and influence people” is a very poor guide for social skills, I recommend “The social skills guidebook” by Chris MacLeod

How can I do this? I always struggle to be mindful throughout the day. I feel that I am forcing it

Well, I mean, even if you only meditate to the point of extreme boredom to access God, isn't there still some selfishness? in the end you do this to have a better life.

I still don´t get entirely how to practice spirituality without conflating it with survival, in the end, being here in this forum means that we seek God/Truth to endure better with suffering, accepting what it is, isn´t that also selfish?

Does anyone know if there are risks in combining these two techniques on the same day on a frequent basis?

I use the extension Dark Reader for dark mode, everything works fine https://darkreader.org/

Maybe Waking Up by Sam Harris?

I like the Merlin AI extension for chrome, I use it to remember some stuff i already watched on youtube
