  1. Actually, I feel a bit more clarity after masturbating but that's mostly after not doing it for 2 - 3 days. Masturbating every day do numbs me.
  2. @Striving for more Interesting that you've added socializing into it. It also seems to me that any life experience can improve someone's mental capacity and that any experience can be used later in a different field. The more diverse life experiences someone has, the more flexible its brain is.

  4. I have so much things going on in my mind. I maybe should try writing bigger posts more regularly, however, my issue is that I don't have that much time to journal everyday. Maybe I could try one very big deep post per week. I see that some people journal in order to empty their mind. It could maybe work for me too if I find enough time.
  5. I think that these small posts with a few lines are just a survival strategy that I developt to avoid digging deep into myself.
  6. Shadow Sensemaking These videos have sexy stage Yellow titles, but I don't know if I'll ever have the time to watch them.

  9. Do you think you won't get banned again btw?
  10. You need to be judgmental in order to choose friends wisely.
  11. I came across this video. This is so innovative and allows to tackle a so sad situation that I just wanted to share it.
  12. I really envy these people who can quickly fall as sleep and who have deep profound sleep. Insomnia is one of the most difficult condition someone can have.
  13. Try to find a job on the Internet. Use Upwork, you can find high paying clients if you have the skills. I personally live in an emerging country, when I started working I was earning 500-600 $ / months, then I started working on the Internet and can now earn more than 1000$ / month while working less than 20 hours / week. It saved my life.
  14. 3 days without sleep. Just because my mind is crazy all day and all night. Even when I feel exhausted and have an headache because of lack of sleep, I still can't sleep because my mind is too crazy.
  15. You prevented me to sleep for two days now. You're such a savage beast, mind. Calm down mind, calm down. It's gonna be ok.
  16. Calm down mind, calm down.

  19. Failures of Gen Z I'm thinking a bit about where we are going to fail as a generation. Probably when it comes to the integration of previous stages... at a point, many people will realize something like "yeah... my parents were rights afterall (on some stuff)". Wikipedia has a great article on Gen Z: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Generation_Z And this article looks good too: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/05/14/on-the-cusp-of-adulthood-and-facing-an-uncertain-future-what-we-know-about-gen-z-so-far-2/ but I'll read that later. I think that these points will be recurrent issues within my generation: Social media addiction. Movies, TV Shows, and video game addictions. ADHD. Sleeping difficulties. Lack of discipline and organization. Too low emphasis on the power of individual actions and blaming everything on the external environment. Actually, this is the same thing here, this too low emphasis on individual actions is caused by the environment that many people from Gen Z grew up in. Some people are too spoiled and this is not a healthy environment. To create a healthy environment parent need to create calibrated challenges for kids. A too comfortable environment can even lead to narcissism. Later generations will be built on top of these issues and will correct them as Gen Z is currently addressing issues caused by previous generations.
  20. Gen Z should be called the stay at home gen.

I develop more assertiveness I'll assert myself more in life I'll be better at having boundaries I'll live more for myself I'll have more integrity in life things would go my way my thoughts would be more aligned with my purpose I wouldn't care that much about nonconstructive criticism of me If I treat my self-respect as a high priority... my self-respect would improve people would have more respect for me I'll do things that I care about I'll speak to myself with kindness I'll align with my purpose I'll have more integrity I'll have more honesty I'll be aligned with where I'm at my life would become deeper and deeper, more meaningful and more meaningful, more purposeful and more purposeful, and more and more god-like

  23. Let yourself experience the emotions to the fullest: feel intensely the stress, cry, scream, jump, run around like a kid.
  24. This forum has some of the most inspiring people that I saw in my entire life and at the same time some of the most depressed people that I saw and who need the most help.
