You need to be judgmental in order to choose friends wisely.

I came across this video. This is so innovative and allows to tackle a so sad situation that I just wanted to share it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Calm down mind, calm down.

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.

Gen Z should be called the stay at home gen.

Let yourself experience the emotions to the fullest: feel intensely the stress, cry, scream, jump, run around like a kid.

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.

This country is way too limited for personal development, I'll probably move out at a point but I will have to find a way to handle my family situation.

Grandma state is degrading day after day. She cannot see, cannot hear properly, cannot interpret things correctly, and have difficulties moving. She doesn't know how to take a shower anymore, she has difficulties eating by herself and going to the toilet by herself. I'm wondering how much time is left... it's probably just a question of months now, it will surely not last more than a year to this point. It's in this kind of situation that mahasamadhi is useful. It's probably the most beautiful way to end life after having lived it to the fullest.

It's incredible how much people are afraid of dogs around me. Many people have dogs but at the same time, they are deeply afraid of them. Many people get paralyzed as soon as they see a dog, they get stuck and cannot move anymore. I also had people throwing rocks or takings sticks as soon as they would see my dogs, some of them did that even when they were leashed. This is ridiculous. There's a general lack of self-esteem in the population, the self-esteem is overall very low, many people live in deep fear.

Hey there, I have some questions about being skinny. I'm a very skinny and tall person and I have been very skinny my entire life. Gyms got closed recently in my country because of Covid and because of that I exercised less regularly and less intensely during the past two months. I also started to eat a bit less recently because I felt that I was eating more than I needed. However, I don't undereat, I eat moderately, I eat what I feel I need. As a consequence of that, I lost some weight. I'm now at 112 lbs for 6 ft (51 kg for 183 cm) which gives me a BMI of 15.2, before I was at 121 lbs for 6 ft (55 kg for 183 cm) with a BMI of 16.4. According to the BMI, I am severely underweight, however, I feel great overall, but maybe just a bit weaker. I enjoy being skinny, it just feels great to be thin and light. Also, when I look at myself in the mirror, I found myself good-looking. I don't feel the need to put 20 - 40 more pounds on my body, I enjoy having a skinny body. I also don't feel hunger, I'm conscious that this is weird to say that but I very rarely felt hunger in my entire life, this an almost unknown sensation for me. Many people have made fun of me for being so skinny in my life and I even had people coming to me to ask me if it was normal or if I was anorexic which is not the case. I very rarely undereat and very rarely overate in my life, it has always being a struggle to gain weight for me even when I would eat more than other people around me. I did gain weight while going to the gym in the past, but never a huge amount. Finally, I started to resonate less and less with the need to go to the gym and to build big muscles. Even if gyms re-open in the future I'm wondering if I'll get back to it or just continue doing some moderate bodyweight workouts at home, which is what I'm currently doing. Is it normal to be so skinny? Should I eat more? Should I continue to exercise with heavyweights like when I was going to the gym? Do I have risks regarding my health?
