The trick is to stop assuming there is certain part of the game that aren't enjoyable. Actually, stop assuming anything.

But you can't deny that you often laugh for nothing and have fun with basically nothing. Yes it is not constant excitement like getting to know your new girlfriend/boyfriend, or when you take some lsd, but it's pretty fucking fun

When you play a game and you take it too seriously, it sucks right ? Now imagine playing the game with cool people you choose to play with, just for fun. Imagine that you play that game, not just randomly, but with a career that has a deep meaning for you, which litterally gives you goosebumps just by thinking about it, and imagine that everyone that is close to you, understand perfectly why and how it feels to do what you do. In the game, you are totally conscious of every flaws your character has, and how you can better it to experience all facets of what the game has to offer, because you know that the game has such a variety of activities, that it feels infinite, which it is. Also imagine that you can litterally see yourself in every part of the game, that everywhere you look, you see your reflection, playing an another part of the game, and whatever this part is doing, you're cool with it. Wouldn't be fun ? Wouldn't be PROFOUND ? Wouldn't be MAGICAL ? #CopyrightisdeadyoumadleoKappa

Detachement simply means that you enjoy things as they arise, for what they are, without expectation. When you don't have any expectation, there is no suffering in the sense that you don't cling to anything, you don't need anything for you to be happy ("negative" emotions will still occur though) In my experience, I already can be pretty detached from a lot of things, I guess the only reason I'm still attached to some things is because I didn't adress the psychological root cause, not because I'm not enlightened (even though I don't have any exemple in mind, there probably is). Now to be detached to the extreme (your own death, torture, rape etc), yes, enlightenement is necessary, you most surely can't be detached from those kind of things if you still think that you are the body/mind.

It won't go that fast, don't worry, every pain you will ever feel will always pass IF you apply these techniques (and don't forget them)

When you realize you don't exist:

HOLY SHIT ! MIND BLOWN ! THERE IS NO ME, THERE IS NO ME, HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT !

I'm still crying from time to time because I found meaning in life from it.

I didn't understand it all, but it made me cry, Thank you

I'm afraid that in case of addiction, meditation alone isn't enough. Learn everything there is to know about porn, and why it is bad for you, and make the elimination of this addicition your priority aside your meditation routine. You will fail an incredible amount of time (could take years), but if you really want to get over it, you will. Read this first: https://www.nofap.com/porn-addiction/

Try harder, or it will fuck your life, just like it fucked mine until I had 26. You won't believe me yet, but keep that in mind, that no matter how much intelligent/sweet/affectionate/beautiful/sexy/sex godess she is, she won't make you happy in the long run. The only way for you to overcome your anxiety is not to get a girlfriend, it is by realizing that having a girlfriend isn't the solution. Just like being rich, popular, successful, physically attractive, a sex god, powerful (status and strenght), isn't gonna make you happy. Spirituality will solve every psychological trauma you have, because all your problem stems from your ego, from your false sense of identity, from the illusions created by your mind. Yes you will still suck at picking up women, you will still suck at socializing, but you know what ? All these issues are irrelevant when you genuinely don't care anymore. Paradoxically it will make way easier for you to grow, because trying to do something when you don't care if it will work or not, is generally when you have the best results. You're young, you should appreciate the fact you've discovered the spiritual world this early, it will save you many decades of suffering if you seriously invest your time and energy in it. If you are seriously open to the fact that your mind could be fucked up and that a higher realm of reality is at play in the background, oh man, you're one in a million ...

Outlook 1 seems neurotic, wanting something fast, is never a good sign. Outlook 2 imply there is a purpose to life, which can't be proved, and most enlightened people just say there is no point to it, or that it is just there to be experienced. The ego can't be a foe, existence is impersonal, it has no enemy, since it is only one being. If you fight your ego, it is the ego that is mad about itself, which reinforce it.

Don't let your mind rationalize anything, you have 3 seconds top until your ego finds a good excuse, and you will believe it, everytime.

You know what you don't want, it's already a lot

It feels like a downward spiral because you are too attached to your sense of false-self, that you think is you. Once you've clearly see past this illusion, this downward spiral turns into a shining light. This light will call you, again and again, until you finally comply. Only then you will know who you really are.

If it isn't a priority, why do you want to know ?

Yep, And don't forget to bury the corpse and to wash your penis.

The world you speak of is already a part of you, you are just blind to it. At least you know you're blind, most people will suffer all their lives without a damn clue.

You just realized that you have to kill the thing you think you are, of course you wish you never knew.

If you really don't want to bullshit yourself, meditate 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour after work.

What are you waiting for ? Why ?
