What are good ways to improve empathy towards other people? I think I know what other people are feeling, but I somehow don't care. I don't accept that others get upset over things I wouldn't even bother about. I find it especially difficult to deal with children. When they are upset, like they just broke something and are crying I don't know what to do. I have given up on trying to calm children because I just make them cry more, so I just ignore them.

I actually started getting into self development just because of psychedelics. They showed me the potential in me and gave rise to lots of questions.

Have you tried meditating? I have found it helps with the urge to always do something. Even if it just scrolling through your apps mindlessly. I used to always listen to music and stare at my phone, but after I started meditating I can appreciate the things around me more and I don't really use my phone that much.

I can also relate to your problem. It is very easy if you are already procrastinating, to procrastinate even more on weed. It makes you totally forget about the actual task at hand. I had a similiar issue with my exams this year. I was procrastinating on starting to study and started a bit later than I used to because I was smoking every day. But luckily my weed ran out 2 weeks before the exams and I didnt buy more and the pressure was high enough that I actually studied. I wouldn't totally blame weed for the problem of not studying. You could try think about the importance of the exam and what all the benefits of the exam are going to be in the future of your life. Try to motivate yourself for the exam and smoke less.
