  2. ADHD - genetics or trauma?

    something_else replied to Alexop's topic in Mental Health, Serious Emotional Issues

    I have had the opposite experience. Do you live in the US? It's incredibly easy to get a diagnosis and medication there, doctors diagnose ADHD left right and centre. Here in the UK it's a 5 year waiting list for a test unless you go private, and if you go private it's £1k to £3k for an assessment and like £100/m for medication. The tests are extremely thorough too. You need two forms filled out by close friends and family, one of whom has to have known you since you were a baby. Each of those forms is around 2-3 hours of work, extremely in-depth. Then you need to do around 4-5 hours of form filling yourself, and a 2-3 hour in person assessment. With 6 monthly follow up assessments, sometimes monthly if they think you need it. I agree with not victimising yourself if you have let's say mild to medium levels of ADHD like what I got diagnosed with. That can be overcome with willpower, though it can be exhausting. But if you've ever met someone with severe ADHD it is rude to tell them not to victimise themselves and to take responsibility for themselves, their condition is literally a disability that specifically prevents them from being able to do what you're asking them to.
  3. There are younger girls who are into me. And I see them on a weekly basis during my work outs but they never make moves. Only give obvious signals like being giggly and excited when I talk to them. But you are right about me leveling up. I have had some stunning gfs and that pumped up my self esteem I guess. And being worthy of higher quality. It is so obvious to me that men are the price. And it is expressed in your physiology.

  5. Bar is different than a nightclub where people are more into in-depth conversation
  6. I think young girls don’t appreciate intellect. For them other things are important. If you are a guy with a giant intellect it is like having a huge dick for girls that are into huge dicks, and most of the time older women are into that or special kind of people. I think I have to start catering the right thing to the right people. For example if you are in a nightclub your intellect won’t get you anything. It is all about vibe, appearance, presentation, confident and leading. Older women can lead relationships themselves so they don’t necessarily look for guys that can lead but personally I don’t like that kind of girls.
  7. Dr K. says manifestation is real towards the end of the video. He says most new agers get it wrong since they don't have a rigorous understanding like an advanced yoga master. And that there is a yogi that consistently gets results for people alive today. Another problem is new agers, including myself come at it from a place of lack and desperation. You cannot compare a new age barista girl from Austin, Texas to a spiritual master that has literally made his life mission to understand reality at the deepest levels.
  8. The best actor in the world isn't that good If I were to do pickup, I would do it obviously, but not in a slimeball way, I would use a cheesey obvious pickup line and keep it light and not sexual, if you can do that. I still haven't read what OP is doing pickup for, *this isn't PUA horndog advice. No primer or anything, just come in with that, they'll like it if you don't do it sexually, then "want to grab coffee sometime"? Done. Don't dress up like a party boy, nothing, be you, and you're gold.

  10. This is your best insigth. I will share some things that are helping me. At least in the information arena because we know that one thing is read or listen the podcasts and another is to embody and do the daily practice till effects get manifested. Co-dependency was for me a word that many good friends told me to look for. And for me took time to understand what it actually mean and where it was rooted.

  12. I spent about a year doing hard core meditation plus sitting silently in nature. Plus, as @Inliytened1 mentioned, I was watching Leo's early videos. Then I started practicing no-self along with my daily meditation practice after Leo came out with this video about the illusion of the self. And it was around that time that I first experienced Samadhi. My first experience with samadhi was that it felt as if consciousness was leaving my body and becoming liberated. Like I was expanding in infinite directions. So, I surrendered to it and suddenly I was no longer aware of the room I was sitting in. I was now liberated from the confines of the body and mind and completely merged with what I can only describe as being a "universal intelligence".
  13. What are some examples of these f*cked up power dynamics that can make for amazing sex with these crazy girls

  15. @Hello1 you seem to be doing all the right things. How was your relationship with your parents? Many times we repeat in our romantic relationships the traumas we inherited from childhood.
  16. Becoming an Adobe feudal slave seems to a common pitfall for creatives and something I want to avoid myself. I hope their monopolistic grip on the industry is waning now. Industry standards should be open source imo.

  18. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

    Rafael Thundercat replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    @Nemra yeah, maybe, but I also fucked up my IG algorithm by reposting,liking and commenting on the posts of the ongoing Brasil elections. One round and there was just politics all way down. But is for a good reason. Meta is influencing and blockimg important influencers on the Left so there is a big movement to teach people how to overcome the tricks Meta is playing and using the algorithm way of working to get more reach. There is no politics without social media.
  19. @Rafael Thundercat, yesterday the IG algorithm showed me that as well. 😁
  20. A " third to a half " is not "most women"........ Conservative women tend to have sex on the first date, but they're still not "most women".
  21. @Manas a lot of it is genetics but if you go back and listen to rhe very first enlightenment videos while meditating something may happen.

  23. "Licenced professional" tittle does not impress me anymore. Most doctors are just a bunch of idiots who blindly follow authority. Most doctors even today tell people to eat brown bread and dairy. Most old doctors are fat and ill.
  24. Also probably this, I've had that same problem before. I think most men run into this at some point in our lives.
  25. Never be cruel, never be cowardly! Remember, hate is always foolish, but love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind. The Doctore
  26. It's good, it's a sign that you have some sex appeal. I would keep levelling up so that the women you're more into also start giving you indicators of interest. You should flirt with them to practice your verbal game, it's win-win for both parties. They'll feel good about receiving the attention of a younger man and you can let them down smoothly. It's like a hot girl some of them are gracious about refusing advances and some of them are really bitchy about it, no need to be unpleasant to people that are into you.
  27. Hello, it´s pretty much still the same. I haven´t taken the antidepressants yet. It´s still an option. It swings between thinking I can make it without them and thinking that I can´t. More of the time I think I can. I am basically dealing with shitty life basis/pillars + addiction (sever one, on a person. / limerence). I joind Sex And Love Addicts Anonymous group meetings taking place once a week. I haven´t even gotten to the step one yet, which is, admitting fully that it is an addiction. I still rationalize that we should be friends. The contact makes me feel worthless but I still have a vision that we will be friends. Probably pretty bad. I don´t know. In the meantime I try to use everything else I have at my disposal to help myself, exercise, books, nature etc. Trying to keep myself busy. I am exploring a new city as a regular visitor (in the neighbour country). Fantasizing about moving there (not really possible right now). Trying to stay active, volunteer, since I don´t have a job and have zero skills, so at least I do something simple. Trying to socialize, find some people to befriend. I sense that it all boils down to building myself to be someone who can be proud of herself. Making good choices. Slowly building myself. Once I re-gain my self-worth, I probably won´t be addicted to a person. I sense that it might take months / years.
