@Pacific Sage sperg is short for someone who has Asperger's syndrome or autism

@itachi uchiha you mean that experience when I'm out of my mind in the present and life feels magical i love that experience that's the main reason i kept meditating but i very rarely have those experiences i think i get them when i listen to a song or gaze at the moon or the silence or the sunlight but i don't know exactly how to practice this habit im sure focusing on my breath will never get me there nor trying to calm my mind in fact trying to calm my mind causes me head tension and anxiety i have once seen a documentary when a monk uses some bowl that vibrates and makes an interesting noise id like to know the name of that object i think that's what i need to focus my attention on during mediating

@justfortoday i never used any drugs such as weed or dmt

@kras with this attitude, I think you will break up sooner or later .

did you know that if you have good mental health self-improvement and self-actualization and especially spirituality will be far easier? as someone who struggles with anxiety and Depression doing even very simple self-improvement work is extremely hard it's like trying to drive a sports car but with the handbrake on very very slow and challenging unlike when i experience what is like to have normal good mental health life became easy at least much easier than before people usually think this is obvious. but it's not at all because those mental issues are very subtle and you are so used to them that it feels very normal even others can notice if you have been depressed or struggle with anxiety for very long time . im saying this because i don't find Leo or many self-help gurus talking about this yet it's absolutely essential to any work probably bcz they didn't come from that place so that's why they got the success they have

there some aspects I love about being a sperg but I fucking hate it when it comes to socializing with people it sucks. and with girls, it makes it completely and utterly impossible. cure your syndrome as soon as you it makes life very hard

@Hello world you need serious help, texting hardly help newbies with self-help let alone curing serious depression go to clinical psychologist or easily find them online with simple research

@Isaac k here is an extremely effective method: set a timer for an hour sit down like meditating after you know taking deep breath etc you let your body do whatever the fuck it wants! at first, nothing happens maybe you move your legs or scratch an itch but if you sat long enough your body will feel like doing some unusual things maybe you feel like scream you scream out loud! you feel like being angry you express that angry or crying or being in some strange wacky posture. and of course, you will have some sexual cravings and disturbing desires it's probably a combination of feelings and thoughts but dont judge it as bad just let it all out all of those are dark shit hidden under a rug let it all out keep doing this daily and you will notice significant improvement this method is NO BS it's very direct and simple worth mentioning i received this insight from leos videos with some experimentation

"speaks as a third person: but leo there is nothing to do you are telling people to chase stuff and this is all just delusion." leo responded : "well, what I have to say to you is to go fuck yourself!" source : Motivational Speech For Building A Passionate Life : time 36:00

which is why i asked you those previous question I wouldn't tell you to do this unless you are a male and old enough to deal with such a threat

I was thinking maybe you could confront him and have a serious conversation with him

@Focus tips to make your work far easier step one download the subtitles from the video usually, you will find English auto-translation subtitles imbedded in the video. step two go to google search download subtitles from youtube step three open that text file and copy-paste it to google translation and you will have the arabic translation on the right copy it and paste it in a new text file and save that file as SRT and then upload it to that youtube video maybe you could review it and correct some words its not perfect tho but it will make your work significantly easier and saves a ton of time

@Leo Gura exactly.

@Arcangelo are you a dude? and how old are you and your dad?

well said.

what are some deal important habits/skills that you wish to have acquired in your younger self?

I can totally relate to that the best advice I can give you is DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, DO NOT PLAY THE VICTIM! you need to grab a pen and a notebook and sit down to do a deep reflection with yourself to know exactly what you must do to turn this around. you don't have to watch videos or read books or listen to others telling this and that in fact, that is procrastination and I have fallen into this trap for years and got zero results from doing mental masturbation. make the way to go about solving them very simple because your problems are simple (that doesn't mean it's gonna be easy ) and no one knows how to solve this better than you because you experienced them.

i struggle with IBS for a decade the only treatment that worked for me is a gluten-free diet and some mental work such as reducing anxiety and stress and unwiring this defense mechanism from avoiding feelings and emotions. I though this could realte to your topic on guts problems

whenever i try to contemplate or think about something deeply or with concentration my mind resists, tension in the back of my head builds up and becomes impossible to concentrate or think. any solution?

this is exactly how i feel for many many years but lately after I started taking my health seriously i did some research and contemplation and experimentations i succeed at reducing this phenomenon by 50% or 60% the things I tried are do pushups or move or standing on my hands to move the blood to my head after waking up doing feet exercises and stretching before bed but lately, i have not been doing any of this except taking iron supplements which alone helped me because i have anemia and low blood pressure

if you struggle to fall asleep when you first go to bed or after waking up 4 hours later in middle of the night which is natrual but the problem is that you are trying to force yourself to sleep or pressure yourself and that make you paniced and stressed which that make you even more stressed and worried which makes it impossible to fall sleep even after two hours thats basically anixety the way to treat this is pretend that you are tired and very sleepy. dont push force yourself to sleep dont panic or worry about anything it's all gonna be okay say to yourself infact open your eyes and pretend that you dont want to sleep but dont use your phone and make your room dark slowly your eyes will close and you will fall within few minutes i use this and it usually works for me

what's best time to sleep ? and does it make a health different if we slept late or early ? i have been struggling for years with waking up early im used to sleep at 6 am and wake up at 3 pm it's emotionally hard for me to sleep early and i dont have good reasons to do that as well so what do you think guys?

im not sure what this really mean tho lol
