This is so close, It's embarrassing, I feel ashamed to call myself an American.

@PurpleTree What they did is child's play in comparison.

@Cobblestone Prince When you make a deal with the devil, don't be surprised when you get burned.

Well, it seems America is less psychologically developed than I thought.

I’ve spent years studying Trump, and it still amazes me how he has managed to maintain such a dedicated base of supporters. He’s been convicted of 34 felony charges, was impeached twice (without conviction), incited a riot at the Capitol, has numerous sexual assault allegations, was involved in the Trump University scam, had connections with Jeffrey Epstein, declared bankruptcy multiple times despite inheriting significant wealth, has a record of dishonesty, clearly uneducated, and exhibits classic traits of narcissism. The evidence is overwhelming—there are countless articles, books, documentaries, and documents that detail his actions and behavior in depth. Yet, his supporters remain loyal. It’s hard for me to comprehend why. The only explanation that makes sense to me is that his supporters are operating at a lower level of consciousness. As the election date approaches, I’m feeling a growing sense of stress and frustration. What do you think keeps Trump's supporters so loyal, despite all the evidence against him?

All things that women are attracted to have to deal with things that may enhance their survival. Women on a primal level see height as an indicator of how well a man can protect them on a physical level. Of course this is not always true. But on a primal level they may feel attraction. Do not let this get to you. There are plenty of women out there that ARE attracted to shorter men or simply don’t care. And also, there are many things that women find attractive. Confidence being one of the number one things. Love and focus on yourself and what you CAN control. Dress well, have a nice haircut, workout, build social skills, build your career etc. The only person that will prevent you from getting your dream girl is YOU. There are many girls out there that would love to date you. Keep improving yourself day by day and put yourself out there. You got this

@John Paul Hahah you are hilarious!!

@Knowledge Hoarder Yea I am definitely not concerned about anything actually happening.

@Terell Kirby I know that it is normal to find another person attractive. This situation is just challenging because it is being rubbed in my face so to speak for hours. I will still go to it. Yes, we have a very deep connection and her attraction to this guy is more of a fantasy. I really wish it didn't bother me at all, but it does.

I'm in a great relationship with my girlfriend. She loves me very much and is very attracted to me. When we first started dating she told me about this musician she was very attracted to and said jokingly that "he wouldn't count". She was obsessed with him as a teenager, had posters of him, bought all his CD's, and cried when she found out he got married. When I was at a family gathering with her she said that she "still loved him". Later on, we talked about it and she clarified she wasn't actually in love with him, but is just attracted to him. During the Superbowl she said she is rooting for this team because it's the musician's favorite team etc. Anyways, I got her tickets to see the band he's in for Christmas and the concert is this month. She said she knows she will cry during the concert and I know she will be super starry-eyed staring at him and dancing like crazy. I understand that it is just a celebrity crush and it shouldn't bother me but it is just hard to imagine being there in person watching her drool over this guy. I just want her to have fun and I know she loves music and concerts are her favorite thing so I will still support her and go with her. It's just hard to have no jealousy in the situation. I spent quite a bit of money on these tickets and I just want to enjoy myself and not feel really jealous. Is it wrong for this to bother me at all? Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

@aurum That's a really good point. Thanks!

@puporing Appreciate the input! Any techniques to release trauma that you know of?

What about the best practices to achieve peace, love, happiness, and as optimal mental health as possible? Other than the obvious ones such as: Nutrition, Supplements, Pharmaceuticals, Gratitude, Meditation, Kriya Yoga, Psychedelics, Sun, Earthing, etc. Or are the best practices to really dive deep and drastically improve your mental state of being just meditation, psychedelics, kriya yoga assuming you have very good physical health. I have worked very hard to optimize my physical health as I have invested tens of thousands of dollars into it and thousands of hours of research and implementation. I now believe it is time to work on my mental health. Any thoughts and recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Understanding reality.

Addictive potential. Also made my cognitive function worse.
