Dang

Leo is on nofap retreat

Here are some recommendations from me, re films I see as being red: - Come and See (1985) - Irreversible (2002) - Salo - Lilya 4-ever - The House That Jack Built - A Serbian Film - Scum (1977) - Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer - Nil by Mouth - Funny Games (2007) - Ghostland (2018) - Threads (1984) - Nitram I did a film watch project on stage red movies a while back myself, and watched most of these in that.

Given the prevalence of bullying and repeated school shootings I think homeschooling should be an option. Being homeschooled beats getting capped in the head, by your classmate, every time, imo.

Ye I second Raze's advice dude

You got this bro, imo. My recommendation would be to set more goals. It appears to me you currently have two metrics by which you judge your results. One: Getting laid. Two: Level of anxiety. You could add in many more micro goals, such as just working on approaching. Or just working on holding eye contact. Or holding conversations for longer periods. That way you are going to win a lot more imo, and therefore build momentum. Effective goal setting is a really important part of progressing skills in any domain imo.

Dude, you gotta humble yourself imo.

If you're interested in meditation and also rather intellectually oriented, I imagine Shinzen Young's work could be of interest & value to you. Here is, to my understanding, his latest guidebook: https://www.shinzen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SeeHearFeelIntroduction_ver1.8.pdf He also has a youtube channel.

@LoneWonderer Myb make it as easy as possible for yourself. Maybe just start with dry brushing (aka without toothpaste) for like 30 seconds twice per day. Keep the toothbrush next to your bed.

Yes, imo

I'd ask them to stop. If they don't, cut them off. That'd be my recommendation.

@Charlotte cranialsacral therapy, somatic experiencing, acupuncture, yoga would be my recommendations

lmao sounds fun

Ye but its more kinky with the chains and all

Chain them to a chair and force them to watch the squirting video

@Thought Art Do you have a meditation practice bro? If so, what do you do?

Me too

Agreed. Death to America. I mean actualized.org.

@The Redeemer Hey dude, what's your reasoning behind these beliefs?

?

@k-ahmadzadeh I think some inner work could help. Here are some suggestions from me: -------- Meditation would probs be helpful i think. I'd experiment with the following 4 categories of meditation techniques: 1. Single pointed concentration meditation (I.e. See the book 'The mind illuminated') 2. Mindfulness meditation (I.e. Shinzen Young's see-hear-feel system, Mahasi noting, body scans) 3. Surrender/ letting go meditations (See the sidebar on the r/nondirective subreddit) 4. Loving-kindness meditations (I.e. metta) --- Also, if you want to work with your unconscious dynamics via psychotherapy, I'd consider working with an IFS or Gestalt therapist. -------------------- Plus can also do some body work, i.e. acupuncture, yin yoga, cranialsacral therapy, to really release chronic body tensions, and with that you release traumas. --------- You can buy some cheap ear defenders too. I think they'll help you concentrate whilst meditating. ----------------------- Believe it or not, imo, you already have a LOT going for you mate ---- Edit: David Tian, on youtube, might be a useful mentor btw
