@vladorion If someone you cared about was starting to take a bad path you wouldn't try to help?I'm not making it my life mission,but at least help. @PurpleTree I'm not discussing the validity of questioning mainstream media, but how she is doing it. @Yarco Thanks for the tips. I agree,it is really difficult for a person that is not familiar with internet (but for anybody really) to recognize which are quality informations,also given the fact that mainstream media do not promote truth but propaganda to boost whichever agenda the government (or the pharmaceutical industry) is trying to push,it's like a maze.It takes a bit of critical sense that needs to be developed trought studying valuable resources,otherwise it's better to not read news at all. About the stats,conspiracy theorist are so good at making their own stats,so people who fall for them will think those are the real numbers, and convince themeselves that the official ones are there just to fool the citizens.

If you take the self actualization path you'll realize going along it how you could have better used the time you had in highschool,both in terms of social interactions and education.The best advice I can give you is to work on your psychological foundations so that you can be a functional man and be able to easily satisfy your primary needs as soon as possible.Work to solve your limiting beliefs and do shadow work to solve your childhood traumas. When you'll finish highschool you want to be ready to easily be able to get laid and have social skills to befriend people. If you are like most people, you need those two aspects solved or you'll lose time trying to catch up later in life.It will only backfire on you and make you waste time along the way.To effectivly work on your purpose you need to be able to retain information as efficienciently as possible, highschool is a perfect playground to learn those skills by yourself. Start taking responsibilities,be honest to yourself even and especially if it hurts,learn to love your self,take care of your body and you'll become a healthy confident men by the time you're out of highschool.Then you really can start thinking about actualizing your life purpose. Now you can start to slowly exploring it,but believe me you won't go far if you don't focus on the essentials before everything else. I'm 20 and still I haven't solve them fully,no need to say how much mental energy I'm spending on them.

Hi! I would like your suggestions on the following. I'm 19 and I started to get into personal development when I was 15. In the journey I met lot's of people,changed my main group of friends and lived in foreign country for a year to study there. I wouldn't consider my self to be popular,but since then,I never really struggled to have friends and hang out with people. I was and I'm now more mature than people of my age, I always put self development,and now self actualization ahead entertainment, I care about my health so I'm not a crazy drinker or smoker (although maybe 1-2 a month I do); summarizing I've never been the classical teenager that does stupid stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to brag or saying that I'm better,quite the opposite. In fact the actual reason why I'm opening this discussion,is because I find I'm missing out on the essence of youth, since I see a sort of artistic beauty on the unconsciousness of it. In my whole life, I've never fully enjoyed social situations as I would like to. I indeed really value friendship as an ideal,but especially lately I feel like I completely lost the levity to leave away for a moment self actualization, significance and deepness from my mind and just fucking enjoy frivolous situations. I feel like,as I more and more learn to be delighted by the present moment in most of the circumstances,I gradually lose the ability to have fun with friends.As much as I think that changing group of friends to another that matches your interests is a necessary and spontaneous process,I feel like that having more "noble" hobbies is not an excuse to not being able to enjoy your time in any situation,with anyone. I realized that the problem is not the lack of connection between my and other's interests,but I have an inner issue that I'm indeed trying to contemplate. Has anybody had the same difficulty? What are your suggestions? What practice can help me? Thank you and Happy New Year
