When a Jedi turns into a sith...

This year it seems that I developed some cold urticaria (if that's it). After cold exposure I get these light swellings which pass right after I enter a normal temperature environment. Did anyone had these?

?

In my opinion a good man is loud with his character and not with his words. Clothes have little to no importance. He's the stoic mountain, grounded. Women are emotional around him as they feel they're understood, and they can be taken care of (not saying this should be the scenario, however it feels good once in a while). A good man sees the potential in others and judges them by that, not by their shortcomings. A good man is like a concrete foundation. A good man is honest. A good man is brave and would protect his family with the price of his life. A good man is an example to his link to the future. A good man is selfless as he realizes "he" is bollocks. A good man functions even better with a good woman around him. A good man sees through deceit and puppet shows.

@Tyler Robinson self love's main feature imo is that you love yourself with flaws. Love yourself without all those pieces together. Be understanding and kind, hug yourself in the mirror, don't be mean or bad with yourself, try to replace negative thoughts about yourself with neutral or positive ones. I'm a total trainwreck and I love myself. I only know how to go to a place of unconditional love with myself, and when doing this around others they tend to tune into it.

I gotta watch it sometime, lots of people told me I emanate that kind of energy

Lego, small set

A)

Seeing everyone dear to me die, and then lots of other generations and so on? Plus imagine the boredom. I'm already 24 and had more than a fair share of different categories of activities. You can keep the immortality and give me laser beams. Mr Potato Head sounds about right for my character's name haha

It's common. Some vitamin D, hugs, warm tea and cool movies go a long way. Also adapt to the season yourself. Do more contemplation during winter, get energy accumulated and use it coupled with the plans gathered during warmer seasons.

This is a true practice sadly.

Name: - Age: 24 Gender: Male Location: Bucharest, Romania Occupation: Video games / IT Marital Status: Dating Kids: No Hobbies: Lego, Star Wars, becoming most resilient and capable person I know, understanding everything. I got into personal development around 2014. I sucked with girls and hated clubs, they were loud and crowded and smelled like cigarettes and I was wondering how people are having fun in such places. Two years of hard work, frustration, RSD content and going out with a same level experienced friend and my cousin, I started to get results and do wonders compared to my circle's standards. Around the time I discovered Leo's content and I was amazed by such a guy, tried to test everything from his videos and at times to mimic him (I know, I know ?) Before I went to university, my father died so I took the duty of taking over his business and also go to studies. After doing non stop work or sleep I burned out, and for a week I barely was able even to use the bathroom. I felt that like a wake up call, and decided that I'll learn to make money in a smarter way, quit the studies and passed on the business (quitting the study part may or may not have been a smart move, however at the time and probably always, I'll consider my health to be more important). I also understood how much integrity means to me (the business was corrupt, and I would never lead another corrupt business again, as sooner or later it bites you in the ass + my moral compass hated me continuously until I quit it). Around that time I started experimenting with drugs and doing psychological work on myself. Some work went well, some was straight up stupid and full of errors. It was interesting that after I worked with a therapist, we had moments where I was telling about a conviction I would have or something I was attempting to do, and for her to debunk it in like 10 minutes. Personal challenges I've overcome: Absolutely sucked at attracting women Used to be very shy, introverted, and socially awkward Had no clue about making money. I still can't say that I'm an expert, however I'm much more knowledgeable on the matter than before and I believe I will only grow forward from now on Being easy to break and unadaptable What I'm working on now: Working on getting rid of my addictions (nicotine, weed) Working on improving my health & diet Working on being more zen Working on climbing the pyramid and get financially free eventually Dream which will come true (hopefully while I'm still young enough to enjoy it): create most awesome game there is (shooter or MMORPG genre) Become financially free enough so that I don't worry about money, can pursue my creative dream projects, see dear people whenever I want to do that and in a nutshell doing what I want, when I want, how I want. I want to make an impact and to provide some value to people (a few years ago I was thinking to make that by teaching people how to do pick up more ethically, I literally never lied a woman since I promised to do so back when I realized how damaging to others being toxic is, and I surprisingly had times when I would see 4 or 5 girls regularly, while each one of them would be aware of the other, for 6+ months, multiple times).

So I'm into self development for quite some time. I've stumbled across things which are effective, however I've also noticed that some just give you weird anxiety when unreachable. Recently I've heard about excellent standards / up only. Basically if you do 5 sales normally, and then one day 500, you should be alarmed the days after for not doing 500 at least again, and work harder. I believe this might get me in an unhealthy space and might be foolish to pursue. What you think about this? Also, if you managed to perform well in your areas of life, what rea better guidelines you use for yourself?

@aurum thanks. And how could one be focused on being "constantly up" on the long term?

It is difficult to not be a dopamine junkie. I really crave the dopamine hits, and it's odd that most people I know function this way. What should I focus on instead? For the moment, 30 days of meditation, exercise, reading, making a list of things I'm grateful for, making a list of how could I make more money and no substance using is what I'm aiming for. I like the present energy I get from doing such things, however boredom tends to build up relatively fast. Any tips?

Thank you most things I'm hooked with lately is smoking weed, gambling. I also overdo sex quite a lot, however I don't think that's a problem as when I have something to focus on I can refrain from that easily.

Thank you all for your thoughts on this as well

Hey there awesome people, So I decided to quit weed as I ended up being addicted to it. It helped me in a ton of ways, however I allow no substance to control me. So I decided to quit. Took a week vacation and tried cold turkey. Myself, I could get through all the no sleep, irritability, puking, sweats and all the withdrawal symptoms that I seem to embody. However, I have a job and also I need to have check ups with a police officer so sadly that big of a withdrawal can't be hidden. I usually was smoking between 1 and 3 g's a day of high potency. For my plan I'm downgrading to 0.5 for 4 days (each day), 0.33 for around 6 days, 0.25 for the following 4 days and get this way to a complete zero absolute no use state. In around 2 weeks I should get to 0. Do you think it's a good strategy?

@Panteranegra it's going good, approaching sobriety, soon enough:)

@Raze thanks a lot

@Cathal a grey period with constant strain and very few joys. I'm glad I changed things quite a bit since. Hopefully in 30 days I'll be good and sober
