  1. Yes... Many "stage green" act as a stage red... very defensive and agressive...
  2. Rapé is a great tool. I personally don’t like to take huge dosages, because it can get extremely unpleasant. There’s a huge variety of rapés. Yopo is just one type of rapé. Similarly to how there are many different types of cannabis strains, and each has it’s properties. In my case, I use it to calm down my anxiety, and to help evacuate. It’s also a very powerful anti-psychotic. On my most scarry ayahuasca trip ever, where I was going nuts, the only thing that made me go back to Earth was rapé. It’s also anti-addiction. With it, I was able to stop smoking pot relatively easily. I am really grateful for this medicine. I use small dosages daily. And a friend of mine will teach me how to make my own rapé. @Leo Gura
  3. I feel you, man. Welcome to the Social Anxious group lol It's a very complicated thing... there's nothing I can say that will make you feel comfortable expressing yourself, but know it that it is possible. What's helped the most is having 2-3 friends who I can feel really at ease with, someone who I can really trust that like me no matter what I do or don't do. By cultivating these friendships, I gain self-confidence to talk with other people.
  4. Solipsism (/ˈsɒlɪpsɪzəm/ (listen); from Latin solus, meaning 'alone', and ipse, meaning 'self') is the philosophical idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind. As a metaphysical position, solipsism goes further to the conclusion that the world and other minds do not exist. This extreme position is claimed to be irrefutable, as the solipsist believes themself to be the only true authority, all others being creations of their own mind. Let me guess: you took some psychedelics, and now you think you're enlightened.
  5. If you only did that because you were fearing “bad karma”, it was a wrong decision...
  6. Here's what you're experiencing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicidal_ideation I do not recommend you actively comteplate death. Instead, I'd suggest you focus on relaxation & lightness.
  7. First of all, do not preach to them about self-help stuff. This is as annoying as a religious person talking about Jesus. Second, you can't change anyone. But if you truly develop yourself, you'll naturally be an inspiration to others (including your family). Third, stop categorizing people like you did with your mom...
  8. That's a very good question. Bingo! You just summed up the fear of rejection. That can be very helpful. Sometimes we can't overcome fears by ourselves; we need loving support & acceptance. A good therapist can also help with that. From my experience, the more you dig some fears; the stronger they become. It's like a never-ending thing. I just found an article that I found pretty interesting. See if it resonates with you: https://steemit.com/spirituality/@brightstar/shadow-work-and-healing-when-is-enough-enough Can you be more specific? That is, why they rejected your partner? How is your lifestyle? In anyway, that's very tough. Even though they say in some spiritual circles that "you don't need to be accepted by anyone but you", I don't find that to be true. We all want to be accepted, especially by the ones close to us. From my experience, even though separation is hard, sometimes it is necessary. If you keep seeing your parents -- and they keep disapproving you -- that will only drain your energy. That being said, after some time, you'll be more matured, and you hopefully can start relate with them again in a healthier way. Ghosts do not live under our beds, but inside our heads... Our inner voice can be extremely critic and disapproval, or it can be loving and encouraging. To have more awareness on that, I suggest a book called "Taming Your Gremlin" by Richard David Carson.
  9. You sure this is the right forum to ask this question?
  10. Cool! Have you ever done any martial art? That's a dead-end... It's like a dog chasing its tail... I understand... Here's a quote I really like: "You can think your way into right thinking, but you can't think your way into right action."
  11. That was a great read! I'm 22, and I have been on the self-actualization path since I was 12 lol, so I feel I can share valuable stuff to you. I agree. I used to hate school. It's all very mechanical, and sitting down for many hours a day is not healthy. Damn. That's tough, man. You mentioned you go to the gym. Do you weightlift? That could be a good outlet for your rage. Haha. You see, if you have a very full schedule, meditation won't be effective. And in my opinion, meditation is overrated. There are other things you can master before trying to become a young western Zen master... Trust me, you can leave meditation (and especially self-enquiry) for later in your life. No need to rush with that. Maybe you should do another type of work-out. Something that brings more pleasure, instead of being a chore. And, dude, don't be so rigid with yourself. Listen to whatever you want... The more you fight the monkey-mind, the louder it gets. Hahaha... dude, I didn't understand that video... Leo lost me when he started doing psychedelics... Haha... Dude, if you can find a good yoga class, it can be quite amazing... It's not the typical western work-out. It makes you go into a meditative and calm state. But, again, if you're super-tired, it won't do you much. Again, don't be hard on yourself. Young people these days have very stressful routines, so if you spend your free time doing "low-consciouness" stuff, it's okay... You're a human being, after all... Don't label your natural curiosity as "unnecessary" and "stupid". I understand how some subjects might be very uninteresting and childish... I suggest you get the book "Quiet - How Introverts Can Transform a World That Can Stop Talking" Good old nostalgia... It's fine to have goals, but don't cling too much to them. I also think goals are overrated. Best of luck! You are a very good writer. You should write a public journal on this forum...
  12. First off, people who pick on others are deep down insecure individuals... They want to humiliate others in order to feel better about themselves. Second, you probably have had many many experiences in the past where you felt disrespected, and this adds up into a snowball effect. Well, there are other things I could say to you, but you probably already know, such as taking yourself less seriously, finding people who remind you who you truly are, etc.
  13. Dude, first of all, quit any spiritual practices you’re doing. In reality, you’re probably suffering from depression (and likely bipolar disorder). So seek professional help! Doing spiritual gymnastics won’t help you.
  14. ? Lol, unfortunately, no.
  15. Lol Even if you pretend to be humble, people will still notice that sooner or later. Have you ever taken psychedelics? They might help you develop genuine humbleness.
  16. That's deep...
  17. I think you were influenced by the NoFap beliefs. Ejaculating relaxes the muscles. That's it. Maybe you have a slight depression...
