Recently, I have been going through a transitioning period; one from meaninglessness and nihilsm to hope and a belief in goodness and love. This video clicked very deeply for me and perfectly brought into art-form the resolving of all the rancour and pain aching me for a large portion of my life. If it doesn't feel right for you, click away, but if it does, I hope it can bring a similar sense of hope and love. All the best

As someone who's on the spectrum myself, I see a lot of people misunderstanding here. Sure, it'll always help to become stronger and feel more physically confident, but for a lot of people on the spectrum, processing highly stress inducing sensory information causes a shut-down and freezing up, you get severely overwhelmed. @Chives99 My suggestion would be to do what we are often best at: plan ahead. Take some time to make a general plan for each of these forms of difficult situations; contingency plans if you will. Think through how you should act, conduct yourself, how best to deal with it all. Then when such moments arise, you are not crippled by having to in the moment decide and think what to do, you have a path your mind and body you can walk along, while of course taking into account the specific situation and altering your approach accordingly. But I do agree with the fact that if you make yourself more physically capable in the general sense, you have less chance of shutting down because you know yourself to be capable in handling the situation. That could be something worth looking into. All the best, bud

My typical daily meals look like this: ---------------------------------------- Pre-breakfast a couple of tablespoons of sunflower butter some 85% chocolate some fruit Breakfast lentil pasta ground beef raw kale Pre-Gym Oatmeal with almond milk, banana, apple, and walnuts 5 Eggs Post-Gym/Dinner Lots of fruit and maybe some sunflower butter Quinoa Chicken breast Broccoli ----------------------------------------

oh I was continuing the common Destiny phrases ? “gotcha”, “anything else”, “stay safe, buddy.” Man.. what a trainwreck this whole thing is becoming

@Carl-Richard Anything else?

@Heart of Space bro... can you see how all of what you just said is conjecture? You took one story and added so much of your own assumptions and shit onto it. Destiny definitely has his shortcomings and immaturities, but there is also a lot of intellectual openness and deep interesting thinking. Minus all the petty shit, he definitely has stuff to offer.

@Carl-Richard Yeah, I don't know if that seems proper, I haven't looked into exactly what is happening right now. I think with the narcissim comment, Destiny is mostly referring to the fact that Mr.Girl can never review and alter his worldview, if someone disagrees that's always on them. Can also just be the fact that he's slandering Steven and that comment was mostly emotional, which would be reasonable because Max was a good friend and he is once again being backstabbed.

yeah, this talk is excellent. I feel like Fridman is able to pull the best out of Destiny and in good faith challenge what he thinks to be his shortcomings. Truly feels like an intellectually mature conversation.

Following this drama here and there, I do lean more towards Destiny’s side. I feel over the last months, Mr.Girl has become increasingly more unhinged and closedminded. Really a shame though, I liked the breath of fresh air he brought to internet discourse.

@Matt23 he sure can I don't know what it is about Olympic Weightlifting, it recently just hooked me. Mesmerizing sport.

What got me out of that hole is to focus attention inwards. There must be a reason for your lack of results when it comes to dating; be it self-esteem, sense of purpose, dress and hygiene, social skills like talking/flirting, etc. By all means keep practicing talking to people, but put some time and effort into yourself, become a strong man with purpose. That will make you enjoy your life more and increase your attractiveness. All the best buddy, you got this.

I love this guy

Though age can definitely be a something that denotes wisdom and life experience, it is only like a guideline. If you are competent and feel like you have something valuable to say at, lets say 23, don’t hold yourself back just because you don’t meet some generally adviced number.

I genuinely have no idea, because I'm just now starting to get more experience when it comes to dating and relationships. All these redpillers online have me believe that sharing my struggles with depression and anxiety will turn girls off because it emasculates me. I don't know if I want a girlfriend if that's the case. I've always struggled with my mental health, having it be a minus to share it makes me probably want to be alone forever. I might open up about it in an hour with my girlfriend, any tips? Max

Hi everyone! @Leo Gura @Tyler Robinson @Yarco @Thought Art @Spiral @Federico del pueblo @Realms of Wonder @integral @Roy @LordFall @NoSelfSelf Just want to report that I had that conversation with my girlfriend and it turned out to be one of the best talks we ever had. 2+ hours on the phone talking about our demons and being able to set boundaries and for me specifically: being able to strongly ask for what I want. That in and of itself is amazing, because not only am I training my ability to confidently and non-needily state what I want, she also apparently finds it really attractive when I do so . It really feels like I'm actively doing shadow work in this relationship; confronting those parts of my masculinity that I've suppressed, and now being able to slowly slip back into these roles like dislocated joints back into their respective socket. Thank y'all for the comments, great tips here. Max

@Tyler Robinson This still seems so odd to me. It seems so intuitive to me that you share your deepest struggles with the person you're closest with, even if that makes you look weak for a moment

Alienating a contingent of a fanbase due to inflammatory statements towards transgender people is hardly anything to admire someone for. Sure you can share your opinions, but the way she does so is immature.

I hope you're joking lol

@Leo Gura Why do you find using the cracker slur ok? I get that it might be different from the n-word, because the n-word has all the history behind it, but I feel like slurs in and of themselves are a moral bad, if you want a good and kind society.

Some men are lucky in that they are predisposed to learning social skills quickly and easily, for others it comes with a lot more difficulties. Your frustration is definitely understandable; though I'm not as crude as some of these guys you are talking about, I do actively feel frustrated with my social abilities and how much energy it costs me. I wish it all came easier to me, but alas I am the way I am and this is what I'm working with. I think the most important part is that you aim your frustration at those who choose to remain ignorant and crude as opposed to those who lack in skill but want and work to improve them. I hope you have better experiences in the future.

It was a fucking meme . _ .

For anyone curious, Destiny is talking to JP on stream this saturday at 18:30 CEST. I'm super excited!

@Leo Gura It's not a debate or anything like that. They're just having a conversation for 1 hour.

@Ulax I feel pretty certain, yes! If you asked the same question to me last year, I wouldn't feel as sure, but right now I feel like Destiny has come quite a way. Certainly still into the bloodsports thing, but I feel like his ability to allow different perspectives and have respectful conversations (not so focused on 'owning' people) has really improved a lot. I'm really looking forward to see how these two interact @Jannes If you want to chat with his community Destiny.gg is your best bet, if you want to casually watch on youtube then go to his youtube channel

@Danioover9000 Yes! 6:30pm CEST PEPE wins
