But modern society can be very stressful and very distracting, do we at least agree on this?

I wasn't trying to reduce it to a common denominator. You simply cannot take out the interactive part of it. In fact it's a component of it. You're still engaged in this component.

Believe me we're. You crave it even though you criticize it. You won't be on a forum otherwise no matter how much you deny it. Would be a different thing if you were simply lurking and reading posts. If you're talking to anyone, whether it be face to face or through text in a personal context or just generally on a forum like this, as you type you're exchanging energy with the other person. You think it's simply responding to people's posts, like reading pixels on the screen. Although it's not the most potent personal direct form of interaction, it's still interactive to a milder degree. I hope you aren't thinking of me as a robot in which case your point would have been valid.

You don't speak from experience. I've found high quality people, though rarely, they have benefitted me beyond the scope of what I would have imagined was possible. In fact even the bad socializing was a tuning fork towards growth, although the risks are a bit heavy, depending on your emotional stamina, yet the good kind of socializing was helpful in learning an awful lot from others, the irony right now is that what you're doing with me, all of this interaction, in one way or another is characteristic of socializing as well, just that you don't see it. Man simply cannot afford to not want to talk to people and interact with his species, even the hardest introverted bunch among us for that matter.

You could indulge in junk food or you could indulge in healthy food.. Choice is always yours. You can't blame the food.

You'll always meet a few bad apples. Just be glad that nothing worse happened. Always be prepared for such things. It's quite common to get into a feud where people gather.... Example, bar brawls. For whatever reasons, such places attract tensed crowds and the crowding, booze or loud music can impact people mentally and they can get aggressive. I would actually expect things like that to occur on the regular in those places just by the sheer volume of people packed in one place, it can be headache inducing and stressful and maybe the other person was perhaps having a bad day, maybe they got into a fight with someone in the vicinity or on the phone {angry texting} and that can explain their bad mood apart from the alcohol. You never hear of brawls on the beach, people are usually very calm there, guess the waves and the sand calm their alpha waves.

You're looking at this in a very myopic way. The benefits of socializing will hinge on the quality of socializing. If you are hanging out with a low shallow crowd, it's going to be revolting to your intelligence. Hanging out with people that match your intellectual and emotional frequency will help you learn and share and grow together, that's one of the best ways to grow, the only caveat being that you need to put in your hardest to collect the gem of people that you wish to surround yourself with. Being around low vibrational people is always going to hurt. They will bring down your progress, both material and spiritual.. Choosing people with high consciousness is a gamble that pays you off really well in the end, you'll find people that will bring enormous social and emotional acumen to your life, something you'll badly miss out on if you're too engaged with a low consciousness crowd.

Maybe you just haven't found the right people.

I'm sorry you're going through this. It's a valid concern. And I feel that a lot of people are not getting your struggles here. You have every right to complain about it. I also get this vibe that lots of people kinda gaslighted you on this thread in a cheap attempt to make their claims. You should invest in alternative sources of income at this point. The world will always move on in the worst directions not caring about who they are stamping on.

Consciousness or intelligence is very much contingent upon your own level of passion and commitment to values that consistently align you to freedom and spirituality and away from the illusion of materialism. The level of intellectual and emotional maturity needed for the same has to be outstanding.

This is very hard to have because most humans are simply incapable of escaping their self biases yet we can collectively take measures to expose these biases on a societal level, something that you see in the modern cancel culture movements on places like Twitter.

That's actually a good sign. I did the same and I don't regret it.

I bet you can easily find high consciousness friends out there.

You'll need to separate yourself from materialism.

I'm deeply disturbed by this. What if someone is biased against you?

God you reminded me of Alan Watts. That thought has always been at the back of my mind.

By disrupting the clattering "outside" world, you permit your thoughts to flow freely. This promotes relaxation and mental exploration. once our thoughts flow like this, we tend to area unit during a state referred to as alpha waves. after we unite within the alpha zone, we tend to intuit calm and don't think about something as a compulsion. Dream breaks are not simply fun; they're necessary to enter relaxed states. Our minds area unit unable to take care of focus and productivity unrelenting, sensible brain health needs some regular time, especially when a protracted day at work or when a disagreement with a colleague, let your mind drift to one thing - - all unacquainted and fun. This may assist you IN forgetting and be aloof from tough things. Having a tool like Daydreaming at our disposal is very helpful once handling perceived threats or thronged environments. It's another tool within the psychological state toolkit for avoiding stress and anxiety. If you're feeling more and more anxious, you will wish to present yourself a daydream and follow these steps: The first step is to induce aloof from your table, workplace, or any distractions. Then take a deep breath. Then exhale slowly. repeat. Finally, think about one thing fun and purposeful to you. You can imagine yourself in your favorite place, enjoying long walks within the forest. otherwise you will trust the new automobile you wish to shop for. What color can it be? What options can it have? are you able to imagine however amazing it feels within the driver's seat?

We all have weaknesses. Whether it's cravings for alcohol, cigarettes, unhealthy food, a social media obsession, or the video game Fortnite (what the hell is this game, by the way?!), it works. The same for us. Weaknesses don't only appear in areas where we lack self-control. We all have strong suits and things that make us uncomfortable. For example, I don't mind difficult conversations, the long paperwork involved in searching through old documents I didn't save in the first place, staying calm when someone shoots me, or calling automated phone systems. So I have actively (or intentionally) avoided these activities. Now, I try to confront them directly or delegate them to someone else. (Never forget the art of micro-delegating!)

Give space to yourself. Don't beat yourself up for bad days. Keep yourself cheerful and do things that you really love doing. I've a thread on motivation in the mental section. That might help you.

Lsd helps. Is what I've heard.

Yea everything is an illusion I agree. Once you begin to see only love everywhere you realize everything is perfect the way it is. Even selfishness is love.

@Carl-Richard yup. Music can help heal mental disorders. I have to do more research on this area. The mechanism of how this comes about isn't exactly clear. But it definitely helps to rewire the brain.

Sometimes God passes by While you are busy making plans And suddenly it hits you and you realize You're just a speck of dirt in the universe Yet God knows you

@Carl-Richard have you looked into the connection between music and the brain?

This sounds similar to God realization. Keep em coming.
