Barbarian Number 8

@Seed Could be nce to put it in a frame without glass (so you can add pics).

@General 2 The perfect time to start is when you are good and ready. It might be an advantage, timewise, to have an early start. Life is about the journey not the goal.

@Jamie Universe I have never found a mentally well grounded teenager. They always leaks massive amounts of fluids from one end or another. Soooo, you might feel at ease. When your hormones calm down and schools out...then there might be reasons to worry. One trick would be to tilt your head back and nose up. This makes the tearcanals to empty on the inside in the throat instead. In adult life it doesen´t seems to be of matter what ones sexualpreference is. I might not be the norm in this case thou, beacuse I don´t care about other peoples sexualorientation. Good luck with exploring life!

@Shin I am currently looking after yoga places in my town. I will go and talk to the yougis there. Could be fun How it works and so on.

Age is a tricky thing. Women mature earlier than men, so the man should then be a bit older. In Sweden one may have sex at the age of 15 and are considered adults at 18. The age difference seems to matter less the older one couple gets. I guess stability and selknowledge plays a bigger part then.

@Faceless That is very true. Althou that discovery never ends and changes, I am pretty sure what I want for my current being. Also, I do expect to be supriced to. I have noticed that the more one have lived, the more detailed "the list" becomes. Thank you for the wishes friend!

@vibrate -Thank you very much. But, I am 44 years old, soo...ja. I would put a males prime/SMV somewhere betwen 35-40. You are right about the outlayers on the specter. Those are kind of what I am hoping to find on the market. Those yoga odds certenly looks good. I will see what the Kundalini and Kriya involves for moves. My body is broken, so some moves would make me scream. Thank you for the tips!

@Ryan_047 ...As they say in my country..."stop looking at your bellybutton!"..... You should interact with people, IRL. If you don´t, you become a wierdo and if it festers...you will become an internet Troll ! The good thing is that you are aware of your problem. Normally "action" is a component to add.

@Psyche_92 It is a drug. You will get withdrawal. Pick up more hours at work.

@WildeChilde Thailand would be a good place to start. It offers the full spectrum, from total attack on the senses to serine contemplation. Also, it is cheap or as expensive as you want. Europe differs a lot, depending on what part you visit. Living in the modern developed part, I consider some of the other countries to be like timetravel backwards. Germany would be a step forward thou. You can clearly see how some countries struggles with adapting to indoor plumbing whilst you might feel like a pampered techie i others. It is interesting to study the different values and goals they have. You probably should hurry up thou. The European original culture will soon be gone. I would avoid Africa and the middle east and focus on Asia. You being an American....well......let´s say that you will get the oppertunity to learn...alot....

@alyra If you actually been in the position of dying, a few times, then I believe that you don't fear death. If it is just at an intellectual, logical, philosophical level /discussion....then.....well....-Do you know when people have an opinion about something of matter and then they are put in a position to actually handle the matter? Shit gets real...as they say. In my experience death is not to be feared but respected. The actuall question should be: Is life to be valued? If I spoke purely for discussions sake I would answear this: ...with this: Make a baby then decide if you will abort it. Some people would name apathy as "enlightment"- I don´t. I belive and think there is a differance.

@Nahm hehe! -Damnit! Now you got me worried!

@Girzo Hmmm, I was actually considering picking up yoga. Could be fun. But the turn-off there would be that I heard people fart alot when practecing!? I don´t know why, but it would kill the romance for me. I learned to stay away from western-shoppingmalls, the girls there are very materialistic and also mostley unemployed. Any place that mall aircon is a plus, the pick up selection is better. I am a minimalist, so malls usually rubbs me the wrong way. Except the foodcourt...me loves them! I will try out more music festivals, it might work. The cafés at city centres are good places I think (but not in my country).

@Ayilton Very true. But my hand cramped up and I want to share my life. So, to put it in perspective.....I was sitting under a palmtree at Kata beach, toes in the sand and me eating bananapancakes and drinking a coconut. I was thinking...it would be nice to share with an equal, someone to do adventures with. I am suspecting that at some point in selfdevelopment, there is the stage of sharing. I might be wrong. I am still in development...

@Nahm Ja, I guess you are right. But my biological clock is ticking and now that I have most thing where I am happy with them, I started focusing on reproducing with a lifecompanion. It will not complete me, but it will add to my experience.....I think.....I hope....I want to try....

@Sippycup Hej! haha! I think that you might be right. Selfactualizition seems to be a somewhat solitary lifestyle. Tinder is not a so big thing in my country. Also the peoplementality here is as cold and isolated as the weather and 4 layers of clothing. The lack of sun really messes up peoples desire to mingle. I am sorry to say that there are very few "advanced" people in my biome. I am usually the smartest one in the room and _that_ is very depressing when trying to selfactualize. On the upside I get hit upon, but....not by anybody that I want or can see a future with. Also, we have the agething. I am 44 and that means that all the best fruits where picked up in the morning and now at midday, only the leftovers and the singlemoms are at the market. Ja, I prefer to meet in person. I am at my best when being "experienced", not in writing and photo. But I will try your youtube-advice. It can be a beginning of something good or practice, to widen the search. If it works out, I will name my firstborn: @Sippycup !

I would ignore the rushed timeframe that he put on you. Let him know that you come visit after op. If he wants the drama with you running there before op, wish him good luck and goodbye. Why would you be his emotional bandage? He probably fears death by now and will do anything to ease it. That really got nothing to do with you. He does not know you. Give it a week to normalize after op, then visit. I doubt that will happen thou. Take the visit as an investigation about your own health. Find out his medical history and look at him and pictures to see how you will age. See if you have more siblings. Check to see about inheretance. Good luck with the "why". Not much else to be had there. If it cost too much, I would not bother. He main goal is to get your forgivness. Sure, give it to him. Just say the words. Then see what value you got for him. I know that I one day will be in your situation, so thats why I replyed to your post. I wish you well.

Ja, one destinction would be a person that is comfortable with having a pleasant personality and being liked, versus somebody who pretends to be likable in order to get something. Abundance vs. scarcity mindset I guess. I know this can be changed. I also know that it cannot be changed. The determant for what causes change seems to be awareness and desire to improve. Mr. @Viking seems to have both. That is something positive. Something that might be negativ would be the weight he gives "likability" in order to achive "fullfilment". I believe the focus should be changed towards innercore development and some of the other problems will partly autocorrect and loose their significants. The "loveissue" is a whole other chapter. You, @Shin , open up a very interesting discussion about "a distinct personality". Consider an actualizing development......how will that effect the "distinct personality"?

@Viking You are designed to be that way. That is how your genetics have survived all those generations. If not liked, tribe kick you out, no shared resourses and protection. Big sabertooth tiger eat you ass. End of line. Maybe you should just roll withit? Likeble people are nice people to have around.

Leo got some great clips about wanting reality to be what it not is.

@Ibn Sina Time. Simply time. You have a lot of it if you can indulge in that behavior. If you get a life, your mind will be busy with that instead. The best thing would be if you ended up in a prolongedsurvivalsituation, where you yourself needed to take action. What really matters totally wipes out bullshit very fast. I recommend that you start working with some really physicallabour, outdoors and with real men. The body work will tire you out, force presens of mind and the men will not accept bullshit and hold you accountable for showing up and putting in an honest days work. There will be no time for you to run away and hide in your mind then. The outdoors will litterly blow some fresh air into your brain/mind. When you become more balanced, I think that your writing and choice of words was really good and you seem very gifted with the pen. So there could be a brilliant carrer for you within that field. One problem with overly intelligent people, and I think that you are one, would be fixation, selfcenterdness and fragile egos. This can result in the inability to actually move on/get unfrozen/get out of a thoughtloop/take action. I would bet that you by now are part pissedoff and part discombobulated? Well, know that I mean well and that you do need a kick in the ass to move forward. Where do your mind go? To problemsolving, that you asked for or back to mindlooping? You know where, if you do take constructive action with your problem.

@Emne Money. Everything else is "luxury-focus".

It was a reply to you saying, in your headline/subject: "Is there a problem in technology or social media to connect to other person?" and the further "What do you think??, about the connection and having a great conversation to another person using social media.. ". None at all.......a... problem. If focus on topic and train of thought can be mantained. In a way, your reply was really funny! I don´t know if you ment it so, I would if I could see your face.

You are programmed and reinforced every day to do so. To put it simply, socialengineering. Discover minimalism and you can basicly get a better life. Things are dead, memories/xp are not. Both requires money. Pick the one you want.

@Light Lover I don´t believe in forced mastering. Maybe you should do something else?
