How to become a "real man "?

Being bullied in school can fuck you up more than you realise, speaking from experience. It causes you to learn all sorts of coping mechanisms that affect you negatively for the rest of your life.

For example bullied kids often learn that not reacting is a good way to stop bullies from targeting them as much, so they learn to ignore problems instead of facing them head on.

Or they learn that self-expression/uniqueness = pain, so they learn to be shy and invisible.

Or you end up with crippling social anxiety because your lizard brain learns to associate all other people with pain.

Yes, but in fact I think that most victims of school bullying are because their parents instilled their own insecurities, in an incidious way, into their education.

Have you tried modafinil? bupropion? 

I tried modafinil it certainly helps with fatigue 

but i think it’s just a short time solution and i don’t use it often, don’t think I’ve tried bupropion

I think this is more how bullies are created. You have mentally ill parents who beat or psychologically abuse their kids turning them into monsters.

The kids who get bullied are basically anyone who doesn't conform enough, which could be for a variety of reasons unrelated to parents.

Or the kid already has not great confidence because of his parents and then bullies pray on the weak

You must be one drugged-up dude. Stop keep recommending drugs to people all the time, no one wants to become schizophrenic. There are other ways to deal with things. Gosh. Your drug vocabulary beats the pharmacist's.

Both victims and bullies repeat scenarios repeated in a trans-generational manner.

If you see animals as useless short-lived creatures who have no place in human lives and when a cat dies you say it's just a cat, no worries, humans are better. If all you can recommend to people are drugs and pharmaceuticals to cope with life's challenges and if you name yourself Schizophonia and drink Coco Cola all day, I'LL PASS.

I understand you.

But can you just contradict what I said and not just complain because you find my advice too radical/crazy?
I'm telling the truth, it doesn't matter whether it seems brutal to you or anyone else.
This is particularly true in the health field, the day you lose your health you will be very happy to be able to be advised by people who have pulled out their hair before you.
Believe me, if it were possible to treat this type of illness with random supplements, I would be the first to know.

This is where the self-deception comes in. There are no Truths. Only the One Truth. Even what I said isn't true, they are only my perceptions and the way I look at things. I can only (and this is just my way) veer from my own beliefs if what I'm veering towards seem more loving and have a more unified take from an existential POV. I'm aware that I am constructing my reality and I'm aware that I am limiting myself and pushing away certain things that doesn't fit into what I'm constructing, (of course, it's all subconsciously done, but I'm aware of it).

It's not about radical/crazy. If it's purposely being done , then it's coming from a place of trying to be different. I'm open to a lot of things and I'm not stuck in any particular way or belief system, but it seems you're a bit rebellious and trying to not conform but are not being sincere about as far as just being how you want to be and less of what is best for your well being. Seems like you are trying to veer from a "normal" way of thinking because you're aware that society' way is not for you. It's not for me either, but I'm aware how I can deceive myself into thinking my way is the correct way and thus paradigm lock.

Yes, I will look to others for help but the quality of help you receive depends on the person giving it, so I will try to choose that wisely. Also, I don't consider it "losing health" but just a temporary health condition. The mind is tricky, so I try to phrase things in a particular way.

How is your libido? have you ever tested prolactin? testosterone? thyroid hormones? 24-hour single-unit test of catecholamine and serotonin metabolites?

Boy boy, I'm 24 and seeing the same. It's a sedentary lifestyle that's got us bro, let's leave it for good.

I've noticed it's 1000% a serotonin issue. In my experience when I'm not a solid part of society I feel too fluid to stand for my right.

In a way, it's due to being too open with bullshit spirituality (too much mental masturbation!)

did you hit the gym today? Punched the boxing bag? Fasted?

The last two do wonders. Also, mushrooms tend to give you some dope-ass insights and change the way you see everything, but it's due mainly to serotonin again.

Libido is decent. Went to an endocrinologist like 8 yrs ago for fatigue , anxiety etc. He said testo is higher than he expected. . Could also be because i was taking zinc at the time. Weird thing with me and zinc is i’m usually low in tests. But when i take zinc supplements I can’t really sleep so I can’t take them. thyroid was ok. Don’t know about the other stuff

Dizziness, nausea yea but not regular headaches or migraines. Also easily inflamed gut. Did the colonoscopy etc.

generally low bp

You could order a few grams of 10 methoxy harmalan (6 methoxy is supposedly more physiological, but also not too studied so idk) on sigma aldrich and dilute in a dropper. (requires a quality precision balance, to miligram ready at least).

Very effective and probably much safer than an amphetamine.

And why would that be beneficial?

just for energy?

i’d rather find a root cause than treating symptoms and making it worse in the long run

For your general well-being.

You don't need to use these kinds of products every day, rather here and there when you need to be more energetic/creative.
Parsimonious use can also help you put yourself in virtuous circles in the long term, that's basically how endocrinology and neurotransmitter balance work.

But above all, it's not about "diving" into treatments, just casually experimenting.

+ Mea culpa, in fact it is 6 methoxy which is the most studied, among other derivatives of beta carboline.

Psychedelics are basically antiserotonergic, partials agonists that compete with serotonin depending on their affinity for this or that 5HT receptor. 
Hallucinations, conceptual intelligence etc etc come from the increase in glutamate/dopamine due to a reduction in serotonergic signaling or sometimes directly through direct agonism of glutamate/catecholamines (as is the case with LSD).

It all depends on your genetics, but for most people, 5 MeO DMT will be one of the most serotonergic psychedelics, will "shut down" your mind, lack of hallucination, give you anxiety/nausea and has some poses a real risk of serotonin syndrome.

LSD will be the most anti-serotonergic, with absolutely zero risk of serotonin syndrome, an absence of nausea/anxiety, euphoria then powerful sexual arousal, and above all an “increase in the field of consciousness”.

Mushrooms are probably somewhere in between.
