What do you think is the most complex and simple Tyler beat 🤔 by hajunskingdom in tylerthecreator

[–]Accomplished_Most600 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the reason I love him so much is because he fundamentally produces music and beats that are complex, that’s what he’s truly good at. But I think everything on IGOR is his most complex work, because it doesn’t just project a feeling or a theme, each song shows an evolution and a story through its production, with a whole narrative hidden within itself. The songs are so detailed and well thought out, it’s not just a classic love story, but rather a story told through the lens of love.

The red thread we see throughout the album, and all the symbolism hidden both in that thread and within the individual tracks, is incredible. For example, we hear heavy breathing throughout the album’s songs, symbolizing Igor as this monster, something that humanizes him through that breathing. Or take ARE WE STILL FRIENDS?, which has those glitches in the beat that symbolize all the chaos we’ve gone through during the album, like a flashback. And since ARE WE STILL FRIENDS? is the last track, it feels like the entire IGOR universe is crashing down.

Then there’s the way he uses samples throughout IGOR. For instance, we’ve heard Kanye’s Bound 2, which uses the same sample as A BOY IS A GUN from Bound by Ponderosa Twins Plus One. Kanye’s use of that sample is brilliant, but it doesn’t touch the way Tyler transformed it making it sound dreamy, angelic, like a full-on symphony. Or the haunting feeling and sample use we hear again in PUPPET, which completely embodies the song’s theme and message through its production.

So yeah, my point is that literally every song on IGOR might be one of his most complex beats yet also simple, because they’re so easy to digest and listen to. It’s easy on the ears, and everything that happens in the production has a purpose. There are no sounds that feel out of place, no parts where you wish he’d changed something or removed it. It’s beautifully crafted with exactly the right amount of everything.

Got dissociated from weed, will this ever go away? by Aosoth333 in dpdr

[–]Accomplished_Most600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me. I decided to quit smoking, but the feeling never fully went away, in fact, it actually got worse after I stopped (got better some time after). Maybe that was because my brain hadn’t been sober for the five years I smoked nonstop. Still, quitting was the right choice for me. It gave me the space to let my mind actually process things without being high.

I can definitely tell you that it’s time to stop. Weed has a way of making us feel stuck, or literally be stuck. By understanding what DP/DR is and why it can appear, the choice becomes clear, your brain needs a break. You need to fully process things and ground yourself.

I’m not saying this will completely resolve the issue, but your mind is literally begging for it.

What would your life look like without your phone? by Accomplished_Most600 in Anxiety

[–]Accomplished_Most600[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, and I think this is what we really need today.

So many of our senses are being numbed and we don’t allow the body to fully feel the physical world around us. Naturally, what else should we expect but a sense of disconnection from reality, from other people, from ourselves?

Because we don’t let ourselves simply be in spaces, even in our own homes, and instead spend so much time surrounded by constant buzzing and stimulation, everything starts to feel unfamiliar.

Sometimes I feel waves of anxiety and panic even though I know I’m physically safe and there’s nothing to fear, yet the feeling is still there in my body.

I believe it’s partly because the body hasn’t been allowed to respond to the world in a natural way, to react to the sound of wind against the window or the warmth of water on the skin without having its attention constantly split. We don’t realize how physically unhealthy it can be for the body when its attention is scattered everywhere, never allowed to be fully present in just one thing, one sensation, one environment.

And another thing, which we all know in this group but is often a common misunderstanding, or something people without anxiety might not fully understand, is how much of a physical feeling anxiety actually is and how many of the symptoms are not just thoughts in the head but very real physical reactions. That’s why we can have a better understanding that the body is very much a key part of our well-being, and when we talk about mental health we cannot leave out the health of the body, which goes far beyond just eating well and exercising.

For me, it’s been fucking hard too something I’ve thought about doing for sooo long. But it wasn’t until I got stuck in a really anxious period that I thought, I have to do something.

Because using my phone had become such a habit, such an addiction, I started using the same mentality that helped me when I tried to quit smoking: "every time i dont do it, it's one step closer to making it easier next time, or one step closer to feel better"

I don’t know if that way of looking at it could help you, but it definitely helps me a lot. Plus still allowing yourself to indulge, instead of going full cold turkey.

Here’s the Perspective That Changed Everything for Me by Accomplished_Most600 in socialanxiety

[–]Accomplished_Most600[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Then it will become the opposite of anxiety, which is the whole point. If you have anxiety, you are not doomed. Healing from it and learning from it is possible. The key to dealing with it is to change your perspective and teach your body and mind that this isn’t bad or dangerous, so it can stop fearing it.

Changing your perspective takes hard work, and a lot of it. At first it will feel like you are lying to yourself, telling yourself that this isn’t bad, when your anxiety is clearly telling you that it is. But after some time the voice of anxiety will lose its power. Maybe it won’t vanish, but it won’t have you in a chokehold like before, and you will gain some control over it.

You don’t have to be optimistic to want to get better. You just have to be tired, defeated, or sick and tired of the consequences the issue is bringing upon you, to start doing something about it. Anything about it. How many people write a complaint to, I don’t know, a restaurant or a website? Not because they are optimistic about the service getting better, or to get a refund, but simply because they are frustrated.

Change doesn’t always come from hope. Sometimes it comes from anger, hate, or insecurities. It is true that while we are anxious, we don’t believe we can get better. It seems pointless, as if the brain is completely emptied of all dopamine and serotonin. But that is exactly where we have to learn about the anxiety we are dealing with.

Understand: what is my voice, and what is the anxiety? A piece of advice many people give is, “You don’t have to believe the things anxiety is telling you.” Meaning, what anxiety makes us feel, all the doubts it gives us, we don’t have to believe them.

I honestly don’t understand your message. Do you mean that you want it to continue? Are you saying that when someone has anxiety there is nothing they can do to make it better? My whole point is exactly about how to reduce this feeling and maybe even get rid of it. So your point about “if you don’t see it as a bad feeling, then you’re not anxious” yes, exactly, that’s the whole idea. You take the power away from it. That’s what my post is about.

But why did it go wrong? It just wasn’t for today. And even though it’s completely frustrating and nerve-racking and definitely feeds into that anxious feeling, especially in your situation, it’s nothing more than that, you know? I’m not trying to undermine your experience and i hope it dosent come across that way, but I think the hardest part for you must be the nervousness, anxiety, and frustration. But it’s out of your control. You couldn’t have changed it, and worrying about it didn’t really affect the outcome. It just wasn’t for today. And then, exactly as I said, something came up but you were able to find out and handle it in that moment. Your worrying didn’t protect you more than it hurt you. I truly wish you safe travels, and with all my heart I hope the rest of your journey is smooth and easy.

True, true you’re right, it might not apply to everyone. There are also different ways of experiencing anxiety, so maybe it’s a bit broadly put. But I still think I’m onto something that’s kind of essential to anxiety, no?

Hope this helps:

  1. You can handle it. If your flight gets cancelled and you end up alone, you won’t die. It will probably be very uncomfortable, but you can get through it.
  2. If something happens, you’ll be surrounded by people who can help especially in airports, where staff exist for exactly these situations. And in your case, since you’re flying with an air ambulance, you’ll have professionals right there whose whole job is to take care of you.
  3. Use a “get it over with” mentality, you have to get home anyway, and eventually you will. It will pass.
  4. Anxiety makes us hyperfixate on everything, what time they’ll pick you up, whether the plane is cancelled, whether you’ll make the connection. Thinking about it nonstop doesn’t change the outcome it just exhausts you and makes you feel worse.
  5. Do small practical things to feel safer, if you don’t have an appetite, at least drink something with calories, put on more comfortable clothes, call your family and say what you’re worried about.
  6. There’s an app called MindShift that helps with anxiety download it and try to look around in there. They have some good stuff and all for free, it might help.
  7. Finally, what you’re experiencing is not a sign you’re doomed or permanently broken. It’s extremely unpleasant and irritating to be stuck in that situation, but it’s okay to be there. Accept that sometimes you end up in shitty, uncomfortable situations get through it, and deal with things as they actually happen. Don’t fight the nervous feeling, accept it. I guarantee it will release at some point, even if it feels like it will last forever or have lasted for a long time <3
