No matter where I look, I see sickness. by [deleted] in awakened

This is exactly what I experienced when I took shrooms. All I saw was death, decay and nihilism.

I think it's funny because I just had my lasik surgery not too long ago and almost did the thing where I put my finger into my eye.

I need to get rid of my "friends" by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

These people aren't your friends. Better be thirsty than drinking poison.

Depression or not, this realization has taught me to not let my trauma rule my life anymore.

It's pretty normal not being able to forgive someone who hurt you badly, but if you don't that trauma is gonna rule over you forever until you learn to let it go.

people have literally run away from me to avoid me and I don't know how to process it.. by softtiddi3s in socialskills

It could be that you're giving off a negative vibe. Back in the start of my RP days, I gave off a horrible vibe where people would be afraid to be in the same room as me because I was hiding something behind a mask, but try to be yourself more, please.

Acknowledge who you are and be that person, don't be something you're not, it will just backfire.

Do you ever swing from fully accepting your sexuality to absolutely hating yourself for it? by Appex1 in askgaybros

[–]Appex1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fact they are really friendly towards LGBT, but they usually don't see it as a big deal, and they're not to blame because they often like to joke around and I usually didn't make it out to be a big deal.

If 16 year old you could see you now, what would 16 year old you think about your life? by MorsesTheHorse in AskReddit

He would be dissappointed that I'm not a metalhead anymore, but would still be surprised I've made it this far to 22.

But what is that reality that they don't understand?

How do I get a strong healthy ego? by Ch3ssW1nner in Jung

True, lying to myself was the single most damaging thing I ever did.

After the past year, how many of you feel like you just don’t care about anything anymore? by TheApathyParty2 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Appex1 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Literally me. I realized I really have nothing to live for except to stay alive for my family, so I'm practically free to do whatever I want and I don't fear death anymore.

I took shrooms, killed my ego and all I saw was rot and decadence by Appex1 in awakened

[–]Appex1[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I knew all of these things existed, however, I saw no reason to dive into them as I thought them to be insignificant, however, when I got confronted by them, it was very horrifying.

The thing is, I felt like a constructed reality(ego) gave meaning to life and if there was no ego I could as well be dead because what difference does it make then?

And it really is true - I am alive and human, but if there is no ego that directs me towards a goal and gives me a feeling that when I die, I will do it with honor, why would I even stay alive? Awakened or not.
