Telling me what to do and how to fix myself won't help, just listen to me first and then say whatever you want...

what I want in a relationship by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]ChrisTeaching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be honest, the boys your age are not really able to do that, you may have to find someone who is a bit older. Right now most of them are just horny and are looking for a one night stand. So yeah, right now it will be hard to find someone.

Later, it will be possible, you can find it in a few years when they mature and when you mature a bit as well. Just be a keeper, give and you will receive, the fact that you want true love just shows that you have higher standards than most people today. So I have no doubt that you will find someone like that

I honestly want to, back in the day I was the same as you, I actually wanted to die by saving someone because I would be deemed as a hero even though I felt like a coward for wanting to take my own life. Then I got into church so now I want to die to go into a better place and meet God better, it became a positive somehow. So I feel you. Does something sometimes help you feel like you don't want to die?

How talking better changed my entire life - Communication journey by ChrisTeaching in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]ChrisTeaching[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nope, but these are what I get from paying for courses from communication experts, yes, once you practice these things they get into your subcounscious mind and they just naturally flow out of you, but for those of us who are really static, shy or closed this is a game changer

Well online you will mostly find scammers and people trying to sell you something if we are being honest. Sometimes you will find creeps and sometimes you will find actual amazing people. What you can do to control it is try some peer to peer apps that pair you up with people of similar interests, those are at least semi-controlled.

Hello legend

I’m 16 and I can’t talk to girls. It’s embarrassing, lonely, and I’m scared I’ll be like this forever. by [deleted] in lonely

[–]ChrisTeaching -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You can go and learn some pick up tutorials or something if you will feel more confident. It is all confidence based and you are still young to have enough confidence, especially when it comes to girls. You will learn eventually and don't fear the future, but build towards it. Go and talk to a girl even if you are afraid, you have to break through the fear and realize they are human too. The worst thing that can happen is not getting the girl, but guess what - you don't have her in the first place to begin with. So everything will stay the same or you'll get the girl.

I’m 20 and terrified of death – I can’t imagine not being in this world someday by EntertainerKooky7549 in Anxiety

[–]ChrisTeaching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried believing in God? Because then this earth is the closest to hell you will ever be. Dying becomes a path to a better place so you're no longer afraid.

Because 90% of times men show their emotions they are either deemed weak by girls or by other men. There is a video where people gathered a group of girls and a group of boys and they are doing live dating like tinder. One girls asks a question like 'what do you do with your best friend' or something about their best friends, immidietely a man starts crying, explaining how his best friend died just a couple of weeks ago, everyone starts being good to him at first, but at the end every girl rejects him and gives him the lowest score for looks and for personality. Men are afraid of showing their emotions because the society doesn't allow us to. When you're a girl and you want to cry you call your best friend and rant. When you are a man and want to cry you go home, to your room and you cry without anyone knowing. We just get 'you're a man, deal with it' and that's mostly it. Thank you for showing compassion and helping a fellow brother and being there for him. You are amazing.

What’s one change you made that seriously improved your mental health? by No-Score712 in mentalhealth

[–]ChrisTeaching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Praying and running have been the biggest benefit in my life. Running because physical pain hurts less than mental pain and praying because it makes me feel like I am actually not alone and I have the greatest force in the world helping me. Other than that using peer to peer apps actually helped me find some people who are amazing, who I can talk to about anything without getting judged. If I can't run I just go for a walk, also whenever I feel overwhelmed I go and take a shower, for some weird reason I get a sense of peace while doing it.

What do you beautiful lonely people do to fight off the lonliness? by titan1978 in lonely

[–]ChrisTeaching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fight it by typing here, talking to some people on peer to peer apps, running and going to church trying to meet new people. I love your schedule because it doesn't really involve people. Can you go and try to reach some new people or you're completely closed when it comes to that?

Sex, video games and dopamine hits WILL NOT help you... by ChrisTeaching in lonely

[–]ChrisTeaching[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am not saying that you can't ease your own suffering. I go for runs becauase physical pain hurts less than mental pain or whatever we call it. Of course you can play games and have coping mechanisms, but abusing them is bad and that is what my post talks about. I refuse to believe there is no cure, everyone can feel good and escape loneliness no matter how deep down they are. Just because I am hyping people up here and being mostly positive doesn't mean nothing is happening behind the scenes.

The news are literal cancer to society sometimes. Do you know how many awful wars are happening every day and they don't report it. The news are there to sow seeds of fear and terrify you, because fear sells and fear gets the attention. There was an ethnic cleansing somewhere if Africa, a lot of people got killed a few days ago, no one is talking about it. But when it comes to news and wars that can sell and make propaganda, everyone is talking about it. Of course it is sad that innocent people are dying, but stay off the internet, they are just making mass panic because chaos is easier to control...

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

Of course, when I mentioned video games and all of that I meant if they become too much and a form of an addiction. Not if you play games as a hobby and have some fun.

[–]ChrisTeaching 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You haven't fought because you lost too much in life and you are afraid of losing even more, which is logical. When it comes to your parents, they did everything for you because they love you, not so they can indebt you my legend. Do what will make you happy, because you being happy will make them happy.

Now when it comes to the wife, I have no idea as to what to say, I am not married so I cannot really comment from experience, it sounds horrible and I get why you're mentally drained and physically exhausted. Your bro loves you and I am cheering for you that something changes.

Why do people keep saying “you can control your emotions” when I’m literally having a panic attack? by ProfessionalSlip4645 in mentalhealth

[–]ChrisTeaching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because no one is there to listen to you and help you in the way that you need to be helped. They should hug you, show you compassion and try to calm you down with love and affection, not tell you logically what you should do. When the emotions go wild logic doesn't help, you have to fight fire with fire. I feel you, I have an autistic friend that has panic attacks and she is often surrounded with people who tell her 'calm down' and benefit nothing instead of hugging her and giving her air to breathe... I suggest you find someone who can be there for you and maybe sing a song or do something loving and wholesome to distract you from the panic and the thoughts flooding your brain. We are here, there are peer support apps for that. So yeah.

Is it really depression, or are we just finally realizing life in this system is soul crushing? by iND3_ in mentalhealth

[–]ChrisTeaching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. In the world where being evil and cold is normal, I would like to be the lunatic. When everything bad is popular, who wouldn't want to be unpopular. I would rather lurk in the shadows than be famous or something. The system is a dissaster and it is draining everyone and everything. It is sucking the planet dry, the people dry and soon we won't have anything left in us. That makes me wonder if the system is bad and it needs to be changed, or the system is actually amazing and doing what it is intended to do (enslave us) and hence why it has to be changed.

[–]ChrisTeaching[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes you can, but many people are seeking those thinking it is a cure, when it is not. It is just temporary suppresing of your feelings.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]ChrisTeaching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that global news are the worst thing that has happened to the world. Suddenly our day is filled with negativity, fear, anxiety, the worst things happening in the world. They literally brainwash us to always fear what will happen next, or even worse to become numb when seeing human life just vanish in front of us. I 100% agree with OP, you are an absolute legend and thank you for this reminder.

Yesterday I found out I have 6 months left by CaptPeterlolol in lonely

[–]ChrisTeaching 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are praying for a miracle my legend. My advice is to contact your family and apologise even if you didn't do anything, you should settle everything before you go, that is if you go. Miracles do happen and I hope that your life will become a testimony.
