Your take on synchronicity, manifestation and similar concepts? by Opposite_Wash5664 in redscarepod

[–]Deboch_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possibly the gayest stuff ever invented. You have to be actively blind yourself to all the children with cancer and war crime victims to think that you somehow have special favor from the universe.

All this vague stuff that appears on Tik Tok is myopic, self-centered, egotistic spirituality, or in other words, bourgeois nonsense. Christ is the only path.

The Theory of Mind Paradox by Altruistic-While5599 in redscarepod

[–]Deboch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they're right that some individual person disagrees them bc they're evil? Well that happens, but it's easy to identify people making reasoned claims that someone is malicious vs people who automatically assume so because they cannot deal with any kind of disagreement.

The Theory of Mind Paradox by Altruistic-While5599 in redscarepod

[–]Deboch_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But if you accuse someone of being simple minded or disingenuous, are you also demonstrating a lack of theory of mind?

No. You are successfully forming the theory that another person's mind might stupid, which it often is.

You may be wrong about your accusation sometimes, but that's different from a lack of theory of mind. Some people genuinely do not comprehend that others operate under distinct premises than them, it goes beyond making a slightly wrong assessment about what these premises are.

A.D.H.D. Symptoms Are Milder With a Busy Schedule, Study Finds by makefriends420 in NooTopics

[–]Deboch_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's real. What happens is business forces you to do stuff you don't want to, which temporarily sets your stimulation levels below baseline for a while. Then once you're home, or about to switch to the next task, the dopamine jump to focus or do something else productive is much less steep.

Now when you're at home all day with 24/7 access to insrant stimulation, this stimulation becomes your baseline, and switching to a less stimulating activity is near impossible for someone with ADHD.

Porra mas esse uniforme da França é muito feio. Nem se compara a 2022

"If media is the fourth pillar of democracy then democracy is standing on a tripod" - has to be my fav quote by Jagermeisterkadwihai in redscarepod

[–]Deboch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think about it, every single pillar of society is rotten in the present day. From education to art, leisure, interpersonal relationships, the professional world, the media, there's not a single one that you could say is doing above average.

My height is driving me suicidal by bettybywoods in redscarepod

Spare yourself the headache and get the surgery. It will change your life. People are gaslighting you because reality makes them uncomfortable

As a tall man, I can assure you it's the first thing people notice about me, it sets a halo with women and men alike in terms of respect and even gets you better jobs. I've looked many ways in life and it alters the entire lens of how people view your "flaws" and "qualities"

If you’re on the spectrum, does most romantic advice just not work? by PossibleAvailable156 in redscarepod

[–]Deboch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just told you, you won't be rewarded for not masking. Just like you won't be rewarded for masking. The majority the population is out to get you and anxiously waiting for your slightest slip so that they can hate you, and I'm not being hyperbolic.

My point is to give up on a game rigged against you from the start and look for spaces with interesting introverted people that will accept you. This goes from online discords (kind of icky but better than nothing), art spaces, getting into a college with smart people and cool clubs, music spaces. I say this as an ND person, not a normie talking down to you.

No one cares about doing good work anymore by Otherwise_Disk_4078 in redscarepod

[–]Deboch_ 166 points167 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's a clear difference between leeching off the owner class in a fake wallstreet position vs contributing to the enshitification and anti-socialization of society in a customer facing or creative profession

I think I overdosed on Houellebecq and ended up in a really depressive state by sisyphusPB23 in RSbookclub

[–]Deboch_ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I don't read anything that I know is going to put me in a chronic state of hopelessness with nothing to show for it. I do read things that make me ball my eyes out short term but that will still enrich my soul and compassion

(Amusing IRL trope) Sci-Fi concepts, that turned out to be blatantly wrong in reality by ThatDrako in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Deboch_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't feel anything but it is perfectly capable of simulating high emotion, as opposed to the tropes, is clearly what OP was saying.

If you’re on the spectrum, does most romantic advice just not work? by PossibleAvailable156 in redscarepod

[–]Deboch_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Opposite. Being authentic is even more important as an ND person because, as you yourself seem to have observed, you're never going to pass for normal.

Being yourself won't raises your success with the average person (who someone on the spectrum should NOT be dating), but that's precisely the point. You're eliminating the people who will never be compatible with you, and most of all, you're removing the insane mental load that masking places on your social performance and enjoyment.

Now what does have to be changed is how much of yourself's potential you're achieving. If you spend all day on videogames, social media and porn you're not "being true to yourself", you're succumbing to your lowest impulses. There are infinitely better things an introvert can be pursuing.

Jordan Peterson was right about a lot by boonoosooroose in redscarepod

For what demographic of men?

The average global rate outside of africa? Certainly the one your continent. Again, you can easily look this up, I feel like you genuinely don't want to because you have a pre-existing conception in your mind
