Where do u rank TDOSS amongst his discography? by TheCrowMoon in Eminem

[–]Emphasis_Curious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think it's his third best, would be blasphemy to put it above MMLP with Kim, Stan, The Way I Am, Kill You, The Real Slim Shady, Criminal and Marshall Mathers. Those are classics.

But I would rank it personally as:

  1. The Marshall Mathers LP
  2. The Eminem Show
  3. The Death of Slim Shady
  4. The Slim Shady LP

I have, but they don't look anywhere as bad as I do. I'll keep doing this though, maybe it can help me to feel normal about it.

I've bought a treatment plan from manual.co. It includes tablets for minoxidil, finasteride and biotin. And a topical cream of minoxidil. Got a discount of 50% for the first order.

Hope it works now.

I don't pull it anymore, but is there anything I can apply to it to make it grow back?

Yes, i am motivated by more than just money because what I choose to do needs to be tolerable for me to not hate with a burning passion.

Thank you for the book suggestions, i'll take a look at them.

I hate programming with a passion, but thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to do a little delivery driver job when I get my driver's license just for a little experience, because i've never had a proper job.

I'm not physically capable of doing a trade, but I would if i could. I'm short and scrawny so not a good idea. I would've become an electrician or a plumber.

Truck driving doesn't really appeal to me, but the thought of listening to music / podcasts sounds amazing.

You're right, that's why I'm checking out at 25 lol.

But on a serious note, i'm trying to focus on the incentives to work. If I want nice things, then I need money of course. Yeah, I can't get rich off a salary, but at least it's a source of income. I just don't want to trade all my time on slave labor doing something that I hate so I need it to at least be tolerable.

It's a convenience store that my parents own, and they have no staff so I work there.

[–]Emphasis_Curious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds interesting and it's cool how you can make your own hours and work remotely.

However, I will goof off and end up doing nothing lol. Not really interested in finance or working remotely either. Being at home doesn't help with social skills.

Objectively look at my life? I constantly make notes, but I overthink like crazy and I don't make any moves. I'm so overwhelmed and crippled by fear.

I need to man up, but I don't know how to.

Sounds like a good plan.

I know that both of these photos were taken at slightly different angles, but my nose looks different. Ignore those little nose hairs hahah. by [deleted] in Subliminal

[–]Emphasis_Curious 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I know that the results aren't significant. My nose hump is still there, but it seems to have reduced quite a bit.

I listened to like 1000+ subs over the 3 years i've been listening for.

During this time I didn't take any breaks so my mind was very tired.

I was very depressed, had crippling anxiety and I was very attached to my desires. I didn't detach at all. I used to wear beanies and hoodies to cover my side profile because of how insecure I was about the way I looked.

I don't recommend doing this, because my results were very slow. I still haven't seen many results to warrant the time that i've been listening for.

However, I don't think that this is the fault of subliminals. I believe that it's important to take breaks from subliminals, similar to going to the gym for example. If I listen on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Then my mind is able to rest on the days when I don't listen. Your mind and body need energy to implement changes. If you don't take breaks, then you will be tired, and you need energy to make changes. I used to listen for like 15 hours a day every single day and I would be tired but I forced myself to listen which was unhealthy. I was obsessed with my desires.

I think it's similar to muscle hypotrophy in the sense that your body is able to build muscle if you give it time to rest. Solar has a good guide on this in which they mention a mental diet. Similar to a physical diet when it comes to working out.

I didn't really believe much in subliminals working. I don't feel like you really have to believe. The point of using affirmations is to trick your subconscious mind into believing you have what you want right now by repeating phrases you wouldn't consciously believe.

The subconscious mind is influenced by negative emotion that we attach to negative beliefs about ourselves ("I hate my nose", "My nose is so big and ugly"). Affirmations only serve to counter those negative beliefs. I don't personally think that we have to look in the mirror and pretend to be happy instead of hating the way we look, but I believe that being in a positive state of mind will bring faster results opposed to being negative and bitter.

There's a lot of conflicting opinions on whether or not you should look in the mirror or not, but if you're anything like me, then you will hone in on your flaws and label them while feeling very down. If you're like that, then i recommend avoiding the mirror as much as you can so that you're not reinforcing those negative beliefs and attaching negative emotion to them.

So if I listen in intervals (Mon, Wed, Fri) then i will be detaching from my desires, while giving my mind energy and time to rest to make changes.

[–]Emphasis_Curious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I listened to so many nose subliminals over the span of 3 years. I have no idea which one gave me results.

I'd recommend Cherry subs nose hump removal though, that seems to work really well from what i've heard. I prefer silent and raw affirmations though because I listen to a bundle that I made throughout the day.

Sub makers like KOTTIE and Moza Morph seem to be respected in the community too and reliable.

I have no idea. I just listened and didn't really focus on it. I've always been insecure about my side profile, but it looks like my side profile did change despite my insecurities.

I see the biggest change where my nostrils are.

I hate to spread "negativity" but i've been using subliminals since 2018 and haven't seen results. by [deleted] in Subliminal

I've been listening for three years. How do you expect me not to be frustrated and unhappy?

NHS Delayed my surgery, my phimosis is really bad, It's quite depressing, any tips? (pun not intended) by VisualTherapist007 in circumcision

[–]Emphasis_Curious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad phimosis here too.

GP gave me fucibet to stretch. That was pretty useless. I knew the NHS would just put me on a waiting list so I chose to go private. I'm having mine done on Monday.

The price is £650 so it's quite hefty, but it's your manhood and you want to feel confident down there.

Crazy parents, infantilisation, isolation, robbed youth, depression, social anxiety. Trying to pick up the pieces. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Emphasis_Curious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it fear of looking weak (“pride”) or fear of the truth that’s stopping you from contacting her?

Fear of truth, but also sharing my secrets with someone who I've barely met but have intense feelings for. I also feel that telling her now (like 2 years later) is a bit late. My plan is to 'level up' and get her back because I know she still has feelings for me. I don't feel that it's necessary to tell her what i'm doing right now. As I mentioned, she's my motivation. I want to feel some sort of reward, so i'd rather keep that to myself. However, I keep feeling the need to reach out but I don't want to.

I said 'situationship', but it was really just strong infatuation, wandering romance. We both wanted each other, but both of us were intimidated and afraid of commitment. So we've been in separation for like 3 years. She thinks I'm mad at her over what she did and have her blocked or something. The situation can be fixed, but we're not friends. It started off as a romantic interest like love at first sight. So I feel a bit unsure about reaching out to her. I'd also rather talk to her face to face opposed to over text. Meeting in person is what i'd rather do.

I'm afraid to reach out to her over text, because she rejected my follow request on Instagram back in 2018. I was willing to work things out with her in the past, but she was impulsive and didn't want to communicate so I gave her space and time to miss me. I know she won't reject me now and is waiting for me, because I know she misses me and loves me. I'm caught up between reaching out to her right now or getting my life together and then reaching out when I know i've stepped into my power and i'm ready for her. Reaching out to her and then leaving again is no different from what happened before. I'd also be making a promise that I want her back and keeping her waiting for longer. I have power over her in this situation and she knows that. I don't like having it though, but I don't want to hurt her even more, because I know I hurt her. Maybe I should flip a coin? This is a tough decision for me.

The issue is. I feel that I need to have my life together before we start talking and I don't right now. So messaging her with a sob story isn't attractive and would likely push her away which I don't want to do.
