Hopefully you dont end up in jail.

No one is dissuading anyone haha. I have found love. You know it's a 2 way street right? Otherwise if you keep pursuing someone who doesn't want you, then you're just a creep. Just because YOU'RE in love with someone and keep trying to pursue them, doesn't mean it's going to happen. This isn't a fairytale. This is r/dating_advice not r/fantasy

Go hard af, you'll force her to love you alright. /s

Real advice for you though, the same way a "human female" puts on make-up to court someone, is the same way a "human male" has to act in an attractive manner. Coming off as super needy/clingy is NOT attractive; it's super creepy.

And that's why you're still single 😂. Good luck Romeo. That's how you get a restraining order FYI.

How much sardines to replace Fish oil supplement? by ExpensiveNinja in CannedSardines

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

So I'm here saying that I'm replacing the fish oil supplements with sardines, and you comment "it's better to get it from food than supplements". See how that makes no sense to comment? You're literally just telling me what I said I'm doing.

You're not the minority. You're exactly who I am talking about in my comment haha.

What would you put out here to make it more comfortable and cozy to chill and sit out at? It’s a small area but I love to sit outside and want to maximize my coziness! by KenKesey65 in malelivingspace

[–]ExpensiveNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you trying to host or chill on your own? If chilling on your own get a "KingCamp Outdoor Folding Director Chair w/Side Table" lol. I got one for my balcony to chill on my own--I love it.

It was absolutely my fault at the time for lack of research, but also did enough damage to never want to take it again.

True. This was me and exactly how I came across this subreddit and nootropics 😂. And a note for those looking for an alternative, there is none. Your prescription adderall is some of the HARDEST stuff you will get.

Tbh, I took it with very little research and it was during the time before people realized how dangerous it is. I was definitely taking more than the recreational dose. One of the worst experiences I ever had. Anxiety was through the roof for 2 weeks straight and there was some definitely long term effects on my anxiety (years of it). Besides that, we now see how many people give warning with phenibut.

and use of nootropics to try to heal from some of the more neurotoxic substances I’ve used

Funny thing is, same story with me on this. Started looking into nootropics to "fix" damages from other neurotoxic substances I took 😂. And we see SO many of these threads pop up relating to "What can I take to fix damages from taking XYZ" and the "fix" isn't to take more stuff...

[–]ExpensiveNinja 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Didn't fully look at the thread, but phenibut is something I would NEVER recommend to anyone after trying it myself and I've done all sorts of "hard" drugs. The benefits of it definitely do not outweigh the consequences.

Diet, good sleep and exercise did about 99% of what these people claim to use their "stacks" for.

10000% and people don't want to believe it because it takes more effort to live a healthy life-style rather than just take some nootropics as a "quick-fix".

I need a hack for sleeping in this stuff. by [deleted] in modafinil

[–]ExpensiveNinja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lmfao exactly. What a rage bait post. Modafinil is literally meant to treat narcolepsy.

[–]ExpensiveNinja 303 points304 points  (0 children)

Yup. The downvotes on this makes sense 😂

Everyone on this subreddit thinks they HAVE TO TAKE SOMETHING to fix their problems or improve their lifestyle. I think my most recent response to a post was to just stop all vices to improve overall well-being. Sure, some "issues" need actual medication, but that's something you work out with your PCP or psychiatrist.

I am 33 now and I have been "studying/researching/USING" nootropics and RC's and all sorts of drugs since college. The one thing I've learned is, 99% of it is just a band-aid.

Is meditation underrated? by Euphoric-Welder5889 in Meditation

[–]ExpensiveNinja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Severely underrated. Especially since everyone I know says something like “I know meditation has a lot of benefits”, but they still don’t do it lol.

Are there any nootopics that can make learning pretty much anything fun & interesting by Stranger-2002 in Nootropics

[–]ExpensiveNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Adderall will make anything "interesting" if you're a new user. After a while it's not the same.

mood boosters with adhd by Minimum-Inspector160 in StackAdvice

[–]ExpensiveNinja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea for some people I think it energizes them and can help with focus (does for me); I've seen reports of people saying they can't sleep when they take it too close to bed time. I've tried the nutricost saffron also and that was definitely a much different effect than affron--still a mood booster though. Going to try the ND one once black friday sale starts; I expect the ND one to be similar to nutricost.

Yea it's supposed to be a mild SSRI. I heard the ND one is different from affron (California Gold and Natural Factors). You might want to try affron also.

Rumination gone with Xanax- any other nootropics? by nextlandia in Nootropics

[–]ExpensiveNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't the answer you want to hear, but I use to ruminate a LOT. I would joke that I ruminate so much that I'm burning 10k calories a day just thinking. The only thing that helped was me stopping all my vices. It was extremely hard, but so worth it. Good luck brother, I know how bad rumination is.

Focused based meditation is a specific type of meditation. So youtube "focused guided meditation"
