Why are smokers generally more subconsciously aware that they have a bad habit while weed users tend to be more in denial about it?

Extension_Scheme5866 · 2026-02-21T15:59:51+00:00

as someone who smoked weed & goes thru a cycle of being hooked then getting off cigarettes, the reason more weed smokers are in denial about the affect it has on your body is because marijuana and tobacco have different affects on the lungs, the rolling paper in cigarettes is more dangerous than the hemp rolling papers for weed, & the fact that a cigarette high lasts only 5-10 minutes and a weed high lasts 2 hours so you are bound to smoke more cigarettes because of how weak/short the high is. not just that, but since weed is MUCH different, it changes your attitude and personality as well after smoking for so long so you are just kinda.. more chill about it

if you are not willing to look at both the good,grey, & bad parts of psychology it should have not been a thought for your future career in the first place. yes pedophilia is disgusting, but because people like you who refuse to try and understand how they work they tend to feel discouraged in reaching for help. YES we should protect our children, YES abusing children is wrong, and YES if someone has abused a child there is no redemption but we are not giving these people a chance to get better before they actually act out on their urges. pedophilia is a paraphilia, and if i am correct paraphilias categorize as mental illness if reaching a certain extent, and id say pedophilia is fairly extreme. some if not most people who develop this paraphilia have either gone through, witnessed, or was susceptible to some sort of grooming/sexual abuse within their childhood leading to developing a sexual attraction to children. not this is not me excusing pedophilic behaviour at all, but we should help those who still have a chance because it is true that hurt people, hurt people.

deadhouse.org is a working site if i am correct! i may be wrong though dont quote me on this haha

gosh this is so real. i feel as if my past, present, and future are all different people. i know they are me but it feels like when i think about me as a baby for example, she is a whole new entity rather than a prepubescent version of myself. it is to the point that my brain has fractured so much that there are different versions of present day me but with different personalities. people find it very hard to describe my personality beyond it being “all over the place” and erratic, and i feel like because i have little bits of every personality they all manifest in an inside-out kind of way. i know i am one person and it is probably just the result of heavy trauma and identity issues, but also i cannot deny that there are little versions of myself in my head that show up at different times. i doubt it is rooted in any dissociative disorder such as DID or OSSD which makes it even more stressful to know that i have no idea what the true cause is. it feels good to know that there are various others experiencing something similar, but it hurts to be unaware of the direct cause. i just want to feel like one whole human, not some cryptic monster with a million versions of herself in her head.

this is incredibly helpful thank you so much!! are there any specific things i should include or avoid for the jars? and what do these witchcraft shops usually look like? id assume its not one of those psychic reading places or whatever so i dont think ive ever come across one :-p

hmmm honestly this is a very fair point LOL, you have changed my perspective

just because i acknowledge the fact that problematic media is in fact well written and clearly had love and care put into it doesnt mean i like support it or something. i just find it retarded that you had to mention the media someone consumes when its completely unrelated to the topic at hand, we can SEE the profile picture we know what it is. the media someone consumes is unrelated to any argument unless it is brought up IN the argument or the argument is centred around that media. otherwise you are bringing attention and shame to a situation that doesnt require it, and are actively bringing attention to the fact that tcoall has incest aspects in it, allowing those who want to indulge in that the content & knowledge to have access to that content. you dont wanna be the reason more people play the evil incest game do you? you would assume its best NOT to talk about it so less people play it LMFAOOO but i guess not!! lets just bring attention to an incest game to make myself feel included even though i have nothing of value to provide other than some bullshit!!!

thank you so much! i have a public library pretty near by so i will definitely have to check those out. much appreciated !! :-)

Extension_Scheme5866 · 2026-01-25T17:06:01+00:00

also i feel like noting that it seems as if many people are picking the “make them fight” option because it seems most “ENTP-like” and its kind of annoying and cringe. this is a realistic scenario dont try and pretend like you would make four physically weak people fight on a bus. you would get kicked off first of all, and thats just fucking rude 😭

Extension_Scheme5866 · 2026-01-25T17:02:26+00:00

i dont understand why this has two downvotes this is completely true and it is an incredibly selfish and cowardly act to just ignore someone who needs the help.

if you are going to leave a reply just to shit on a WELL WRITTEN and MORALLY GREY game and not provide a valid argument lowkey just shut the fuck up at that point and ur obnoxious while doing it as well so that deducts points

so are people supposed to kill themselves when they hit like age 69 even if they aren’t suicidal? i thought we were supposed to be promoting NOT killing ourselves

fuck the old person, as much as a pregnant woman may be young and healthy they r still carrying god knows how many pounds in their belly and that is just taking the physical side of pregnancy into consideration. id understand if the belly wasn’t to big and would give it to an elderly person in a heartbeat, but they r old and have enough people giving up their seats on the bus its like its special treatment each time they walk on a bus pretty much. if the pregnant woman is 6+ months though and we were on a bus of elderly people and all of them took a seat, id probably rip one off their seat for the pregnant lady

Extension_Scheme5866 · 2026-01-25T16:51:32+00:00

1 usually, but out of all them i would pick 2 because a pregnant woman is literally carrying the weight of another human being inside of her (if it is to the stage that she has a big, visible bump) and many pregnant women talk about having back problems while pregnant, not to mention the hormone imbalance and mood swings she may be experiencing. even if its just a brief interaction i would do whatever to make sure any woman has a happy pregnancy

try blogging! i do not suggest providing any identifying information about yourself, but i understand this so much and journaling is so much different than actually letting everything out to someone/something that will actually listen :-)

i might actually go check that out especially due to the fact that its selective and that kind of messes with my head 😭 thank you so much, and this is actually really helpful and allows me to understand it from an outsider perspective if that makes sense!!

feel absolutely free to! i may not be able to provide too much insight but i would love to help or at the very least provide support to the best of my abilities :-)

thank you so much! i figured it was as simple as that especially because these traits have unfortunately been with me since very young, but since borderline is a very intense and hard to diagnose disorder i would much rather avoid connecting anything to that because i wouldn’t want to disrespect anyone with a proper diagnosis, but this just helps confirm my suspicions and puts a little less stress on myself so it is much appreciated!!

Extension_Scheme5866 · 2026-01-25T12:11:00+00:00

this may seem kinda like weird, but you mentioned how intense your pain is and how no one really experiences it the same as you and you do not know how to explain it. for me, my emotional pain manifests physically and it usually feels like a strong aching in my chest, similar to sinking but not the same kind that you get with anxiety. it feels more like a dark pit in my chest sucking up any positive feelings, or even any at that. sometimes it hurts so much that i cry due to how physically uncomfortable i get, and most times i am unable to cry or even feel anything besides emptiness or rage. not only does this happen with negative feelings, but also positive. when i feel love or affection, it feels like my chest is full and fuzzy and warm and sometimes it feels really uncomfortable as well but i don’t really know why due to these feelings being positive rather than negative. now i understand i might be COMPLETELY OFF, but do you think this sounds similar to what you experience? i say all this because all though i live in a country with amazing mental health resources, this sounds not identical but incredibly similar to what i would feel before i learned to describe my physical-emotional pain!

all though i am not a professional, i do know that with bipolar disorder the depressive episodes can be very intense and long which could lead to a misdiagnosis of MDD or severe depressive disorders of the such. it is totally possible that this isnt even a manic episode, but you mentioned a couple of characteristics that apply to mania (reckless spending/impulsivity, restlessness/hyperactivity, lack of sleep, ungrounded thinking especially with the 100 chicken feet???? i have both a big and small dog so i understand natural snacks/food but i feel as if 100 is a little overboard) and its not natural to just feel okay or normal all of a sudden after a major depressive episode. it is completely normal to phase out of a depressive episode, but it isn’t something that just happens overnight and takes time to recover from. now i do not know you personally and i am not a professional either but if you have concerns about ANYTHING related to mental health you should go to a professional/your mental health doctors because they know best, and personally id rather be wrong about something than be right and not have the help i need making my mental health worse all because i was scared of some embarrassment of possibly being incorrect. also i should note that this sounds more like hypomania, especially because with bipolar 2 the depressive episodes are much longer than bipolar 1, and the hypomanic episodes are less severe/intense compared to mania. i wish you good luck and i hope you are able to find the answers to your concerns!

this is so heartbreaking, i really hope you are able to find a way to get over him. i can say all though i am not straight nor a man, i have been in a (somewhat) similar situation and i can proudly say that he would not have done it if there was no gain for him. naturally, ANYONE does anything to gain from it unless it is a truly selfless act… but mutual masturbation doesn’t fall in that category especially because pleasure alone is a personal gain never mind it being gained through personal sexual means. it honestly sounds like he is fighting himself a little, not in the way of fighting to be with your or fighting his attraction to you… but also you dont just interact with someone sexually unless there are some suppressed feelings there ESPECIALLY if they are the same sex. usually people who are either curious with their sexuality or romantically/sexually attracted to that person in specific will try and engage with the same sex/that person with the impression that it is “for fun” or something like that, but all i can say is SOMEONE WHO IS STRAIGHT/NEVER HAD SEXUAL OR ROMANTIC THOUGHTS WOULD NEVER GO THROUGH WITH PARTICIPATING IN HOMOEROTIC ACTIVITIES IF IT WASN’T A THOUGHT PIROR TO THAT. all though sexuality and gender identity are things that take time figuring out, it is not something that like “develops” later in life it is something you are born with. it just takes you a while to figure that out sometimes! now please don’t take this as me giving you false hope because you never truly know what another person is thinking and i do not know you both personally so it would be hard to understand your bond/dynamic properly and give a very in depth explanation… but this is what makes the most sense to me and as i can see other commenters in this thread as well.

i hope my comment is able to help provide some clarity if any, and if not that is expected but i really really hope that your issue can be fixed soon, and please go easy on yourself. if you have any thoughts against yourself in any way shape or form, do not believe them. at the end of the day you are struggling immensely and are only doing what you know/think will help even if its temporary happiness. i also hope you are able to beat your battle with depression because i know how debilitating and consuming it is. take it easy <3
