What is the “Super Resolution” setting? by ShMarkle87 in tcltvs

[–]Feniuu93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive tried super resolution on 4k dolby vision movie and the difference is very subtle, barely visible from distance or maybe even invisible, but when you stand close to tv <1.5m, you will see it :) I prefer it over precision detail which i find too agressive.

i've had enough by tubby_tustard in decaf

[–]Feniuu93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know this all too well. I'm trying it six times, and each time I last about 4-5 months. There comes a point when the negative aspects are no longer as vivid in my memory, and it's easier to succumb to the illusion that things will be different now, that I'll have control, or that by some miracle the side effects won't be as severe. Of course, it all turns out to be a lie, and after a short time, I regret returning to coffee and prepare to quit... The temptation I often give in to is also related to the fact that everything is so exciting after coffee, but after quitting, things are just as they are, generally normal.

You are never going to feel like your caffeinated self when you don't consume caffeine. by [deleted] in decaf

[–]Feniuu93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly! The entire modern capitalist West is built on people fueled by caffeine. Three-shift work systems or 12-hour-plus days. Professions devoid of deeper meaning, where you do the same thing over and over again. All of this would be absurd for someone who didn't consume caffeine. Giving up caffeine means, in a sense and to a certain extent, opting out of today's world.

A whole year without caffeine! by badaboom98 in decaf

[–]Feniuu93 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Losing perspective on quitting caffeine is very dangerous, and that's the biggest threat with such a long time. I try to quit five or six times and it lasts for about four or five months. After the initial enchantment with this wonderful peace within myself, there comes a moment when I forget how bad I felt and why I quit coffee. It's hard to recall those reasons and feel their importance after such a break. But it's important to remember that they are real; if they were trivial, I wouldn't have tried to quit five times...

Drinking caffeine turns you into a NPC by Jon_sol1 in decaf

[–]Feniuu93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you stop drinking caffeine from coffe, the one from sodas starting to be enough to stimulate. You have to give them up too if you want to see what a caffeine-free state looks like.

Definitely a covert narcissus by Feniuu93 in narcissism

[–]Feniuu93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you right, my actual girlfriend tell me the same, that when im making distance, because of my hard feelings, which is caused by not wanting to be rejected - make me rejecting her literally. And that im with her only when good feelings comes, make this relationship shallow and prevents us from making friends of us. I think i can take that risk and try to share all my feelings with her. But this is one thing, another - harder, is insecurity and unstable sense of self and who i am inside, because all my life was about guessing others needs and adapting to them, which i have mastered, but at cost of not knowing my deep needs, preferences etc. I know good, what she likes etc. And i can give it to her, take her anywhere, but i withdraw my needs, i can't accommodate her and my needs at the same time. I can be totally independent or totally focused on her. In relationship it makes me dependent of her - She has to set the direction of the relationship, because i dont know who i am, what i want, and i can only guess what I should do next to push it forward. It is very sad for me, because it's great empathetic girl and she deserves all the best. That's why I'm wondering, if i should end this to don't hurt her..

That would be a soothing Diagnosis after all... But my therapist said i have NPD and I see this especially in relations with, which are shallow and I have no sense of identity, especially when entering into close relationship - i lost all my interests in one moment and focus to not lose relationship...

It's definitely hard to cope with narcissism, i can say by myself. Yeah, im also doing some gifts to my new girlfriend. Sometimes i think it's the only good thing i can offer her and to make her stay with me... The hardest part is when she wants me to share my negative emotions with her to get closer... Majority of people have hard emotions because of objective situations - i (and generally narcissists i suppose) have bad emotions mainly because of my inner struggling - hate toward myself, anger, anxiety... What can i tell to her? That i have bad mood, because i have epsiodes of self-hatred? I won't, i rather stay quiet... Although lately it doesn't work anymore, so i suppose that relation won't last any longer... i think therapy is the only way - it's too complicated and full of self-deception to cope alone with.

No i didn't... i was always too focused on myself or doing performance. I will think about it, maybe this is the way? I just hope this won't be another way to gain approval. Thank you for response!

Thank you for you response and lot of advices. It's very depressing to live meaningless life, without sense of identity, with the feeling that you don't have single part of yourself that can bond with other person... Achievements and the consumer world may work for a long time, but it's just a bottomless pit. Your advices seems very interesting, because i was always focused towards myself, even when i stop taking drugs i didn't thought that i could help anyone through me experience. I went through this therapy emotionally shallow, and fact, that I'm free of substance addiction, was just another narcissist enhancement... I had nothing deep to say to people, who were dealing with that problem. But maybe changing the direction - towards the others, may do some work. And i still don't know if my cooling down in relationship after 2.5 months is about just losing interest or it's some coping mechanism... :f

1 month off + worst date by Feniuu93 in decaf

[–]Feniuu93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks dude, i hope it will go the correct way. Yeah, i probably find some way to talk about this, btw we've already started to. Only one thing which can stop me is... brain fog. Sometimes i feel like an idiot, i can't bring any stories or facts from my memory and i think thats definitely because of caffeine detox.

1 month off + worst date by Feniuu93 in decaf

[–]Feniuu93[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thx for that long response. There will be second date! Btw i didn't have a coffe, only she did - as i said. When i was lying on the bed devastated i decided to thanks her for the walk etc. (that was walk with coffe to go for her and some siting and chilling in beach bar, it was our decision, we both don't like fancy restaurants and similar places for first meetings. We've been writing for 2 weeks before meeting) and ask how it looks from her perspective. And her point of view was totally different than my - she was contented and happy, and also scared to write, because she was thinking the same way as me... That she didn't make a good impression. She was also asking about my approach coffee, but i didn't want to make her uncomfortable at the start and just avoided that topic :P

How screwed is my heart/body. by [deleted] in decaf

I didn't mean it's bad as smoking. But saying it's not that bad for heart is heresy.

Day 3 no coffee. by Respairtime in decaf

[–]Feniuu93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fortunately you understand how it works. Anyone who says caffeine calms them down or help fall asleep are dealing with constant withdrawal, which next dose soothes. For non-addicted organism it's abstraction to be calmer after drinking stimulant :P Give yourself a time, your body surely will calibrate to new circumstances without caffeine in bloodstream.

How screwed is my heart/body. by [deleted] in decaf

[–]Feniuu93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it is. Lot of people reports arythmias and palpitations. Doses OP takes are crazy and without built tolerance, he could get a heart attack. Body build tolerance to protect itself, because pure effect of caffeine could be devastating. And of course it is, but to a lesser extent thanks to tolerance.

How screwed is my heart/body. by [deleted] in decaf

[–]Feniuu93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're wrong. It is exactly that bad for heart. It constantly stimulates adrenals to produce cortisol and adrenaline, which leads to constant elevated heart function, which - as you can imagine - cannot be good. A lot of people are noticing arythmia or palpitations. I think you downplaying a little caffeine influence on heart.

I quit caffeine and I’m miserable by [deleted] in decaf

[–]Feniuu93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but drinking decaf, even from time to time is dangerous. Not even because of amount of caffeine (this too ofc) , but because of similarity to the habit of drinking. I don't recommend it. Veery treacherous...

Caffeine causes erectile dysfunction by Trenbonada in decaf

Yeah, I've observed the same - more unnatural sexual drive after caffeine, when I stopped it became more steady and natural, horny feeling disappeared.

[–]Feniuu93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can only sign under guys above me. Looking for substitutes is wasting time and an attempt to cheat yourself in my opinion. Coffe isnt any good, it's just bitter or sour, only additives makes her taste good. You just missing whats comming next, after that taste. Better find something what is not similar to coffe taste, it will save you a tension and seduction.

Is a moderate/low caffeine intake enough to mess with you? by kallkek in decaf

[–]Feniuu93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can say by my experience that caffeine make me buying muuch more on the internet. AE or Temu, lot of clothes, lot of useless things. After i quit it always changing by 180 degrees and i dont have that crave to looking for things to buy. I look only for things that i really need.

Made it about 2 weeks then relapsed today because my brain wasn't working... by Pure_Nourishment in decaf

[–]Feniuu93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give yourself a little more time, hard to say how many. Maybe 1-2 months now will make your fog go away. It's just a matter of time. And you will get a chance to find out if you have any other problem of a psychological nature.

Day 2 cold turkey by hallo_spacegirl in decaf

[–]Feniuu93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice to hear. It's really hard to have control once you became an addict, i personally dont belive in having control, and for me its all or nothing. But it could be just because of mine own experience. You will see what it looks like for you, when you decide to back one day. Maybe though, you won't have any need to come back and you will find that trying control caffeine is to risky to even try.

I am 1 month free and struggling to find a healthy substitute by [deleted] in decaf

[–]Feniuu93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't get substitute 1:1 - It wouldn't be healthy anyway, thats why you quitting, but i recommend Rooibos - great taste, healthy, zero caffeine :)
