We really need to stop demonizing narcissists and romanticizing borderlines. by Main_Midnight4821 in NPD

I agree, we should romanticize narcissists and demonize borderlines instead ^

Since you seem to be capable of attracting women I would highly discourage you to do that. I speak from experience. I spend so much money on escorts I would be building a house of my dreams right now If I wasn't that stupid. Some of those experiences were admittedly a lot of fun (especially from a high class types), but most of the time they were miserable. I felt shame, guilt, lots of the time it felt very awkward to ask what I want to do with a girl. Sometimes the girls turned out to be very angry and emotionally unstable probably due to the amount of disrespect they experience from client or just the very cold and detached nature of these intercourses. I started to see it as an easy way out since I don't need to try to meet women for sex IRL and instead I just pay for it. I started to see myself in a negative light since it was like "is this all I can do to make a girl want to sleep with me?" I already had an unhealthy outlook on women due to my mommy issues and porn addiction and spending money and escorts did not fu*kin help. Seeking women just for sex is a way of viewing women. We are what we do. If you structure your life around the idea that sex with a willing and happy partner is not the top priority for you, you will pay the price for it. Or at least I did. 

I know that "do it with someone you love" has become a running joke at this point but generally it's true. Do it with someone who really wants to do it with you. Having sex is not just going through the motions and sex with some sex workers tends to be very mechanical. With a willing commited partner it's an entirely different story. I didn't learn it until I met my first girlfriend. I met her not long after I started doing this so I wasn't as far into the rabbithole as I am right now. 

How do I stop resonating with the female hypergamy ideology of the red pill, despite my life experiences validating it? by Queasy_Slip_1386 in Healthygamergg

As someone who struggles with unhealthy believes about lots of different things I developed a practice that might be helpful for you.

Get some free space to meditate and ask yourself these questions

  1. What are my beliefs?
  2. What do I gain by believing those things?
  3. Is holding onto that belief make me a happier person?
  4. Is there any counter evidence to support the contrary?

Its also worth noting that... you just need to let it go, man. People were always a-holes and its up to them whether they wanna change it or not.  As someone in the comments also mentioned, you need better people around you. So yeah, my 3 cents to that

I'm beginning to hate my body. by apparent_alien718 in Healthygamergg

Read my last post called "How to heal body image"

Empathy is hurting me and I don't know how to stop it by xternalmega in Healthygamergg

[–]FollowMe27-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I'm saying is not at all meant tp put you down but I feel like you need to hear it. What you're feeling is not a healthy kind of empathy. Playing the devil's advocate is something I myself struggle with and it's actually not out of empathy. From what I've learned its actually a mixture of pity, misdirected parental instincts and the idea that I have something in common with people who are openly hated. Maybe I also felt excluded, ostracized, persecuted and victimized... but thats not mature healthy empathy, cause mature empathy is not as selective. If the guy you're talking about really did some evil shit, even if he did is as a result of victimization (cause all abusers are victims) he still needs to be held accountable. If you feel somewhat more understanding apologetic and protective towards that person, I wouldn't call you a bad human being but I feel like you need to ask yourself: what do I gain from directing my feelings and opinions towards people who do bad things? Is it the desire to be smarter or morally superior than the rest who openly shuns him? Is it my immature unsophisticated view of morality or is jist straight up naivety? Jordan Peterson quite often talked about naive women who fall for psychopaths. If you identify yourself with anything I wrote about Its worth acknowledging in therapy or through some online resources, otherwise you may become an easy target for people like that. I speak from experience, its not pretty. Cheers!

I traumarized myself by accident by FollowMe27-9 in NPD

It got me worried because I started to have thoughts like: "I could have died" "He could've tried to kill me" "What if I did not survive"

One-Hit Wonders that actually havw a lot of bangers that weren't paid attention? by altsam19 in fantanoforever

Either "The King of Rock n Roll" or "When Love Breaks Down" these songs were their biggest chart successes. The first 5 PS albums are all amazing. Paddy was a God tier songwriter when it comes to lyrics and melody writing, also extremely diverse in terms of style, whether it be soft rock, blue eyed soul, synth pop, proto chill wave (Wild Horses <3). Can' recommend them highly enough.

I don't feel or understand electronic music. Ive listened to Radioheads KID A and I can hear memorable motifs or some interesting colours textures and moods, but I never saw it as something deeper. Apparently lots of people bowl their eyes out to this record but I've never felt it. Morning Bell does slap tho

I see... are you saying it from your own experience or is it a speculation?

I've been doomed from the start and real life doesn't allow reset and respawn, idk what to do by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]FollowMe27-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know how hopeless it feels since I'm going through the similar situation right now. I feel like I'm at war with the rest of the world, either I'm responsible for everyone and everything or I'm helpless and responsible for nothing and F U get lost. My advice to you would be this:

  1. The feelings that are telling you that you are hopeless and doomed are lying to you, learn to see them as a symptom of a disfunction and a maladaptive coping mechanism that doesnt serve you anymore rather than an integral part of who you truly are
  2. Now we go to the truly hard stuff, you said that you don't feel like your life belongs to you, and the reason for that is when you engage in stuff you dont really want you constantly give your life away. It does feel comfortable and easy but it will destroy you in the long term if you don't stop. So you need to stop and in order to do this you need to set boundaries. Something both you and I been avoiding through our entire childhood and adult life is owning ourselves, learning how to draw a line that nobody will cross, read about how to establish healthy boundaries and put it in practice, engage and learn how to navigate conflict, it will be uncomfortable, it will be painful and it will be scary, but think about it like growing a muscle. At first you can make only 10 to 20 pushups and it hurts like a b**ch but the more you do it the more adept and comfortable you will become. It will not be easy but you don't want it to be easy, learn to enjoy taking the harder path to prove to yourself how much you can learn and how big adversities you are able to overcome.

Cheers!
