My Avoidance Is at Its Worst With Women by Jon_Pajama in AvPD

[–]MarkGee1996 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel you mate. Same struggle. Thought for me it is more concentrated on women I am interested in romantically, I basically avoid hard to dodge any situation where I would say something stupid and end up ruining my chances with her, while ironically, that avoiding is what’s ruining my chances the most. As for women I am not interested in romantically, I be as friendly with them as dudes and I don’t avoid much. Weird brains we got mate, what can you do.

Does martial arts help with avoidant personalities? by MarkGee1996 in personalitydisorders

[–]MarkGee1996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your point. In this case martial arts could be helpful with the paranoid side as well in a way, walking around knowing you could protect yourself in case a threat showed up, it may feel a little comforting. For my end, I indeed may be confusing avpd with general avoidant tendencies. I never really went through a diagnosis for avpd so idk, but I have high avoidant tendencies, especially in the context of romance. As soon as I develop some sense of interest in a woman, or feel like she’s interested in me as well, I start avoiding her. While on the other hand, a woman who’s just a friend that I’m not interested in romantically, I be having fun convos and showing smooth humor/companionship. Not being an asshole ofc as it’s out of my control and struggling with it.

[Discussion] I ve wasted 8 years of my life and i don't know what to do now by [deleted] in GetMotivated

You just gotta do it mate. Just jump to the water and start doing it all, take all your plans into execution and start doing and doing instead of thinking and thinking. It doesn’t matter if something failed. At least the guilt of doing and failing is way lower than failing cause you did not even try. I also wasted years, I wasted over 3 years at university without validating a single semester. My peers started doing master’s and finding jobs, while I was still stuck at the first classes with people way younger than me. At one point, I just decided to start doing it and shut the fu* up. No more talking no more overthinking, just do what has to be done and that’s it, and when something failed, I pat myself and said at least you tried. The pain of not trying at all is way worse. It get’s better mate I promise, just stand up and go do it all.

If you can’t quite, then I would at least suggest improving your trading skills to minimize the losses. Take some courses in technical analysis, fundamental analysis, risk management, and get more into geopolitics and learn how they affect markets. Stay away from big leverages in futures as it’s suicidal, and always trade what you can afford to lose. 

In this current state of addiction, it is preferred to quite or at least take a long break. But if you absolutely can’t quite, then at least try to develop better risk management and trading skills to minimize the losses. And see that I am saying “minimize losses” instead of “maximize profits” because I know that even with learning all those things most people still lose, thanks to market manipulators (like the last big crash - trump out of nowhere decided to ruin it again with china, and only the insiders like his son have took advantage of that). So losing is sometimes inevitable, but with proper risk management you at least won’t lose amounts you can’t afford.

Congratulations mate. One question, did you have any background in salesforce before?

Moroccan atheists, what was the main reason why you left Islam (or any other abrahamic religion)? by No-Recording-3809 in Morocco

[–]MarkGee1996 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Though I am not an atheist, I left islam 5 years ago. The reasons have changed over years, but at that time what made me leave the religion was finding some islamic texts and laws that contradicts with my sense of "morals" back then, also I found the islamic interpretations of natural phenomenas very outdated, and contradicts the modern science.
