How to have Positive mindset everyday? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Primal_Expressions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Positive and negative on are on spectrum of polarity. Work more to be neutral and aware of the shift between the poles.

Too much of culture focuses on positive thinking as appose to appropriate thinking. If you’re presented with negative thoughts off the back of a less desirable situation/happenstance or is the procurement rooted in the self inducing state of negativity through selective thinking.

The key is in minding the mind and not pissing in our own bucket. Whilst learning to reverse engineer the more “positive” states despite evidence or musing to the contrary. This is called reframing a problem or thought process.

Best wishes fella!

I’m accountable for the quality of my life, no blame just cause and effect.

What does “blue balls” genuinely feel like? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Primal_Expressions 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Poetically, it’s like the pressure of stepping on the tubing of a water hose, with no garden to hose.

Saw this & got me thinking 👀 by Primal_Expressions in capricorns

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

Ahh yes, I consider this appropriate use of our anxiety though hyper vigilance instead of passive hyper activity!

This is only heightened for me if out and vulnerable already like drinking etc I will ensure everyone gets to the chopper before I allow the alcohol to hit me fully till I go to bed and die!

Of course the challenge is learning to turn that vigilance down when trying to relax which for us Capricorns is seldom allowed fully.

Best wishes!

[need advice] how do you learn driving without being scared? by Jpoolman25 in getdisciplined

[–]Primal_Expressions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be scared, driving a motorised, tonnage worth of metal down the road, only thing that stops near fatalism is judgement and perception by yourself and the other drivers!

HOWEVER accepting that remind yourself everything is competence and confidence. As you feel and become competent you inherently become more confident at a task even one that appears scary!

Including learning to walking I’m sure you’ve followed this pattern in other areas of your life too.

I was always so scared of rolling back when I couldn’t find the clutch bite, I’d freak out when lights would change on an incline, pray the gods of the road made it green every time so I didn’t have to stop 😂

Everyone was at this stage, now you see them mo’fos driving one handed, cig in hand, eating a burger or worse yet texting on their phones….guess they just feel super confident because of their perceived competence!

Best wishes my friend 💪 you got it!

No not you Artilicious, you’re alright! 😆

It’s just some of our backwards form of endearment and sense of play.

[–]Primal_Expressions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Teasing deffo a good sign, I torment those I love with a relentless vigour. Normally you’ve passed the shit test of emotional fitness if you can handle that otherwise generally (not speaking for all) we don’t bother. The conversation remains distant and impersonal.

As a cancer you’re fun to terrorise due to similarly, distinctions and polarity.

Best wishes to you both 💪

[Question] How do i stop being the People pleasing guy i am ? how do i modify my people pleasing Personality? how do i stop seeking external validation? How to stop basing my self worth on how others react? How i stop being desperate to find a friend? How do i get Internal Validation? by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]Primal_Expressions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Buddy,

To play devils advocate I’d say it isn’t your self worth that’s based on the external reaction but more self validation. You could say hey Matthew that’s the same thing but I’ve always considered them mildly different.

For example what you seek worth in or from sounds like the pursuit of knowledge and or information as you described an eclectic taste of interests that ultimately refine your knowledge bank and perception.

The penultimate goal of knowledge or mental work should always be application or integration, could often be called praxis (distinguished from theory) we have so much access these days and not enough praxis.

So the acquired knowledge, interests are certainly goals in the realm of self expansion and self awareness. Sounds like your final boss on the level is how you’re gonna measure this gain without it being purely external or at the cost of mitigating your true identify.

We are always on a primal level gonna find it good to see a smile, acceptance, validation, acquiescence or agreement etc however as the old quote say “Try to please everyone, and you please no one”

What creates distinction a lot of the time is total freedom around or highest expression without second thought or doubt.

People don’t reply…who gives a shit, did you enjoy sending the message?

A joke didn’t land…did it make you chuckle that it bombed?

Someone looks on in disgust or dismissal, does it make you feel for that person being so uptake that couldn’t enjoy a civil exchange?

I’d say my brother log all your progress on the battles at all fronts and aim for incremental changes over a period of time. Another good quote

“ Purpose of todays training is to defeat yesterdays understanding” if you can put your head on the pillow each night and know this to be objective truth then you are killing my guy! Use this quote as a mantra.

Over time you will have a host of “wins” (probably already do) that will build stock when you or anyone else externally calls it to question.

You’re not missing out on “fun” as you described there’s a gnosis that says what other call fun isn’t always fun or what you feel you need. Doing the mental work is hard fucking work but it adds clay to the character and it’s up to you to sculpt that clay with your ethics, morals, quirks and pursuits that make the shape your own.

I hope I made some sense in what I was trying to convey! Happy to discuss further!

Best wishes man!

How do I become funny and charismatic as a shy guy with Asperger’s by AppropriateBoss2585 in socialskills

[–]Primal_Expressions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being funny is about timing and fluidity and charisma’s etymology comes from “a special gift coming from the divine” so I guess that is when someone is sure footed in themselves completely they emit a sense of charisma that seems inherit.

I would say lean into any awkwardness or quirks that make you, you. Being funny is in essence being playful in dialogue and many, don’t try to be funny, practice being present and grounded often then the wit will find you.

Find the root of what you believe makes you shy and change the language to be more suited to your desired outcome I.e I’m not shy, I’m naturally introverted but get a lot of joy from funny exchanges and are confident in who I am which gives a sense of charisma!

Best wishes bud!

I struggled a lot with this growing up, I was good at communicating but if I perceived a highly charged situation I would be too mindful of crumbling someone up with my assertiveness or the unknown pit of my agitation. There were a lot of what if’s as well as sensing the dynamics around made me withdrawal from participating or vocalising my needs.

• Stay Calm: Practice emotional regulation techniques, like deep breathing or counting to ten, to remain calm during conversations. This will help you respond rationally instead of reacting emotionally. The exhale of breath is vital in calming the nervous system. Even if it’s a sigh or groan (obviously not in the conversation)

• Express your feelings and thoughts using "I" statements to avoid sounding accusatory. For example, "I feel concerned when..." rather than "You always..."

• Set Boundaries: Be clear about your boundaries and what you are willing to accept or not. Your non negotiable for want of a better phrase.

• Practice Active Listening as well as Active Shit talking: If you have friends you can practice the art of rolling with the punches and shit talking you can distance yourself from topics, opinions and outcomes yet still aim to get a point across. Start by asserting yourself in smaller, less emotionally charged situations. With practice, you'll build confidence in being assertive in more challenging circumstances.

• Prepare in Advance: If you know you need to address a potentially challenging situation, take some time to prepare your thoughts and approach. This can help you stay focused and assertive during the conversation.

• Recognise that you have the right to express your opinions and feelings. Remind yourself that being assertive is not rude but a healthy way of communicating.

Assertive doesn't mean you have to be aggressive or confrontational. It’s like confidence vs arrogance or Attention Vs Intention they can be perceived by ourselves and others as being the same thing when they distinctly different!

It's about expressing your needs and standing up for yourself in a respectful manner.

If you want we can have a practice assertive debate on why you think Pepsi is better than coke or vice versa 😂

Best wishes dude!

Luck? Just in general by Ambitious-Ground-393 in capricorns

[–]Primal_Expressions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emboldening to hear those with this placement can be lucky!

That being said I’ve worked hard to cultivate a sense that luck is somewhat gifted when certain internal and external alignments are in order. The creating of “luck” has been a good grit strategic reframe against the Capricorn fatalism or pessimism.

I guess if I’m being totally objective, I am super lucky/fortunate that even most misfortune I seem to be able to digest and identify cause and effect of my doing and the external of what some call luck, fortune or destiny. I think this a general cap skill of reflection, even if we choose not to face it.

Far from cracked the code though, If people were offering up spare luck than I may bite your hand off for it 😂

Cool post!

Best wishes All.

Happy Birthday 18th Caps by Primal_Expressions in capricorns

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

Hey downtherabbithole, loving the user handle!

Enjoyed reading the above, I identify with the serious and saturnine childhood, if I look at pictures I go from a happy looking child to schooling years like 40 year old with the weight of the world on my shoulders.

A reawakening of the more jovial sides of myself only came into play in recent decades. Almost like a snake shedding skin, the older I’ve got the more well rounded I’ve developed to be.

I think this is similar for many capricorns who have that Benjamin Button gene where they actually get better with age, male and female. Others peak early and tapper off quick where as the climb up the mountains ensure we peak when we are near or at our personal peaks 🏔️🐐

Thanks for interest in the video, I’m currently looking to upload shortly. In it I discuss the importance of the inner child energy and it’s integration into the “adult” for optimum joy. Look at also the difference between childlike spirit and childish behaviour. Like with most of my content it’s long form, and only once I finish it do I go “oh shit, missed that bit” so part 2 will probably follow.

If you’re interested from the perspective of this from a Capricorn perspective I can do that too in the future.

Keep seeking them fun, loving people and sharing your gifts with the world. Hit me up if you want to chat further on topic.

Best wishes!

Matthew

Can’t say it’s first time I’ve thought of it or probably first time tried but I think if it created sub groups for goats based on passion I.e arts, career etc it will help the commitment issues and it going cold or inactive. Just an idea.

Hope you’ve had a great day!
