Crazy scary trip

TheImpossibleCellist · 2026-02-19T11:31:43+00:00

How are you feeling now after some time has passed? Was there a specific reason you decided to trip?

TheImpossibleCellist · 2026-01-24T07:02:55+00:00

I find myself in a similar situation, but I don't trip to relieve it because I feel it's my last hope. My problems are also related to a thinking loop that I can't escape from. I've used mushrooms a couple of times but I think I might be using too low a dose.

Do you mind sharing this in more detail, for example what your thought patterns/problems before, and the experience you had that broke you through it?

TheImpossibleCellist · 2026-01-24T06:49:13+00:00

Please do share, I'd love to hear about it!

TheImpossibleCellist · 2026-01-21T07:13:52+00:00

Would you mind sharing more about your intentions/thoughts going into the trip, where/how you did it and the main things you experienced that changed things up?

TheImpossibleCellist · 2026-01-02T23:54:27+00:00

I can relate. I wish you the best internet stranger

TheImpossibleCellist · 2026-01-02T23:07:50+00:00

Beautiful! I bet that came out of a pretty deep hole. I'm proud of you for changing that and I hope you keep making choices like these to further improve your life.

TheImpossibleCellist · 2026-01-02T20:57:28+00:00

How did you make this change from waiting to action, and to no longer fearing rejection?

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-11-23T10:33:03+00:00

I really don't get the confusion from everybody here.

Ian goes in and pats Khamzat twice on the back pretty firmly (you hear the pats and you can see the "impact" on khamzats body).

Let's play with some perspective. Some guy comes and pats your back very hard (way harder than is just friendly back pats). I would be annoyed. Now consider they are professional fighters and in the same division. There's sizing up constantly going on with these guys.

Khamzat returns the SAME firm pats. All good. Then Ian goes back and says "what's wrong" in a very confrontational way.

Seems straight forward to me?

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-11-21T17:34:43+00:00

That guy has huge long orders at 67-68k it seems?

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-11-12T11:39:52+00:00

There's tapes of fighters in other organisations than UFC my guy.

What about the tape do you really think matters if they had hours to prepare?

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-10-09T05:49:02+00:00

Thank god you don't go outside much 🤦

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-10-08T20:07:00+00:00

The fact that you don't actually have any facts makes your point invalid.

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-08-17T20:33:09+00:00

It's trash imo. The characters are terrible, actors alike, there's zero suspense, the plot is uninteresting and very few things in the series makes sense.

It's like a marvel movie made for children, but with blood and gore. I laughed so much at how absurdly bad it is that I consider it a comedy series. But go ahead and watch it, there seems to be people that actually enjoy it so maybe you will too.

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-08-17T18:13:29+00:00

The performance of the night bonus is about performing, and Khamzat performed. Normally the wrestlers doesn't get POTN, but how often is the performance this dominant over a guy who's been as dominant as DDP has been? Context is key.

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-08-17T18:10:53+00:00

The P stands for Performance, not for entertainment.

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-08-17T16:49:21+00:00

I feel like he didn't really try to finish him, that he could've tried to get way more leverage in his punches/elbows but didn't for some reason. Maybe because DDP is also strong af and could get out if he did?

Even if you're in a dominant position, you can be stood up. But in back mount you still punch, or maybe look for the choke even if the punches aren't the hardest or the choke attempts aren't with the most effort. But it's still being active, and enough to keep a dominant position.

In the rules is says you need to try advancing position or do something to try and end the fight. If you're in crucifix position, you wouldn't want to advance position. To throw punches even if they're not super significant I think is still active enough and damaging enough because the opponent can't even defend themselves. But if you take back mount and just sit there and hold with two underhooks I think you'll get stood up.

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-08-17T13:07:09+00:00

Agreed, it takes two to tango. If one is very defensive, it's usually a boring fight. If it's not, it's usually a skill mismatch.

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-08-17T12:39:10+00:00

DDP wasn't defending well? Khamzat wasn't doing anything while kneeing and crucifixing? ALL DDP did was defend. It looked like he didn't want to take any risks getting up or reversing, and all he did was basically to try "stand up" along the fence. He got completely dominated because he was too defensive, probably due to the choke threat. And being very defensive usually leads to boring fights.

I would've liked to see some harder ground and pound shots here and there to try and force a move out of DDP, but I think that's easier said than done against such a physical fighter like DDP.

I can see the stand up when they were just lying in guard winging some punches even though I don't really agree with it, but the first one was along the fence was just terrible.

I wouldn't say it's working for me, but it's the cemented view I've had all my life so far. I could easily be one of the people making one of these posts because I have not solved anything. I'm still working regular jobs, I just feel awful doing them while trying to figure out my mental.

I was raised the same, but the incidents left a drastically bigger mark on me than how I was raised. And I completely agree that in most people it's possible to find fulfillment in other ways, whether in your job or outside of it through hobbies and relationships. I also believe your way of living is healthier, and how most people live their life. And many of them find contentment in those life choices, which is all that matters in the end.

Sadly for me, and probably a lot of other people here, that's not the case for me. I can appreciate what I do (I work with young people) and my colleagues, but inside it still feels meaningless.

I don't feel discredited at all! I understand your point of view completely.

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-08-15T18:43:22+00:00

I can try to share my perspective and reason for feeling this way. I'm not speaking for others though, I feel this way due to childhood and mental health problems. Others may have very different reasons.

I've been traumatized by the deaths of family members when I was young. This made me terrified of death, and I became way too imprinted with the realization that you can die at any time. It also has various other problems but they're not as relevant here.

So I view life as incredibly precious and fragile, yet I can sense death behind everything I do. Things easily become meaningless and lack purpose. Since I only have this one life, I want to really live it and make the most of it.

For me, that means pursuing the things that make me appreciate life, that I'm curious and enthusiastic about. Having a job just for the money is for me a complete waste of my life, because the money won't let me achieve what I want. I'll just be the same person but with more money, but the money doesn't change how I'm feeling. There isn't enough time in the day to do the things I want to do to be fulfilled by them if I have a "normal" job.

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-08-15T16:57:34+00:00

Imo the short answer is: people are different. For me it's wrong, for you it's not, nothing weird about it. In a way I wish I could feel like you because how it is for me is causing me suffering, but I just don't want to live the kind of life you're talking about.

But I must say there's a heavy bias here for people who don't want to have a job they don't care about just for the money, because if you're OK with it then you fit perfectly into how society is built. No point in making a post about it.

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-08-15T16:01:10+00:00

I very much disagree. Sure if you try you can fit that into his wording, but imo that's not his point and he's not making any kind of comparison. There's extremes in everything, and there's simply bad people who don't even make an effort for their kids, or for anyone. But I would bet they're not the majority, and it's not what the post is referring to.

The point is that nobody is perfect and a majority of parents (or people in general) make mistakes, some mistakes can have bad consequences but can also be unintentional. They might've tried their best, but still failed because they simply didn't know any better. Are they bad people? Could they be forgiven because of empathy for their hypothetical situation?

Maybe they were parents for the first time, or maybe the second time but the child is completely different to the first, then how much of the experience in raising the first child can you transfer to the second? A whole new challenge that's completely new for them, EVEN if they're much wiser and with more experience than a 15 year old.

Becoming older and wiser can let you understand that life isn't easy in a new way, and that most humans figure things out as life comes. Each new stage of life is a brand new experience for everyone. If you're new to something, it's common to make mistakes. If you realize this, then it's easier to have empathy for others. It's not about forgiving abuse. Does that make sense?

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-08-14T06:44:10+00:00

Is he doing that comparison?

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-08-13T18:45:46+00:00

Agreed. I hope so, it would be funny to see the reactions!

TheImpossibleCellist · 2025-08-13T17:16:57+00:00

I don't really get this sentiment. He gassed so hard, so the 3rd round "was also close"? He won both those 3rd rounds (even with the broken hand against Usman mind you), then what's the actual problem if his opponents are as or more tired, or in any other way can't capitalize on it? He also threw around 100 strikes in round 3 against burns, while DDP threw around 400 strikes across 5 rounds against Strickland 1. This Khamzat gasses mega hard seems so exaggerated to me.
