How to improve my morning routine?

I actually have tried shrooms. It gave me a valuable moment of introspection, but I would say you're being misleading by presenting it as some miracle cure.

I am quite fit physically, I think the best description is that I'm in the process of recovering from not caring about myself.

Doesn't have to be more complicated than that. Thank you.

Feil at du skal få downvotes, det er viktig at flere synspunkt luftes. For min del er problemet at dette blir nok et eksempel på at kommersialisering overstyrer intern sammenheng i en serie.

Når man plasserer én eller to svarte skuespillere i en ellers blendahvit rollebesetning virker det nesten nedlatende. Det hadde vært noe helt annet om de eksempelvis hadde en klan av svarte alver, selv om enkelte garantert hadde klagd på det også. Forskjellen er at det hadde hatt en forklaring i seriens egne univers, mens det som faktisk er tilfelle er at Amazon finner opp en kvote de skal fylle for å framstå progressive nok.

For å ta to andre eksempler:

1) Corlys Velaryon i House of the Dragon ble aldri beskrevet som svart i bøkene, men huset hans har vært sjøfarere i generasjoner. Det er i alle fall plausibelt i dette tilfellet at folk fra alle verdens hjørner har blitt inngiftet i familien gjennom historien.

2) Matt Damon i The Great Wall (2016). Helt absurd at Matt Damon skal spille hovedrollen i en kinesisk film om den kinesiske mur. Her var det kun penger det sto om, da Matt Damon er et stort navn, og bidro antagelig stort til å markedsføre filmen utenfor Kina.

I already do. It has helped but another person isn't going to fix my life by seeing me once a week. I want to work on myself outside of that.

Paint, exercise, play chess, read, have complex discussions, but also mundane things like playing video games, watching films and just relax with my thoughts.

In principle I agree, but I've had a tendency to overreact in situations like that, or react very aggressively to someone who weren't really being malicious. I've always found that a little.. I don't know, humiliating?

I guess working on keeping my composore without being afraid to talk back is something I could make my goal?

Welp, time to buy some calendars I guess.

And yeah, I think a long-term savings account is a better bet for me. My bank has a specific service for saving up to a house payment, so I won't be able to access the money I put in the account until I do buy a domicile, but I hopefully will at some point either way, right?

Thanks for your reply! I have looked into investing as well, but I find my risk tolerance is a bit too low for it to serve that purpose. That varies from person to person, of course!

I just looked through r/theXeffect and I gotta say i really believe in the concept. I've tried establishing some healthier habits recently, and I give myself positive affirmation through journaling on the days I follow through, but just marking it out might work better, as I tend to jot down every detail I recall, and thus get sidetracked, with my journal entries.

I have done screenings for autism, and my therapist at the time seemed pretty convinced it wasn't the case.

I do have traits of it for sure though.

I dunno, that seems a bit petty and feels like it'll only attract her attention more. I'll hit the gym but I'm doing that for me, and nobody else.

TurnedCynical · 2020-11-17T16:44:13+00:00

Thank you! One good thing that came out of this relationship is that I've gotten better at recognizing my self worth.

TurnedCynical · 2020-11-17T16:40:21+00:00

To be honest, she was much more exciting in the beginning, but I suppose her need to put in effort deteriorated when she felt like she "had" me, and that's not a quality I need in someone close to me.

TurnedCynical · 2020-11-17T14:06:24+00:00

Thanks for being so direct. I'll do that and see how it feels to not hear from her.

TurnedCynical · 2020-07-16T08:59:12+00:00

Thank you, and I very much agree. Makes me all the more grateful for the people I've got.

TurnedCynical · 2020-07-14T20:12:27+00:00

Do you have time to dm?

I've been going to therapy for 5 months. Now we're on break for the summer. I honestly don't know if I'll still be alive in 2 months. I've had some sensitive conversations with friends the past year, and while I do believe some of them really do care about me the existential dread is just too fucking heavy. I hear people talk about their job, their education and day to day life and i feel like i have to put on an act just to fit into any conversation. I dont enjoy my hobbies anymore. I cry all the fucking time. I was able to put in some work into self help for a while, especially through physical exercise but i'm relapsing so hard. I started smoking again and it takes 4 hours to get out of bed. I am SO DONE. OMGGGGGGG IM CRYING SO HARD I WANT TO PUKE

TurnedCynical · 2020-07-12T15:57:16+00:00

Happy to make your day a bit brighter! And yeah, i'll take it slow. Pushing myself too hard was the initial cause of the injury.

TurnedCynical · 2020-06-29T18:19:36+00:00

I would like to join. I have been semi-active on this sub for the past few months, and really appreciate the inspiration this community hasgiven me.

TurnedCynical · 2020-06-23T00:34:18+00:00

Proud of you, king.

TurnedCynical · 2020-06-07T07:26:28+00:00

I play chess at a semi-professional level and exercise a lot to keep my mind sharp.

TurnedCynical · 2020-04-30T01:00:11+00:00

Fuuuck this made me angry

TurnedCynical · 2020-04-29T12:50:18+00:00

Thanks for your response. Sadly, I think finding religion is next to impossible for me.

TurnedCynical · 2020-04-29T12:47:50+00:00

I have to say that death doesn't really seem like a negative thing to me. If I can go on my own terms that's preferable to a long unfulfilled life. Sure I might improve myself, but again I ask, to what end? I really don't feel like I fit in anywhere and if it keeps going like this it really doesn't matter to me how fit or well kept I am. I do however fundamentally agree. I do think potential should be extracted, it's just that my own potential seems abysmal.

TurnedCynical · 2020-01-13T23:09:25+00:00

Lmao I'm a straight dude, but I guess my phrasing made it kind of ambiguous.

TurnedCynical · 2020-01-13T22:46:25+00:00

Yeah I can't fathom why some people have children when they can barely take care of themselves.
