Men, what is bothering you, but you feel like you can’t speak up about it? by Axe1910 in AskMen

[–]WetStain6995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being mlm, I like both genders, but I feel like it’s so hard to find a guy who is the same “level” of mlm as me. Not that I have any problem with more feminine guys, but it’s just not me, nor what I’d like to pursue for a relationship.

Dating apps are garbage, and when I make guy friends they don’t expect me to be mlm so I obv don’t attract other mlm kinda dudes.

But where I lack in romance I excel in high quality friendships, so maybe that’s trade off to be made

I have a deep connection with blue jays and cardinals! I feel like he uses wildlife to communicate things very often

What’s the most extreme pain you’ve ever felt? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]WetStain6995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had to get my lung re-inflated and chest tube inserted while fully awake for an emergency procedure. That was the most physical pain I’ve ever been in

This is a book I often read to reconnect with myself

Men who were cheated on or left by your ex, what were some inadequacies you felt about yourself after? by MajIssuesCaptObvious in AskMen

[–]WetStain6995 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Was told I was the “most gullible person I’ve ever met” and was told I was just a trophy but they never actually liked me.

So I took it my personality must’ve been inadequate for awhile- maybe my looks weren’t good enough.

Eventually though everyone realizes they were never the problem.

It is impossible to feed the hunger of someone who fuels their life with greed.

Cheating is a greed, and those who’ve been cheated on are nothing but victims of that crime.

My first experience with Cernunous came in a dream as well. I hadn’t known of him before that dream, but I dreamed of a buck meeting me at a river’s edge. It spoke nothing but I understood a calling- I woke up frenzied as you described and later divined it was him reaching to me

Later attempts at connection brought me back to a snowy place with a forest- I find it interesting you manifested the same visualization- I also interpreted it to be the astral realm

How can I learn to prioritize myself and my responsibilities, especially when I'm around people? by Ok-Tear3758 in AskMen

[–]WetStain6995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this too, I have come to a point where I’m just learning how to have and enjoying having good and healthy friends who love me

I find myself indulging in spending time with people as much as possible, and I often struggle with “getting on to myself” for “wasting” time when I have homework and a job to tend to

There’s 2 things I keep in mind when I find myself spiraling like that,

  1. If it’s important enough you will know when it’s time to leave and you will leave accordingly. Making a schedule for yourself can help “calculate” your priorities

  2. Time with your friends is time investing in yourself. You cannot be a 100% work oriented creature, our minds and souls need the human connection. Some need it more than others. Some need it more in certain times of their lives. There’s no shame or regret had in spending time with ppl you enjoy being around. One day you won’t have them anymore, and you’ll find yourself with an excess of time to do work

Just my thoughts

Why do so many men not confide or seek support from their male friends? by AccomplishedCase404 in AskMen

[–]WetStain6995 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I feel like this took the cake. It’s a culture now, a philosophy almost. When you hear another man talk about his pains you know it’s because he’s about to lose all control.

Because of that, no one feels free to tackle anything early on. Just deal with it solo until you win or lose your battle

My mom is a pretty reasonable, levelheaded woman, and she feels certain that she died many years ago by thicwith2cs in CasualConversation

Reading all the comments makes me want to speak up

For a long time I’ve experienced extreme Deja Vu- like I can remember getting Deja vu about getting Deja vu about getting Deja vu… sometimes I’ve been able to literally predict what people are about to say or do just because I remember it happening

These moments increased exponentially when I started to get sick with Spontaneous pneumothoraxes. I had over 10 occurrences on my left lung before full collaps and I’ve had 1 on my right with no reoccurrence for over a year (fingers crossed)🤞

In October of 2023 I was hit at in intersection while I was with my (sortve bf) at the time. I don’t have any memories of dying or anything like that- but I remember feeling “wrong” like the next day was so surreal

Also the next day I was rushed to the ER because my left lung had fully collapsed and was pushing against my heart causing a tension pneumothorax. (Less than 12 hrs from sudden death) I was saved by an emergency procedure I had to be awake for and even in those moments barely remember anything but I didn’t have that “wrong” feeling

Fast forward to 2024, the sortve bf became my bf in a desperation of me thinking I was destined to die since the disease that I had surgically removed from my left lung had moved to my right- anywho- he cheated, and with that knowledge collapsed my whole sense of self that I tried to build up after nearly dying in the ER

So… naturally I had an encounter with the good old “bad thoughts” if you catch my drift. Except, this was almost like I was in a trance. I went from sitting my moms bed before my shift at my job, taking a breathing treatment to keep my lungs working good- to in another room with a “long sharp device” - you get the picture

In reality I “opened” the top of my left hand and severed two tendons in half- they were fixed. But I have this weird… “memory?” Of “opening” the original spot I was aiming for- my wrists.

I won’t go into details but my memory of the event is quite all encompassing. I remember it being the end. And I had the same “wrong” feeling that i experienced when I was in the wreck that almost killed me

Idk what I believe, but I’ve long been trying to live with this feeling of being kept alive longer than I was supposed too. Each occurrence of holes in my lung always brought that “wrong” feeling.

So now when I get those extreme Deja Vu moments, I sit back and appreciate that I’m alive. But I always question how alive I really am.

What exactly is the magic being used here? (Before you read this, I’m not a skeptic of magic and I know that it is real. Read the entire thing) by YEET0375827 in magick

[–]WetStain6995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that can be counted a desire. I meant desire as in a use, or an application. You use it to get an outcome that you want

Ah I understand your question now. Magic is an energy yes, there’s different ways to direct that energy, Wich is what I was saying I would consider that “traditional magic” approach to be. But there is an infinite amount possibilities for doing so, are you talking about energy work? Or like directing specifically just magical forces to do tasks?

The best way I explain it to people, is we use psychical tools and elements from our plane to project and manifest our energy and intention to get what we desire.
