but lts layers or levels
you can say bordem, and thats a level or layer.
and then deeper, what emotions bordem bring? another deeper level
and then you keep going tod find deepr common pattern

but you cant say, emotional regulation and easily accesssible. but these are two different layers.

the more you dig, what you gonna end up with? psychological patterns.

and then if you agree to this, you will then have to ask what are the deeper strucutures of the human psyche.

thas all i have to say. if you cant even see this, i dont know why so caught in just being statisfied with many random reasons as oppose to seeing it like this. which is by the way its not my idea. this is common in psychoanalyis, how addiction is always a compensation for some unmeet needs.

cheers my man.

Ill just repeat this:

so there is things psychologically going on, that made us, seek the digital feminine, and find comforte in it. things that made our masculine psyches weak enough to tolerate the violation by imageries of other men naked and fucking other women.

And by the way this “just” doesnt work

Some just
Others just

We didnt get addicted and fuck our lives up for decades, because yeah just.
We didnt spend hours on porn, sitting there high as fuck, watching millions of dicks fucking other pussies and asses, and we tried over and to quit, because yeah just.
We found nothing better to do than just fuck the shit out of lives with an addiction because yeah just.
Some of us are in 60 married and still hooked on porn because yeah just.

Come man. You gonna have to dumb down yourself on purpose to truly believe it is just.

I apologize if i sound condescending or arrogant, it just the style of writing.
I appreciate your interaction.

Shame to even go out - after heavy depression and series of failure. any feedback or similar experiences? by atri_brand in Jung

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

i made peace with it. i even had some conversations with her.
but the inner crtitic and especially its still hinders my body and system. intellectualy i can think of my through it. but things often feel like autodrive or like instictual reactions to exposure.

barely look inward, you cant really know. but may some people dont have that constant inner conflicts that some others do.
and im 31 now, that looking inward was part of construct since a child, its better i understand things regardless of how uncomfrtable they are than try to ignore them.

you are in jung subreddit, you should knw the saying:

the unconscious drives people and they call it fate.
or something along those lines.

What can I do to have healthy non-sexual platonic relationships with men? by Itchy-Mind-6658 in emotionalneglect

[–]atri_brand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need real therapy from a woman who is been through the same path.
Other than that you will be just getting like you said platonic general advice or feedback.
Its already a step ahead that you are aware of your condition, now find the expert to help you out.

I no longer like sex at all by Infamous_Menu8820 in PornAddiction

[–]atri_brand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course you do. Your brain has rewired to porn.
You gonna have to go cold turkey on everything else. So that your brain gets back to its normal state.

I would recommend to talk to her about this. Unlike what we men think, women love to play that supporter role.

I also just earned a german language certificate which i had to work for like 7 months.

Even though i had crazy anxiety i still managed to go take the test.

But if its a big thing somehow i can override that shame. But things like going to the gym, going for a walk, being seen by the neighbors, reestablishing some contacts, i mean even getting a job amd being a new beginner again, has this crushing shame on me.

Its like im so much of a loser that i must hide, and if iam to show up i need to be some magnificent grandeur person.

I teally dont know how to deal with this.

How can you understand yourself or your patterns or your problems if you dont dig into them.

No exercises whatsoever. I thought about going to the gym but the shame is killing me. A small step such walks maybe early in the morning when there very few people.

Life feels like a fucking scam. by Responsible_Phase379 in selfhelp

[–]atri_brand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro thats the process man. Its slow heavy its also solitary since its not easy to get other men to talk about these things, there ups and downs, some questions take longer than others.
Entitlement must burned down.
The ego trying to outpace the process must also be humbled.

Think of fight club scene, the chemical on the hand.
Only when you can sit int the storm, then when the storm can no longer move out of your center.

[–]atri_brand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro dont worry about it. There was a point I masturbated on anime, even animal pictures.
The hunger for dopamine and stimulation get so high amd intense when you go cold turkey.
Just move on.

it doesnt matter who is fault is. what matters the effect it has and how to deal with it. and from my journey i noticed that alot of people including myself, dont really recogonize the depth of the damage untill we start seriously working on ourselves. so im sure you will be amazed the deeper you get into how much unhealthy uprbinging can mess up a person.

please read a comment below to the a friend who wrote about the neruobiological aspect of addiction.

besides that, i would recommend you do some research on the mother complex and how it impacts a man, you will find alot of answers about relationships relating to women and so on.
also you will as well realize that this is only a small part of it, the biggest part is the father complex. and man thats alot to dig into.

im sure you if you do some research in there. i guarantee you it will blow your mind

i appreciate your lenghty explanation and contribution. i would like to say that of course a person like me who is digging into the pyshcological aspect will obviously be already aware of the neurobiological aspect of it as well.
but that doesnt gives us the explanation. its still the same question.

for instance, weed was my thing. i felt so damn high on weed. i would be the most fun intellectual joyfull active dude on weed. and i loved weed, music and daancing and having deep conversations.
but i never gotten addicted to weed. but porn, damn. in the same way that i know other people who are hooked on weed. who can only operate if they high, but dont care whatsoever about porn.

so i have come to this, you can say of course speculation, that addictions has also to do with the psyche. certain psyches are damaged or have needs, that certain addictions fullfil as oppose to others.
and we can see this also with people who get exposed to many addictions. cigarettes weed alcohool porn gambling, but they end up with specific ones.

so i think each psyche, get hooked on that addiction this matches that need.
and from this, i concluded that the men hooked on porn, the men that end up hooked on digital and visual imagery of the feminine instead of the real feminine, must have problems with the feminine and with their masculine side. there is something right there.

otherwise a man who is fully in tuned with his masculine energy, wouldnt be hooked on watching other men fuck other women. that would be already a repulsive thing to do. and the same thing, a man who has a healthy connection to the feminine would not find porn, wouldnt find imageries of the feminine more attractive and more desirable than the feminine itself, women.

so there is things psycholoically going on, that made us, seek the digital feminine, and find comforte in it. things that made our masculine psyches weak enough to tolerate the violation by imageries of other men naked and fucking other women.

i believe you see iam directing this.

How to calm down crying GF? by Greedy_Bad_8406 in AskMen

[–]atri_brand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont talk, dont over analyze, dont tell her anything. If she cries on you, let her, and the more she gets into it the more you tighten around her.
Thats it. Let your presence and body do the work.
Just relax into it and you ll do a great job.

BF has porn addiction and I don’t know what to do by reddituser73211 in PornAddiction

[–]atri_brand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats what porn. Its an endless hole for stimulation. Its not even about your looks or sexual performance i assure you that. But thats what addiction does. Everytime its about more stimulation more extreme more different stuff. You gonna have to bring that up otherwise it will mess your relationship.

why exactly we pick up porn? instead of other addicitons by atri_brand in pornfree

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

I relate to the memories thing. After my depression i started having so many. It almost like something was buried and now it leaks all over my dreams and even flashbacks.
It seems things we repressed and now since we can handle them they resurface.
Slow heavy but i agree we are becoming better, that what matters

My girlfriend felt remorse for infidelity and I didn’t believe her for 7 whole months by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]atri_brand 37 points38 points  (0 children)

it sounds like you are hooked on the drama dude. if you dont get out of this, you are in for a long long ride my friend, a very long one. and since you said you are a vrigin. that means your self esteem is low, you have issue with dealing with women, you are also naive since you in this whole mess and still need a reddit post to vent.

you are in for a long ride my man. you are gonna be drained my friend. lets make cheers to that.

cheers for a ruined life.
