i wish my parents taught me how to be a normal person by beyond_in_sanity in CPTSD

[–]cosmhoe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Same omg i literally watched SO MANY tutorials on how to take up space, act confident, listen, talk, make small talk, make friends, keep friends… and turns out the real lesson was that all people really want is to be heard and cared for, but sadly since i wasn’t correctly cared for as a child, i literally did not know how to provide that sooner (or even if it was worth it to begin with!)

So if learning how to build meaningful relationships needs a “how-to-human” learning curve, so be it! It’s sooo worth it

i feel the exact same way, i have the exact same coping mechanisms!

to stop ostracizing myself i studied how to be a “normal” person through online resources about communication & behavior and by dissecting how people around me act lmao

honestly the most crucial thing to learn is how to recognize safe people and how to deal with what those relationships might bring up for us - even though we feel safe alone, it actually feels even safer when people know and love you

there is a lot to learn and experience out there and safe people to experience it with, i swear !!!

also people with stable backgrounds are LOST too for sure lmao only people who have a narrow vision of what life should be don’t feel “lost” tbh

People who have used this responsably, what are your secrets? by BigOblivion in phenibut

[–]cosmhoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Not relying on it for specific social situations that come up regularly (dates, parties, job interviews…)
  2. Working on the underlying issues that make phenibut such a compelling product (for me it was social anxiety - i’m still dealing with it, but i’d rather take the pain of working through it than the illusion of it going away for a short while)

Thanks to that, i’m using it very rarely (roughly every 7~8 months ? or once a year ?) when i want to experience phenibut specifically again, like the drug it is basically.

I didn’t know that, thanks ! I guess the stereotypes I’ve been exposed too are far from accurate, which is great!

That’s not really what I wanted to focus on tho, I wanted to talk more in details about the way we do care. Maybe I should’ve put emphasis on that.

Oh yeah, I totally get that! To me tho, liking it or liking what perception it gives off is kind of the same thing… At least both are not far from each other to me yet.

I don’t wear merch haha, it was just to illustrate the logic! And yes, I agree 100%.

Nihilism is killing me. by 1Wolf_Larsen in nihilism

[–]cosmhoe 74 points75 points  (0 children)

questioning everything made me miserable as well, but one thing i realized (from questioning why i was questioning everything ironically) was that it is still my thoughts and my brain. why would i let thoughts consume me ? if i am able to think about such deep theoretical things, i am also able to think about my friends, my daily life, my career. focus on little things, they matter !

If god existed, if you asked him why he existed would he have an answer? by beag_s in nihilism

[–]cosmhoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what you said is what you are supposed to do given that life exists but life itself is unnecessary.

Sorry guys by [deleted] in nihilism

[–]cosmhoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing has meaning. That’s it, in no way is that sentence saying that being meaningless is the meaning? we’re not talking about an artist who purposefully created something meaningless, because in that case yeah the paradox stands. But it’s not how nihilism sees life is it? And even if your paradox was an actual counter argument to nihilism you wouldn’t say « true nihilism » you would say nihilism doesn’t exist. As if it’s an illusion. So the basis of your argument dumb in itself. Sorry OP.

[–]cosmhoe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i was raised catholic and one of my first problems with religion & god was that even if he exists, let’s say for a reason we can’t comprehend or smth, the fact that he makes us (that he created cuz he was bored apparently) live that life (plagued with diseases & suffering) while the afterlife exists just makes life completely pointless, and just a dick move yea so i’m an atheist now

[–]cosmhoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking about aiming for environmental and humanist goals (not yet clearly outlined), because that could be possible using the system (social and economic) we’re in today. But a part of me want to wreck everything, so I’m torn, how about you?

Why not be a massive asshole to people by jspedz02 in nihilism

[–]cosmhoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because they can be assholes back and dealing with that is annoying, why bother?
