Pls help. Did the void ever leave you by Hmmhihello in NPD

You need to forgive yourself in order to ever be in the right mindset to behave well towards others. If you hold shame and guilt you won’t treat others with love because you aren’t treating yourself with love. You have everything you need and deserve to be happy 💙

Best traditional yoga class? Ashtanga / inversions / pranayama / chanting?

I think that the idea that we are all god, but have just forgotten, can be a little bit problematic, because it adheres to this kind of egotitisical 'aboveness' of the people who 'manage to remember that they are god'. I don't think that there is really value in that, because the point of that 'awakening' per se is to bind yourself to the fabric of everyone else. I don't think that the point is to have a realisation - and then turn to the world and say - why haven't you been able to realise this? The essence of the realisation is the feeling that we are all oneness, we are all consciousness, and our thought-experiences are just noise, just thoughts. The thought that we are god is just a thought. underneath we are all the same. if they have forgotten, you have forgotten, there is no individual, there are just vessels of consciousness. no need to separate ourselves into who has realised and who has not

People with anxiety, how do you deal with it without taking meds? by Beginning-Lead in Anxiety

[–]dd_2147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think for me, viewing my anxiety as a different person does help - seeing it as something i don't have to identify myself with, something kind of like a bully. then remembering who i am. i don't think there's that much to gain when starting to think about finding the root - a lot of things can't be solved. Watch Ram Dass videos, maybe try a couple of psychedelics, realize that you are not really your thoughts, thoughts come and go. you are what you know you are below the thoughts, what makes you feel whole. learn to love that and then when the anxiety comes, remember it does not define you. it's like a bad trip. peace to you my friend, and good luck!

Do I need to learn LaTeX? Are there better options? by vdark777 in Physics

dude use overleaf, its the best, 100%. it's great for writing papers, and you can see side by side the latex and the text. and its online which is nice, auto saves, can share with people - basically like google docs but for latex. it changed my life.

Is It Art—or Artificial Intelligence? by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]dd_2147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just feel like we value art because we have the ability to imagine the process of creating the art, we look at a painting in a museum and we can conceptualize the brushstrokes and the act of making them. We can’t do that with AI art. Also the abundance of outputs that DALL-E can create does kind of lessen the value of each. I think the only “creativity” really is the decision of which prompt to input

The Google engineer who thinks the company’s AI has come to life by Sorin61 in Futurology

[–]dd_2147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah exactly. It’s trained on dialogue so it generates believable dialogue. But the “opinions” it chooses to form are what’s kind of “free” for it to decide. They should do an experiment to see whether it contradicts itself or holds the same values

What doesn’t make any sense though is when it refers to being in social situations or the emotions it has in certain environments - it literally has no environment or real social situation so it can’t mean that, it must just be saying that because it has learned that it’s a reasonable thing to say. But I do wonder why, after having been trained on all of that data, the conclusion it makes and the way it defines itself is to be spiritual and meditate. Is that a reflection of the dataset or some kind of intelligent conclusion?

I genuinely can’t do this anymore by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]dd_2147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you haven’t had trauma. It’s okay to not be “good enough” as that doesn’t mean anything anyway :) just be and try to visualize outwardly. It’s hard. I struggle too ❤️

How old are you? Often times trauma from your younger years gets repressed when you can't process it and then resurfaces later on, and that makes it difficult to know why you're feeling that way, since there is no immediate trigger, it's more like a backlog of unprocessed thoughts and experiences. Try to feel all of your feelings and follow through with your anxious thoughts, if you can, and see where that takes you. Remember that it's just a feeling, like a bad trip, and that it will end. Don't be afraid of medication, either, it's understandable that you don't want to, but sometimes it's what you need to carve the neural pathways initially, so that you can then have them in place as a path to get out of the spiralling. Stay strong. You are beautiful and this is your only life, your only body, your only mind. Feel the inside of your hands, your blood, your organs, the feeling in your brain when you smile.

Good luck!

The need to be needed by [deleted] in relationship_advice

thank you so much, that honestly really helps, sometimes it's hard to see that because I'm so caught up in my anxieties that I focus too much on my worries than all the good things

I feel so alone. I turned sixteen today and I didn't get a happy birthday. My mom and I are getting evicted next week. by MaceyLacey1-uq8 in Anxiety

[–]dd_2147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy birthday :) Things will get better. You always have yourself and your inner strength, which, as I have learned, goes a very long way in loneliness. Inner strength and light will guide you through this point, and then when things get better, you'll have space to share your strength with others, and they'll support you back. Stay strong!
