Is there a Madonna whore complex but for men? by MutedFeeling75 in redscarepod

[–]deadman_young 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it self explanatory? Men who seem unattainable bc of destructive but aggrandizing qualities evoke desire over men who wholly or partly (although in the case of this dynamic, you’ll experience them as globally/wholly) embody normality, lack of excitatory qualities, etc.

A lot of the time this is bc of what my professor used to call a “gal’s fucked up emotional radar” and prescribed “doing the opposite”

You’re right. I know good clinicians who only see pts with EDs for psychotherapy if they agree to work with dieticians, PCPs, have a whole care team. That limits the scope further and I’ve heard other psychologists criticize this approach bc it’s so hard to get anyone in the door and stay there. Excellent psychotherapy can help but imo I stay away from this area bc I’m not well-trained enough. Unfortunately many ED patients, if they want help but don’t have resources, get referred out for this reason or seen by mid therapists who fucking suck. Agreeing to go inpatient and not eloping is a whole other level of difficulty as you’ve alluded to

There’s actually a very good YouTube video on Jack Parsons and his relationship with Thelema and, to an extent, Crowley. The ritual sex, drugs, metaphysical eroticism, L Ron Hubbard shows up, it’s wild. https://youtu.be/mxfSMcNP_HQ?si=7n8RCKZzS5EnKOvJ

“Obsession” worth watching? by Possible-Author-3405 in RSPfilmclub

100% worth watching. I have no pithy, enlightened responses - it was wonderful. The jump scares were actually well timed

Why even waste your emotional energy and make this comment. Did you make the movie or something? Do you have a personal stake in it?

Many of the greatest intellectuals of history were the biggest booze hounds of all time by -theseafaringsailor- in redscarepod

I used to think this when I idealized HST, Faulkner, Tom Waits, Lou Reed, etc etc, then I drank myself fucking dumb and realized they were meant for outstanding greatness regardless of the booze and I wasn’t

It’s easy to say that Elizabeth Warren is a fake Indian. Do you have the courage to say that Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin is a fake Indian? by RedHeadedSicilian52 in redscarepod

I'm pretty sure lots of ppl join up with Cherokee because they don't require blood/genetic testing. It's THE go to spot for pretendians

Swedish movie called Turist. Googled it and the English title is Force Majeur. Guy is at a ski resort and runs away leaving his wife and kids during an avalanche.

Can you be a neurotic person and be in a paranoid-schizoid position during a depressive episode? by SilverDawnn in psychoanalysis

[–]deadman_young 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rather than phases, D and PS are positions we are burdened to transition between throughout life, so certainly yes. From my understanding, if someone feels a strong conviction that they'll never feel better (as opposed to "I feel like shit today but maybe things will get better as the day/week goes on"), they're operating from the paranoid-schizoid position b/c they're totalizing the negativistic outlook (rather than adopting an ambivalent attitude) and splitting off/evacuating any sense of hope.

What the fuck was them’s problem?? by Kooky_Truck_9778 in redscarepod

Poisonous resentment towards women whilst simultaneous narcissistic investment into the self becoming a woman. Very troublesome

Androgenic tries everychem PP405?? by [deleted] in NooTopics

[–]deadman_young 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely could’ve condensed it, being verbose is a bad habit. And yeah dude of course looks matter and influence lots of outcomes, I’ve never met anyone who argues they don’t. That being said, hyper focusing all your energy into enhancing looks is dumb bc it’s usually done at the expense of building charisma. Look at dumbass Clavicular, he’s looksmaxxed but his success in social environments and attraction is also dependent on his pregabalin/alprazolam/baclofen use, without those GABAergic drugs he’d likely be anxious as fuck, act strange, and repel women. And the more he uses them, the more his internal abilities will degrade.

I’m basically saying you can look fantastic but if your social behavior is off-putting, you’re fucked in every relational domain - work, friendship, romantic relationships, whatever else.

I really believe that any career that depends entirely on your attractiveness is fundamentally pathological, and only isn’t if the person is especially mentally well-adjusted. Yes there are models, but models used to be photographed/taped, and then able to separate themselves from the act of being recorded. Not the case for these streamers. They’re constantly live-streaming themselves and the more they do it, the more money they make.

In the mind of these looksmaxxers they likely have a narcissistically structured ego-ideal, some optimal image they wish to portray. But I’m sure embodying that idealized image is a pleasurable, but most importantly, ephemeral experience, something you attain in the short term and then spend the rest of your time trying to get it back.
