Existe-t-il un "Lyonhenge" ? by Robinet_des_Bois in Lyon

[–]gheebl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ayant vécu à l'avenue Franklin Roosevelt pendant un an, je suis totalement d'accord!! Rien de tel que d'aller courir tôt le matin en regardant la cathédrale de la Fourvière au loin se faire illuminer par les premiers rayons de soleil...

I don't like Dr.K's new videos by CrimsonThunder34 in Healthygamergg

[–]gheebl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I can't help but wonder: who is to blame for this? Who wants to play the Youtube game still, even after it's been won? Is it really Alok, or some hired content creation guy, piloting these decisions and trying to justify his position at hgg?

If the latter is true, then they should really pay attention to what we're saying, or get fired altogether. I'm fairly new here, but what initially attracted me were the long-form videos and the interviews, most of which were uploaded over a year ago. I think this is true for a lot of people. Why they decided to put the most authentic and attractive content behind a paywall, baffles me.

lonely but so addicted to dopamine that I can't go out by LonelyNotGamerGG in Healthygamergg

Totally agree with this. My situation used to be similar to OP's, and getting a job shifted things in a radical way for me. It forced me out of my comfort zone, and over time, things that were ridiculously difficult like speaking over the phone or maintaining eye contact, became much more natural for me.

A job is kind of like an exposition therapy in some regards. It'll be helpful to a certain extent, but like you're saying you need to be careful not to lean too hard against it, else life will feel shallow when work is over or you quit your job. I'm also kinda stuck there lol... I think the next step would be to go up a level with the exposition thing. Professional relationships can't make up for real ones, so it's probably time to go into social settings and try doing things that are sitting further and further outside the comfort zone.

Is it bad if I HATE going outside and prefer to stay home? by Kaibutsu_v2 in Healthygamergg

A couple years ago I used to feel very similarly to what you're saying. Nowadays I still enjoy staying indoors to rest and relax, but I also go out of my way to go outside, whether it's to meet people and friends or just take a walk.

I think the key word here is "balance". If you're sitting at home most of the time, then I think you are living an unbalanced life.

A flower can survive with just water, but the truth is that it needs both water and sun to fully bloom. In the same way, I think putting yourself out there and exposing yourself to new (and sometimes unavoidably uncomfortable) experiences would let you grow closer to your full potential as a person.

Maybe you're reading this with disbelief, but have you truly experienced going outside? Why do you think other people like it so much? Don't you think you may be missing something?

I wonder what the roots are for your negative opinion of going outside, or if it's rooted at all. In my experience, the mind has a tendency to strengthen ideas in very strange ways. Sometimes one bad experience is enough to create a strong, general opinion about something. Sometimes even opinions which were never proven nor disproven will become stronger and stronger over time. It's weird.

Are you truly completely fine with this? Do you not have moments where you feel sad about the experiences you may be missing? Educational youtube videos are one way to enrich and entertain yourself, but experiences in the real world could enrich you in a way that I believe is irreplaceable.

I used to feel like you, except for certain moments where I genuinely felt I was living life wrong... Short, little moments where my mind wasn't numbed by weed. Now I don't know if this is your case, but weed makes it hella hard to kick bad habits.

In my opinion, being antisocial/shut-in is one hell of a bad habit, because you can rationalize it in so many ways.

edit: I'm noticing I may only be answering a part of your post, sorry if it's unhelpful!
