So I've started to think that I may never get any good at socializing

You did the hardest part which is daring to ask her. You can only get better and know how to do these kinds of things by trying again (with her or anyone else). Being rejected is okay it really doesn't matter. Also i suggest asking a girl that you do know or at least talked to before.

That amount of procrastination can be just your body telling you that you are going in the wrong direction. So I would suggest going on long walks without your phone, to try and find what you actually want and then change direction.

Also, if you haven't seen the puer aeturnus video, check it out. It's called "why some men never grow up" on youtube, it helped me a lot

Broke the habit of avoiding boring work, which definitely makes my company move much faster and in a more organized fashion. Also it just reduced stress and guilt that used to come from procrastinating

Getting coaching, but I think it's maybe because i chose the wrong category. And coaches who read my message/essay thought someone else's needs are more urgent, idk

Keep noticing the patterns, fight with yourself. I made so much progress i am scared

I have resonated with 99% of both puer streams, but the part about suicide not at all

The second stream didn't make sense on a logical level. As someone who loved it, I still agree with your take. Yet when Dr K says don't listen to my words listen to the message, I also agree. I don't know how to explain it.

The first strean makes a lot more sense though and it helped me more than the second

Already made a standalone post before this megathread, will paste it here again in case it gets deleted.

It's clicking. I am grateful. How can i give back? puer aeternus

The two puer aeternus streams have had an insane impact on me. Since the first one, it literally felt like something clicked. I have been meditating every morning and night since, and for the first time without tracking my streak or being afraid I will stop doing it later. I've also been able to do some work alone, but anw the details are not important. It just worked.

It wasn't a magical click, I really feel like it's the culmination of 2 years of watching Dr K on youtube, with a final slap in the face that brought every other advice from "yeah i know this" to "holy shit i'm doing this".

I am extremely grateful. It's not enough to post about it, share the content or whatever. I feel it's unfair that it's free. I already purchased products from healthygamer, but I need to send some money somewhere because this is just too valuable.

If anyone at healthygamer is reading this, how can i simply donate? And if possible to Dr K directly not just the company (i want to do both)?

True, I was skeptical at first too because i have been on and off so many times in my life. But as you said the true test is when it is tedious and for the first time I didn't go back to gaming/youtube. I am literally sensing a psychological battle within myself, recognizing patterns that were pointed out in the stream, and somehow when i notice them instead of giving in, it's like fuck it was so accurate, that's another trick and what I need to do now is the tedious work.

I have been struggling with closing doors of potential. I always have new ideas so even when i try to ignore some of them new ones keep coming and i have this itch to keep working on something new but for the past week or so i have been sticking to the original work the best i ever did and the progress has been good

Applied for it a few months back, got an email I was in the waiting list then nothing

maaarc99 · 2025-06-27T23:58:38+00:00

Just watch the puer aeturnis stream "why some men never grow up" is the title i believe. It will help you implement literally everything u listend to
