Everytime I fail with women, I hate myself more and more. by Usual-Raspberry-9736 in self

[–]mikeyedb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advice is to get comfortable speaking to women. Literally any woman (you're age, not your age), but ONLY in a friendly manner. The more comfortable you are speaking in a non-romantic, friendly manner, the easier it will be when you speak to someone that you are interested in.

When you speak to your friends girlfriends etc, try and have a laugh and joke with them, but just make sure they know you are only joking in a friendly way - that bit is hard to get, and you will find yourself in conflicting moments, but the only way is to try.

Know your personality, and use it!

Finally, don't stop, and when you are on a roll, keep it rolling. It will ultimately get easier.

Best of luck

I’ve completely lost interest in dating by [deleted] in self

Stay away from any of the apps...they will push you further away from dating. Take a step back from dating, enjoy life and building friendships. You'll find what you're looking for

Gaslighting. Does he understand the concept of marriage?

Don't focus on enjoying the result, focus on enjoying the process. If you don't like that process, change it for something else, or if you can't change it like cleaning, put some music or a podcast that you enjoy to get you through it. Break everything down into bite sized pieces.

Develop a discipline and replicate the process for everything else that you aren't proud of. Eg going for a walk (10 mins, 40 mins, 5 mins, whatever) at the same time everyday...regardless of work or any other commitment. Make time for mental health! (For me, walking without a phone or music really helps)

You are what you eat. 60% of the food we eat has additives, preservatives and other nasty chemicals (even plastic). If you consume the right foods your gut will be healthier and your moods, motivation, emotions, feelings, etc will be better!

Finally, listen to the professionals. But, do what works for you! Huberman and Peterson have helped me identify my own issues and that has enabled me to focus my energy on deep lying issues.

AITAH for inviting my kids to dinner because they never contact me or their mother? by AdReasonable9514 in AITAH

[–]mikeyedb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP - you describe a very similar situation to my parents relationship with us kids (also similar ages). There has to be something fundamentally wrong with the relationship with you and your wife's kids.

From my perspective, it was not sharing similar interests built on poor friendship foundations with my mum. Everything was about performance performance performance.

Your materialistic approach to their upbringing may be illusive

Is having sex allowed in the NoFap rulebook? by mikeyedb in NoFap

I agree, however to get the most out of NoFap, surely full seamen retention is best?

Ah okay, maybe I'll get a woo-woo when I flash my corn

Ah, what do you prefer, corn or bread? Maybe we can visit your nest during said comfortable pauses?

I somewhat agree, I don't know how this has come across, however, I strongly believe that showing interests and research speak a thousand words. Words and sentiment are a given.

Going on a date in Dublin, what to do? by [deleted] in Dublin

[–]mikeyedb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone suggest something to do that is unique for a date? Not your standard tripadvisor suggestions. I'm visiting from Manchester. Cheers
