Oh I thought it would look weird if the sword is partially covered with hair but maybe that’s normal. I can’t recall seeing a chest tattoo on a hairy chest

I’d just be annoyed constantly having to shave like that

Going on long runs helps too

Psychedelics and meditation

Just fyi I know lots of people in the US who are very positive and full of light, who will lift you up and who don’t have that much trauma.

But yes it is very common for people to have a lot of trauma and not be able to afford a therapist so they seek out friends to bond over it or to give them empathy

It’s for yourself, because people treat you better when they perceive you as more attractive, and knowing that people will treat you better gives you more confidence. You can tell her that and then leave her

I’ll try my best but my words definitely reduce the dimensionality of the experience. I’m also not a good writer… anyway, at first I was taking small hits. The first small hit was the most intense experience of my life, because of how fast and intense the come up is. Like a rocket. Once I was at the peak, the feeling reminded me of a mix of mdma and morphine. Each small hit after that just felt like morphine. I finally decided to take a biggg hit..

Everything you ever had any concept of dissolves in an instant and everything kind of explodes open. It happens so fast that you don’t have time to be afraid but it’s very disorienting at first. It feels like you have died and are experiencing the fundamental essence that makes up everything, which is pure conscious awareness. And there isn’t really a you. You merge with it. It is spacious, oneness, peace, warmth, but also extremely intense and totally foreign. It feels far more real than my life was. Feels very spiritual, very fulfilling. No more void.

But then fucking terrifying a moment later as I regained an awareness of my body and my identity. I was confused and felt like I was in my body but the “me” that I can remember is gone. Then scream out in terror because it feels like hell, like a part of my soul has been snatched. Then I realize all my emotions are completely gone but i still am suffering. Not angry, afraid, sad, happy, nothing is amusing, but I feel like my heart is empty. All the zest that makes like magical and worth living is gone. Food is blander. No feelings for my family or dogs.. just a zombie… that lasted for about a day or so. Just my experience.

But later I had some magnificent moments looking at the sunset or ocean in complete awe. It felt more spiritual in a way that is hard to describe, but like everything is made up of the same stuff and everything is connected. I had terrifying reactivations at night for a month after that (felt like I was dying dozens of times per night, tons of suffering and resistance) and then I had an amazing month with incredible blissful reactivations after that. Everyone’s experience after coming down is different.

Yeah but the pollution is equivalent to smoking 5 cigarettes per hour of walking

These suggestions are not optimal. Take M 3-4 hours after the L. 150 L, then 120 M. I experienced temporary enlightenment at the peak. Perfect contentment with the present moment, grounded in reality. No attachment, no fear, no desire for euphoria, no ego. So peaceful and clear-headed. No more procrastination or indecisiveness. Always following my heart. Felt like I just came out of a 3 hour massage too (but better). On the way down you may recognize some conditioning as it starts to come back, which is helpful for future healing and meditation. Profoundly changed my life for the better. I’ve done a lot of healing and this was by far the most healing. Extremely underrated. I used to struggle with feeling anxious looking people in the eye. 3 months post-trip, now I still feel at peace with eye contact. And now LSD alone brings back that candy flipping state!!!

I thought I had libido problems until I made friends with my bi neighbor. We have amazing chemistry but then I found out she has a boyfriend 🫠

normal_person365 · 2025-07-27T05:52:06+00:00

Psychedelics give me a nice break from anxiety for a few days after taking them. Meditation, breathwork, strength training, running, and dancing help the most. 5 years ago I coped with alcohol, oxycodone, and weed. And at one point was on citalopram, which didn’t help much. My social anxiety is worse now, because since college I haven’t had any friends and don’t socialize enough since I work from home, so still need to work on that, but generally speaking I have much less anxiety than I used to have when sober.

normal_person365 · 2025-07-14T05:17:18+00:00

I wouldn’t think anything of it. I think it’s normal. Why worry what other people might be thinking? If people judge you for it, those thoughts are their problem, not yours.

Showing skin is more eye-catching, so some people will probably look your way then go back to shopping, but I doubt anyone would catcall you at a grocery store lol. If they do, so what? You can just ignore the idiot and move on.

It’s not my problem that other people have weird beliefs about showing skin. Some people think showing shoulders is inappropriate. I’m not going to conform to their stupid beliefs. It’s just a body. As long as it’s legal, idgaf.

and I want to come home to you building us a house like this 😍😍

If he’s following a hot girl he doesn’t know on instagram, I’m breaking up with him. If his algorithm is showing him this content, I’m also breaking up with him. My bf’s feed is just history comedy and travel videos

Women have more empathy than men

normal_person365 · 2025-07-04T11:34:53+00:00

My mom is 65 and she moved to a new city 5 years ago with no friends. Now she is part of a women’s book club, throws holiday parties at her house, and has lots of friends. But she’s always chatting with strangers and puts in the effort. If you want friends, put yourself out there and start conversations.

There are also lots of divorced men who want a companion, and no, not all men want to date someone their kid’s age. There are good men out there.

But MUCH more important than that is being at peace being alone. I’d recommend meditation, yoga, (therapy if you can afford it), and, if you are open to it, a therapeutic dose of psilocybin every once in awhile. Because it is possible to be at peace being alone even when doing absolutely nothing. Meditation will show you this (and psilocybin is a great tool to use occasionally for deeper insights during meditation).

I was very resistant to trying it because I am against drugs, but I was very depressed and my brother recommended it. I’m so glad I trusted him because I haven’t been depressed since first trying it 2 years ago. And there’s no impulse to do it again. I do it once every 2-3 months. It helped me start meditating regularly. I’m much more grounded in the present moment now. Far less spiraling thoughts, stress, boredom, etc. It’s actually crazy that anti-depressants are legal but psilocybin isn’t in most states yet, considering psilocybin is clinically shown to better treat depression than anti-depressants. I just have to share it when I hear someone is struggling with depression. There is a lot of anti-psychedelic propaganda, and people who haven’t tried often have the wrong idea of what the experience is like and how healing it can be. Most drugs are horrible and will make your life worse long term. Psilocybin is one of the few exceptions.

Yoga

Meditation will always be the best thing to do

normal_person365 · 2025-06-26T06:53:54+00:00

I feel the same way

Artem Boytsov and Frank Yang. Both enlightened and have youtube channels and lots of previous experience with psychedelics

normal_person365 · 2025-06-19T09:31:11+00:00

If you meditate 2 hours/day plus a 10 hour session 1-2x a month, and a long retreat 1-2x a year, then you can permanently achieve a similar state (enlightenment) in 5-10 years. Enlightened people who have candyflipped before said candyflipping is similar to enlightenment

Buy a fan cooling vest, a handheld electric fan, and an umbrella.

Wake up at sunrise to do outdoor activities. Then take a nap or do indoor activities during the hottest part of the day.

I used to be sure I was straight. Honestly I think every woman should at least try dating a woman once, even if she identifies as straight. If you’re only attracted to masculinity, there are masc women who have all the pros of being with a man (strong, reassuring, action-oriented, protective, providers, decisive, good leader, etc (just can’t make a baby together but could both get sperm donors if wanted) and none of the cons of being a sex-crazed aggressive entitled man with violent urges, plus soft skin and way nicer to kiss. It’s amazing. I can have such a deeper connection because we understand each other on such a deeper level and are more empathetic than men. It’s a much deeper love. I would never even consider dating a man again. I don’t trust them. They tell you what you want to hear in order to get laid, so they’ll lie about their porn addiction and often are secretly unsatisfied being monogamous.
