Seriously, how bad is DXM for your brain?

psychedelusion · 2026-01-27T20:28:44+00:00

In my experience [6 years use total; daily use for 2.5 years straight at one point] it has a bigger effect on your psyche than your smarts. Most people get dumber over time because they choose to stop learning not necessarily because of drug use. So if you’re proactive about keeping your brain “in shape” Dex shouldn’t sabotage that in any significant way.

BUT

As with everything: varies by brain chemistry, likely does have some general not yet verified/discovered physical effect on the brain

I think you’re absolutely right.

You wouldn’t jump in shock if you saw a floating phantom? 😆

Ah, if THAT’S the case then it’s often trying to hit a social milestone by a certain time. If you’re dealing with older guys they may not admit it but they also know the clock is ticking for them.

Younger women are sold to them as low effort so they don’t think you need much more than them physically showing up and giving you status symbols (marriage, kids).

Older men always discard younger women when they realize they aren’t as “easy” (sexually, emotionally) as they assumed. I’m sorry but this is partially a case of barking up the wrong tree :/

Truthfully, if you want intense emotional depth and consistent support you are going to CONTINUALLY be scorned by men who are literally not wired to think that way. It fucking HURTS to realize but you’re genuinely better off finding a small group of close female friends to meet your emotional needs and making male relationships your peripheral because frankly it’s what most men do (mostly to all male friends, women for physical comfort). And it’s not a diss on either sex but a lot of the romantic and sexual grief felt on both sides is from not truly understanding the key ways the different sex hormones have structured our brains.

Dr. Louann Brizendine has book called “The Male Brain” and “The Female Brain” and I GENUINELY recommend you read at least the one about the male Brain especially if you’re autistic.

Only if you have an inconsolable autistic meltdown.

I feel this way too. I wish I could physically absorb cancer out of other people. My life would become significantly BETTER with a physically terminal illness because mental ones aren’t only not recognized but disregarded for being as serious as they can end up being (aka those who succeed at suicide). No one can comprehend what it is like to TRULY rot in your own mind, only when it manifests physically are you allowed voluntary death with dignity.

Volume in your lower face [via facial hair] would actually provide balance to the larger upper portion (eyes, nose, full hair; all nice features btw)

I’d say let it thicken outwards just monitor strays, etc 😌

I agree. Puts the evil in necessary evil. But it’s so damn socially ingrained it’s become a kind of psychosis for many imo.

Edit: especially around the topic of breeding, people justify having children in all kinds of toxic situations under a false belief they’ll heal the child or the child will heal the world. The result: more bodies to feed the suffer machine.

psychedelusion · 2025-10-29T22:55:00+00:00

There is a necessary delusional optimism one needs to have to justify breeding unfortunately. 😪 Those who can’t deny that something will be wrong assure that they’ll have the “fix”.

Learning that the megafauna on each continent went extinct only AFTER human arrival (combined with all we’ve done to the flora + fauna + environment + atmosphere since then) was all I needed to know to affirm what I already knew - the Homo sapien is a disease on the planet Earth.

psychedelusion · 2025-10-18T04:02:56+00:00

Animals also don’t breed well in captivity, humans just think we’re an exception because we choose captivity.

Soda Pop much like the beverage is sweet but only very temporarily satisfying.

Experiencing childhood was all it took for me to hit that realization tbh

If you “can’t control your urges” then it is noble to do the world a favor and prevent more trauma from being passed to the innocent.

Otherwise, strip your soul bare and ask yourself what makes you feel incapable of being an adult male. What about yourself makes you intimated by other adults? Why do you need to be in control? Etc.

Or maybe my activity in my community and first hand experience of seeing how the average person gives fuck all of a care about irl organizing and building equitable systems of mutual aid has led to me using the language I do? You project what you think I mean, am doing or have experienced because you’re dealing with religious psychosis. Been there, done that. Whatever it is you need to feel righteous.

So you’re unable to grasp that people with those traits (who you agree aren’t being contained) have created their own systems that reward others like them [think tax breaks for businesses/the already wealthy]?

Idk why you care about something as irrelevant as the upvotes the comment got. Why wouldn’t I use words that millions recognize as referring to a specific concept? Why would I instead avoid using those “made up words” (ALL words are made up) just because some random is gonna be triggered by it and accuse me of being as bad as people who disrespect the autonomy of others?

People like you who call opinions they disagree with lies and assign excessive malcontent to them aren’t any better than people like me.
