@james_xond No. It’s your parent’s responsibility to take care of you.
The belief that you have to take care of your parents actively prevents the building of generational wealth, because money is always being invested backwards instead of forward.
Why do young men watch porn?
Because they’re overstimulated, bored, lonely, and it’s the easiest dopamine hit available. No rejection, no effort, instant gratification.
How to stop:
There’s no easy solution. Even the first use hijacks your dopamine system and rewires your brain to crave more.
The way out: regulate your nervous system and rewire your brain back to baseline.
• Daily walks without headphones
• Meditation (I do 2x30min daily)
• Remove other overstimulation (social media, substances, chaos)
• Tell people about it to kill the shame
It takes time. It took me about 4 months of heavy regulation to rewire and feel good again. But your brain CAN heal, you just have to stop re-damaging it every day.
@SheSoSauve @smithhmackenzie haha really? usually once I start warming up my blood starts flowing and I feel great.
But I totally understand that ugh feeling
@AdamLaneSmith People think it sounds badass to ignore anyone who shows the slightest hint of not giving us what we want but it’s just permission seeking to be fearful and avoidant.
@GiffLasta I’ve had 3 major relationships:
7 years (married)
2 years
3 years (engaged)
And not once have I ever experienced a decline in sex.
What exactly are people doing that’s causing their partner to not want to f*ck them???
@livewithnoregrt Quiet people are insecure.
Not “introverted,” not “shy,” not “quiet”
Insecure.
This isn’t to pass judgment, just to wake people up that they have work to do on themselves.
@Tekeee This is so true. After my first business made even a little bit of money I quit 6 months later.
Even though that business eventually failed, I’m never going back, just building my second business now.
@gregogallagher Turning anything into an ultimate moral act will have negative consequences.
Drinking is fine. Not drinking is fine.
Make decisions for yourself and not based on a rigid moral structure someone imposed on you.
@official_Gegeh I understand the sentiment of posts like this, but I will say it hasn’t been my lived experience.
Connection and chemistry are what really matters. Love is for fairy tales.
@Codie_Sanchez Sometimes taking a step back is he best way to take 10 steps forward.
I burned myself out last year trying to do everything. Eventually I realized I needed to slow down and spend time in solitude.
Now I’m back with a clear head and defined purpose.
