Anyone else feel like a slave to their bad habits? I have so many great opportunities and all accounts I should feel happy and motivated, but for I just don't. Over the last few years the reward center of my brain has become spoiled with drugs, social media and pornography to the point where even simple tasks now feel meaningless.
How can I reclaim my humanity and escape this vicious cycle of hedonism?
Anyone else feel like a slave to their bad habits...
>Anyone else feel like a slave to their bad habits?
Yes, someone help please
hello
hello fellow dopamine house slave
for me, it's video games, junk food eating disorder and porn addiction.
No. I chose to spend 10 hours today hitting refresh on Yas Forums while picking dried cum out of my belly-button, tomorrow I will chose the same. It's my life and I'm in control
This Buddhist monk is burning alive, you can clearly see he doesn't have the face of someone who is being burned alive, there's a video for it that shows he doesn't move or make a sound.
Why is this important?
This monk showed that you can surpass the human nature of screaming and moving while burning, he surpassed pain, he overcame a habit that is present for as long as our neural systems existed.
Now you ask, is it possible for me to overcome a habit I created over 3/4/5/6/7/10 years ?
The answer is always yes.
of course, but on the other hand is COOOOOM
I honestly not sure whether it's depression or just I feel bored. But yeah, it's a thing. I try to do new things, read something, do a physical exercise or just find some minor distraction (i.e youtube)
>video games, junk food eating disorder
dude wtf those two are so easy to kick wtf just literally grow up kek
I do periodically when it's finals week or whatever, but slide back into it when I have nothing else to do
strong projection
I've a girl who's hotter than that
thats gay bro, let me guess you study IT ?
worse, economics
literally everyone else is a normie
All of those 3 things are fine in moderation, I'm guessing your problem is that you're dependent on them
The solution is something that you'll have to find yourself
Basically, get a life
Not just a social life
A hobby too
sounds rough dude. but really, dont let such pathetic habits like junk food and video games run a train on you, doesnt mean you have to stop, just do it once in a while
t. had the same problem
this is realistic
How do I even get to that point instead of doing one thing productive and giving up directly after?
how old are you ?
Damn that was inspiring, thank you user
I stay at home every night and torture my big boner, thank you very much
19
>this monk was able to stand still for a whole half hour so going 24 hours or longer without sticking your hands down your pants should be easy :^) just b urself
Yeah fuck off with your normie advice. You don't know what it's like to struggle.
On one hand I feel you, but on the other hand that man is literally on fire so I kinda get the point he's making
Even if it's difficult, it's still possible. How will bitching and moaning hopelessly about it help you make your life better?
The habit of hard deep Meditation make brain like this
Good for him, I'm trying to clean the house not burn alive
do you feel sorry for yourself?
you should kill yourself
what do you want out of life ?
>How will bitching and moaning hopelessly about it help you make your life better?
Every (you) helps
What I wish I'd been told at your age is that pretty much any skilled trade will open up a tons of cool work opportunities, and it only takes 8 months to get a certificate.
If you have two brain-cells to rub together go get an EMT license and a car. Even if you just fuck around past that point till you're thirty you're almost guaranteed to be the coolest person in the room and to fuck a lot of chicks because you get to work in an ambulance and wear a sexy uniform.
For me all of the anonymous forum or twitter. Only seeing retarded useless posts wake my brain up with the adrenaline. I can't find normal thing interesting or funny anymore. Porn feels much more healthier for me. It's killing me but can't stop
