Ways to make yourself feel good

SwillSwill Registered User regular
edited July 2011 in Social Entropy++
Everyone has stress, anxiety, and so forth

lets elaborate on our individual coping mechanisms

pool it all together, swim in it for a while, see what comes out

I just recently made a discovery.

For a while, masturbation was a sad ordeal for me

a personal little death that invaded me the moment i came

dick in hand, sitting at the keyboard, i would feel like a huge piece of shit, the material that i had just used to finish feeling with me self loathing

but then i started looking specifically at porn where the people seem genuinely happy

smiling, giggling, laughing

whether or not i was sexually attracted to the people

them being happy, in conjunction with the neurotransmitters spewing from my head, got my goat good

that is what works for me

what works for you, not just sexually, obviously, but this was my starting point in this thing

    exercise.

    thinking about how human ingenuity is wonderful, and that despite most terrible things in the world there are people working to advance human civilization step by tiny step.

    good diet.

    excercise and diet are prob the best, also just doing shit, even like cooking a nice meal

    also sometimes instead of just bashing yourself about your problems thinking of realistic steps to fix them can put you at ease and put them in perspective, I find.

    Weed. Alcohol. Mushrooms. Maybe stay away from pills, those are scary. Just the other day when I was reading the newspaper some dude from that shitty Showtime show "The Tudors" pretty much pilled himself up and may/may not be dead.

    i think i was mistaking kinks i have

    and the desire to watch those things as opposed to doing them

    in practice, way down with that

    in viewing, i am doubtful they will be able to execute it in a way i'm comfortable with

    am i wrong to think it is a little unrealistic to get in touch with nature/ones physical self in this day and age

    yeah, hiking for a weekend owns, but that isn't really the same as being in a cabin, living and functioning and that is it

    Not sure what you're trying to say, but being able to live self sufficiently in nature for an extended period of time (to me) is probably one of the greatest things any man can accomplish. Especially in this day and age, where it's pretty unbelievably easy to be lazy and develop self loathing from over-reliance on technology.
