  • I was born with a very simple emotional spectrum. I basicly only feel primitive emotions like anger, fear, anxiety, lust, fulfilment and their absence. My serotonin levels are very low and boosting it with meds makes no difference. I hold this as my expertice on the matter. Anger and anxiety rule my reality.

    To the point. Emotions have physical and mental component. One can’t live without the other. Be aware of this and the fact that you can be unwillingly feeding them, with thougts you run in your head.

    To kill an emotion you clear your head till the physical component subsides. After that you need a little mental discipline, not to reignite it. It doesn’t happen in a second, so plenty of time to catch yourself in the act.

    The idea that emotions are energy that needs to be vented is bs.





  • I can’t keep myself as an reference point, since I’m bit abnormal, so I might be wrong, but here are my two sents.

    From people around me, I’ve noticed a commond factor that causes them anxiety.

    Western culture keeps feeding us the idea that a good person is someone who is smart, hard working, successful, wealthy, beautiful and uses his potential to the fullest. We keep feeding this to our children from early on and it really seems to be stuck on peoples heads.

    This manifests in various ways. People just don’t let themselves be what they are and torture themselves constantly for not being enough. People stay in a job they hate, because the pay is good and they have taken a large debt, because they need to have successful peoples stuff. People trade in their family life for work, so they could be respected by people that would sell their grandmothers in a second. etc…

    If more people would just shake off this shit, mix a little “carpe diem” with “don’t give a shit” and focus on people who don’t demand anything from them, maybe they would be happier.
