If you look at all the disorders, from narcissism and anti-social disorder to AVP and social anxiety, I'm sure most people would have some of those traits. In some echelons of society it would even be beneficial to have some of these disorders (zero empathy, even OCD or paranoia). It's just...

It's driving me nuts. I need privacy at home. I can't stand it that I can't just go to the kitchen and make food for myself without having to meet someone I don't particularly like or care for. I need to work a lot at home, it's the only place I can concentrate. I hate that I isolate myself...

Resistance is trying to fight the current situation. Your mind is in a state of war and a constant source of unhappiness and unease. However, from this unhappiness may also emerge a big thrive to change the situation, so it may be beneficial. Surrender is the state in which you accept the...

There's so many things that could be wrong with our bodies that could possibly influence our minds and discomfort. Wether it's a lack of proper sleep, some food allergy, fatigue, bad matress, some toxin in your home that's making you sick, diabetes, some virus, fungal infection, etc. etc...

With some people I have the feeling they don't really know me at all. But because the relationship has already been spoiled/tainted in a way, it remains on a level of awkwardness/shallowness. They don't know I can be quite a humorous, funny guy fo example when in the right company. But because...

I sometimes feel that although I am 26 years old, I need some sort of re-education course. Proper social behavior, properly taking care of myself and my life. It seems like it's basically stuck at the level of a 16 year old, which incidentally was when my father died (mom died when I was 9)...

I shut myself off from contacts with people a lot. I don't know why I do it, and why it takes me so long to get over myself and take any action or initiative to expose myself to people. Even with replying to mails I wait and I've been avoiding being together in the shared spaces with roommates...

When I get obsessed with working on something, I turn into a crazy scientist. I lock myself in doors for hours. Get really passionate about it. Spending all nighters often. Myl living space turns into a mess. Sometimes such a period lasts for days. I am normally really not in the mood to...

I can tell you that I feel way more sociable and relaxed when I feel energized. Sometimes I feel like $hit in the day, groggy, tired, and when I feel like this often its easier for my mind to wander off in negative directions and dwell in it. I procrastinate and feel depressed and this in turn...

I feel sometimes like I dislike my country. Most of the people, the mentality, the social norms, the language, the way people look at things, even the way people look at you in the street. I don't know, it's all so boorish, blunt and hostile in a way. I feel like I am losing touch with it...

Whenever I dream, usually a lot of faces from my past pop up, old friends from school, old classmates, people long forgotten. And they're all mixed together, during a giant group situation (like a big school trip/holiday or something). This is a recurring dream and I usually feel really...

I'm absolutely bad at organizing my self. Wether it is keeping my room orderly and clean, making goals and appointments and sticking to them, taking care of my finances, etc. I can almost never make a plan and stick to it. Unless it is absolutely Last Moment stuff and I go in a sort of Flight...

I am sitting in the library now, one woman is coughing really loud, and two stressy student girls on their laptops are constantly looking at her in an annoyed manner each time she coughs. Really awkward. I see this sort of thing a lot, and it bothers me. Can the woman help she is coughing? For...

For me I once worked at a sort of retail thing that sells stuff like coffee and snacks in trains. Employees with huge back packs filled with coffee go on trains and then sell it to people on it. I was about 20, completely inexperienced, but I got placed in a pretty high position, like a sort...

I haven't, up to this point. As I'm becoming more aware of the bad habits in my life, and trying to stop them I realised this is probably one of the biggest, without even realising it. I tried many times with those website blocker things. But I realised I am compulsively addicted to it and...

Sorry for those unfamiliar with it. I can certainly recommend reading the books, as they offer profound insights. Anyway, my question: How can you be free of ego, mindtalk, etc. when you inhabit a world full of ego and identification with thought/posession/role? Everyone seems to play...

I'm not judging, I'm just curious why it seems that manga and anime seem to have a big draw amongst SA-people (judging by the many Anime profile pictures) I myself am more into Western comic/animation culture. I've never really understood the appeal of anime apart from the Miyazaki films but am...

I am starting to feel...Good again. I have regained my creativity. I feel like I can draw again without hours of non productivity like before. Hopefully this feeling continues so I can finish my graduation project the way I want to, with not too much stress and anxiety killing my creativity...

For me I guess it's out of the box-thinking. But this is also a handicap of mine, as I have never really formed beliefs that I have embraced as my own as I don't seem to able to make a choice. Settle for a belief so to speak. And I can usually pretty much always understand where people are...

Anyone else experience this?
