How the hell is he being sensitive?
Well awkwardness doesn't just spontaneously pop into existence, it has to be created by a certain perception. I'm just busting his balls, it's not that important really.

Oh
Nope still nothing
At least it wasn't the generic "your art is nice" comment.
It's not bad but I've never seen the big appeal of the graffiti style.
Ahh the point was at least you weren't just saying something about my art, but there you went. . .
this is one of the most awkward online exchanges i've ever seen
Really? Because it wasn't for me. Don't be so sensitive.

Damn. I guess I can try that.
Remember, trying isn't enough. If you want it to have an impact you have to actually do it. Just know that it takes time to get used to. Don't expect to enter a true state of focused attention the first time you meditate. Or the second time, third , etc. In fact, what you should do is not worry about it at all. Just focus. Thoughts and emotions will arise, just let them. They will pass, and then some others will arise. Just let them as well. Eventually the 'noise' will dissipate. Don't worry about when, just know the truth that it will so long as you remain focused and keep practicing.

I don't, but at the same time I don't want to be this overemotional wreck.
Like I've said. Repetition.
No one masters anything with a single thought or a single experience. You have to repeat the thought, the experience, again and again.
Have you ever considered meditation? I mean true meditation, as in, clearing the mind of all thought and emotion and achieving true focused attention.
Not really because its too damn noisy here where I live. I'd have to go up north to the mountains and hills to basically hike to escape from any noise.
Noise just makes for more vigorous practice. When you meditate effectively the noise is meaningless because it never enters your attention (unless it is the noise that you are focused on). In fact, some noise can help augment the experience, as it can be something to focus on rather than thoughts and emotions. I remember hearing a story, in a book by Chuck Norris actually, about a monk that would meditate to the Bee Gees because it made the practice more effective, and it showed just how much he had mastered it.

Change if being you hurts you enough to be someone else. You can't just pretend to be someone else, you must change yourself for it to work.
One of the hardest things you can do, I think, but it would be worth the payout.
I can never pretend. Its hard for me to be fake, and I don't like fake people.
She's not telling you to pretend, she's indicating that you should legitimately and honestly change if you're suffering more as you are now.
I feel like that's really hard to do though. I can't just flip a switch and become a total savage.
Why would you want to become one in the first place?

Hot af, can't sleep. Waiting for dph to kick in.
that sucks, I've been trying to stop my dph use.
I only take one a night. I'd rather not have to take any but insomnia is a part of my healing crisis.

There's no such thing as karma bro. Sandtrap's life to date has made that abundantly clear. Don't behave outside your nature just because you're expecting a reward for it fam.
Karma is essentially consequence. Action and reaction. It's not some mystical entity that inflicts divine justice or anything.

I don't think I could just do that without being myself.
smh, you're accepting yourself as inherently flawed, and that is absolutely foolish. The whole point of changing your mindset is becoming a new person.
If you're afraid to become a new person then that's it, you're done. Have fun living the rest of your life being flawed. I'm sure it will be fun, right?
How is one not flawed?
No one is perfect but you seem to think that the way you are is your inherent nature. Your nature is the result of your experience. But you can make a conscious effort to change and influence what you experience and how you perceive that experience. If you've got the time and are truly interested then maybe John Bergman can explain better than I can:

Well, I can try that, but I don't think its a guarantee.
You can try and you can fail. The point is that you have to give up the notion of try. You have to actually do it. You are set up to fail from the start the instant you abide by the thought, "I'll try." Just save yourself the effort then. If you don't have the resolve to abide by the thought, "I WILL" then don't even bother trying. This isn't some simple task you'd be undertaking, this is changing your mindset we're talking about here. Something that requires a significant amount of effort and resolve.

Understanding what should be done intellectually isn't enough. You have to actually abide.
Seriously, like The Dude says, "abide."
You keep abiding and it will condition you into a different mindset. The instant you start to deviant from the path, mindfulness should steer you right back into place because mindfulness should always be practiced. Always.
It's fairly obvious that you have an abundant lack of understand of what exactly is happening to you, why it is happening to you, and what the true consequences are. Knowing it, understanding it gives you the power to change it or even avoid it altogether, but as you seem to think, "I just can't," it is inevitable that you can't.
Until you accept that you can, abide by that thought, and pay attention to what is happening to you from an unbiased perspective, then you can not, and nor will you ever be able to overcome.

tbh convincing transgenders are probably still going to use the bathroom of the gender they correspond to because everyone would be none the wiser, and criminals are probably going to continue being criminals.

Really? Didn't think anyone on here knew me that well.
Who are you
THANKS.
Well I mean if I knew what some of your past usernames were then I might have something to go on
Click the down arrow on someone's nameplate and you can see their original username. Do you even sep7?

Umm no sorry I've known plenty to work (some even two jobs) and go to school at the same time. and everyone on this forum should know that i'm not that type of person
sorry, biggest dumbass on the forum, but you're wrong again
I really shouldn't know because I don't pay that much attention to you, and I would assume that there's a fair few others that don't as well. We aren't psychic, we actually have to care about something and be mindful of it to make an accurate deduction. Otherwise, if you state something people on here are going to take it at face value. And what's with the petty insults? Trying to get under my skin or just feeding the ego? I really didn't say anything to be that phased over, and you don't strike me as the type to do it just for the sake of entertainment. .

if you meant this summer then say this summer
it should've been the most obvious thing in the world that i wouldn't have the time or energy to even attempt getting a job during the fucking school semester, on top of everything else in my life, include driving lessons
a monkey could've gleaned that
Umm no sorry I've known plenty to work (some even two jobs) and go to school at the same time. This argument just doesn't hold because we just aren't invested enough in understanding you to the point where we can gather whether or not you might want to find a job while going to school. It's really not that obvious. You made a simple mistake not conveying your point well enough, just own up to it. Or don't. . . it's w/e I guess.

Reading these comments, I'm really surprised this is what the situation in the US is like.
The American dream is for foreigners only. Us nationals know what it's really like living here.

Almost every time I go to the theater here, someone has a cellphone mishap. Just went yesterday to see Captain America, and sure enough the guy right next to me butt dialed. When I went to see The Force Awakens, someone actually answered a call, smfh.

I guess I'm not really that healthy, no. It's been even worse for the last couple weeks as I often don't feel like cooking a proper meal. Kind of a downward spiral I guess.
Well if you think you're unhealthy then that's one of the first things that you should get to the bottom of because it very likely has something to do with the mental issues you're having, especially if there was no significant external source to condition them. Like, in my case, I have a condition that causes me to be malnourished and releases high levels of toxins into my bloodstream which, in turn, reach my brain and give me brain-fog, anxiety, irritability etc.

Mind and body are connected interdependently. When one is out of whack, so is the other, in some or even many forms.
Are you healthy physically? I mean REALLY. . are you? Is your lifestyle healthy? Get to the bottom of it. No one, not even a psychiatrist/psychologist can analyze your life as well as you can.
Start paying better attention to what you're doing, how you're living, and even what you're putting into your body (both food and medicine) and be mindful of the consequences. Pay attention to the mechanics of your every day life.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't try to seek help from a professional, there's nothing wrong with giving it a shot. Just realize that you can't change unless you yourself are truly aware of what is happening to you, not someone else, even if they have a degree.
And ffs DON'T give in to the thought,"I am just broken, or I am just not right. I just have this condition so I will always be this way" That shit is a trap. It will take hold of you and then you will never escape the metaphorical pit you're digging yourself into.
You need to abide by the thought, "this rut is impermanent, I WILL overcome this. I AM overcoming this." And don't ever stop abiding by it.
No one ever attains a new mindset without repetition. Don't just wonder why you're feeling a certain way. Get to the bottom of it.

Sometimes I type out something and I'm like, "naaaaah that's stupid," and then I don't post.
