America Inc. posted:On a separate note, does anyone here have OCD or ADHD, or just a history of poor impulse control? What do you do to strengthen your cerebral cortex, "thinking slow", or concentration besides medications? I feel like cognitive stuff can also be helped just by taxing the brain in new and different ways every day too. I had a job in which I did some physical work like assembly, some engineering/programming, some IT, and some soft skills stuff like sales, and if I didn't have such a high level of stress at the time it would have been very healthy for me.

I'm sorry fnln. When I told my mom that I was starting therapy earlier this year, I went through some similar stuff with her. And then again when I came out to her against my better judgement. Sometimes it's just about waiting it out until your body and brain feel like it's safe to start experiencing things normally again. I was just totally blank or super hyper for weeks after those times. I played guitar and watched aquarium videos on youtube a lot. Light exercise in nature was helpful. I'm hoping that you have a good 2024, you seem like a smart thoughtful person to me.

IMO, to paraphrase someone else, to work on your limitations with emotional engagement with others you have to: 1. set some of yourself aside 2. want to be in the situation in which the other person is centered 3. not view it as transactional 4. being open and not trying to force things to suit what makes you comfortable Those things are basically completely devalued by our society. I think that most people rightly know on some level that it is uncharted territory for them, and that a lot of the selfishness involved is a defense mechanism against revealing stunted parts of themselves, a part of themselves exposed by a genuine interaction getting hurt, or losing control of their emotions. And fear of rejection, hurting someone by being incapable etc. nice obelisk idiot has issued a correction as of 00:20 on Jan 14, 2024 |

If you like animals and can deal with some gross/sad poo poo, volunteering at an animal shelter might be an idea. There's often a big pool of volunteers, and lots of women 20s-30s who are dying for a guy who can demonstrate some kind of desire to care or nurture.
