I think it's the expectation of success that creates nervousness. If you don't care about succeeding or not, you'll probably have a higher chance of success because of the confidence that comes with it. You tell yourself "It's okay if this girl rejects me."

everything they make now, films, tv shows, documentaries, are catered to make peoples attention span even shorter. notice in old movies scenes lasted for a while, there was facial expressions, subtlety and hints. now theres just mindless chatter, flashing lights, different unrelated scenes, catered to zoomer brains who spend all their time looking at 5 second screens

I think have confidence in eventual success but see it as a process don’t expect success every time

@Weaboo Kempeitai true as a kid in 4th grade i was reading at 3rd year uni student

Just like job interview

level

You won’t land every job or every date

you can rid yourself of this by reading books basically, learning to leave other stuff out of your brain and train yourself to be present in what you do

I am a big fan of running as my form of meditation

My body is occupied and my mind just floats and thinks

4 hour marathons are amazing

@blanc if you really wanna make poor mans norwegian caramels you can buy juniper berries online dry i am sure even on places like amazon

fuguer i also like running

Amazon costs 50$ shipping to Peru

I never ran in my life but I started after I took Adderall lol

yikes alright yeah no

Gotta look in the farmers market

Now I kinda love it

yeah they might have dried berries

Whatever i was just curious

if not get your norwegian friend to send them to you

@fuguer How many drugs do you do? 😂

Just Adderall really

I was pretty unhappy in dead end job after Adderall I more than doubled my salary

Oh, that's the amphetamine? I'm not a drug expert, obviously.

And have a much better outlook

Yes Adderall is a mix of different isomers of amphetamine salts

@Finntronaut its highly addictive dont take it if you dont need it

3/4 dextro and 1/4 levo

Yeah, I'm not interested in drug exploration. I'm happy with my beer and coffee.

I’d argue beer is much worse than Adderall personally

Amphetamines are not neurotoxic. Meth is neurotoxic because it’s double methylated

It works for me because it's a downer.

And therapeutic doses are low

Downer isn’t good. Alcohol is a cns depressant and can make you depressed over long term

I only drink socially maybe once a month

I'm not sure depression is a long-term thing. I get depressed occasionally, but it's just the lack of dopamine that can easily be fixed.

I would avoid drinking every day after work as a way to relax

That leads to pretty bad outcomes

you seek seratonin
