Existential dread

I know i have a lot of habbits my parents have

Some of us tried to rebel and act differently than our parents, but we may be more like one or the other or even both of them than we care to admit.

I think once you can make certain acceptances, you can actually use it to your advantage

Or maybe even a great grandparent

I know I am the way I am and most likely, that isn't going to change barring some radical event. So instead, I try and focus on analyzing why I behave the way I do and how I react and adjust my environment accordingly

I try to do thar

It really helped me deal with crippling insomnia

But i overthink and over worry about everything

<-- I feel you

What if im unable to avoid the sins of my father

That they are inevitable

Add me to the overthibk group as well

I spend more time in my head than I do living in the moment.

Well actually sins of my mother

oh, I hate the sins of my father and I hate more that I started down that path myself without realizing it.

this is going to sound really dumb, but for me, attending Church really helped. I'm REALLY not saying it's for everyone, but making myself beholden to a group greater than myself, even voluntarily, has helped me deal on a day to day

guess the bias. Which site is conservative and which is a liberal based on their headline of the same story?

‘Empire’ cast member alleges he was attacked in Chicago

Just... lol...

You're getting structure in your life, a higher purpose if you will.

Nothing wrong with that

yes, that's it exactly

it doesn't have to be Church

just structure, responsibility, support, etc

I need responsibility in my life

I think everyone does

But only as much as they can handle; maybe a tad more for growth. Otherwise you risk breaking them

I went to a private Catholic Church from.1st grade & all through high school. There's nothing wrong with religion IMO since I truly think that most of them are giving people a purpose in life per se. I study Stoicism as a "middle ground" for religion since I too feel like I need a purpose.

I don't think I articulated my thoughts that well there lol

haha no worries

Religion in and of itself isn't bad. Religious extremism is the bad one.

Agreed

That was the ideology that a lot of people hated back in the day

>believing things objectively false isnt bad
Big think. But im too nauseous to get into that debate

Depends on how you view religions.

dumb

lel

Nah it isn't my cup of tea but I respect it

Reminds me of Hogfather: You have to start out learning to believe the little lies...so you can believe the big ones
