Any other semi-made it marines gone/going through what I'm going through? Before, I was focused on making it, but now I'm realizing I just wasted my life trying to make it and have lost my true friends because of it. Life really is about the experiences. I haven't made it but currently stuck in the purgatory before it.

Any other marines know these feels?

>> No.23856649

this is why you must take the time to become the person you want to be now before you have made it. just having funds wont change your life to the better unless you develop yourself as well. you must try to develop your relationships, your character as well as your spirit if youre going to manage your new powers

>> No.23856726

>>23856649
That's the problem fren. I'm totally behind on the relationships and it feels hopeless due to my social autism.
Part of developing my character and spirit has also led me to believe we live in a complete lie. Society has humans living on a complete different wave length than where we're supposed to be.
The combination of these two factors has me contemplating dropping everything and disconnecting from society completely. If I were to see a homeless person face to face, I'd start crying right now knowing the pains they've probably gone through.

Crypto isn’t everything dawg. I bought link in 2017 and also in purg phase with 50k stack (goal is 3M+). I did lose some people along the way but I met my girl who I got married to in Jan and baby on the way this coming Feb. I love keeping up with link but I’m not going to do anything w my stack so I don’t spend a ton of time on it anymore. If link is going to make it it will make it if not it won’t right. Forget crypto if you’re in a similar place, link has given us that luxury that we don’t have to day trade any more. Get back into the relationships you had or go build new ones

Don't listen to people about giving your money away - but don't focus on it. 'Happiness is the worthy progression to a worthy ideal or goal'.

Get your mind on a goal - do some introspection and look deep - do you want to see animals back on this planet? Do you want to take down the banking Jew? Do you want to teach people that focusing solely on money is wrong because of your experience?

Money DOES make you happier, empirically, but not in isolation. Do not blow it, but at 26 you can always take a minicule amount of money - say 10 grand - and go to hostel after hostel when the world opens up.

YES, you will be autistic, YES the first few weeks might seem like hell and you might feel isolated and alone. After a few weeks however you will begin to adapt, take an old phone and dont use it as an escape - talk to different cultures (the austim of what you say can be lost on people from europe as they cant understand many words any way) it's just about being there. you will get through it anon but its something you actively have to do. Sitting at home will never make you more social. good luck friend. I'm an ultra poorfag who managed to scrape up 10k link but travelled when I was young an poor. I'm 28 and I feel like I'm just getting started - get your mindset right anon. People wont like it, they want to see you poor- if you're not they want to see you unhappy - it justifies all their bad choices. After that they will try and make you feel dumb, old or ugly.

I get where you're coming from anon. I know those feels. That being said on a surface level I've always been well integrated. Surprisingly getting into crypto and link and distancing myself from the normal life ended up being a revelation. You should take pride from living a different kind of life and for having whatever qualities you think cause you not fitting in. Trying hard enough will probably get you women and friends, but I think that's the surface level stuff I was experiencing before isolating myself. At the core of your soul you are complete. From the perspective of feeling like you need something it might seem counterintuitive, but needing nothing attracts everything. Feeling like you need a gf or a friend will only attract one that also feels like they need someone, then it's just two needy people endlessly needing more and more shit that will never be the solutions to the kind of feels you too were describing.

Your sentences end in absolutes - you didn't say 'I believe people communicate in vibrations' - which is an opinion and comes across better socially. I think you may have an ego problem related to how smart you think you are, whether you are or not, it doesn't matter. You have to begin to connect with humans again in order to empathise with them. The biggest redpill is although you think you're doing yourself a favor by 'bowing out' you're not. No matter if you have a measly ten million to ((them)) you are weak. We are social creatures and you have been separated from relationship values.

I'm socially awkward but with practice I've been able to make some moderate progress in resonating with normies. I think the main problem for me was that I was too analytical in my conversations. Normies in most cases don't really care what you say as long as you say it in a cool way. Timing (responding on time) is more important than saying the correct thing.

Something else that's important is responsibility. If you take up responsibility in social situations (taking the initiative, defending the group, etc) people will like you more that way as well

almost everywhere in the first world 2008 was a major shock that set the lives of everyone back
if you graduated back then at 21, you are 33 today and still stuck in perpetual limbo with previous adult life unaffordable

Another solution is not taking what you say and what other people think of you so seriously.

It's corny but another way to put it is that you need to have high self-esteem. Don't care so much about what other people think of you, doing so is often counterproductive as they are just trying to make themselves feel better at the cost of you

Two things bro.... start doing TRE. Start slow. Only 5 mins or so a day. Shit just flushes our trauma from your body.

Also... if you really want to go down the path of enlightenment. Get into urine therapy. Start drinking a sip of your kid stream morning urine.

What is stopping you from facebook messaging one of your old friends, telling them that it's been a while and that you'd like to catch up sometime?

Lol, it's interesting and I actually did just see if there are any practitioners in my area, but physical therapy doesn't resolve the problem of being forever trapped in eternal reincarnation

You don’t need a practitioner dude. Just start doing what these chicks are doing

Also... if you are about spirituality and enlightenment. Please start doing urine therapy. I can’t explain it to you but once you start doing it you’ll understand. And on top of the spiritual part of drinking your urine it heals anything as well. Urine is not waste like we’ve been lied too... it’s ultra filtered blood plasma.

Start researching. Look up Monica schutt on YouTube. Look up urine therapy testimonials. You don’t need to go to Nepal and be with a bunch of monks. Just gotta drink your own nectar :) I do it everyday

Me being thousands of mile away from all my old friends. I'm stuck with making new friends with people I can't communicate with lol. And even if I could, my autism would be even more evident.

Don’t laugh. Got rid of a debilitating constipation, Candida infection and the associated food allergies that came with it in virtually a week.

Few months back I had a bad tooth infection, loose tooth, awful pain, swollen cheek enflamed gums that would bleed, gingivitis. Undoubtedly needed a root canal. All I did was hold my urine in my mouth 15 mins at a time 3 times a day and my mouth was fine in a week. After each time I did it the pain kept getting less and less. Gums healed. Tooth formed up no more bleeding. So if you ever have any dental issues that’s what will fix them for free

Normal fags cannot afford the experiences that living is really about. That is why you worked so hard. Do not be sad, this is your time of celebration. Your world right now is what ever the fuck you want it to be. Pick yourself up.

>Oh also “friendships” are overrated.
Yes, but good acquaintance are brutally underrated. You should be trying to get to know useful people around you, and doing favours for them.
