@banshee925 because I am a man that does not fall into the typical masculine macho type. I’m ridiculed from the way I dress, my interest or better defined as lack of interest in the typical male things. I’ve been told on a number of occasions that I’m too feminine. But yet and still I strive to stay true to myself. Thank you 🙏🏾
Well that's dumb. Personal opinion? I think it's cool that you're comfortable and embrace a.) wearing thongs and b.) whatever you wanna wear even if it is seen as "feminine". Also, your interests are your own. There are things I'm into that aren't "feminine" and things I am into that are traditionally seen that way, but which I think is utterly silly considering they are unisex activities.
I'd rather have feminine, true to oneself and some empathy and compassion than falling in that trap of assuming that because a person is "macho" they can't be any of the aforementioned things.
Gender stereotypes are the worst.2 -

I don't think that would work for myself (or anyone who has long-term depression/anxiety disorders). We already suffer from a surprising lack of dopamine as is. Would probably be a one way ticket to a worse depressive episode.. or worse things. Hard pass.

idk if too personal but u mentioned quitting drinking and idk how much u were drinking but going sober is really *kitten* hard bc u have to live with lower dopamine levels until your brain kinda rewires itself back before u were abusing which can take a hella long time
u could just be social drinker cutting back, if so ignore me pls
anyways that dopamine fast *kitten* is based on addiction recovery but really wrongheaded way of applying it bc it takes years to get those dopamine receptors to normal levels after abuse, not some bs “detox period” of a week or whatever jmo
Was just something I read in passing - It could be total bs I know - but found it kind of interesting is all -

@CanesGalactica thank you so much. That makes me feel good about me

I have not actually, and well I understand the premise... I believe the real trick would simply be to find other ways to trigger a dopamine response, healthier ways.
In relation to alcohol, I've read before the reason why we turn to alcohol is simply because it quiets the mind...
This doesn't necessarily sound like a craving for dopamine, but it's quite possible that a quieted mind can trigger dopamine...2 -
My gf's phone got stolen it's and somehow my fault because I didn't do the dishes. Why did I think that dating women was a good idea?7

Sure. I'm more familiar with Nitrous Oxide, but it's probably something I'm not aware of. I'm not omnipotent, by any means.
Wait, you mean do it? As in Whip-its? I'm not sure if you had or not.

1) I forgot to do the dishes once and it ruined an entire village and 2) because they're great (much like cats, but different in some important ways)2 -
Every time I see this thread pop up in Fun 'n Games I read it first as "Have YOU ever crapped on the person above you?" and it leads me down this whole mental-thread about not ONLY being polite, but also gravity0 -

Mustering up the energy to fix my hair so tomorrow I can go to Costco to have my pic taken for my membership. Well, that & starvation... I'm plumb outta food... 1 can o' sardines will have to do today... I've no leftover energy to drive to the store. Exhaustion vs hunger... the former wins again.
