I'm trying to be a more positive person, I've noticed I've became really angry and venomous with almost every subject these past few years. Are there any health benefits to improving your mental outlook on things?
Are there any health effects from constant negativity?
Less cortisol and higher testosterone.
So, yeah, it basically helps with everything.
You could look at it the other way: if you had higher test and lower cortisol, you'd be happier.
Dimb nugger info graph saves ugly thoughts. Thinkin bout your mom doesnt stress me out, but its an ugly thought.
stress causes high blood pressure
high blood pressure causes a bunch of other shit
>Resting b***h face gave me the chud face lines
I found it beneficial to stop engaging with shit that makes you angry all the time. curating your media intake to shit that won't raise your blood pressure goes a long way
Reducing your media consumption and screen time as much as possible is a very good lifestyle choice.
Hysterical media cycles have gotten more intense and rapid and people have correspondingly gotten more stressed, angry, hysterical, pessimistic and negative. Look at how batshit crazy things have gotten especially with Trump, COVID, BLM, Ukraine etc. People are either in the peak of an outrage cycle or waiting for the next thing. But the major thing to note is that all this anger does not better their lives or their communities it’s just impotent rage that siphons time and energy from more positive things like being with your family, exercising, enjoying hobbies, giving back etc.
Everyone should make a point of disconnecting more. Especially if your off screen time is boring because this is an indication that you need less distractions and more devotion to IRL.
Yea ragebait content has gotten so huge it's really a shame how often people engage with this stuff
you glow when you let go of negative emotion and live pure heartedly
its a kids book but yes it has some actual basis
if you're ugly and also an butthole people will hate you but if you're ugly and a nice person people will treat you a million times better
Nah don't act to positive around people. They will attempt to take advantage of you.
its more of a general mindset thing
That's something that women say when they are uncomfortable or want to be entertained.
your negativity is bringing me down bro
You can spot a bad person from their stare. It's the thousand wiener stare for bawds and psychopath stare for guys. They will have those soulless reptile looking eyes.
fricking manson lamps
>psychopath stare for guys
how do i get rid of this
try having a resting happy face 🙂
In middle school I tried raising my eyebrows, and I found it worked surprisingly well.
In choir, our music teacher had us raise our eyebrows because they are connected to the upper-inner mouth muscles, and raising them allow for a more pronounced sounding of vowels. I noticed that I was always put in a decent mood whenever doing this so whenever I had a negative thought I would raise my eyebrows and I would immediately feel better. Raised eyebrows are associated with facial expressions like surprise and interest, things that increase productive hormones, so it's it's essentially tricking your brain into putting you into a more agreeable mood, at least that's how it was for me.
I also tried just forcing a bit of laughter/chuckle, even if nothing was funny. It helped alot to just put me in a good mood because again, those expressions are things your brain associates with positivity. Eventually I lost my "soulless stare" which alot of normies really broke my heart over constantly bringing up to me, but I was able to fix it by basically tricking myself. It might work for you to if you're willing to try it.
I use this method too. I don’t have psycho face, but I have intense angry face. I am also naturally a disagreeable person and have struggled with that for years. I’ve begun just analyzing the absurdity of everything around me and I find myself laughing all the time. People probably think I’m crazy when they see me just burst out laughing at things, for example;
>went for run on trail
>finish run
>walking through woods
>college teens in yoga pants and belly shirts go walking by
>listening to edm on their phone speaker
>burst out chuckling at the absurdity
“let’s go for a walk through the woods and look at nature”
>dress like prostitutes and play edm on your shitty phone speaker
I find myself often laughing at people and they know I’m laughing at them.
Never noticed this but that's a cool tip. Makes sense why a lot of metal vocalists have a really moronic singing face but its practical, plus a lot of those guys are happy campers irl.
Well I can tell you my sister is a b***h, my older brother is depressed all the time, and my younger brother is always laughing and joking (as am I).
My sister looks fat and older than she is, my older brother started balding at like 23, and my younger brother and I both look really good with a full head of hair.
So I’m going to guess yes. Being happy and positive makes a difference. It’s how Mexicans cope with overwhelming poverty and having 20 kids.
>younger brother has more hair than older brother
revelatory
When the older brother loses his hair at 23 and the younger is still full head of hair at almost 40, yes
>a-achshually being a happy fat israelite is more attractive than being an unhappy white girl
No roald dahl, now get in the oven
OP this is called just world theory, an idea proposed by easy mode Black folk to make them feel better about their inner selves. It’s just narcissism, only material things matter.
you sound like a pleasant person
You sound like someone who isn’t pushed
pushed to do what? I think my discipline is pretty good
Pushed by circumstances, people, whatever. You would know what I mean if you had some problems in your life.
Sounds like you're just being purposefully vague, I've overcome plenty of adversity in my life
It isn’t adversity if it is overcomeable, easy moder
Alright man you have yourself a good day
Stress = cortisol + high blood pressure
It also has psychological rammifcations that will further affect your physical and psychological well being, you sound like me and 75% of this site of being full of piss and vinagre. You'll become mired in your own misery and
>stop wanting to work out 'cause what's the point?
>why go out? everyone hates you and you hate them
>why not stuff yourself with slop?
>why not get zonked every night?
And by the time you're done you're a fricking redditor, even if you use spite to fuel yourself eventually it'll burn you out, you need a carrot aswell as a stick, having somthing to work towards because you love it makes the pain bearable instead of endurable, find love, for family, or a partner, or god(this didnt work for me I just realised how evil we all are as mortals, but it works for others), for a community or even just life itself. You'll want to live the best possible life that way, physically and mentally, also you'll likely avoid sugar, glyphosate, microplastics and vegging out on the couch.
wasted
It’s true
Go do your tough mudder and wish you were the special forces zogbot you pretend you could be
awful touchy today aren't we
>seething cubicle dweller trying to play it cool
hope you have a nice night anon
No you don’t.
Quit being a lying homosexual
yes. being a good person actually improves your facial structure / physiognomy. IST wants you to think it’s "genetic” but it’s actually epigenetic. even balding is caused by increased tension in the scalp muscles.
If you imagine everyone as an AI, your life will skyrocket in quality fast
dubs and everything is going to work out by itself
>get ONE (1) life
>choose to be negative all the time
>can't undo the past and spend those years being positive instead
Yes. There are immeasurable physical and mental health benefits to adopting a more positive mindset. Try to stay active and just focus on the positives, do what you enjoy, don't stress over what you can't fix etc. etc. Most of it is really just common sense, but feel free to read a self help book if it'll steer you in the right direction. How to Win Friends and Influence people is a good start, if not for the advice on getting along with people, then definitely because the way it is written is just so positive it is bound to rub off on you in the same way.
Find Jesus and accept Him into your life.
doesnt quite work for everyone
>try to lose weight
>realise l'm 5'6 and gorge on fast food
>try to quit smoking
>remember I'm 5'6 and chainsmoke 10 super kings
>think I should try and speak to people and coworkers
>remember I'm 5'6 and go eat alone in the park
>think of going to the gym today
>remember I'm 5'6 and even if I do lift no one cares because I'm the height of a 14 year old girl
Height literally only matters because it makes you more confident. Not saying this is easy to achieve but a confident sociable 5'6 guy will mog a shy 6'3 autist
Why does height make you more confident then genius?
No, it won’t. The 6’3 guy can just exist and good things will happen to him. He will get the respect of his peers, people will want to be friends with him, and women will actually be interested in him. The manlet is left to overcompensate, waste all of that time and effort for nothing
>The 6’3 guy can just exist and good things will happen to him.
I'm 6'4 and i guarantee you it doesn't work that way
Sure, you’re 6’4 everyone believes you lol
here's my ID, I was hunched a bit
Anon do they measure you? They just ask you your height around here
They measure height but you can just tell them your weight
I've gotten ids in arizona, maryland, and kansas and have never been married (pls don't tell them i'm only 6'1.5 and not 6'2
*measured*
Sry phone postinf between sets at the y
I was measure for my height at my local DMV in Illinois but I got this ID issued in 2020. Idk if it has changed since
>Have to try a little harder.
>Don't try.
>Complain.
Nothing will change the fact he’s 5’6, and in the end of that day height trumps any effort manlets make. Women want tall men, not little boys
