Your thoughts on dopamine fasting/abstaining from internet
prove usefull? I know there was a really long thread of an anon that did a 7day dopamine fast. Does anyone have it?
Clearly did nothing considering his first response was to immediately go on IST and sperg out about it
How would you say your ability to focus is?
Not bad because I enjoy my job
pseudoscience at best, just like no fap
nofap works, you're a shill.
No no porn works. Nofap is a gnomish trick.

>doing math
what did they mean by this
i like math but my math classes weren't exactly life changing
You haven't ascended into the maths realm? What am I saying, or course you haven't
>math
If you are not a math major you probably just took the standard calculus/lin alg stuff. That shit is not math, it is pattern recognition and memorizing algorithms. Doing real math is discovering things and proving theorems, which is one of the greatest things I've ever experienced, especially on adderall.
Should I start by taking analysis? My school has a decent program
>Should I start doing more math?
The answer to that is always yes, anon. Except for probability theory and statistics. Fuck that shit.
If you don't have to take it, you should audit or sit in on it.
If you can do more than basic addition and subtraction in your head you already have an advantage over the average person. If you can do more than multiplication and division in your head you are practically a wizard. You have no idea how mathematically incapable the average person is and how much harder your life would be if you were like them.

All you have to do is ask yourself why there arent any studies done on abstaining from social media/internet. And why all of the people that are debunking it are garden gnomes. npdsn2Then you'll know if it does anything.
Dopamine-deficency is a real thing and if you are reading this you probably suffer from it. How to fix?

The rabbit hole is deep brother, all info available on the internet, but sometimes you have to think a bit on your own
>>set up goals and achive them
What are yours?
Everything from smaller goals to bigger. Like beating new push up PR or beating my old running time PR. But also getting out of my comfort zone, saving money, manage my job, stay sober, flirting with woman, not be a pussy if someone try to punk me, self-improvement etc.
Long term goal or dream is to save enough money to buy fertile land where the sun shines most of the year, stuff is cheap and people are friendly. There I will build a resident and start growing stuff and have animals. The goal is to be as selfsuficient as possible, but some things I would most likely have to buy or trade for.
Anyways, it's more if a dream rather than a goal. What are yours?
Beautiful
checked.
im finding worthy goals for myself. Not being a pussy is a big one. And I've made big progress there. Having a hard time figuring out how to have something that drives me. Your goal is nice, but to me everything just seems so bland.
I suspect the dopamine garden gnome got to me.
Once you have the problem written down it's halfed solved. The spring is starting now, enjoy it. Take jogs and walks in nature without the smartphone. Also, this is best time to try to hit on females. I dont know why but spring makes women horny/looking for love. Dont ask me why just trust me.
What do YOU mean when you say "not being a pussy"? The only real way is to keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, slowly and step by step. If you are shy or have social anxiety then the best solution is to just expose yourself to those situations. Try as much as you can and dont let it get to you when you fail and try again. Walk up to random females and talk, if someone tries to punk you then just punch them in the face. Dont worry, if he beats you back it dosent hurt until after because of the adrenaline. Getting beat up is no big deal, dont be afraid of this, it is nothing compared to the bad feelings you get when letting someone punk you. Trust me, I know. Start training martial arts, pref muay thai. After a couple of sparring sesh you will be humbled and more confident.
Practice and exposure to those situations. Small steps first. Fake it until you make it. It will be hard, the easy way is to stay in the confort zone, it's only hard because you are getting out of it. Start training muay thai and your confidence will increase. After a couple of months and some sparring sesh you will see your own power and know that most normies dont even know basic selfdefence. Tap into your primal human, it's all there. The bloodthirst, the aggression, the caveman inside you, just tap into him and bring him out. Getting your ass kicked is way better than the bad feelings of letting someone punk you and make you a bitch. Getting beat up is not even that bad, adrenaline rush is nice feeling and supress pain. You make it worse in your head/imagination than it is in reality.
Sorry to both of you for ESL, I had a couple of beers.
Thanks king
thanks for the words bro. cheers
No problem, king. Skål!
Skål tjommi.
could you guys give me any tips on getting out of your comfort zone and not being scared of confrontation? i want to address these areas of my life but not sure where to begin
>not being scared of confrontation?
you just realize that a part of your soul dies everytime you pussy out and let others walk over you. Its very primal. A mans self confidence is everything. Without it he is a woman.
Everytime im in a fight or flight situation, i just remember how much of a pussy I felt all my life because I backed down.
Eye contact is the start. Avoiding eye contact signals that you're shifty or submissive. Casual, non-confrontational eye contact builds trust.
people telling you about exposure theory re:confrontation aren't doing you a favor. i've known bouncers who've worked for literal years who are still pussies if someone is bigger than them or looks hard. you need to level up yourself and get yourself into sparring MMA a few times a week
then what do you suggest?
>after done with shower turn to coldest water and endure as much as you can
No. Just wash yourself with cold water.
red pill me on cold water
cold water good
I'm sold
It’s free
Warm water makes you soft. Cavemen weren't afraid of a little bit of cold water.
kek
>Dopamine-deficency is a real thing
Yes, it's called Parkinson's disease you credulous dolt.
>nofap, especially porn
>xeno estrogen
bullshit detected.
Incel pseudoscience, and the rest of it is the most generic self help shit ever. get sleep, drink water, exercise, go outside, as if we all don't already fucking know that.
These people who want you to go to the gym and quit jerking off are gayS. It's a literal meme perpetuated by cock lusting turbo queers, who want to get you in a gym muscled up, and sexually frustrated.
dont fucking listen to this homo groomer shit
Avoiding Internet usage (and technology in general) and tasty foods/drinks and sex and even fiction books isn't really part of mainstream self help advice yet.
This here is desinfo, trolling or pure retardnation. Anyone who tells you that fapping to porn on the internet is not bad for you(when fapping minimum a couple of times a week) is either stupid or your enemy and therefor dont listen to them. Dont fap to porn, an nice jog and a cold shower should take care of the urge and give benefits. If you have to fap then try keep it at one time/day every 2-3 times and only to imagination.
Times per 3 week*

>>way less screen time
it will not change a lot but its a good start
lifestyle, running, lifting etc
running no, lifting yes
>>be outside as much as you can
why? meme aswell
, especially to porn
this 10000000%
done with shower turn to coldest water and endure as much as you can
meme
your thought patterns, thought patterns have been proven to increase/decrease test
fix your sleep and your test will be ok. also eat a dozen eggs a day
>>set up goals and achive them
this is important
>>stay away from products with xeno-estrogen/endocrine disrupters as much as possible
almost impossible but you can try
, especially zinc and magnesium, but ashwaganda and cordyceps get mention also
just take vit d with k2 and you are high test
>after done with shower turn to coldest water and endure as much as you can
whole post and opinions discarded
Called catecholamines, these hormones made by your adrenal glands (located just above your kidneys) are released into the body in response to physical or emotional stress. Research the facts behind your beliefs before stating them, please.
just take dexamph and call it a day. no point otherwise. for a real detox I have to innawoods or camping. solo. no human contact, no electronics or even books. only nature.
Someone redpill me on epobis.
Anecdotally speaking it works. You are trying to up-regulate your sensitivity to dopamine and rewards system associations (like posting on this retarded site) so in that sense it works. People who get pedantic about it not really being a fast miss the bigger picture
>Dopamine fasting
Spoken like someone who has only the vaguest ideas about dopamine.
>Ok, bro, so, what you do is you stop passively consuming media in a directionless fugue.
>Instead you engage in purposeful, goal directed, behaviour.
>It's called "dopamine fasting" because you stopped being catatonic and started moving about.
>Trust me, I know what dopamine and fasting both are.
It doesn't matter if it's technically correct. It's the name that stuck. What name would you use? Pleasure fasting? Nobody knows what that is.
>It doesn't matter if it's technically correct.
Except that's literally the only thing that matters, otherwise they would just call it "pleasure fasting" and nobody would take it seriously because that behaviour modification can obviously involve pleasure for reinforcement is obvious even to people taken in by crap like this.
You fell for trendy bullshit that I saw right through from the get go. Just keep going, keep insisting this thing you learned about two weeks ago is indisputably self-evident, I already know what's up.
I'm not sure I understand your argument.
Are you saying that it doesn't work because pleasure is what reinforces behavior?
If so then there are many counter-examples.
Dopamine fasting is basically the same thing as asceticism. And it does work. Just because fasting in a cave in the desert doesn't mean some people don't do it. Sure, you might argue that they are actually enjoying the activity itself. But there is a difference between indulging in pleasures that don't require any kind of willpower or suffering, and pleasure with a longer time horizon that comes from being able to overcome suffering and immediate pleasure and the self esteem that comes along with it.
And it does make you tougher. That's the reason the military trains in shitty conditions, so they can endure the even shittier conditions of actual war and don't completely break down.
So in everyday life, what that might mean is that if you lose your job or your wife leaves you or something, I bet you will not suffer as much as if you were addicted to 10 different things in your everyday life.
I can tell you this: I can't fucking bring myself to do it for longer than a bunch of hours, but even then I feel it could have a massive benefit for me.
I definitely feel better, I just keep coming back
You will gain better self control because 1 you’ll be putting it into practice and 2 you will not be so accustomed to dopamine spikes.
I think a good in between or starting method is to cut coffee, then sugar, then porn.
I noticed I was consooming online content way less impulsively when I went on a 7 day caffeine break two weeks ago. I think caffeine is a pretty major trigger in people's adhd symptoms or whatever; we're generally just overstimulated all the time now. I still want fucking adderall.
the fundamental flaw with this chart is that what it takes to be 'life-changing' is self-reported by the kind of person who still participates in some kind of chan or druggie forum
imagine personally knowing some schizo who lives with their parents tells you that it'll radically improve your life taking this drug, learning math and going on a milk diet. you wouldn't fucking listen to them for a second, but you'd lap it up if they were anonymous and made a stupid infographic
i'm quitting cigarettes for 2 days now and the craving is annoying but bearable. is there anything that could help minimize it?
N-Acetyl Cystein 2 grams + Vitamin C as much as you want will decrease inflammation in the brain and you will feel better.
thanks brah
First week is the toughest, then it gets a lot easier. GL anon, it's definitely worth it
Yesterday I masturbater like 3 times and today I did it again.
I use it as a cope to deal with depression and loneliness.
I think I will have to get an alarm clock and put my smartphone away in the garage when I'm finished with work.
I had removed the wifi card from my laptop and put it in again because I thought I could control myself better, but I will take it out again as obviously nothing changed.
I did only have a single cup of coffee though, and I made it myself using the filter from the coffee maker.
>fentanyl
>not life changing
George Floyd says otherwise
ty
>F-Phenibut
The goat. Truly life changing. Would take it every day if it wouldn't (supposedly) fuck me up.
you're abusing a benzo, it's absolutely not good in the long term
>t. have had phenibut since 2016, only take it maybe once every two weeks now and in low doses around .5g
It used to be awesome to take like 1.5g of it and go to bars and barely drink but you feel like shit the day after, basically feels like an mdma hangover
I would've never gotten laid if not for phenibut though
I've been taking it twice per week for 3 years now. Same dose (0,5 g for F-Phenibut, 1,5 g for Phenibut HCl) every time. No compulsive redosing, no potency reduction, no hangovers. Once or twice per year I cut it out for 2-4 weeks with no biggie. Pheni is harmless if taken twice per week and no one can tell me otherwise.
