serious question, need serious answers.

You have to go through the bad to get to the good...

You have a bad trip either because you abused the use of the substance OR its something that you have to go through in order to fix things.


What you think something like he is talking about is going to be easY??


no....

[Cloud997]

No respone to my reply??


I guess you havent dabbled in the healing aspects of psilocybin. When are people going to realize that psychedelics like this arent for fun, they are a tool used for self-evaluations and self-exploration....

I agree 100%. It seems that these days of materialism have really given our society a head high, I've learned out of the very few times I've eaten shrooms, that luckily you can be brought down to Earth and realize that you yourself can find the key to your happiness. Honestly!

[sks1]

Depends on what it is.. you will most likely learn to live with it.

[slipknotpsycho]

even if i were to want shrooms, i couldn't get them, nor would i try. i'm really trying to keep the exact circumstances minimal as possible, as a. i really wouldn't want anyone to know these things, it's not the worst thing in the world, but it's something i'm so far from proud of, and b. the circumstances really wouldn't help to answer the question anyways, probably just the opposite, it would probably envoke alot of negative responses and generally turn into some argument, rather then answers.

ok, lets say you think bullying is wrong, and you're really really against it, because you grew up all around it, you grew up through it, you were bullied and you swore you never wanted to become a bully, and you'd rather kill yourself then be a bully, then you realize one day, you've become a bully, and it's already been going on for a looooong time, it's not something that's just going to go away, it's not something you can instantly change and poof everything is ok, the damage is already done, but remember you swore you'd kill yourself before you became that person, and you meant it. what do you do, and what do you call that? i'd call that hating myself because that's all i can think of, like that's the only phrase that describes it i guess does this help anything?

on the god thing, it's dead and gone, believe me nothing is ever going to bring it back, sometimes people just don't believe, and they know they don't believe and they know they are never going to no matter what happens, i'm one of those people, i actually take offense when someone 'god blesses me' when i sneeze, because i feel as if i'm having someone else's religion forced on me, just as i'm sure you'd be pretty offended and/or upset should a satanist force his religion on you, say by stepping up to the little pedestal thingy in the middle of service and start reading from the satanic bible.

I havent experimented with other psychedelics other than mushrooms. In my experience psilocybin is a chemical that short circuits your ego. Now if you have somewhat of a clear concept of what your ego does to you, you will realize that psilocybin can be your best friend in helping you solve internal psychological and emotional problems.

I live in America and i assume most of you do as well. The thing that stands out to me the most is how American culture/society is balls-to-the-wall on inflating your ego. Turn on your boob tube and just think about it. Why is it bent on doing this?? Your ego holds you back from becoming something greater, and with a country like America, they do not want the average person accomplishing this.


Slipknotpsycho - To hate is to separate. If you are truly one with all and see through the illusion of ego, then to hate your neighbor is hating yourself. Rejecting your fellow man is rejecting yourself. Love thy neighbor, and you love yourself.

I dont think its hating your self I think its Fucking Up, there's probably only one thing you can do which is change....it doesnt matter how you do it just change the things you dont like about you......and what the hell did you do in the first place lol

[slipknotpsycho]

unfortunately, that still doesn't solve my problem.
EDIT: ^^^ this comment was to HazardousToking


puffpuffand away, i forgot to make comment on the rest of your advice, i don't want my previous post to seem as if i read your first line and rejected the rest of what you had to say, which i didn't. i read it and am still thinking about it, i'm not sure if that helps me fully, i still would appreciate anyone's input (and i mean actual genuine input, i'm not just going to appreciate anything said, for instance you can say 'stfu you noob' and believe me i won't appreciate it.) but you would be suprised how much your advice fits in my situation...

Nobody really knows why they say "bless you", though there are few common theories. Most of them being religious, but some actually thought the sneeze to be good luck and "bless you" was just a recognition.

Anyway,
I know there must be a lot of information stewing about in your head as I've been in a situation like this before (not too long ago).

I realized I had 3 choices:

A) Kill myself. (I'm not a quitter)

B) Start ignoring it (like I had been) again and follow that lovely path of being dishonest with myself (which brings about a lot more problems for me aside from truly being happy**)

C) Figure out exactly what I hate about myself and fix it.

I literally wrote down everything I was doing lately that I didn't like.
I also wrote down how I could change it, or what I could change it to.

You kind of have to dive into your head and rewire your brain into thinking differently.

It takes time depending on how strict you keep to yourself. You can do it, people do it everyday.

I love self improvement. <3

So what are the base tendencies in yourself that you don't like? Why don't you just change them? As in, once you're aware of them, and notice them coming out in your behavior, compensate for them. Be more flexible in your actions. Maybe even apologize if it comes to it. You don't have to be something you don't want to be, and ultimately you're the only one choosing.

Mushrooms might help you notice some of the problems, but they won't help you solve them. It would be silly to think we can change ourselves without a lot of hard work and a certain amount of self-discovery.

Maybe you should change the way you see certain things. Like God. I'm not one to prescribe religion, but maybe there's something outside of yourself that gives some value to your life.

I'm always touched when people say "god bless you", regardless of my lack of "faith" in their god. I don't believe, and I doubt that they believe that demons may enter my body after sneezing, I think it's just a way of expressing care. How can one be so offended?

it's not the fact that i haven't/won't apologize, it's not the fact that now that i'm aware of it i just stop, it's the mere fact that 'i did it' that makes it so horrible, i guess i'm more looking for a way to cope with what i have already done, but i'm not so sure i can refer back to "remember you swore you'd kill yourself before you became that person, and you meant it." see this is my problem, i swore i never would, but becuase i wasn't 'bullied' anymore, i went blind and forgot 'bullying' exist, thus a sudden realization that i became the 'bully' rather than the 'bullied'

on the religion thing, i won't get offended if some stranger says it, i'll just politely ignore it, depending on the person and the cirumstance i might even fake a 'thank you' but if i know you, as in you're a friend or someone i see often, and it's the first time, i'll politely ask you not to say that to me anymore, most leave it at that, it's a simple request is it not? however if it's done after my request not to do it anymore, i take it offensively, becuase a. i feel as if i'm having a religion forced on me, and b. i already asked you not to do it, so if you do it again, you're more than likely just doing it to piss me off.
