  1. My desire to play video games got to that point and now I don’t even want to play them anymore. I guess the desire balloon popped within me…

  2. Even if I would make 100k and it frankly would be more than enough, I'd be dissatisfied cause I know an older classmate who now makes 300k working for apple…

  3. idk all i want is clean housing, healthy food, and no unnecessary problems. couldn’t care about anything else personally.

  4. Is not so easy because maybe you would like 200k to provide for close relatives and future family and pay for personal sessions because 90% or more are here not "just for curiosity" Do you know what I mean?

  5. As soon as I started reaching out socially, practicing my interaction, I stopped having the desire to watch porn, play videos games, even watch youtube. It’s like this behavior, connecting and forming new and fun relationship, is replacing my unconnected isolated behaviors. It’s pretty fun to make people laugh. 😁

  6. I agree.

    The difficulty is to tell ones brain to genuinely be content, and actually have it obey that command.

    It's why neither feeding it its desire, nor not feeding the desire and telling it to like it was so frustrating.

    I argue that there will be people who can make their brains genuinely believe motivational platitudes, and people who cannot.

  7. Is "not thinking about it" the same as contentment? Like kinda knowing I'm underpaid with no pay raise and while im not moping with desire for more it's in the back of my mind that this aint great

  8. I like Dr.K, but alot of his advice is just "power through it" or "Do nothing, want less". I tried these mindsets for a while, they don't seem to work for me. I just feel emptiness and being left behind even more so. I think its time to move on and try something else.

  9. @HealthyGamerGG could you mention in the description which (members only) video a short is from? Then if I think the short relates to me, I will want to watch the entire video

  10. Yeah it's a pain in the ass. I'm content with what I have but I definitely feel worried that I'm always on the edge of being homeless.

    One car wreck or getting sick could derail everything.

  11. Why is this not true for things I want to do that are actually productive? I want to do something 10 hours a day every day, and then it stops

  12. And how can one establish and maintain interval equanimity? Like what are ways we can go about this, steps we can take, things we can do?

  13. This is so true, this quote comes from the Bible. That is why I don't want that to happen to me. Disciipline is the way.
    I'm addicted to Loki, and I exercise discernment, I try not to watch too much, I need to remember I make good use of my relaxation time, which I don't get too much. Plus, we don't want to start an obsession.

  14. Hmm… Is this part of the reason why sitting down and putting my feet up after a long, hard day is SOOO relaxing compared to sitting with my feet up all day?

  15. With money that only starts around 120k a year. It's been shown that before that people really do get happier with each raise. I do think it's easier to be content with what you have when you actually have something, and aren't in constant fear of losing it all.

  16. if you gave me 100k a year I would be content. But I dunno. I don't think my brain is normal. Like I can drink alcohol and play video games and take hydrocodone and whatever. And I don't get addicted. When things start to not be as rewarded I'm like fuck putting in more effort I'm just gonna go play soccer or swim or whatever. go for a walk. Sit in the garden. And I'm not a super disciplined person. I just don't get addicted to things. I wish I could figure out why cause my brother died of addiction and my dad is an alcoholic
