  • Backing this, I was going to write up a separate comment but this is really best left with someone professional. Not just anyone can really help with this. We’d have to know history which may be a few more paragraphs, we’d have to know their environment and livelihood, habits .etc

    And that’s just something that’ll be exhausting to read and risks the OP to be set up to be scrutinzed or judged. Don’t really want that here.


  • Coffee/Monster Java. I really feel like I can’t function without either. I can go without Monster Java for a few days, but the coffee is something I can’t go without in it’s absence.

    Porn. While this has been gradually getting better with not stockpiling tons and tons of images and not stroking off as much. I do spend quite some time looking at porn and falling into old habits from time to time.

    Food Portion Control. I have poor portion control, I really do. I’ve long stopped going to chinese buffets which is a great step in progress. But I’ve substituted it with going to BK time to time and grabbing things that are just as bad if eaten in a day’s worth.


  • From just headphone use? No, disagreed. From loud music? I used it as an example, I don’t listen to loud music constantly as much anymore. You can’t avoid Tinnitus because even if you didn’t listen to loud music all of the time, being surrounded by loud noise in general will eventually get you there. I work in a store where people slam pallets down (for no stupid reason), screech pallet jacks, have noisy pallet jacks in general, ladder carts squeal and screech. We’re not allowed to protect our ears because “CONSOOMER FIRST” priority.

    Plus, where I live, people slam their doors around, they holler, babies and kids throwing fits. Yeah, it doesn’t matter if I listen to loud music or not, I will develop Tinnitus because of the environments. It’s an environment thing.







  • For me in a way, yes. When I used to read books on a regular basis, I found it more easier to digest if I had nobody or nothing around to make noise. I can deal with small noises like random cracks or a pop here and there. Long as it wasn’t amplified or anything. When I listen to things such as music or take in sound in general, my mind goes everywhere and it can’t focus on the pages of a book.

    I always hated it when people try talking to me when louder noise is present and expect me to hear them perfectly. My mind is not focusing on your words, it’s focusing on that obnoxious noise that’s disrupting things.





  • You start grasping for the past again. You may have at one point when you were younger, have gotten tired of people telling stories of their past and how things were in the day. But before you know it, you will do it too. A lot of people already are doing it and they’re in stages of their lives that the older people once were who also did it.

    You feel like the world becomes greyer and greyer when you read the news about some celebrity that played a role you remembered them in be it a show or movie that passed away. This also applies to knowing about the individuals through the cracks that don’t get as much coverage, like pioneers that helped make things you take for granted, knowing of people that took part of something that made you realize that they were what made something work and not who you thought did.

    You get increasingly annoyed at just noise. Dogs barking. Children loudly playing. Babies crying. People shouting. People clumsily doing things that make something break or whatever. You yearn for periods of silence.

    You could become isolated by choice, like caught in a web of indecision as to what hobby you want to enjoy. You’re getting older, not younger, so you feel like you have to try to enjoy what you can before you really can’t anymore.

    And above all else, you grow more and more distant from the connections you once called your best. There will be a point in your life much later on, where you will be in a nursing home or whatever and you may not have a way to stay in touch with your friends. All of you are on a course of this same life and the sad part is all of you are also racing to your ends.


  • Because that’s the truth - there is literally NO recourse or peaceful option left. More people, would rather continue banging their heads against the wall and say “please stop being corrupt” to the ones who’re actively upheaving everyone’s lives and damaging them beyond repair.

    Again, how the fuck can anyone sit there and say “…uh this is okay! Luigi is bad for what he did, but I’m totally okay with getting fucked”.
