I’m very worried. I don’t know if having self harm scars will affect my standing or qualification.
Desperately seeking advice from my fellow community members. Thank you and please have a nice day today. ❤️
Hello. It seems to be the case (based on what I’ve read and what people have said) that once the true Self is seen, I will not go back to thinking I’m this separate body-mind. I’m wondering if, then, there is anything wrong with using cannabis to help me see this. I seem to see far more clearly when I’m high for some reason, and feel that I’m far more able to go deeper and deeper within. I’m wondering: if I could go all the way and see the Self in its totality, very clearly while I’m high, would my sober self remember and know as well?
I’m not sure if this question makes sense, and there are obviously a lot of assumptions that I hold which could not be true, but as I said I’m basing this idea on what I’ve heard from many others who are permanently abiding in the self and constantly living the direct experience. Thank you.
Long story short, I’ve had my fair share of prostate touching for sexual reasons. Maybe I never noticed, but there’s a lump at the center-left bottom (apex) of my prostate, and I’m way too much of a hypochondriac to have found this lump at 34. I know it’s insanely rare at my age, but the fact that it’s not impossible and is often aggressive for younger men is not helping.
No other symptoms other than some lower abdominal/hip pressure or discomfort but that could be my excessive sitting for work. Had sore legs as long as I can remember but that’s usually a muscle tension thing, I think.
I know it could be a dozen other things, but I just wanted to vent and see if anyone else has felt or knows anything about that area. Research indicates the Cowper’s gland is there, but not usually palpable.
Got a doc appointment on the 25th, but he’s just going to get me a referral and/or a PSA test. I’d like to know what this thing is regardless, so hoping the urologist referral isn’t months out.
That’s all. I’ll update when any news occurs.
General post disclaimer: I know it's weird to have a disclaimer on a post as long as this, before two more disclaimers, but it's just some context. I was somewhat obsessed a few months ago with finding answers about Asperger's Syndrome / High-Functioning Autism (was that a "special interest"? I sometimes wrote for several hours a day... O_O ), and how they could apply to me, but I've realized now that it's okay. It's really okay, to not worry about it, to worry about how it makes me act or come across as or think in seemingly totally random trains of thought as compared to others. It really is, and I also now think that I don't really want or need a diagnosis. I'm roughly 85-90% sure I have it, but getting a piece of paper won't really be of use to me on a daily basis. My "symptoms" don't seem to be as "severe" as others on here and other places, and I don't feel that I need extra accommodations. If somebody doesn't believe me when I tell them, assuming I choose to, and they're not willing to understand, they're probably not worth exerting extra energy over, and that's okay. I've tried changing my mindset since I wrote this, last edited about six months ago, from a less black / white absolute mindset to one that realizes I can't control everything, and that not everything has an answer that may seem satisfying the first time around.
If I'm not looking for answers nearly as intently on the subject of AS / HFA, why am I posting this draft anyway? I think it's possible that it could be of use to others who maybe would resonate with questions I asked or information I gave. That on its own is probably worth it. Also, maybe I am a little bit curious to responses I might get, but I'm not going to use them as evidence or proof or foolproof tips and tricks like I think I originally wrote this for. I hope this helps somebody out, even if it helps nobody but me, 'cause I haven't read this in a long time and will do so now.
I hope this helps at least one other person. Forgive my awkwardness. Thanks for your time.
Another interruption, sorry - apparently reddit has a 40,000 character limit... this was over 58,000 characters, according to https://wordcounter.io. I guess I don't really have another option, so I've decided the "other topics" and their table of contents are going on a separate, second post, which I will link as soon as I can.
Apologies if I appear blunt, but I crave answers. I am a (16M) kid looking for advice from

I was reading through some comments about menslib. And one of them caught my eye.
>i'm disappointed that the community does not seem to like the hard work of self-examination
And it reminded me of one of the biggest gripes men have with menslib.
The persistent framing of male issues as merely personal and outright denial that men may face sexism or discrimination at an institutional level.
I'm also reminded of the proposal at Simon Fraser University (near Vancouver) to open up a men's centre on campus to address issues like suicide, drug/alcohol addiction, and negative stereotypes.
The women's centre, which already existed, opposed this.
They argued that a men's centre is not needed because the men's centre is already "everywhere else" (even though those issues aren't being addressed "everywhere else"). The alternative they proposed was a "male allies project" to "bring self-identified men together to talk about masculinity and its harmful effects"
Now, to me this illustrates something very clearly.
And that is that the widespread feminist viewpoint is that there is a problem with men. Or that men themselves are the problem.
This is why feminist attempts at addressing men's issues usually just ends up victim blaming men.
People often get upset at men's advocates for "just wanting to bash feminism"
But unfortunately if we want to actually work towards egalitarian goals. That means we must challenge and deconstruct these negative and counterproductive beliefs about men.
If anybody needs to do some introspection or self examination. It's the people who are upset because they don't understand why we oppose feminism.
if you really want equality. Start by not treating men like we're monsters.
Forget about all the bragging and start to work on real things. Starting from today, I decided to open up a channel, and the content is about a middle-aged LOWB's self-struggle record. The first article analyzes the causes make myself becoming a loser, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
If you said to me that I am a LOWB, I would definitely be angry when I was young, because at that time I was proud and arrogant, I thought I had ideas and ambitions, healthy limbs and a smart mind, how could I be a LOWB? But looking back now, everything with ideas, limbs and smart mind, etc. , are all just conditions that I had. Without the blessing of actions, their final effect is zero. I believe that many people have this shortcoming: they have ideas, but lack the ability to act. So the first reason for me to become a LOWB is the lack of action. When I encounter difficulties, I stepped back, and I didn't do anything other than persuading myself not to do it.
After leaving school and stepping into society for so many years, it is true that work takes up my time. Overtime working is really a lot to me. But I was lying to myself that I really don’t have time. Most of my free time was used for entertainment. Playing games and reading novels at home is a typical bad habit for me. I really want to know what sense of accomplishment and satisfaction can be obtained from it. I did have some sense of accomplishment in the early stage, but as I got older, doing these things is more like a subconscious habit. I feel uncomfortable if I don't play, and it seems like a shortcoming of me. This may also be a characteristic of most people. Social entertainment is quite different from playing games though. At least, I go out to eat and drink with my friends. This is called local social interaction, and it is really useful in many cases. So I summarize that the second reason for my LOWB is to waste my free time in single-player entertainment activities.
When I was young, I was introduced to many people, either on blind dates or introduced by friends. I actually knew a lot of the opposite sex, but I just didn’t want to find a girlfriend. I wasn’t satisfied with anyone because I was too picky. I didn’t want to end the unrestrained single life. I really want to have a beautiful love, but I don’t believe that I can really find love; so in this passive idiotic waiting, I missed the golden age of finding a partner. I used to hold an idea which is like a hygienic addictio

So I had a car accident 6 years ago and the defendands have admitted liability. They are however denying losses in the way of some if my electrical testing equipment being damaged and took me to trial for fundamental dishonesty.
I lost the case, owing to the fact that when cross examined there was facts I mentioned that wasn't mentioned within the bundle my solicitors had prepared for the courts.
Due to these missing details, they decided I was guilty of fundamental dishonesty and have to pay for the time in court etc.
However this was not due to any proof, rather lack of statements of truth from witnesses mentioned, or missing particulars. As such they took for, and I quote, 'seeing it will be alright on the night' attitude and that it was made up as it went along.
Since then I am told that my own solicitors will forward their costs onto me too.
How can this be right?
Just wanted to share. Mush love 💕
