Becoming yourself

How did you guys become yourselves? How do you deal with being by yourself at home and learn to like yourself?

 

Copious amounts of psychedelic medicine.
learning/playing Music, art, isolation.
meditation.
accepting. blooming.

hard to explain!

sorry if that's kind of a weird answer...but it's true...

just laying on the forest floor...

 

i like your answer. thank you

 

I don't get the question... I can always deal with being by myself at home and I love myself and who I am.

 

That's awesome, Ostr.
I've known many people that didn't even know who they are...like when I was going to public school as a kid, hell, I didn't even know who I was...I wanted to copy what was cool etc...

took a lot of metaprogramming. that's for sure.

 

Yeah, I can relate. I didn't always know myself or follow myself fully when I was young, such as middle school or the beginning of high school.

I dunno, I guess I just found the things that I loved and somehow learned to accept and I try to live without regrets. Of course I don't always live like this cause no one is perfect, but I try my best for the most part.

 

wise man

 

meditation seems like a good start. who knew just siting and breathing could help you relax and just mellow yourself out

 

veroness. ive been alone now for a week (not long i know) 9 to go before my boyfriend gets back. i didnt really know myself either, but already im getting to. some of stalks advise is good, also find something u enjoy that u get the time to do alone and expand it, create things and yea meditate....expand your mind, learn. anything. almost everything u do alone is sumthing ur going to want to do, no pressures from anyone else, so embrace that.

how long are you alone for?

 

i always liked walking around by myself in bushes

well i guess i had some dogs on the way

thats a good way to be by your self

 

haha im alone for a long time. my boyfriend and i are trying to work things out and one thing that will help us, is that i find myself and be less clingly and have my presence help him grow. i have grown so much by being with him, but i havent been there helping him grow. if i do things more by myself and know what i like, we may end up with more things in common.

 

good luck with it, hope it works out for u!

 

thanks. so far ive been making great progress. i applied to our local community college today and set up a placement test, started up guitar again, and practiced mediataion techniques.

 

check this website out

just google

that seems like a good one. ever hear of chordfind.com? is like the same one but doesnt have songs

 

One question.. who else would I be?

I'm me, no more, no less.. I've always been me.

 

well i guess i couldnt do it. i dont have the strength to sit down and meditate past all my thoughts. im so fucked

 

what do you mean?

 

i cant meditate long enough to have a clear mind. i just keep thinking and thinking and well its not my thing. its not meant for me

 

there are many ways to meditate.

if you don't like the traditional version, just play guitar

p.s. try meditating high on ganja some time. only need to do it for about 10 minutes.
