I reading some books on the topic and with some people do miracles inmediatly and with other do not so much but help in some way slowly to do miracles.
Self-hypnosis is the same by a therapist or you, hypnosis is self-hypnosis everytime even with the therapist.
The trance model, subconsious and NLP and control command are just pop old thing popularized by media that are not real. Science hypnosis is more based on imagination, will, belief and some training.

Here's a relatively recent interesting study on this topic. But don't expect any miracles from it.

My mother had a hemorrhagic stroke yesterday afternoon. She was lying on her bed when I found her, completely out of it, making pained noises and wasn't able to even speak properly. When she could, she made mention of a really bad headache. Had to call the ambulance and everything, they didn't seem to know what it was at first. So she was taken to the hospital, had a scan done since I'd mentioned she had a history of strokes. They only knew for certain what it was when they scanned her head, and immediately started prepping her for a brain operation that had a 20-50% success rate.

I got the call that the surgery was a success last night, but its a question as to how she'll even recover, whether she'll regain full autonomy and brain function or not. I'm unbelievably scared that it ends up being the worst case scenario and I'm praying to God its not the case, I'm hoping she makes a complete recovery despite everything. I wish none of this had ever happened.

OP here, wanted to give an update over 3 months on.

My mother is still in hospital in a special rehab ward, she's made a lot of improvement but the severity of the stroke means its likely she's gonna end up in a care home as she'll require 24/7 care. Physically, its almost like she's back to her old self. She's able to talk and make expressions completely fine, she can stand up out of bed and walk with a stroller, probably even by herself. A far cry from when just having her opening her eyes was an achievement. Cognitively though, it seems like almost the symptoms of dementia or Alzheimers. She can keep a conversation but sometimes, she ends up losing focus and putting her back onto the topic of the conversation can be difficult. She has memory troubles too, short term and long term. She won't be able to tell you what day or year it is and sometimes, its almost as though her memory is acting in recursion where she'll think its a time or year that's already gone by.

I had to tell her that one of her best friend's of 20-30 years, one that she visited in the hospital prior to their passing and went to the funeral of, had passed away 5 years prior. She looked shocked, then when I tried to insist on it, its like she sort of ignored it and went back to trying to do the wordsearch puzzles. I honestly thought I'd gotten used to things but this was a gut punch. I think sometimes she still thinks of me as a kid too. When I tell her I gotta leave the hospital after every visit, she asks if I want a lift home. I thought I was already familiar with loneliness or isolation, but its a different feeling altogether to have the house all to myself for potentially many years into the future.

The situation with my sister escalated to a police matter, (fortunately?) because of some other stupid shit she did, so my mother wasn't harmed or anything. I won't say much else aside from that.

At this point, my auntie and I have been appointed legal guardians of my mother, so I've got plenty of stuff to take care of now.

>>302648
I can't begin to imagine what I would do in a similar situation. The closest I can think of is when my stepfather passed away at home, and I had to help my mother with the funeral, but even then, she was the one helping out with everything. You're having to deal with everything on your own now, plus carry that extra weight, and I don't know how you handle it. I can't think of much to say to help anon.(*)
>Cognitively though, it seems like almost the symptoms of dementia or Alzheimers.
I'll say it bluntly because there's a chance the doctors are trying to do that "Give them hope" thing (if not, ignore me): there's a good chance she does. Strokes do that.
(*) Selfishly, I want to ask you what I should do to prepare for the day when something like this happens to my parents; but I don't think it's right for me to do that here at this time.

 No.302651

>>302649
I would say to ask them if they have any guardianship or power of attorney set up for their estate already. In my own mother's case, she hadn't done that, so it had to be taken before a civil tribunal to settle. This in my case is a headache, as I'm not currently on the lease of my mother's home at the moment and could be made homeless, where the only person who could sign my name on the lease is someone who isn't fit to sign any legal documents. So it was necessary for me toward that end.

If they do, then it saves you the headache of having to sort all that out. If you are given power of attorney, you'll likely have to take a list of all assets and debts of a person to coincide with your appointment. And depending on where you live, you'll have to re-report this every X amount of months. Aside from the usual thing of doing things in line with your parents wishes.

I would also open another bank account to scrounge any extra money, or just start saving a little extra than usual. Even if you live in a country where healthcare might be free, things like retirement homes do cost money for placement. Its just a good thing to have extra money, even if they've got life insurance set up.

You should prepare yourself mentally for the potential of people to try and take advantage of situations like that too. I have my sister, and she's an outlier as far as behaviour goes, but its more common than you think for distant family members to suddenly come back into people's lives when they're right at the end to try to gain something from it. It can be blatantly selfish but don't lose your cool. Try to pace yourself as well, in general. I don't think its possible to NOT burnout if you're visiting the hospital constantly. Any family who you can trust and rely on, those without the expectation of receiving something in return, have them in your corner all throughout.

Above all, have the courage to tell the people in your life who you love and cherish how much they mean to you BEFORE something like this happens. In retrospect, I was always put off of expressing myself; nervousness, anxiety, just an overbearing shyness I had. But being put in a position where you may not get to tell them is a genuine horror more than any speculative embarrassment. I had gripes with my mother too for years, but I've come to realize they were selfish and shoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

It's completely fucking evil. I hate living in a world where it even exists, much less one where it's celebrated. It's something 99% of men do, they don't even think twice about it. I feel completely alienated from humanity because of this. Every time I read or hear something about it I get this pit in my stomach and a sense of impending doom. It used to give me panic attacks, but now it only fills me with unbridled rage.

Literally everything in life is not sex so if you are obsessed with sex you just end up miserable.

Pick up hobbies. Find topics you love talking about.

Not a first worlder, but a guy who I went to Uni with is now in another country and already bought his own apartment years ago, last time I checked on him he was progressing in his career meanwhile I am still not even at square one, He was just luckier than I because his father lived in a better country and managed to find him a job through connections, he barely studied or attended classes regularly or anything.

I know some people like that who 'made' it too. One is an old friend from elementary school. I almost never see him anymore but we live in a small town so sometimes we still talk. He is 26, married his high school gf a few years ago, they have an apartment they own and three cats. He's not even in a super fancy career, he just started working after finishing 10th grade and that's why he's basically set now.
The other guy I met in high school and he was kind of a Chad unironically. Not necessarily god like looks but probably a 7 or 8. Most of all it was the way he carried himself and acted, it was always like he was in complete control. He was also top of the class and really industrious and in the time it has taken me to get halfway through my Bachelors he is almost finishing up his Masters and even doing a semester abroad in Japan.
It is what it is. I have my own issues that held me back and I'm working on it. I just have to accept that I will always lag behind most people in terms of socially expected milestones. But then again, I already knew a decade ago that I would become a wizard and with every passing year I come closer to it. Some of us are just a little too abnormal to function well in society. We just have to try to get by regardless.

Whilst many people I've grown up with have become even bigger losers than me, ie: Dead, OD'd, life sentences, homeless and cracked out. I also know some that are having hollywood tier success. World class kick boxer or muay thai some type of fighting but he's literally top 3 in his sport, winning lots of money for it. Sometimes see him at work and he sometimes says hello. I can see the pity in his eyes. Others are just generic office/dev jobs and they have million dollar mansions and luxury ferrari type cars.

Do you think normies could ever accept us or even tolerate us for real? It's obvious that absolute majority people is repulsed by a NEET lifestyle, failed dating/life/work experience, motivational or existential problems. Do you think there's a space for us to exist at all? Is it acceptable, is it planned for? Or we are truly just the trash of the world that should be cut out from society the sooner the better?

I've been saying that for years and people just get defensive over it.

Screw that statistic that claims only 1% of the population are psychopaths.
It's not a World Health Organization diagnosis, it's a patterns of behaviors, actions and speech.

Based on those, 90-95% of normie/neurotypical people are psychopaths.

There is no compassion because there are very little people willing to acknowledge that it could have been them too if a few factors in their life went wrong. It's like that one meme sentence I see often: "You are closer to being homeless than being a billionaire" (or its variant "You are one missed paycheck away from being homeless"). It's true, and people readily accept this fact more when it's about money, but less when it's about one's life circumstances.

You don't necessarily have to be homeless to have a miserable life, even "little things" like isolation can worsen your quality of life to the point it drives you suicidal. That expands to a lot of things.

Life is the most frontloaded shit we ever experience. The first five to ten years of your life are the most important in terms of development (to be frank it fucking starts in the womb and before conception) and have the biggest impact in your future emotional and physical well-being. You can't choose your environment though. You can't pick your parents either, or the location you're born into (not necessarily talking about the country, but being born in a slum vs being born in a town with decent infrastructure or in the suburbs of a big city changes what you have access to). And you can't choose whether you're neurotypical or not.

Normies basically have benefitted from a confluence of positive factors from birth that set them up for a decent life in adulthood and that makes them unable to put themselves in a downtrodden person's shoes. That's all there is to it. And that's why if you ever make the mistake of venting about your life to one of them, you'll get the same copy and paste advice you've heard a thousand times before.

it's not really your or their fault though, because genetic determinism is a thing.

The world is in a very sorry state, many people would be grateful if you just left them alone/weren't a criminal. Don't get me wrong though, they'll still not like people like us but we aren't the elephant in the room for most normies right now.

Is anyone else lacking formative, human experiences? I've never:

>Dated anyone

>Had an actual friend
>Had a real conversation that went past surface level shit. Not with anybody, not even with my parents, they just say "Oh yeah anon me too…now I need to rant about my day,"
>Had a in-depth conversation about my hobbies and interests past "Yeah I like X"
>Been anywhere or done anything really, I mostly just sit in front of my PC.

I'm 25 now. I realize I have no framework for connecting with people – I don't have a lack of empathy or anything, in fact I'd say I feel for people too strongly sometimes. I just can't connect with them. I'm polite and quiet and that's it.

>What about online relationships


Outside of imageboards, I basically don't exist.

I feel like 25 is too late too. I know it's not "old" but most people my age have been to concerts, have had foundational experiences like heartbreak or just smoking weed after class with friends, etc. and then I'm a blob who's never even been to anyone's house or been invited anywhere. I feel like my soul hasn't been developed. I know I have a mind and moral systems and thoughts but I have no way of communicating them without a lot of deliberation. There's nothing there. I don't know. But can anyone else relate?

Listen, it's awesome that you got out of that situation and are now living a life that you find worth living. Good for you, seriously. The reason people like Goggins grind my gears so much is that, as you've said yourself, most of us don't lead such bad lives to begin with. But all those gurus online will tell you to get on your grind and hustle and never stop and what not and for what? I have food and shelter and a job that I can tolerate for now, I am healthy and even have a couple of friends I can play video games with. The only things I am 'lacking' are superfluous things like social status or material riches, which are things you get through your circumstance for the most part.
I don't care about being exceptional, I just want to be comfortable and enjoy this ride as much as I can within my means while I still can, before life finds a way to fuck me up again. It's kind of like the Western vs Eastern mindset, the Western one being about pursuit and struggle and the Eastern more coming to acceptance of what is and contentment from within.
