Yeah, I’m happy to know where this anger came from. It’s totally gone now, I can look back at all the situations like watching a film but I’m not in my body. So just an observer. It’s not healthy but I miss the anger - it felt like a super power.
I’m from the West Indies - won’t say which island exactly because it’s unusual and I have a couple friends on the forum who don’t know this part of my story. I’d like to leave it that way at least for now.
I alluded to some of it in earlier posts. I’m pretty verbose so it’s like reading a damn Ted talk unfortunately:) I’m already highly social. Generally throw parties, organize events with friends and friends of friends. Curiously I’m a little less outgoing and spend more time planning and executing on goals. And just processing all the stuff that comes up.
I’ve always had a pretty approachable vibe. Now women seem a bit more curious in general. However I also as a practice/habit engage people in conversation everywhere. On the metro, while waiting in line somewhere so, women seem slightly more open to the interaction, less initial suspicion. Before the stack they’d be a little suspicious then after 2 or 3 minutes relax. Now they relax much sooner.
Being a bit of a big guy you learn to carry a relaxed posture and just vibe with people so they chill out. So that’s a habit.
Less than I am when not on this stack. Usually would have something going on every couple of weeks and have smaller groups of friends over 2-3 times a week. That’s dropped to friends over what feels like 1-2x month. And I don’t have anything big planned at the moment. And probably won’t for several months.
But I’m using the time and resources to focus on things that move the needle forward.
That’s a curious question. When you say dominating what do you mean? I ask because many people have a different idea of what that means. I generally replace the idea of dominance with aggression. When I think about it like that it’s easy to gauge what level of aggression is appropriate in an interaction that goes above my baseline. Because of my height and weight people already respond to me a certain way.
It balances me out - instead of all sex, parties and such I’m actively working on goals. Tonight meeting 2 people for dinner. Then a friend will drop by for drinks. Meanwhile I have a serious deadline at work tomorrow but I recognize now when to ease up and take a break.
Not sure what you mean by this, would you mind elaborating/adding some context? I volunteer pretty regularly. And my nature is if I can help someone quietly w/o any real loss to myself…meaning my needs are still met I’ll do. Is this in line with what you were asking?
Cautious curiosity for women - some men just randomly start conversations with me. However I notice they seem to be very comfortable/secure in themselves.
I really miss the rage though. However I understand why it’s no longer there. So now perhaps I’ll put energy into gratitude. I’ve given a lot of credit to KB however EB I think synergises really will and pulls up all those dark memories related to sex. Regular Khan kind of levels things out a bit. I wonder if whatever sub EB is paired with it goes to work in the shadow areas related to the subs theme.
