Can you change yourself? * 1
    #18829240 - 09/11/13 06:41 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I don't like who i am, i don't think i've ever liked who i am.

I've tried psychedelics and i think they can give a better/different perspective on the current situation. I've tried antidepressants and benzo's, and the latter helps when i'm on them (specifically klonopin).

But can you, at the heart of who you are, change that? I want to be more driven, more like a marine, someone who doesn't quit, someone who puts in the extra miles because they know it's what they have to do. I know what i have to do, and i can't ever seem to do it.

Depression is a key issue i know, and maybe all of this will go away in two weeks when i'm at a job i've had an interview for and it went great, but that's not enough. I need a hardwire reboot, new OS, upgraded motivational software, whatever analogy you choose to use. And i can't find it within myself.

Have any of you ever found ways to truly change the core of your being? Personally i don't think it's possible, using the above methods, like i said help, but i think i am who i am, and no matter what i do that's not going to change. And i hate that, because i'm not a very good person when it comes down to it.

Has anyone ever done this?

You are the one who controls what direction your life takes. Saying you can't change anything is just you falling victim to your "I'm not driven and never will be" attitude.

You need to find what it is that will give you that drive that you seek.
I know exactly what it is like. I can never keep myself motivated on something unless it actually GIVES me that fire.

Growing mushrooms gave me that. And I dont mean psychadelics. I discovered that I love the whole process. It's fun. It requires focus. And it makes me driven to do more and more and more. I feel it has given my life focus and direction.

You need to find something that will make you focused and driven and give you the sense of moving forward. It isn't so much a matter of CHANGING the core of yourself. It is more a matter of finding what it is that turns the core of you on. What it is that unlocks the REAL you. Rather than the YOU that you feel you are due to society.

Do some soul seeking. A lot of it. And you will understand yourself to a whole new level and discover your drive.

Thats my 2 cents :smile:

I think you can change certain aspects and perspectives by working at it, but it doesn't happen overnight. I do think it's possible to change one's self to a certain degree.

But the majority of people will live the duration of their lives who they are whether they like themselves or not.

you are infinity, and you can not change infinity. what you can change, is which aspects of infinity you focus on

which aspects of yourself do you wish to pay attention to? which do you wish to avoid?

ive been interested in a mental health group i heard of called staying motivated

maybe they have something like that around you?

next monday im gonna ask the guy who i heard about it from more about it because i cant find any info via google

this guy was apart of all these groups,and it helped him back on track, so you may have to attend more than one, on a daily basis, to get where you want to be

metabolic syndrome group

staying motivated

AA

NA

dialectical behavioral therapy

acceptance and commitment therapy

emotional rescue

i personaly didnt last long in the na/aa stuff, as i find harm reduction a much more practical approach although that can take some learning when not to do drugs,

eg

mushrooms make me more depressed when im depressed, but they can be fun when im not

or

i cant mix booze and drugs, because it causes me to drink to a stupor

so i only drink if thats all i plan on doing, and havnt touched drugs in a while

OP i can empathize.  I tried drugs and mediation for many many years and nothing came of it.  Surely, i've seen people go through magical transformations, but i've never figured out how to go about it.

As time goes on it gets boring not liking yourself and u'll chill about it though.  Its pretty hard to think that something else would be better anyways. everybody is pretty darn close to equal.

I think you can change yourself to a certain degree but genes also play a role. 

but on motivation, I don't think anyone is 100% pushing themselves all day to accomplish their goals.  It's all about balance, motivation, inspiration, and discipline imo

It doesn't have to be that, it depends on what you get out of it.  Its group therapy, you just can't take everything everyone says as fact.  Just talk about your problems, listen to others and try and figure out what can help you. Its not for everyone, but it can help give people with no one that loves them a group of people that really do care about them.

More specifically, the outlined "12 Steps" are a little too far-out for my liking.
Group therapy in and of itself can absolutely be a useful tool for those who need it.

Yes, I changed myself, I don't honestly know how I did it exactly. It's a life long process, changing yourself, we're constantly changing BUT I made a major change in these past three years of my life and I think it had a combination to do with the drug culture, jail, drugs, and girls. One day everything just came together, I became motivated, eager to learn, productive, I don't know what snapped. I became a huge adrenaline junkie, a man of action, a man that lived in the moment. I love who I am, of course I'm also a chameleon now, I can be nearly anyone but my favorite person to be is me.

Can I change myself? What a question to ask me on a night like this, where I am in a disarray trying to distinguish what is recreational drugs use and what is dependence on getting fucked up. Can I or should I? The difference between these two is drastic. A simple answer to your question would be yes. Of course, anything can change. However, the real question is should you? You sound like you really want to be different, you sound like you really want a better life but lack the motivation to put yourself wherever it is that you imagine is better. Like TeamKiller said, will it really be better? More importantly, will this magically different life you speak of make you happier? I don't have a fucking clue, personally, but your struggle is better understood by me than it might be by any. On second thought, there is a more than likely a huge percentage of the members here who truly desire something but lack the industry and persistence to make it happen.

To further divulge, I've had a huge list of things around me hanging over my head for the past months that hasn't gotten accomplished. At first my reaction was to blame the drugs (namely weed) for the accomplishment. If I wouldn't have chosen to smoke weed, maybe I would have gotten something accomplished. Alas, the true answer to your question is simple: Just do it.

Whatever you want to see happen, whatever you would like to change in your life, just do it. Don't set up any barriers, learn to persevere. More importantly, truly learn to master self discipline. It isn't something that is a given talent; even the marines you spoke about in your OP had to learn and improve their self-discipline to accomplish the tasks at hand. Not that I am special or make any kind of difference, hold any weight, or am any bearing in your life, your post has encouraged me to do what has been made apparent to myself in the past months. It is time to shed my old ways and to change who I am; to be the things I desire most. It will require commitment, persistence and self-discipline, but how rewarding the path must be in hindsight at the finish. Today is the day I change who I am currently to become exactly who I want to be tomorrow.

Your post has changed more than you will ever know. In the future I will put it on my calendar to :pm: with my progress. Thank you.

Want an instantaneous can-do attitude? Adderall always makes me feel like im actually worth something and feel like anything is possible. But, you cant take it everyday without its dreadful consequences.

If you want to actually change for the better... you need a life altering experience. Completely change your lifestyle... go somewhere far away. Change your atmosphere.

For example... if I wanted an experience to change my life, I would move to a cabin in the woods in the middle of nowhere and concentrate on the simple things in life. I would stay for a while until i feel it is time to go back and correct the things that are wrong with the life i left behind..

The antidepressants are not the answer, notice everyone that take them mostly never gets well. Life isn't easy and we are not supposed to feel great when every thing is all fucked up in our life. We must change the bad and fix the mess and learn happiness and what make you truly happy.

only then will things get better and happiness  comes I had to do it and it was the greatest thing i have done in my life.

What do you mean by "change yourself"? You can't literally change yourself but you can change and shape your ego (self identity). You just first need to accept your ego. I think psychedelics help us learn to let go of our ego to show us what our ego is. To live in the moment and to just overall be ok with ourselves by seeing the moment. When we understand our ego it's now up to the user to accept his ego. Why do you continue taking psychedelics? To run from your ego more? Learn to relove and relive.

When we take them to kill our ego. Are we accepting it? How can you possibly change it if you can't even live with it in the first place? Like any other animal you can only change with complete trust in yourself and the animal (ego)

But can you, at the heart of who you are, change that? I want to be more driven, more like a marine, someone who doesn't quit, someone who puts in the extra miles because they know it's what they have to do. I know what i have to do, and i can't ever seem to do it.

Depression is a key issue i know, and maybe all of this will go away in two weeks when i'm at a job i've had an interview for and it went great, but that's not enough. I need a hardwire reboot, new OS, upgraded motivational software, whatever analogy you choose to use. And i can't find it within myself.

Have any of you ever found ways to truly change the core of your being? Personally i don't think it's possible, using the above methods, like i said help, but i think i am who i am, and no matter what i do that's not going to change. And i hate that, because i'm not a very good person when it comes down to it.

Has anyone ever done this?



I don't really have a history with clinical depression so take the following as you see fit.
We are all different people with different issues, different upbringings, different environments and genetics.  So its very hard to give someone personal advice without having at least a general idea of the sources of their problems.  What helps me cope with my internal conflicts could be damaging to someone else, so I'll try to be mindful of that if you'll do the same. Here are some things that keep me in balance:
Plenty of time with myself, and plenty of time with people I love.
It's good for me to have girl friends, but relationships drive me insane.
Find something you enjoy doing and really sink some time into it.
I like to challenge my headspace alot. It's good to have new ideas.
Drugs are fun. Drugs can point toward unexplored territory. But they should always be a means to an end. And no, for me prescriptions don't count. Pop the occasional benzo if the need arises.  Be a drug slut - no commitments.
Humor and cynicism go hand in hand for me, but I try to remain firmly on amusement's side emotionally.
Intelligent conversation is crucial.

I guess those are the most general things I struggle with sometimes that I also see others struggling with. Take what you will, as with all things, and try not to harp on your feelings too much. It's a big world out there and there are plenty of other things to focus on.

You can change yourself, but it won't come incrementally, it will come in fits in starts or catastrophic torrents of shift, at least the changes you notice. nuances come on slowly, transformations explode into existence.

Good luck!!

The above is hypothetical, when it is illegal.

Psychedelics are performance enhancers for the philosopher.

Knowledge and wisdom are one and the same.

What do you mean by "change yourself"? You can't literally change yourself but you can change and shape your ego (self identity). You just first need to accept your ego. I think psychedelics help us learn to let go of our ego to show us what our ego is. To live in the moment and to just overall be ok with ourselves by seeing the moment. When we understand our ego it's now up to the user to accept his ego. Why do you continue taking psychedelics? To run from your ego more? Learn to relove and relive.

When we take them to kill our ego. Are we accepting it? How can you possibly change it if you can't even live with it in the first place? Like any other animal you can only change with complete trust in yourself and the animal (ego)




I just beat my depression and made big changes that had to be made because I was drown in misery and I knew I had to find the problems and resolve them.

yuuuup.



p.s.

one of my all time favorite quotes...

Quote:


“You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny.









You are in charge of your own life, and that is that. Seek nothing less than happiness, whatever that may be for you - unless happiness for you relates to sociopathic/harmful tendencies, do.not.apologize, and never feel ashamed. confront who you are, embrace it, and develop it fully. Shell Silverstein does a wonderful job illustrating why you should not apologize for who you are, flaws and all.






yup, i've been drinking tonight.

Probably but you'll have to stop taking drugs.

The difference between psychedelic users and nonusers are that they often realize they're a player in the game, instead of someone it all happens to

Change the world by changing yourself, that's how it works

And if you think that's just talk, you should reconsider it, there are many ways to change yourself , how you interact with others i.e., how you consume, how outgoing you are, help others, stop doing what makes you unhappy, always do what makes you happy, know what makes you happy ...

Infinite possibilities for self-improvement

Egodeath is a good thing I would recommend to any psychedelic user
gives you the ability to start from fresh
and install any operating system you want...

LSD has helped many people improve their lives
but change isn't easy... it takes time

LSD/meditation/nature + simple lifestyle(appreciating what I got) is my antidepressant  , and only do LSD every 3-5 months on average currently , but in the start it was often

antidepresants would make me depressed
they don't cure what I'm depressed about

depression is from forgetting oneself /  stress
simplify life, find your real values in life, those that make you happy everyday
