Constant adrenaline feeling
#21972051 - 07/20/15 06:11 PM (8 years, 6 months ago) |

Hello, I've been experiencing a constant adrenaline feeling lately. I noticed that it happens when I'm the smartest (yeah sometimes I feel very smart). It also happens randomly sometimes. I get the same adrenaline feeling when I play competitive online games such as halo or smash melee. I do exercise 3 times a week and I spend most of my time studying. I write this here to see if writing it can help me understand it.
Also, I'm fairly satisfied in general with my life so far. To date (20 years), I think that the thing that bothers me the most is that there was that girl, 3 years ago (she was the daughter of my mom's bf), that liked me and me too (1st and only time a girl liked me) but I had no guts at the time. Then my mom broke up with the guy, and I never spoke to the girl again. I was watching her facebook profile too much so I deleted her of my friend list in hope I would stop watching her pictures, but it did not work. She was shy so it is possible that she was waiting for me to do something.
As of now, I'm pretty sure we are on different paths, but I'm still watching her pictures regularly and I feel like she's not happy in her eyes. She never had a boyfriend at the time I was talking with her, so it is possible that I have hurt her by deleting her from my facebook friends and never speak to her again.
Thanks for reading

hey man. I think youre overanalyzing the situation a bit much.
confidence doesn't grow overnight. but you sure as hell don't want to live with the regret of having never said something.
try adding her on facebook, and sending her a message. ask her how shes been, n take it from there. if shes into you, the conversation should flow pretty smoothly, n take it from there. if shes shy, that's perfect, as you seem to be a bit hesitant yourself.
as for the adrenaline feeling, that could be any number of things. it could just be something as simple as anxiety though.

Wouldn't it be weird to contact her after 3 years? I mean, she was like 16 when I knew her, now she's 19
3 years ago she was really cute and kind, but now I really don't think we would make a good fit, my only concern is that now she looks like a sl*t and I don't want it to be because of me (because she liked me and I did nothing).
I was considering sending her an apologize message but I think it will just be more awkward than anything else...

it wouldn't be abnormal for you to contact her after ten years. youre catching up with an old friend. nothing unusual about that in the slightest, no matter how much time has passed.
and I highly doubt YOU turned this girl into a slut. also, don't be so quick to pass judgement. just because you don't agree with the clothing she wears doesn't mean shes a slut.
you have nothing to apologize for. life happens, n that's how it goes. send her a message, say hi, n go from there. stop thinking so much.....

Just contact her man. I dated a girl for like 6 months then broke up with her and 4 years later I contacted her and we started going out again and until now I didn't realize how much I missed her. We just click you know? If you feel like you need to contact her to feel better...just do it! If she's not into you anymore, wouldn't you feel just a little bit better knowing that there's nothing your missing out on?

You are not mindful of what intimidates you and you don't change your reaction to your stimuli.
Every time you get that adrenaline feeling, think about why you have it and what is triggering it. Simply practicing mindfulness of what intimidates you will help you to overcome it.
You can't change how you feel but you can change how you react to those feels with mindfulness.
If you want a quick solution for the adrenaline, go to your gp and ask for a script of beta blockers to stop the adrenaline flow. People use it for speeches and shit and it works wonders.

I'm not reacting to it, I just observe it and try to determine when it occurs, as I said it occurs more when I feel smart. I once tried beta blockers for a show and it worked great, but I would not take it just for that. For example, one time I went to a place when people meditate for 10 days in a row, and when you go there (and you give your 100%) it does very cool things (like feeling smart) and then one day when I had this adrenaline for a few hours. It only occurred 1 day out of 10.
Now for the girl, I think I'll just do nothing. My view of this changed over the past few days as I've been thinking to this and I think I don't care anymore

3 years is a long time to keep caring about a girl you don't talk to. It's good that you're moving on.
You feel adrenaline when you feel smart? Not sure how that works, maybe you could watch a creationist video for a while and see if it really is feeling smart that gives you adrenaline.
Can you give an example of what gives you adrenaline?

Maybe do things that trigger adrenaline releases (safe things) and try to tax the hell out of your adrenal gland. Once you've been to ten, five's not so intimidating anymore.
