...See more I'm soon starting a new life as traveller and writer Will it succeed? I have no idea Here I will put some quotes that bring me feelings of excitement and that resonate with me "That night, as I lay wondering whether I would get sleep or explosion, I got the idea instead. A man who couldn't make things go right could at least go. He could quit trying to get out of the way of life. Chuck routine. Live the real jeopardy of circumstance. It was a question of dignity" - William Least Heat-Moon, shortly before a 13000 mile trip on the back roads of America
Underthinking

...See more Is this a thing? People talk about overthinking things but I suffer from the opposite - underthinking. No planning no thinking of consequences or what will happen next, everything is spur of the moment - it drives me crazy but then next time its like no I don't need to think things through i will just start immediately
Support for Borderline?
Personality Disorders Support / by WhatNameidk

...See more Is there really support for borderline personality disorder?  For a start, I don't like being told positive platitudes  Sometimes I like to argue  I don't want someone to offer encouragement and say generic positive things to me - I find it patronising  Are there any people who are capable of being real and dealing with someone with bpd? Not a generic do-gooder.. that just doesn't work

...See more I've always found the "be kind to yourself" softy approach very unappealing  I have been homeless and deprived and so on I have rather an extreme mindset I wonder if I can put it to use? Like some people cross the Antarctic or whatever. I feel like you need a certain hard mentality for things like that. Not everyone wants to be warm and cosy doing crafts and eating "yummy" things, like most people on 7cups seem to promote I just feel I should embrace my natural propensity to push things to the extreme? Rather than trying to make myself feel better in ways that are frankly too soft for me. I see people living their lives and it seems like they enjoy the things that really don't mean a lot to me
Safety

...See more I hear a lot about "feeling safe" and whilst I agree sometimes it is necessary I also feel it is very limiting  I'm not a psychologist but I have read and believe that the subconscious can prioritise survival to the point where you sit alone in your room all day long and never go out and never talk to anyone and on one level you feel "safe" but on another you are desperately lonely and unhappy  So you need to feel unsafe to get out of this. There's no way around it

...See more Hello, welcome to 7cups I am a trained listener What's on your mind today? Well, people keep laughing at me because I am short :( Oh, I'm sorry, that must be very hard to deal with It is!

We even defeated the Romans! and yet still they make fun of me :( The Romans? Yes yes pay ATTENTION! In the battle at Austerlitz Erm right, so how does this all make you feel? ANGRY!! Like I have something to prove. I intend to conquer the whole world!! Then we'll see who laughs... I see, err are you.. Napoleon, that's right. The world will remember my name! Now stand straight.

The Internet

...See more Do you really think the internet is beneficial to mental health as a whole?  I don't I have 1.9GB of data left and then it will be no more internet for me... I don't own a phone so no internet on there. This is my laptop which I am still using but once the data runs out then I will have no access to the internet I know it might be incomprehensible to most of you - but remember real life? where you never had to care or worry about comments or likes or emails or hackers or all the other endless stuff that comes online. I know there are "good" things about the internet, I just think the bad outweighs the good for me personally A lot of you are probably not old enough to even remember a time when everyone wasn't online so for you it might be a totally alien concept  I see people on their phones walking along, at the bus stop, on a fairground ride, whilst watching TV, whilst eating, whilst with their friends haha it never ends, so glued to it and I think it is really sad No more internet for me lol What are your thoughts on this and for you personally?
