Don't get me wrong this shit was devastating. When I was balding literally everyone was making fun of me and not a single person showed a sign of support and told me I'm gonna be fine. I felt fucked. I was crying so hard once that I had to push a pillow to ma face so I don't wake anyone up and I fucking bit a whole through the pillow out of anger. This somehow all changed when I shaved my head and literally everyone said I look good bald. This shit didn't affect me in the slightest way. In fact this turned out to be super liberating. Now when I hear someone complaining that they are aging because they got a new wrinkle or some shit I laugh inside because aging cannot hurt me anymore. I will get wrinkly and shit but who cares about that. Balding is the biggest sign of aging for men and I have a life-long invoulnerability to that. And also when you wear your bald head with pride you can become the supportive person all balding guys need so much. Jesus I love telling my balding friends that there is no reason to worry and they will be fine and happy because I know how devastated, scared and lonely that makes you feel.

The main mistake balding guys make is holding onto the hair they have. My husband is not balding, but chooses to shave his head anyways. Looks great. I've never even seen him with hair longer than a few mm, as its annoying to him when it grows. And i shaved my head once as well, what a great feeling! Liberating.

I feel so out of place. I'm a 30yo virgin, I live with my parents, I have no job and very few friends (I had a best friend who died of cancer last year and now I can't make new connections). But I'm a girl. And it feels like there's no community for me. Girls seems to deal with problems with promiscuity but I got to the point where I'm afraid of sex and I have to pretend I'm not to try and make female friends. And with potential male friends I'm always afraid of the direction the things will go. I like you a lot Dr.K, please do more of these discussions about women. I believe there are a lot of them who like me are afraid to speak out

I didn't even realise that some girls also struggle in such a way. All I see are girls that either have stable happy relationships, jump from bf to bf with no care in the world or are not interested in relationships at all. I can relate to the "out of place" feeling. I'm a 25yo virgin dude and I have a job and don't live with my parents. But those are just because of some incredible luck. I just took the opportunity when it came, but I could have been living with my parents and have no outlook for a job either way quite easily. I feel like I've wasted my teenage years and now I'm wasting my 20's. If it wasn't for some deep feeling that things are going to be alright eventually I, I don't even know... I'm just afraid that some day that feeling disappears and I give up completely. Such is life, amirite...

In my early 20s my mom would point out my hair was thinning, jokingly. I didn't care that she was teasing me about it, but I didn't like that my hair was changing beyond my control. So late 2019 I shaved all my hair off. I had decided that if I was going to lose my hair I was gonna lose all of it, and it was going to be my choice. Honestly, I like it. I look better bald than I did with hair.

I'm so glad to hear that you were able to commit to the shave and that it worked out. My mom and dad have made comments about mine over the past year, and what hurt is that neither of them actually know me well enough to have the "right" to make jokes like that. I don't know that either of them have ever actually asked about my feelings on anything, so naturally they don't know how absolutely agonizing it has been for years now just to look in the mirror every day. I feel that the shave is inevitable for me, but I'm currently growing it out because that's something I've always wanted to do. I just couldn't commit until it was too late.

They asume you are thinking in heylthy positive way.... th emore your mind thinks about problem or illness, your boyd experiences the illness and problem overa nd over, because the mind is repeating the program.. I was just listening an interesting trick, how to heal some problem in period of 24 hours that if you get injured your knee, falling from bike you may with your mind go back (in time) and heal the problem so first you are supposed to remember what were you thinking about before the injury, you fell from bike, because in your mind you were thinkinga bout something else, not riding your bike so as your mind stops obsessing about injury the injury heals very fast, and some lady used this trick when she was preparing avegetables, she cut finger with her knife, and she came back in time, she realize "I wasnt thinking about cutting" therefore I cut my finger this way the blood stopped bleeding, and in teh evening when husband came, there was no evidence on her finger about the injury. our mind creates a reality, if we focus on our passion we multiply the success.

How is that bad news? You can try everything, cause if you deem yourself at a dead-end then it's not getting worse from giving sth. a shot (with reasonable basic safety precautions) and even if things were to get worse, you've also clearly already been there and clearly made your way out nevertheless! Remember that you don't have to make it "that big". a single degree change will make a difference on the long road. How about starting with something that is low risk and short term? Volunteer somewhere or walk into a company and say "Hello. I know you are not hiring, but I'm trying to figure out life somewhat. And I wanted to ask if I may come in for 1 or 2 days to observe how this line of work even works, would that be possible? You'd have two free extra hands for two days or just someone to chat to, to mix up your usual pace?" You don't have to start with "the real deal". Start by figuring out what certain fields require and what you're good at handling or really bad at.

When I was 22 (currently 25) developed Alopecia Universalis, meaning I lost ALL my hair over the course of like 4-5 months. I started puberty early, and have been able to grow facial, chest, body hair for most of my life, and my head hair was really thick. I was going through a really hard time emotionally so losing my hair really shattered the little confidence and self- identity I had

Alopecia can be so hard to deal with! I used to work with a woman who had it, and her tales of growing up with it were heart breaking. She now runs an organization called Boldly Me that helps people deal with the trauma of being "different", not just from Alopecia but from other conditions, injuries, etc. I have such deep respect for what she has accomplished. I hope that you, too, find some solid ground to stand on and from which to become whoever you want to be, despite the burden of alopecia.

In a weird way I wish people had made "more fun of me" as my hair thinned because I was completely oblivious to it. I remember once in my 20s, a woman I was having fun with commented on it and I shrugged it off/thought she was messing around. Years later my wife (then GF) bought some me caffeinated shampoo, I didn't connect the dots AT ALL. A few years ago I decided to shave it off, and my entire (very loving) family were like, "Oh - you finally did it?" What do y'all mean, "finally"? I think back to that earlier woman, have I been balding for 15 years and didn't know? Funny, if I don't think about it too much.

Meditation has been a transformative practice for many, and the Buddha’s response to the question “What have you gained from meditation?” is a powerful one. According to the quotes, the Buddha replied, “Nothing at all.” However, he went on to say, “Let me tell you what I lost: Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Insecurity, Fear of Old, Age, and Death.” This quote highlights the idea that meditation is not about gaining something new, but rather about letting go of the things that hold us back. By practicing meditation, the Buddha was able to release himself from the burdens of negative emotions and mental states, allowing him to experience a greater sense of peace and liberation. This quote suggests that the true gain from meditation is not something that can be measured or accumulated, but rather it is the freedom from the things that weigh us down.☮

My confidence grew when I embraced bald. I was always teased as a kid about my hair (red) and it was thin to begin with so I was constantly worried about how it looks. It was a huge relief to not worry about the placement of my hair if it was windy, or how it looked when it was wet or sweaty, and no bed head. Saved time in the morning routine. Also, a bald head on a cold pillow is something I wish everyone can experience 😂

I used to have glorious hair. I mean cascading ringlets down to my shoulders. Women would stop me in public and ask to touch it. At 24 my balding became visible. I mourned the loss. Shaved my head and scattered the hair in places i had fond memories. The mountain where my girlfriend filled it full of wildflowers. The river where my favorite photos of myself were taken as i fished. Etc. All i can say is truly let it go and process the loss. I've since dated women who were far out of my league, have a great friend group, and I'm successful in dating even when I've been overweight. It has never held me back in any way, i think because i let it go so thoroughly and stayed well groomed.

Now I have lost that. Not sure if it is from multiple repeated varying types of failure or what but I find myself way more insecure now than ever before. Goto work towards that again if I am going to get my life and relations back together and better than they have ever been.sucky part is for numerous of my issues I got an idea on the path I need to take but either face choice paralysis or fear to make any choices/actions feeling I'll make things worse.

My height gets to me sometimes but I remind myself this is the life I have to master, I can’t live anyone else’s taller life. I dress well, go to the gym, smile, work on my career and crack jokes.

I want to set a schedule of meditations I understand and like, and do them twice a day. I'm a novice but I find it easy to reach a relaxed state or hypnotize myself... I somewhat do it when I have a scalding hot bath, or when I lay in bed remembering what my dreams were after I wake up, or when I read or study. I get easily irritated with guided meditations. because I don't like the voice, the words, the music or sounds are distracting, it's a relaxing video somewhat (or should be) but I just don't deeply connect to how most people are doing things. Which is fine but I want to connect again (I can tell I'm closed off, like I'm getting 'burnt out' and I need to seek out materials and people I can easily connect with - it does exist. Looking for something more effortless... loving this channel. Thank you)

Hard work trumps talent every time. I went bald at 21 and now I'm 38. It allowed me to work on myself and also made me realize that confidence trumps looks every time. I also remember one of my friends telling me I wasn't bald. Even though I blatently am. I think they meant 'You don't act like a bald person'. Long story short, it wasn't my lack of hair that held me back. It was me consistent drinking self loathing and non-spirituality. Luckily for me I have conquered these things. All the best peeps

I think there's a huge factor you're not mentioning here when it comes to whether attractiveness is indeed an advantage. This may be more true for me because I'm a woman, but I'm very grateful that I've never been stereotypically attractive, because I don't have to swim through a sea of shallow attention in order to find genuine connections. For the most part, I trust that the people who gravitate towards me are the ones who are likely to accept me as I am for the rest of my life, and that feels really good for me.

This series had a huge impact on me and honestly, alongside whatever else you might be doing to move forward with your life, I wholeheartedly recommend you read these books. Brandon Sanderson helped changed my life, especially as I was doing other positive things to become the kind of person I wanted to be.

I feel like Dr K should talk about this whole "Bear or Man in woods" meme that's been going around, and how men are individually supposed to deal with this is how women perceive men as a stereotype.. or talk about how this is a situation where people say one thing when they would at core do the opposite and why this is damaging to society For reference, there's a question circulating amongst women asking, "If you were alone in the woods and one direction is a bear and the other direction is a random man, which direction do you run?" and most women are saying the bear

As a woman I also feel peer pressured not to speak against the women saying bear so I stay silent even if I think it's ridiculous. It's not worth my energy/I don't have time to get in internet fights where women think I'm betraying the in-group by believing this is stupid and no I am genuinely very afraid of large deadly wild animals on a whole different level. Yes some women make good points about the scariness of a bear and its type of violence being more straightforward to deal with than some of the horror some women have had to deal with from certain horrific men but. Nonetheless this is pretty ridiculous.

@@VioletEmeraldYou’re taking this very literally. The whole point of the bear v man discussion is to highlight just how dangerous it is for women to be in the great outdoors. You should listen to the stories that women like Melanie Hamlett tells. Whilst Bears are very dangerous a woman can be prepared and take advice on what to do if she sees a bear, avoid doing certain behaviours and activities. Men are more dangerous in a way, less predictable and a woman should rightly be on her guard too. It’s always telling how men rarely consider women’s safety and justifiable fears in situations they are very vulnerable in, but only consider their hurt feelings and ego.

I often hear them say that people used to look at them and now they feel invisible.

Look at any professional advice for couples who get into a rut and what they get told to do to bring back the love, care and passion. Self-care and relationship-care are not things that we "get running" once and that's it. They are life long commitments that also need occasional re-invention. That said, we can acknowledge that what is way more likely going on here, is that adult responsibilities suck the joy out of ppl. :'D And as ppl go from being young to middle-aged, the "time for all sorts of responsibilities that don't actually feed you or your relationships" gets shrunken down. We have social structure issues heavily handing out "curse"-status like effects. All ppl who are not equipped to actively counter these, start falling apart more. It's really rough. We need way more feminism and hence work fields htat stop assuming "workers" = "child-free ppl or ppl with an unpaid full-time home-maker". (=_=#). It's not doing us any good. Societies literally need to enable ppl's social time and ppl's access to affordable heath etc.

I was in a long-term relationship with a guy the same height as me, and I am not tall. He did not care about his height, even when I wore heels. He did not give a shit and neither did I. It was actually really nice to hug and kiss someone and not have to break my neck trying to reach them haha. The things that attracted me to him and the reasons we broke up were not related to his height. The whole leg lengthening trend is so messed up, it makes me so sad that people would surgically alter their bodies just to meet the standard of people who would reject them if they are not the height that they approve of. If someone is so shallow that they would reject you as a *whole person* if you don't meet their "you must be this tall to ride," you don't want to be with them. Being considered short or ugly or fat or whatever can kind of be a handy litmus test for filtering out shallow arseholes tbh 😅 Let's all move towards self acceptance of the person we are today 💜

About bypassing the mind, IMO that's kinda confused. Quote from a blogpost: > **Human beings by default imagine that their conscious thought has more influence than it really has.** They think it because they are fooled by their brain's built-in biases. > **The first correction is to note how little control we really have over anything, aka the "rider and elephant".** After realizing this, you can make good use of whatever little power you have. People from rationality/LessWrong circles tend to get this right. > So at this point it should be clear that **the conscious mind/System 2 operates in a sort of a sandbox.** > The second correction is to realize that **you can go out of the sandbox.** Of course, the keys to exit the sandbox are weird-shaped, and require work to acquire. They must be like this. The point of a sandbox is that you shouldn't be able to exit it by chance. > However, rationalists are more than ready (at least some of them!). The problem is that they also tend to believe that the sandbox is the whole world, and they do not seek the keys. A part of the reason seems as simple as: it's low status to say that conscious thought has superpowers inside of the brain. That's what people think before they make the first correction. > Putting 1 and 2 together. If you are ready, seek power within your mind, because the power is there. By the way, if you go to a long meditation retreat that does not suck, they can probably teach you enough. It will be unpleasant, because their methods are crude and their models are crap. But you only need to stick around for long enough to see that the power is real. > You also need to not bend your neck to the power, and worship it just like millions of people did over millenia. Reductionism! Consequentialism! Bayes! These are powerful tools, use them! You'll figure it out, because you are ready.

@@Dimitris_Balf I don't think you are understanding our point at all. Never said any of this was right, just pointed out that's the way things are sadly. There's no body positivity movement for men and there will never be one because it's mainly a bs to tell women what they want to hear, not to change people's perceptions or behaviours towards the unlucky ones that happen to be outside of what's perceived as attractive.

Brother, why would I want to fix my insecurities if they are warranted?

Because the are a waste f energy if they're not doing their job of "guilt is there to fuel your behaviour towards improvement". It's lie having the little lights in the car on signalling that the car has a problem and just staring at them and lamenting and dying miserably in the middle of a deserted road cause you'd rather "enjoy these lights" than attend to what it takes to sort out the trouble and proceed with your journey. So what if they are warranted? Even so you have a life to live. Might as well ditch the whole concept and live being content internally against all odds!

@@Dimitris_Balf if you are insecure about financial status and you are actually in a poor financial status, then being insecure about your financial status is warranted. If someone has facial flaws, and they are insecure about the those flaws, then the insecurity is warranted. There’s plenty more examples however it should be pretty self explanatory.

@@KxNOxUTA how can you be content, whilst being facially flawed for example, or having an unsustainable financial situation. Your analogy is also bad as if you weren’t insecure about (to some extent) the light signaling, you just wouldn’t feel a need to change anything because in your insecurity free mind, there’s no issue. It’s the same with fat people.

If you were listening he isn't telling you to fix your insecurities. They are there and may or may not be warranted. He is telling you to simply accept where you are and do not compare yourself to what you think you should be.

Note to self: Don’t do Dr. K’s guided meditation while driving the company van. 😅 Don’t worry I didn’t get in accident but I did experience something incredible. I was able to find the atom of my existence separate from my body within my arms and I did that while also actively driving. It felt like I was an observing myself from another realm. Like the Jack who was navigating, pressing the gas, and turning at signals wasn’t me but a self-creation of what I truly am. That feeling of energy I felt on the atomic level. Did I just experience ego death?

Hey Dr. K I am worried about the point system that is proposed. It is my understanding that tying an external reward to actions you want to encourage will temporarly encorage the actions, but will result in those actions dereasing when the external reward is no longer applied. I understand that external rewards can decrease innate internal drive. Let me know if my understanding of this concept is flawed.
