    therapy is expensive, hard to access, and often completely ineffective individualistic capitalist self-help 'manifesting ur dreams' BS. 'lol just stop being sad bro just tell urself ur not sad anymore bro trust me bro just one more CBT bro i promise bro'

    Therapy can suck too. A lot of them terfs or religious zealots who belittle any beliefs or values that don’t align with Codependent No More.

    I need you to stop personally attacking me for wanting to be a Buddhist monk when I was 30. Absolutely not cool.

      I was thinking Christian monks when I posted. I didn't mean to attack your childhood dream

        Sorry I was totally pulling a self-deprecating joke and just being over the top. Thanks for caring about my feelings though.

    Bring back Dionysian cults where men would just get drunk in cave and fuck each other until they no longer feared death.

    I always wanted to do that when I was a kid. I imagine it has something to do with my current anxiety disorder

    Rather than going to therapy men will build a commune together. Take vows of silences and scar runes into their flesh as they study the tomes of ancient forbidden knowledge to bring back some ancient condemned nethergod. Or perhaps just vibrate their spirits the frequency of the universe to achieve higher forms of enlightenment and learn to throw fireballs as a form of exercise. Or maybe just vibe out and make beer, transcribe books, and study bees with the boyz.

    All of this while never busting.
