i want them to do the mushrooms, its good for them, i just want them to stop insisting that we all need to do mushrooms too. I love shrooms, I did not need them to realize that other people are just like me and have feeling just like I do. I realized that at like 11, pretty sure most not cis het white people do as well. they just need to proselytized to people who aren't me I guess.
I'm gonna be real, LSD helped me empathize, but not because I realized other people are just like me. I knew that.
It was because it helped me think in different ways, where I was recognizing different patterns than usual, and became more interested in plants, bugs, that kind of stuff.
It gave me a wider pool of experiences to draw on when empathizing. Now, when someone is stoked about a pretty plant or a bird or something instead of imagining what it would be like to be excited about it and empathizing from there, I can take a shortcut and draw straight from my experience being excited about that kind of stuff.
im glad its helped you in that way. It helps me be less anxious about things that dont really matter that much. like why do i care if my father disapproves of me? i disapprove of him!
Yeah I mean I don't think most people mean they unlocked empathy or something. You can know something your whole life but experience that feeling in a new way. Like if someone was in a near death incident and they said something to me like they feel really alive, I wouldn't be like "no duh."
Anyways I get a lot of people online who talk about psychedelics are rogan listeners so yeah not a fan of those

I'm so glad you got there. That dude sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about, you seem legit.
thanks!
