Bulgaria

[VewyScawwyNawcissist]

Soemone abroad claimed they got cysts from food in Bulgaria, feel way better abroad.

Yeah not so much rules but so many ruined lifes because of ignorance. Here in the west i promise you, there are some real dumb c-words but they live good life because of how organized everything is

Apparently transportaiton here is worse, less efficient, also education system has more useless junk information.

education system has more useless junk information

Wider education develops more whole understanding and lesser attachment to narrow knowledge occupation, makes more flexible in what to do in the life. Also it develops better the mind and the general abbility to think, to understand the life better.
More specialized education makes you lesser free in a choice, besides lesser wise. And such knowledge has higher risk to become "junk", when external conditions will change or you'll get changes in the life, - it will be harder to adopt to changes.
"Elites" always get wide education. It's what socialistic approach was, some of what could stay in Bulgaria. As Socialism supposed equality, not to create masters and slaves, so anyone got elites alike wide education. USSR had among best (unlike USA after 1960s) mass education in the world, while eastern europe comrades tried to copy it.

Talks about redundant or hard education lead to make it worse. Worser education -> easier controlled and exploitated people, lesser resources to below classes. Nothing else.

Yah, but they have easy access to performance enhancing drugs, so thats something.

Why does he want medication?

Also, you'd think if ADHD were some genetic incurable mental illness that could only be effectively treated by Adderall, and Bulgaria isn't some 3rd world country where a Coke bottle is considered a sign from the gods nor a bunch of genetically superior superhumans with no mental illnesses, Adderall for ADHD would be equally available there as it is in a country like the US.

he was struggling too much to focus to do waht he needs or maybe wants to do.

Advise him to avoid screens for a month.

I have two immediate relatives who are both diagnosed in the 90s of ADHD.

Both are extremely successful in their careers and life, but there was a ton of struggles over the years.

One did ritalin in the 90s, but quit because of uncontrollable blinking.

The other has a high stakes high attention type career that helps them excell under pressure.

I don't think either has used Adderall. I've heard it helps ADHD people, but really it's legal amphetamine... I mean, do we need to be giving this stuff to kids? Maybe schools are literally destroying them as it stands? But at the same time, ADHD is real and it can have a negative impact with its more dysfunctional traits. It also has many positives.

I don't think it's a long term solution, but I do think as a more long term acute way to control ADHD while the person builds a repertoire of good, personalized habits, it can work.

I myself had pretty difficult ADD, but it was the more "in my head" version. I would loose keys, things, forget key stuff, move to quickly. At 36 I've learned many ways to cope and had developed discipline.

Some people need drugs, I am surprised it's hard to access in Bulgaria when it's easy to access steroids there.

I don't subscribe to the mentality that pharmaceuticals will save us. They have there place though for sure. I just have to pause and wonder why Adderall is dished out like candy, or people use it to help study for school. Imhe it does effect people long term. Messes with dopamine serotonin systems. Reward, pleasure, delayed gratification. Not to mention the acute mood swings in people using it as a nootropic. At some point you have to question yourself on whether or not something is being used as a performance enhancer, or as a crutch/addiction cause it gives a certain feeling.

Maybe it's natural to be ADHD?

he was a cs go semi pro and he would be awake mostly at night. he'd have nothing to do.

There used to be these things called "books." He could try reading one when he's awake at night. Sounds better than ruining his health and attention span to play a video game.

attention span is not a thing. cognition is very complex.

Cognition is definitely worsened by being a CS:GO player instead of reading books.

no because books are often full of junk, they can make you lazy and complacent, they are not directly visually stimulating which is an important part of cognition, they sometimes brainwash you into thinking like the author bc u can't continue reading them without taking in more and more of their shit.

Oh of course. Forgot that books can't measure up to the cognitive stimulation of video games. Tell your friend to keep doing what he's doing playing video games "semi-professionally" and wishing that medication would save him.

he did earn money from it, idk how much. it was good for someone who's still going to school. and i do dare assert some games are definitely more stimulating than a lot of books.

You can also make money by selling organs. Doesn't make it a healthy career choice.

So: why not read good books? I dare assert that reading a mediocre book is a better use of his time than CS:GO.

because life is very boring if u haven't wired a pattern of self sustain. most people wehn they go through scarcity devleop bad patterns to cope. they get entertained by the same repetitious bullshit and forget about it in purpose so they can be entertained by the same thing over and over again. then they don't explore/ books are largely full of that sht. so are a lot of video games. i've been very frustrated with a lot of video games but also with a lot of books. anyways games do have the visual and auditory stimulation aspect books don't have. books also again try to distort ur inner self becuase they force u to imagine and think like the author. video games are not so intrusive on your unconscious.
jmy other LiI friend was forced to read 50 pages a day as a kid. now he only plays games and looks at memes and videos for entertainment. no books. he has no intrinsic motivation to do anything.

also you are ADHD.

Read better books.

Being exposed to someone else's thoughts is "force" and "distortion." Anything to excuse not bettering yourself, sure.

An LII became a loser, unbelievable.

And no, I'm not ADHD.

[VewyScawwyNawcissist]

bulgarians tend to have certain facial features, and the wrong ones are oftne popular. idk if its fatherlessnes, not being exposed to tragedy, or being taught or forced to not process emotionally bad stuff and somehow feeling superior about it, i dont see intelligence in those eyes or faces so its not out of it. those ppl are impulsive reactionary selfish lack self awareness and dont do forethought. i wonder if this means need to learn to meditate, but then im upset bc meditation is eastern thing and christianity bans it, why, i dont think its possible to be a real person unless u allow urself to feel. feel here meansi ntuition too. it opens to awareness u didnt have before, it makes u think, then it makes u overreact when u get hurt sure and this can lead to violence, but being impulsvie and stupid is somehow superior? why is everything so painful and cursed. wow i heard some idiot;'s voice misinterpreting it and ridiculing it without understnading why im saying it bc again most ppl live in memes. then that idiot says in ignorant tone because thats real a dumb justification. ig its also what people mean that some dojnt want to be alone with their thoughts (not everyone who doesnt want to for diffrenet reasons). i just imagine a parent doing something stupid nonsensical and unempathetic, with mild hesitation but no real connection or understanding, just to get it over it and push anxiety away. a kid witnesses that and the brain shuts down bc its liek "well ig we dont use those parts of our brain".
and why are ppl so bad at reading emotions. if they could read it at least they could mirror it from someone else reacting. and then it ocmes that maybe they aren't bad at reading emotions, they surpress it on purpose to avoid conflict and avoid being subjected to others emotions bc now u have to think and thinking is dificult (u brat but thats not christian and not christian means WRONG i can get berating others is wrong, but is turning the other cheek right? it made me and others so miserable.)

@FreelancePoliceman the way u phrased it is presumptive and condenscending and for reference some ppl will be alienated from u by it and not want to interact, which will also leave u ignorant and fail in some parts of the world which will cut off ur opportunities and u value Ne so not good for u and ur goals prolly. reading a book is no t the same as talking to a person irl or even on a forum. u cant ask them questions, ur not reading real scenarios, ur reading the heavy bias creation of a person's cognitive map and irrationality, and u are reading the stream of their bullshit on large texts on many sheets of paper continuously. i think this does something to ur brain - provided ur not able to proprely abstract it, which im not or struggling with bc of the context. for simplcitiy sake imagine there are several layers of control and processing. u read something, but what u read u have so many thoughts on, biases about, questions about, and ur not taking it as something like a law, a rule or identity. when ur brain is malfunctioning, what u are reading becomes what u are. u lose ur sense of self and what remains is what u read, and ur mind is now processing everything in ur life through whatever identity what u absorbed from reading created. in that sense u become posessed. i think most ppl are possessed and intelligently switching between understandings and perspectives to build new ones and gain better awareness is rather difficult this is also why ppl get stuck in patterns and get called NPCs, and can call others NPCs unfairly and hypocritically with lack of self awareness. maybe what im talking about can be realted to the concept of individuation, but it seems a bit of an Si valuing way to conceptualize it. i feel like Ne egos have some sort of stable identity of Si bias that they draw their ideas from which is related to why their ideas are restricted and they dont process information the same way a Ni ego does to gain the insights and ability to physically do things that are beyond what has been already established as a bias < where also comes the childish tendency of Ne egos. like they didn't grow up in a way but were intelligent creative and adaptable with what they had to survive and do something meaningful. for one reason or another the conditions where the Si identiy of Ne egos arent necessarily always able to be maintained and then pain and transformations happen, if not death.
