Seeking advice: Should I pursue intimate relationships or practice celibacy for less suffering and more happiness?
2024.11.30 07:29 greentea387 Seeking advice: Should I pursue intimate relationships or practice celibacy for less suffering and more happiness?
I'm currently struggling with depression and anxiety, and I'm trying to find a path to genuine, lasting happiness and reduced suffering. I've been drawn to yoga (not just the physical poses, but the whole eight-limbed path) as a potential way forward.
My main question is about one of yoga's principles: sexual abstinence/celibacy. I'm torn about whether to follow this practice.
On one side:
- Sex can be addictive and provides only temporary pleasure
- Maybe abstaining would lead to less desire and more peace
- Many spiritual traditions recommend it
- Research shows relationships and intimacy contribute to happiness
- I already struggle with social anxiety and loneliness
- I don't have many close relationships or physical touch in my life
Any insights from those who've wrestled with similar questions would be appreciated.

2024.11.30 07:29 eloquent-sneeze We’re meant to be Unique & Different. Don’t let comparison make you sad
 | This is not an innuendo. So keep such comments out pls. Look at the pumpkins, some are majestic, others not so big. But all are pumpkins. We too are like unique individuals who will fill niche areas in society. Don’t compare yourself with colour of one or size of another. This also shows life is not zero sum game. Some, are small and yellow, some only large, some only orange and one is majestic (you know which one). Accept that. Some WOULD be better than us not in one way but in EVERY way. In the end, we’ll all be the most important person for the people in our lives and many years hence, after a life full of content, we’ll all return to the soil. Being a medico is hard at times, this is for all of us. Cheers! submitted by eloquent-sneeze to indianmedschool [link] [comments] |

2024.11.30 07:29 Warm-Sheepherder-739 Musical &Julia - gutes Weihnachtsgeschenk?
Ist das Musical &Julia ein gutes Weihnachtsgeschenk für eher konservative Eltern, um sie so ein bisschen ranzuführen? In dem Musical ist eine Person, die ihre Geschlechtsidentität in Frage stellt und wechselt und an einer Stelle wird Romeo "schwul", bzw. fängt an einen Mann zu küssen.
Ist das eine grundsätzlich gute Idee sowas zu Weihnachten zu verschenken? Mit rund 200€ für zwei Personen natürlich nicht ganz billig und Hamburg ist ja nicht immer bei jedem um die Ecke, aber denkt ihr, das könnte in Hinblick auf Akzeptanz von Queerness eine gute Idee sein oder ist sowas eher Kontraproduktiv?

Hi Garmin Family
Today I tried to connect my watch to Garmin Express, but it failed to connect because it said Invalid sign-in.
I don't know what is wrong. On my Phone, is connected well Either in Garmin Connect or Connect IQ, both Phone and watch and account work perfectly in apps on the phone.
Do any of you have the same issue and how to solve it?
I already tried everything, a new password, verifying the email, reinstalling the Express, and all failed.

 | I love nails with this finish! Unfortunately all the tutorials for dip nails I see to get this look involve some sort of gel top coat and I’m allergic to gel. Is there any non-gel top coat I could use? Or some other way of getting the pearl/chrome finish with dip powder and no gel? submitted by hello_goodnight_ to DipPowderNails [link] [comments] |
2024.11.30 07:29 Neither-Month444 Should I confess to her? If no, how do I move on?
This might be lengthy so please bear with me.
I (21M) have a crush on this girl. We have been classmates for around 4 months now but we are not very close and would speak to each other from time to time. I have never had a girlfriend or asked anyone out since I never really found a girl I was interested in up until now. So basically, I have no experience with this sort of thing. Admittedly, what interested me at first was her beauty. As I observed her, she seemed like a nice person and had this cool vibe to her based on our interactions and how she carries herself at school. But up until now, idk much about her or what she really is like.
I haven’t made it very obvious that I have a crush on her but I would not be surprised if she has picked up the subtle hints of my interest. We make a lot of eye contact in the room even until now. We have prolly had 2 or 3 actual long conversations where it was all pleasant. I would not consider myself an oblivious person but I have a hard time trying to read her and sense if she has any interest in me whatsoever. There was one night I texted her for the first time asking if she could print me out some reviewers. We both live close by to the school so her place is only walking distance from mine. Anyway, this was just an excuse to see her and a happy memory of mine I thought I’d share.
I have 2 big “obstacles” if you will that is causing all this hesitation to express my feelings and would like to get to know her better. First is because of her two friends who she is always with. One (S) who has a crush on me and has made it painfully and annoyingly obvious to the point that there was a bit of an obsession there, and the other friend (L) who is the only person in school who I very much dislike because of things she has done or said to me such as disrespecting my family name. In other words, I do not like her friends and do not understand her choice of friends. My friends (who don’t know I have a crush on her) also think she seems different from her own friends. We all got along well at the beginning. We even went and hung out as a big group. But things have changed as time went on. I have drew the line with S and she is now moving on by intentionally giving me the cold shoulder and L knows I straight up dislike her.
The other thing is the fact that a month ago, she went to visit her hometown and got back together with her on and off boyfriend. I know this for a fact because she said it herself, and my friend (only he knows) also tells me that she does not even know the answer as to how long they have been together. There was one time I even overheard she and her friends talk about how they were no longer together. When I found about this fact a month ago, I felt defeated but also I found some resolve to hold myself back from confessing. I don't want to make a move on someone who is in a relationship even if it seems like their relationship is not serious.
There was also one conversation I had with her and her friends where apparently she had a crush on someone at school. I asked her about it and she responded with “it’s not serious.” I don’t think I am that person because why would she and her friends (L and S) talk about it with me present especially with S who had feelings for me at that time. Point is, her relationship with her boyfriend does not seem to be serious.
I want to move on but a month has passed and I still think about her. Idk what would be a bigger regret- to confess or not to confess as I am also afraid of rejection but also a part of me feels like there is a small chance. Maybe I’m being delusional. If I shouldn’t, I really want to move on but idk how.
