What part of
by ParanoidilutionThese need to be pictures you took of sunsets you saw in person.
Did you not understand, you retarded, weird-dicked, little hare-lip?
Please take your irrelevant space consuming pictures off this thread.
It's vastly more powerful in person I think.
For me is therapeutic. I've been really triggered this last week, struggling with my Ptsd. It calms me and helps me get outside my head. Nature in general does this for me. Sunsets are one of many things that reduce my anxiety and regret. It just puts me in the present instead of dwelling in the past.
It's different for everyone though, I doubt everyone feels at peace away from civilization, in the presence of natural beauty like I do. Some people need the hustle and bustle of human communities. I get it, I really do. I do, however, think that any person who wants to find peace should try isolation in the wilderness at least once. Watch a few sunsets and cook over a fire and stuff. All I ask is that they stay out of my wilderness. Lol
By living in the wilderness, aren't you really just running away from the rest of the world? That can't be very helpful in the long run, because you're not really dealing with your issues. You're hiding from them.
WTF? Is the wilderness not part of the world? It's the most free place there is. There's no society and no conventions, just you and the elements. I believe for many who go in the wild it is not about hiding from issues, rather it's about facing who you are - alone.
You should try it Thrill, but be careful cause "a dingo ate my baby" ;)
There are people who move to the wilderness because they can't handle the stresses of society, or their own issues. Paranoidilution has admitted she has PTSD and is very likely paranoid to some degree. So, it's easy to assume that her fears are what made her decide to leave society in general. She's not facing her fears by living in the wilderness. She's running from them.
I bet she doesn't even seek therapy because she thinks living with nature will fix her issues, but it won't. All she is doing is burying them. As long she continues to bury them, and doesn't confront them, they're always going to be there just under the surface.
I don't seek therapy because I don't trust the psychobullshit industry. Call it paranoid if you want. I call it learning from past experiences.
Quiet moments with nature are my coping method. Many people have different coping methods. I do go on and face a society that I hate on a weekly basis, I have to. It's part of how I continue to work on myself.
But the issues I have are not external, they're issues and fears that are internal, and so a lot of the work I put in on improving myself involves introspection. You may not agree with it, and that's because it probably wouldn't work for you. That makes sense. I understand you are low on empathy, which would further make sense as to why you don't see the efficiency.
Many things go into my forward progress, and most of them revolve around the intimate relationship I have with myself. I don't need anyone else to tell me how I feel or think because I know it better than anyone else can. I make sure to spend a lot of my solitary time getting to know and keeping up with myself. However, is not about the nature, it's about me. The nature helps because it calms and centers me, which makes it easier for me to think, but in the end is me and nothing else.
