Aging helps. I'm not sure how or why, but these days, I couldnl't care less about what strangers think of me.

For me it had the opposite effect, sadly. I was pretty confident in myself two years ago, but then I got covid a second time and since then I'm not quite the same. I get nervous all the time and feel stressed easily, which in turn makes me feel sick and sweaty, which makes me nervous again. It's gotten better through therapy, CBD oil and supplements for the brain, but I'm still not back to my old self and might never be

Honestly? Ate enough mushrooms to annihilate my ego and realized my self worth. I don't recommend that technique but it worked for me.

How much grams were needed for that?

[โ€“] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

About 7 for myself although I've actually eaten 15 and not had the same experience. Depends on the strength which is hit or miss

Alright, time to order a grow box again!

I came here to suggest the same thing. Ego death is freedom.
