Restlessness

[WorkhardParticipant 343]

Anyone else have general restlessness? For no apparent reason I can’t decide what to do today and just feel irritated. I know I shouldn’t allow the beyotch to have rent free space in my head but my thoughts still shift back to the other day when she texted. I don’t think that’s whats causing the restlessness today, just putting that out there. Just wondering how some of you guys cope with days like this?

It’s called successful dissatisfaction and it’s the reason that we have cell phones Motorcars etcetera. Sometimes dissatisfaction can be your greatest Ally it forces you to do the things that you know you need to do. I’m going through there right now I have to rebuild my truck engine and I’m reluctant but I know I need to do it. As far as evicting the tenant from your head that’s a personal thing. I got very close to somebody I allowed that s~~~ to happen, but it has been almost a year since I have been in any kind of relations~~~. It’s better to question things but not to excess.

I can see their heads have been twisted and fed with worthless foam from the mouth. Bob d

Misread. My bad

If what you are doing is working, do not change a thing.

I kind of keep imagenary “guards” at my “memory/taught gate”
If i feel that someone (she) is knocking
I ask my “guards” – what the f~~~ i am paying you for?

Keep looking forward bro / try to improve your self … gym maybe? Try to focus on your self – close your eyes and try to see your self how you look like at your best – and work every day to reach that goal

Human beings, especially men, are animals that need space and freedom, and the ability to respond to others that oppress them with force. Modern life is extremely unnatural in every which way.

Crucial question: Does this happen to you a lot? Or is this an isolated case?

If it’s an isolated case, then big deal. It’s just one day, and it’s an opportunity to practice an important life skill, namely, finding a way to be productive even if your mood isn’t right.

If this happens a lot, then there may be a very substantive conversation to be had. Some of the others will try to hand-wave it away with advice that basically says “do dude stuff”. But that’s not necessarily helpful.

Sometimes I do, mostly I can block it out.
My restlessness if from having to many people around me, the city in general, and excessive noise and light.
It’s called sensory saturation and hyper vigilance. I head out to the woods every chance I get to de-stress and “fiddle f~~~ around in the boonies” as I call it.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

Thank you. I didn’t have a name for it. Now I do. That very much describes it.

When I was younger, I used to get so worked up by the noise and chaos of urban living – and possibly the electromagnetic and radio static as well – that I’d have to go for drives for an hour or two or more almost every night. This was combined with anxiety from the same, as well as from constant drama from female relations. The two together are an awful combination.

When around said family now, I go for long walks, which at least burns the energy off in a more useful way. That said, I mostly walk around going “what the f~~~ happened to my city blargh i hate urban change and development”. I have long anxious walks thinking about the past, about mistakes I have made, and how much time I’ve wasted on relationships with awful, awful women, and pursuing awful, awful women. It’s better than sitting and eating my liver, and I suppose it helps keep the weight off. It’s largely still miserable, but less miserable than driving in what is now heavy traffic with morons and bad drivers.

Oddly enough, however, I prefer being the f~~~ away from it all. It only takes a couple to a few days to suddenly feel wildly calmer. No noise, no drama. It’s also amazing how much more I accomplish when I’m far away from all this crap. My days become full of activity and getting-things-done. I much prefer being isolated in the woods than surrounded by assholes and idiots. I find myself much less restless, and much calmer. I realize how much of my life is just pointless wasted energy and needless drama, and how much of it has been pointless wasted energy and needless drama, and I find it easier to focus and get things done.
