  • Law of Attraction is just a modern-day religion

  • I see, I think describing the whole universe as a god in a symbolic way can make sense.

    Anyway, the trouble starts when people go beyond symbolism and start asking for help, making wishes, and sometimes blaming this "deity" for undesirable events. Relying on an entity whose existence remains uncertain, let alone he/she cares about you, is like gamble, which sounds unsettling.

  • Thank you for pointing this out! Now I see why people keep downvoting. Imagine listening to a dude talking like that about gravity 😂

    At least it's good to know that most of us haven't heard of the "Law of Attraction" I was talking about.

  • I didn't think this would get this much downvotes. Maybe I wasn't clear enough, leading to people misunderstand my post and think that I was trying to prove law of attraction is true.

  • A combination of rituals, beliefs, and one or several faith-based divine figure. That's my take on religion, I'm an atheist, btw.

  • religion is about shifting the blame to someone else

    I agree, in this case, the Law of Attraction blames the believers, but somehow people fail to see this and instead think they deserve the misfortune because they haven't 'put in enough energy'.

  • You're 100000 times stronger than most people I know, including myself. I'm so sorry for all you've had to endure. It's strange how hearing about others' struggles can sometimes make us feel better, but it truly does.

  • My heart rate isn't always elevated, but when it does... over the roof. I believe those moments might be what they call panic attacks. I've noticed similar instances. Sometimes, I'll be lying in bed, watching YouTube, and suddenly experience palpitations out of nowhere. These random occurrences often worry me the most. Anyway, thank you for sharing your story!

  • I've taken a thorough blood test, x-ray, and CT scan. Doctors are like "It's just the stress dude, your body is ok."

    Thank you a lot for these suggestions. I'm gonna try them out!

  • Can social media and short-form content cause hypertension?

    Jump

  • Thanks for pointing that out 😅

    Btw you have a good point about this!

  • Can social media and short-form content cause hypertension?

    Jump

  • I see... Since dopamine, cortisol... from the rages, the pleasure feelings, and other strategies are tools that these platforms use to addict us to them. These neurotransmitters and hormones heavily affect our heartbeat, blood pressure and other heart-related things. (I've read the Dopamine Nation book and listened to several podcasts discussing this.)

    I don't have any studies about this, and I'm just a guy trying to learn more about these new phenomena that might have a significant impact on our next generations.

    Anyway, it's nice to hear a different take on this to not just blindly blaming the wrong thing.
