Psychological Low inhib guide

[lurkingserpent]

The goal:
Basically, you want to be in a state of play. Not aggressive. Not withdrawn. Expressive. Enthusiastic. Aim for a balance between simplicity, psychological/ intellectual depth, and humour in your speech - honest and discriminatory with good judgement. It should be effortless after training it - low filter - low inhib. Not desperate - able to let go off anyone's attention at the drop of a hat unless you are building a proper relationship. Emotionally secure - except when you experience something really beautiful, then it's okay to cry Some other things I can't remember right now like loyalty, commitment, reliability, courage are all desirable.

Pharmaceuticals:
I really like pregabalin and baclofen by themselves at lower doses. You don't want to come off like a fucking wasted idiot to everyone around you. You have to figure out what works for you. I'm not bothered listing them all out because there are 100 threads on here that already do that. The lower inhibition translates off the drugs a bit as well, which is terrific. If you have a psychiatric disorder, seeing a psychiatrist for it could help in this regard. Our shitty society neglects severe social inhibition though because of the risks with drugs. So your going to have to do some illegal sourcing. Don't do a bunch of random drugs, drugs are dangerous, you just need to explore minimally till you find something that's safe and enables function. Something that gets the ball rolling.

Drugs aren't going to save you by themselves, and you shouldn't be 100% dependent on them.
Stages of emotional regulation:
1. Cognitive:
Become attuned to your emotional and hypervigilant thoughts. Think through their significance until, when thoughts like that pop up, you can easily dismiss them. Build the habit of recognizing and dismissing your emotional thoughts. Try to lay out the patterns of your emotional thoughts. That'll help you identify them really easily.

For example, when my DPDR was bad, I'd know because my thoughts would start racing, trying to figure out how to resolve the awful dissociative feeling. Then the thoughts would fail to reassure me. Then I'd feel like I was losing control because the thoughts failed, panic even more, and get tunnel vision, making the dissociation worse. So instead of losing control, I stop, just say no to thinking, and resort to the second stage.

You have to do this with all your thoughts. A lot of thoughts you think aren't emotional actually are. It'll change your life if you do it rigorously and always reject emotional thoughts. You'll be shocked at how emotionally dysregulated you used to be. Especially, you guys need to get over your body dysmorphia. Stop being hypervigilant about your attractiveness, other people's attractiveness, and how you're being perceived when you're out in public.

2. Immediate physical emotional regulation
-Throw cold water on your face – mammalian dive reflex, parasympathetic nervous system activation
-Grounding – list sensory things around you. Draws attention outward.
-Breathing exercises – I use my watch for that, which vibrates in a certain rhythm you need to align with. It stimulates your vagus nerve and increases parasympathetic activity.
-Humming, singing, or doing a Valsalva manoeuvre also stimulates your vagus nerve, and heat and cold.
-Physical activity + environment change - get some fresh air
-I'll take propranolol if I'm really freaking out.

3. Long term improvement:
-Professional help: Therapy.

-Cut stimulants: That helped me.

-Don't overexercise.

-Diet: This has probably had the biggest impact, to be honest. Try loads of elimination diets. I found one that makes me feel really happy, which is something I never really felt before. I was just eating a strict low-histamine diet 2 meals a day, oatmeal with fruit and eggfried rice, salad, or steak for dinner. I've expanded the diet again but I was like the happiest I ever felt while on that. I felt so excited about life.

-Improve your sleep: One thing you don't hear about often in this regard is having a good bed setup, so research that.

-Meditation: It mostly helps me with executive function and kind of automatically does stages 1 and 2 by reinforcing the habits behind them. I think that's the mechanism behind "enlightenment", though I'm just presuming that I don't really know. Better cognitive habits have made me feel dramatically more mature and changed my life is all I know. Fixed psychiatric disorders damn near by itself.

-Diaphragmatic breathing + proper teeth posture - chest breathing + teeth clenching or bracing chronically with cause muscle tension.

-Have good posture, proper strength, stretching, and use heat on tense areas.

-Increase your dimorphism and combat ability: It changes how you perceive yourself in social situations. Use looksmaxxing to do this.

-Vocal training: Vocal performance is really important. Also can increase dimorphism. Build vocal weight and lower your largynx but not forcefully as much as possible and you'll sound like a new man or at least I did, but I had weak fold closure and tension in my largynx. Use small dog big dog, resonance training and that type of stuff.

-Being able to dance and sing is helpful.

-psychological stuff: Learning body language, and love languages. Don't be anxious or avoidant attachment style. Dispense with your enneagram conflict. Ascend ken Wilbur's levels of maturity, learn to act, learn about psychiatric disorders, learn about ego, archetypes, think about your relationship to everything in your life - what are the patterns, write stories.

-Practice and reflection (extremely important): Even if you hate yourself, go out to bars on inhibition meds on the weekend and gradually increase the courage of your social behaviour. You control the emotional thoughts cognitively and physically as you progress, no rumination if you did something bad or weird - you can figure that out later and the social landscape is completely adaptive unless you murder someone, so don't do that, but even still you could probably just move country. Social stakes are quite negligible outside of legality. Even if you do something insanely cringe and it gets blasted on social media, it really won't affect your interpersonal potential in the long term. Your family might hate you though, stakes are higher in that scenario, or with established relationships that you value deeply, so they need to be respected, but your still quite adaptive to them as well. Getting rejected by girls is not scary, they'll give you an obvious indicator of interest or disinterest if they like you to don't 95% of the time. Random number I made up. The other times they'll explicitly reject you, or confuse you. If your getting rejected repeated, call it a night, you're emotionality will start taking over in that case and you'll start desperately attention seeking, and that will make you a rejection magnet, or you might get lucky but your emotions will still permeate the good exchange.

No tldr fuck you. I've been awake for like 30 hours.
Sorry if this is retarded or badly written. Having a rough time with my headache/ pain condition right now.

did this helped u?

did this helped u?

Started doing it properly a couple months ago only. Still dealing with my pain condition so I've been inconsistent. It's been monumental though so far. I can't communicate it without explaining out how bad I was before. Like literally never participate in any conversation, fully monotone rational speak, extremely autistic. Since I figured this out, I've went out to bars some weekends. Pretty much go up to every girl in the bar acting like a crazy person, it's pretty fun. I have low dimorphism and I'm 6 foot tall. I got a decent amount of attention from girls. Weirdly it seemed to work out more when they instigated the interaction. I was having a bad night one night, and this Spanish girl took my hand, we started dancing, I told her I think she's beautiful, then we started making out, we danced all night. That was a wonderful night. Saint Patrick's day in ireland. Before that I literally spent everyday in my room no friends. Never talking to anyone ever.

just means you’re low t

Retarded facile response. Being emotional isn't exclusive to low testosterone. It can also manifest in fragile ego, volatility, and aggression, especially with the roided guys, which is one of the reasons it's retarded to do roids cause it permanently alters your brain. Though, My issue was more about withdrawal. My testosterone isn't the highest or the lowest. It was 650 when I got it checked last month, and I'm not even healthy so it could definitely increase. My dimorphism is low, but primarily I have a pain condition and anxiety disorders. And the anxiety and pain are interrelated.

i’m not reading all that

you just didn’t produce enough testosterone during your growing years to be considered high t

if you were high t you wouldn’t need these garbage drugs to be ‘low inhib’ lol

High t is a really undeveloped social ideal. That's really telling of the culture that permeates this looksmaxxing philosophy. There's lots of problems with it. Being dominant or aggressive isn't always ideal. It's rarely ideal actually. Being in a state of play is ideal. Being smart is ideal. Being emotionally smart is ideal. Being honest is ideal.

Those drugs aren't garbage either. Good safety profile. Effective at lowering emotional reactivity. No scientific basis, just throwing retarded claims out like you know anything. When you totally confused. Also the post was about psychology not drugs. I skipped through that part.

 

[lurkingserpent]

I forgot to write this in there, but obviously there's no psychological literature or anything cited. It's just ideas I've synthesized throughout my life from various sources.

high t doesn’t promote “aggression” despite the stereotype

someone with healthy testosterone levels is usually more decisive and willing to take action instead of sitting around making excuses

you have a hormone issue

these drugs or any of these psychological “mind games” won’t fix your high inhib

 

[them streets b cold]

im not trying to be a asshole but i think this is too complicated and people who are truly low inhib didnt have to go through all of that to become who they are

I'm not saying high t necessarily means aggression. It also doesn't necessarily mean low emotionality is the point. It's a correlation as I said. You are explaining a subject with 1 dimensional analysis.

If what your saying is true, then the lowest inhib people would be the biggest chads. The lowest inhib people are comedians and most comedians aren't chads so your wrong.

Why are you presuming it doesn't work? I know it does. I don't know the relative important of each tool I layed out, but it's transformative for emotionality in general. It makes me feel happy. I feel happy even though I live with chronic pain. My life is unbearably exciting.

I'm not saying you need to do everything I layed out. That's just all the psychological tools I know to lower inhib. It goes 1 drugs 2 cognitive habits 3 physical regulation 4 long term lifestyle changes, and skills. You only need to work on them insofar as your unhappy with your social condition which is kind of the point of this forum I thought, to advance yourself socially.

 

[lurkingserpent]

1 pattern with social inhibition you should be familiar with is your reaction to ambiguous stimuli. Do you feel insecure when someone doesn't show you attention all the time. Do you feel like trivial nuances of interactions are reflections of your lower social condition. Stop reacting and perceiving it like that. Recognize ambiguous stimuli.
