You can't control your thoughts

[.*my*.]

There's this myth that people believe about thoughts. They believe that you can "create thoughts" or "think positively" or "think negatively", but the reality is that thoughts are not your own.

If you disagree then explain to me where negative thoughts come from and why we have them. If we could actually control our thoughts we would have nothing but positive thoughts all of the time.

Thoughts are lies. They bring you down to lift you up, and they lift you up to bring you down. The way to deal with thoughts is to let them come and pass and don't believe them.

No, you can.

 

[.*my*.]

No, you can.

Then why do you experience negative thoughts at all?

I choose to

 

[.*my*.]

Lie. No one wants to experience negative thoughts

 

[Deleted member 6305]

[.*my*.]

You can

Why do you have negative thoughts then?

 

[CupOfCoffee]

Yes I can. I can choose to think about McDonald's and then proceed to order 5 items and become a fat fuck PUFA pig in one night.

thoughts are very much YOU, whatever you think about situations and how you would react to them says alot about how you are as a person, you very much can control thoughts or else how do you think we are even able to function on a day to day basis, some people suffer from mental disorders where they have really bad intrusive thoughts and cannot at all control them (schizophrenia, depression, anxiety) but a normal person is very much able to control the way they think, the way they feel and the way they act.

Some thoughts you can control, some can't, like you can choose what to think about right now, focus your attention on something, but stray thoughts might also pop up in your mind distracting you, like various negative experiences, doubts, worries, fears, etc...

True, but thoughts can only stay a few minutes if you're not actively engaging them. If you just accept the thought as just that and don't fight them or dwell on them they'll just fade away

That's why you don't let the thoughts you have control you and just observe/witness them

It takes practise but I promise you once you get it on lock you'll be at the ready to do anything in life young man.

You can whine and moan and make excuses but without having the balls to make the first step to growing you won't ever do it.

You wanna be a stiff weird autist nerd that can't make a girl wet all your 20s? Carry on the way you are going and be this black pill defeatist.

Awareness of the black pill and red pill is one thing, what you do with that awareness is the next and other

Most on here do jack shit but be nihilists. That's your op right here. Nihilistic. You learned to be this retarded way and the only reason you don't exchange is because you are only COMFORTABLE with what's familiar

Unbelievably low iq and sentience post.

Anyone with a brain reading that pile of shit you wrote would be disturbed that you genuinely believe that nonsense.

You can't control them fully, but you can to a certain degree. I didn't decide some of the factors in my life to exist, but I can control my outlook at life, a bit.

The easiest way to crush the negativity habit (because it is a habit) Is to consciously speak positively about yourself every day, until the wiring for that circuitry becomes stronger than the negative one.

I'd also add onto the fact that most of one's negative inner dialogue is a reflection of their conscience's dissaproval of their lifestyle. OP, odds are you dont have any true respect for yourself; and it's not because you're cursed to be a self loathing nihilist. But almost certainly because, on some level, you know that you could be doing more with your life than you are in your present condition.

So don't just try and start "thinking better", ACTUALLY DO THINGS that you can look at objectively and say "hey, I actually did something worthwhile today" If you keep adding responsibility onto yourself things WILL get better

Are those things gonna be easy? No. But you can either do things that are difficult and feel content and fulfillfed with who you are and the world around you. Or always take the easy way out and let that discomfort manifest itself in your mind.
