>>11342602That is extremely far from what I've said and exactly the opposite. It makes me sad that you misunderstand so hard as to construe the exact antithesis as my meaning. Right now he is escaping by fantasizing. You don't have the experience to recognize this scenario. In fact, you are actively resisting my words because you too are hiding, it shows in your anger, how you tell us to kill ourselves, how you hook completely false agenda to me so that you can discard it. The mind, including yours, is exceedingly good at rationalizations, essentially making up very believable excuses. He is avoiding his emotions. He says it himself, a permanent loop of fantasies. That won't bring him anywhere. He needs to exit the loop. Just be aware and alone with the core of his being, with who he truly is. He needs to know who he actually is, what he actually wants.
>state of denial and repress his emotions by distracting himself with other tasks that you arbitrarily deem 'productive'Far far from it. I want him to cease completely with any tasks that he uses to escape. Cease completely with any thought that he uses to escape.Then will his repressed emotions surface, and he can become aware of them, and feel them.
>you are also doing this, which is why the themes of emotional repression and denial are so prevalent in your post: you are projectingI am sorry, but it is almost ironic how quickly you grab at the projection meme. All the things you attribute to me you do out of desperation. I used to be very much like OP and so I know exactly how it is, that is why I have experience and from experience knowledge, which I a trying to give to OP. I don't care what armchair psychology you throw around because of course it's visible, that's exactly the topic I'm discussing with OP! But only applicable many years ago, and now I want to share the patterns that got me to the stage after that.
