  1. I collected data. I posted on the subreddit of my city asking whether anyone would go on a night out with me because I didn't want to go alone again. The next day, I had 17 random people from Reddit join me on the night out! It was unbelievable. I've currently got a group chat with 55 people wanting to go on a night out with me next weekend! I'm so glad I decided to start 'collecting data' for myself!

  3. I'm addicted to watching Dr K videos...

  4. It would be interesting if this video touched on porn addiction too. Even touching on fetishes that can be damaged like financial dominance would be interesting.

  5. Can you do a video about not having direction in life, being too comfortable in your current situation and difficulty achieving success? In my opinion, the opposite of self improvement addiction.

  6. I'm sorry but how does Dr K keep doing this? Somehow every time he posts it's always so relatable to my current position in life. Dr K hasn't talked about this stuff in awhile and neither have I but this last week I started getting back into this mindset recognising the negative and wanting out. Low and behold Dr K does it again and posts content that massively relates to me. My issue is spending money on women for pornography. At first it was thrilling even though I hated myself for it but now when I put myself into the situation of being forced to send money I just feel dead inside. They receive the money and I am entirely numb completely dead emotionally. I have known for ages that I use porn in an extremely unhealthy manner. I use it as a coping mechanism to regulate my emotions and general low mood. It is used as a way to pick myself up and supress how I am feeling. It a sensitive topic so it is challenging to just talk to someone about this. Pornography is the same as an other addictive substance in my eyes. I always go back for more, always entirely unnecessarily to make myself feel good for 1 second when the content I consume makes me hate myself. I feel a lack of accomplishment in my life and have used porn to avoid dealing with these emotions. This has caused me to have a general low mood which I show throughout my life in a settings in real life, not just on pornography in my room. This is not the true version of myself and I know this. I intend on working on myself to find more fulfilment and happiness in my life so I can avoid consuming pornography to regulate my emotions. I am in my mid 20s now and have yet to be in a relationship. I do not exactly know the base reason but pornography and situational coping are being factors that have caused my feelings of being uncomfortable in this topic. I am a general out-going and social person but I have not been in a relationship. Clearly my perception of how others perceive me is not true to my current belief. I know pornography has encourage this behaviour. I have more to say but anyways I appreciate Dr K for posting videos that can make such a positive change to the life of many. It is truly inspiring. Thank you.

  8. Eureka!! 22:39 Pain correlates with pleasure. "Increasing the pain from an activity actually increases the pleasure you get from the activity". This is why I seek to experience emotionally painful porn in order to have a more exaggerating feeling of pleasure during orgasm. It makes sense now! Actually I might be wrong. Dr K suggests to increase pain to feel more dopamine. What happens if I am experiencing too much pain so I'm experiencing too much pleasure, in something I don't actually like (findom)? Maybe I'm forcing myself to feel more pain to avoid the feeling of emotional pain, that I have from being judged for being in a relationship. I basically taught myself that I find something I shouldn't find painful (initiating a relationship) as painful because of high anxiety. But I've taught myself something (porn/findom) that is painful to me is not painful because I associate it with the high levels of dopamine which is an incorrect experience of an orgasm that is just not required. It's like the dopamine release from findom is way too high because it emotionally causes me a lot of pain. This justifies why findom becomes addictive. This puts it into the light that too much of a dopaminergic release damages me because I go against my true identity. I have to value myself over pleasure and I think the best way to do that is by learning to love myself and my life through new experiences alongside journaling/mediation/therapy. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

  15. I really think Dr K should do a video on findom porn (financial domination porn)

  16. Probably one of the greatest videos of all time?

  17. I find this slightly hypocritical. It's still a good video but I feel like it happens on this channel even though it's very informative and useful.

  19.  @Phooenixification  maybe it's something to do with being satisfied Vs chasing pleasure, and understanding which you value more. You can have all the materialistic things in the world but does that mean you are happy? I assume a sense of content does not come from achievements or making others happy but finding what truly makes you happy and experienced/achieving that. It's all about your wants Vs shoulds Vs what you care for Vs your duty. It's very difficult to recognise your wants when you don't know what your wants actually are. You used to believe your drinking, tobacco, ... were your desires but then you realized they were all mainly your emotional coping mechanisms. Then you started bettering your life and making others happy and what does this truly do for you? I believe now is the time to actually get out there and discover that thing that you truly enjoy/want. Maybe I'm wrong but maybe it is something worth journaling.
