how do i get freed from our primal instincts?

ugh!!! i really do not like most of'em... especially our instinct to be romantically involved. it is stupid and it kinda makes me feel less of my self, thinking that nature has got more control of me more than i have of myself. i also do not like being confronted by a situation where i end up loathing a person or something no matter how much i try to convince myself to not feel that way. there are still much more of our primal instincts and we seem to be pretty hard wired to them.

What do you mean by "freed"? You cannot lose the desires that are biologically programmed in your DNA. You can certainly avoid being in romantic relationships through isolation though, I have done it for years.

@Andromeda224 yeah i am well aware of that... i just wish that there is a way to not have to deal with all these... because they mostly are at war with my brain and they're pretty strong... i cannot isolate myself but i always try to suppress any sort of attraction but it's tricky and though i've been doing it all my life, i still haven't completely mastered it

@Rafa369 You would have to look into meditation, fasting and mental discipline

@Andromeda224 hahaha... funny because i am actually doing both... i am on the omad diet which basically is just a variation of fasting and i also do meditation, and i practice rhythmic breathing and mindfulness not just during meditations

Yeah, that's innate behaviour for you. You can try to suppress it, but it doesn't work very well (at least in my experience).

@SW-User i know... been suppressing attractions all my life and it just does not seem to make things any easier

@Rafa369 The only options then are to embrace it or isolate yourself.

hi Jay28
I recommend The Female Brain b y Louanne Brizendene. Is like a user manual.
Good question btw. I think testosterone is the responsible hormone.
Best wishes

"instinct to be romantically involved" is not primal instict

Rafa369 · 22-25, M

@Jentlemen well according to my book it is... but why do you say it isn't?

@Rafa369 Our "lizard brain" has desire to breed as one of the primal insticts.
It's not romantic
