Walking long hours

[Yakamoz]

Any fans? It is doing me world of goods atm.

I feel at ease with ever changing world, calm inside, and also puts me in a perspective that I always find within; that I do not belong anywhere. I have no real home, nor have any belongings. I am part of the nature. I should cease being in the nature, not in a four walled room with lots of electronics.

Only bad part is that you need a lot of money to afford quality sneakers, mine is not bad but could have been better.

Recommend it!

I used to find all my relaxation by walking through nature - used to. :(

Tips on shoes: Forget about fashion and buy only lasting quality instead. Saves money "in the long run". :D

I wish it did but it doesn't do a thing for me. Although generally when leaving the house when I can get myself to do it, it's nice to get out of these 4 walls

Whenever I am feeling very low and highly anxious I tend to walk around the city to burn up energy so I can sleep and to get out of my apartment. I like seeing city life weirdly enough, nature does little for me. Glad it's helping you in any case.

I ve been living in a metropole for almost all my life, (10 million people) left there to live in a 4K populated town (a bit bigger than a village) feels like a turning point...I can walk endlessly without seeing a mall or fancy store, no bad music etc, just nature.

I just had one of "those" experiences highlighting the trauma that living in a big city in this country means for me:

Was walking my dog - I found him as an abandoned pup on a desert reservation ~10 years ago - and saw another big canine running down the street w/o a leash.

My dog has problems with other dogs running straight towards him and so I switched to the opposite side. I try to avoid conflicts whenever I can.

While that pair of dog owners leisurely strolled by, I tried to break the line of view of my dog by shuffling his head with my knee a bit here a bit there. Its a technique I learned from a professional trainer.

Suddenly a yell from the other side - I realize those other dog owners live in the appartment under us:
"How dare you bang your dog's head like that. I've had enough of you! You are deranged!"

I can assure you anyone »banging« my dog's head with his knee would need new kneecaps after that.

My reply: "Wtf are you yelling at me for? And put your dog on a leash!"

She: "I saw you do it and I've had enough. You are mentally deranged!"

Me: "Mind your own business and PUT THAT DOG OF YOURS ON A LEASH - ITS THE LAW!"

Now her husband chips in: "Shut your trap boy!"

Me: "Come here Mr. and shut it for me!!!"

Half the neighborhood is listening by now and that was exactly not what I was after. Finally they leave and I can, too.

Just taking a walk with my dog turns into an obstacle race, trying to avoid charges of bodily assault. :(

I like walking in the nature, far less in the noise of a city.

I used to really love walking for hours with nobody around but I just don't want to go out anymore, really hope I will be able to again soon

 

[domedune]

I used to walk outside a lot. I still enjoy walking but I've trained myself to see it as procrastination because it doesn't feel like work. So I walk less now. When I do walk it's indoors back and forth because getting out and in the door is more of a hassle now.

It helps some but then I arrive home, have a wank and browse a suicide forum.

Something's not quite right.

Be careful. A guy on the Doomer subreddit got stabbed on a night walk and contracted HIV from blood on the knife.

A bunch of sad losers like us, but they emulate the "Doomer" lifestyle. Mostly young men who haven't gone full incel because they think the entire world is terrible.

I wouldn't call myself a loser

It's that you're waiting till you get home to have a wank.

 

[Pallf]

Maybe I could try walks again. I'm used to seeing it as forced exercise so I tend to look upon it negatively, but maybe I just need to see it in a different light.

Um, good for you then?

Oh if the key to life for a socially anxious, chronically ill existentialist was so simple to just stop masturbating...

 

[domedune]

why?

I trained myself to see anything that isn't "work" as procrastination. It has gotten to the point where I'll starve myself because "there's one more thing I have to do" but there always can be "one more thing". This is an over-correction to being a heavy procrastinator growing up and being abused for it.

"I am part of the nature" - that's it for me as well when I am out there. Though, I am a trail and mountain runner, less a walker. Being out there connects me with nature. It feels like body, nature, environment become one. It's all that matters, there and then. Movement and nature: the essence of life. Makes me feel alive.

 

[chloramine]

Unfortunately not for me. I overthink and walking can trap me in overthinking. Shorter walks can be okay? I really gotta be in the right headspace and have enough energy going into it. It's awesome that's helping you though- congrats on finding it.

That's it, no matter if i had a better day or whatever, here I am.

I wouldn't define us as "sad losers" really, we are people with different situations.


I'm getting more and more tired of going out,
i don't have any friends either so i don't feel like it,
just going out to run errands.

you shouldn't have trained yourself that way mate. being a workaholic sucks. you gotta let loose every now and then.
