Are you trying to say minimalize your consumerism?

I never pay for anything that is free… I’m confused. Is the tip to not have two things that accomplish the same thing? A clock on your phone and a watch on your wrist? My microwave, oven, and coffee maker all tell the time. Better toss them all away because I have a phone.

I mean technically anything you steal and get away with is free so

Based on everything I know about psychology, which admittedly isn't much, this should be work and will be most effective if practiced daily for at least 66 consecutive days when you begin.

This last time, I went to the 99 cent store and bought a couple 3-packs of box cutters. I put one in every room in the house.

Don't do this if you have little kids.

Also, make sure the blade is retracted after you are done with a cut. Don't hold the open knife while you do other things. You WILL slice your hand open.

You're probably better off if you don't. I did and regret it. I've somewhat reverted, but still have trouble in some social interactions as a result. You'll likely connect better with people if you don't.

Don’t.

I’ve been around some narcissistic people my whole life and have gone full on “stone brick” for so long that I don’t think I actually have full on emotions any more.

I know I feel then, but I can’t express them. There’s a clear difference when I’m happy, but I don’t think it fully shows. It’s either there or not, and the level I show never changes. I can be the happiest I’ve been in my whole life and it come across as if I had a decent hamburger at a new place.

Be fine with who you are, if you accept yourself you’ve already conquered the world.

Try emotional labelling.. It's a really simple technique that can be super helpful in managing your emotions. Basically, you just label your emotions in a clear and concise way. So, if you're feeling sad, you might say to yourself 'I'm feeling sad right now.' It might sound too simple to be effective, but research has shown that it can actually help reduce the intensity of your emotions and promote emotional regulation. And if you use specific language to label your emotions, like 'I'm feeling disappointed because I didn't get the job I wanted,' it can help you understand the root cause of your emotions and address them more effectively. It won't completely stop you from feeling emotions, but it can help you manage them better. Give it a try and see if it works for you! Also, try positive affirmations. repeating affirmations like "I am strong" or "I am capable," you can build a more positive self-image and reduce the impact of negative emotions.

I found singing a song in my head helps. I'm vintage, so I rap 'Cusswords' by Too $hort in my head. Clears my mind right up.

Be sure to turn the volume low if you haven't heard this song before

Serious - take acting classes. I wouldn't change who you are, you sound fine. But if you want, learn how actors appear different to how they feel.
