How do you let go? [Primal/Shadow]

[TimeAsylums]

Couldn't figure if this should go in Human relationships/Typology/or here, but it seems appropriate:

How often do you just let go of everything (not speaking of passivity) and for a lack of better words: go crazy? How, and how often do you let your primal self come into the consciousness, or you go deep down into it and grab it and drag it out?

Sex?
Dance?
Drugs?
Alcohol?
Work out?
Howl at the moon?

So, how (if you do) do you do it? And how often?

Maybe you never do, maybe you don't think there is a primal you, maybe you do it a lot, maybe when no one is around, maybe when everyone is around?


Hmm???

Personally, I like to dance a little, I howl at full moons, I work out (lift weights) sometimes, not as much anymore. I also like to go with friends to quiet/silent open spaces at the dead of night at yell at nothing as loud as possible. Sex of course. I did boxing for a little bit (it REAALY gets the deep feels going when you are about to get punched around)

it's fun to let go, and uh go crazy.

Thankfully none of my friends ever call me 'weird/awkward,' they just describe me as "off the wall."

I would probably watch the sky/moon rather than howl at it. Oh, maybe I should try to get a telescope. Wouldn't stargazing be relaxing?

I don't go crazy in the sense that I let my primal self go. I don't even think I (still) have him.

What I do do is go to parties, get tipsy, not pissed out drunk, because I want to remember the fun I had next day, and play comedian. Worked so far at every party I've been to.

And not comedian as in on stage. I just sit with people who care to sit with me, listen to their conversation, and add things where I would normally just keep silent. Things that are a joke 95% of the time.

When I am feeling very frustrated, angry or upset - sex is my go-to place, but that seldom works!

I do choi kwang do - it's non-contact self defense, but u get to hit stuff. I lurve hitting things when I'm angry. It does help.

And like you TimeAsylums, I also like to dance. I aim for 3 dance lessons a week, but I'm lazy and only ever manage 1, lol. Case in point - should have just finished a lesson now, but I'm at home on my lappy.

sit at computer and listen tasteless music, hope someone on facebook will be appalled.

Music. Classical. Nielson. Mahler.

I also highly recommend the Ring Cycle. Four, five-hour operas one day after another.

Das Rheingold. Die Walküre. Siegfried. Götterdämmerung.​

You'll emerge a changed person. We've only been once in San Francisco. What's fascinating is there are people who travel the world just to see productions, wherever they happen to be. We saw the oddest people from all over who came in just to torture themselves on the Alter of Wagner.

Unfortunately it's not cheap. I spent $1200 for cheap seats when we saw it. Next time they do it in SF we'll probably spend $2500 in tickets. It came by again in 2011 but was a modern production. You have to see a 30 ft skull dragon head of Fafner (fully articulated) to appreciate it in the original.

I am a huge fan of classical music - especially Russian but also German and Austrian. I went to Vienna and Salzburg a few years ago and listened to Mozart and Strauss performed at the Schönbrunn Palace.

-Sex... I was a virgin until I really wasn't.
-I really only head-bang at metal shows every now and then, resulting in severe neck pain after.
-Anything can act as a drug. Illegal substances... I haven't gotten high since I greened out during an exam. A nice little reminder my IQ is that of a lamp.
-I drink daily now, summer so nothing stopping me really. (sohardcoreyoloswag2013#)
-Starcraft is a sport. I am an athlete. Therefore, I work out often.
-What sorta moon we talking about here

In a social context, I honestly can't remember the last time I let go without alcohol. Now I'm no alcoholic, I just never let go.

When I'm alone, music and cute animals on YouTube sometimes make me tear up.

I don't go crazy in the sense that I let my primal self go. I don't even think I (still) have him.

Yeah I can pretty much relate to that. My friends usually get excited when I finally decide to get drunk because that significantly increases the entertainment of that social gathering apparently.

You guys make sex sound so easy. I'm getting there I think, not that it's the most important thing in the world and whatnot, or finding a mate. It just seems like it'd be cool if one were able to reply with "sex" when asked how they "let go" or just go all out. It's as if there's a button they press and have sex. Is this due to being in a relationship and having a ready supply, or is one skilled enough to go out and gain sex using a method that generally works 100% if multiple girls need to be asked due to being rejected because of the variables present at the moment.

Yes,

or is one skilled enough to go out and gain sex using a method that generally works 100% if multiple girls need to be asked due to being rejected because of the variables present at the moment.

No. I wish it were that easy. I get a very few girls. It wasnt my intention to make it seem easy, to be honest, I may have like ONE guy friend who can do it like that (actual playa ...lol). I just do what I can
