Your title sentence - "I love meditating but I love suffering more" - is profound. It applies to most of us, but we'll never admit it like you have.

There's comfort in staying with (and indulging) the things that cause us to suffer, which is why so many are never able to break away from such conditioned behavior and habitual actions/reactions.

Don't be too hard on yourself - the fact that you are aware of it and openly discuss it puts you way ahead of the crowd.

Have you read Tolle? He discusses this in detail, and I found it to be very insightful. I highly suggest reading (or listening to) "Practicing the Power of Now".

I really recommend Eckart Tolle's Practicing The Power of Now (http://www.amazon.com/Practicing-Power-Now-Essential-Meditations/dp/1577311957). The practicing version is simply a practical, easier to understand version of his original book, from what I've gathered.

I haven't read ANY spiritual books before this one, and I simply cannot leave it alone. It's enlightened me in so many ways. From lifting weights, to be charming, to explore life, to sit home alone, to SLEEP BETTER (yess!). It's given me a new outlook on life that I can explore whenever I feel like, and it is great!

What are you interests? [Meetups] (http://www.meetup.com/), are a good way to start making friends.

Getting a girlfriend isn't as hard as it seems. It really boils down to your confidence level, but it's also a numbers game. (ie; the more girls you talk to, the higher your chances are) Check out /r/seduction and read the sidebar and top posts. Also, read [Models by Mark Manson] (http://markmanson.net/books/models) and [the Sex God Method] (http://www.amazon.com/Sex-God-Method-2nd-Edition/dp/0557036488). Another book is [Unshakable Swagger] (http://www.unshakableswagger.com/), I just bought it, but I haven't read it yet. I heard good things though.

Also read [Practicing the Power of Now] (http://www.amazon.com/Practicing-Power-Now-Essential-Meditations/dp/1577311957). It's a book on mediation and it'll help you relax and be at ease. Ted talks, [RSDJulien] (https://www.youtube.com/user/RSDJulien), and [RSDTyler] (https://www.youtube.com/user/RSDTyler) are amazing sources for motivation and other self improvemnt and development.

That's pretty much it OP, have fun and get to work! PM me if you have questions.

I second and third this. If a reader is looking for a more concise read to acclimate to the material, "Practicing The Power of Now" is excellent as well - easier to get through, but still conveys the message. And then, read the entire book to really internalize it.

u/elphabaloves · 3 pointsr/Meditation

I think a lot of problems with meditation arise because people don't really understand their mind and what it does. Instead, they just look at meditation as an exercise that can provide certain benefits. But, if you don't know the real problem that exists (in this case, your compulsive mind and its activity), you don't have a clear reason to do anything about it.

In my opinion, the best resource for understanding your mind it Tolle's "The Power of Now" (or, if you want a more concise version, "Practicing the Power of Now"). Another good resource is this free guide - it's gives a good introduction to the mind and simple instructions for meditating.

Most people when they're 18 aren't very interesting. It sounds like you've already gone through a lot of self-development, which does make you interesting in itself, but keep growing and keep developing.

It sounds like you're holding yourself back, you're taking the safe approach talking about topics and you're taking yourself too seriously. Here are a few books I'd recommend reading/listening to,

Practicing the power of now, how to be present and what that means

subtle art of not giving a fuck.

I went through a period of no friends. I have battled with depression, so I know what you're feeling. Unfortunately and fortunately, I realized that I had no real friends during a really bad bout of depression. At first, I felt really sad that no one cared. Like you, the only happy birthday wish I got was from my 3 immediate family members.

After a while of wallowing, I came upon a realization- it was better to have no friends at all than fake friends. I began to work on myself and had another realization- I could be the best to myself. Everything I was missing in my life(friend, mom, family, significant other, etc.), I could be that best version to myself. When I realized that, I decided that I would no longer settle for shitty people in my life. So, I began to be thankful for the opportunity to realize where I had been and where I wanted go to, as far as who I surrounded myself with.

At that point, I chose not to actively look for friends but to be open to the possibility. If anyone came into my life, I'd only let them stay if they supported me mentally and emotionally, made an effort to understand who I am, didn't make fun of me, treated me fairly, respected my boundaries, brought joy into my life, etc.

As part of working on myself that I mentioned above, I began to read blogs, comics, & articles, watch videos, read books and the like about subjects pertaining to mental, emotional, and spiritual health-

  • depression

  • anxiety

  • healthy relationships, signs of abusive relationships

  • mental vs emotional abuse

  • setting boundaries

  • compassionate communication

  • narcissistic parents/people

  • adhd, autism, and the spectrum

  • OCD

  • different spiritual beliefs(not religious beliefs, although world religions interest me as well)

  • mindfulness

  • types of meditation

  • healthy coping mechanisms

  • introversion vs. extroversion

  • being assertive without being aggressive

    Anywhere those searches lead me, I followed. I didn't do this every day because some days, some weeks, it was hard to be motivated to do anything. But, after spending some time forcing myself out of bed, and making time, it got easier. Books like this were incredibly helpful.

    I also began to see a therapist and healer. They were very supportive with my choices and nonjudgemental about my life and what I had been through. My advice is, if you choose the therapy route, please find someone you mesh well with. Don't stick with someone just because they are a therapist. You should like them and be comfortable with them. After all, you'll be seeing them on a regular basis and delving into some deep things with this person!

Heres the trick, The future doesn't exist yet.. Past also doesn't exist anymore.

All you will ever experience in your life is the present moment, Which can be easily ruined by anxiety over future events.

Amazing book

u/wattsghost · 2 pointsr/Meditation

I don't have a problem "paying" - some of the things that furthered my practice the most were books by Eckhart Tolle, time I spent on several different retreats, and the course here. I think all of the people that write, create, and/or teach something that benefits me should be able to support themselves just like anyone else.

I do have a problem with a post that serves no other purpose but to promote a product/site.

Watch this video. To reiterate PowerBroFist's point, if you can't be happy by yourself, you can't be happy with her. You must deal with your depression, my friend. Know that you aren't alone in that battle. Many people, myself included, battle depression daily. Believe it is a battle that you can win. And I don't mean to peddle pop psychology but reading The Power of Now helped me. Everyone is different but you may give it a shot. Good luck to you.
