Why You Can’t Stop Gooning ► Explained With Dark Souls
Have you ever wanted to specifically not do something, but then you end up doing that one specific thing anyway? I used to think like I just have no discipline, no self-respect, because I always end up doing the same thing that I specifically didn’t want to do. But the game Dark Souls made me realize that it’s actually not about discipline or self-respect. If you don’t have a soon, you’re going to goon. The problem with guys these days is they have so much
Goon going on because they have no soon. Most people have an eternal noon because they have no soon. Does this make sense? So, you goon until noon because there is no soon to just get it over with already. It’s done. Carry on with your day. Having a soon is a powerful way to live. You need to have plans. You need to be doing something soon. You need something to be excited about. If you don’t know, gooning is like edging, like
Intense and prolonged self-pleasure. It’s increasing stimulation to the verge of orgasm without climaxing to achieve an obsessive state of prolonged arousal and pleasure. It’s something people do when they watch their adult videos. You know, Gooners spend hours indulging in this practice, sometimes in a dedicated goon cave setup designed for maximum immersion and over stimulation. A lot of us are gooning, but not just in a sexual sense. Gooning is more than just watching adult videos. It also goes into
Mental masturbation. You can goon to information. You can goon about what game you’re going to play. You just look at your little Steam library. You see all these games like what am I going to play? And then you just go on YouTube and watch something mindlessly and do basically nothing. Or you know you goon thinking about what am I going to eat tonight? I want to lose weight. I want to gain muscle. What do I eat? You don’t
Know how to cook so you never cook anything. You just goon. You’re mentally masturbating. You’re edging without getting that final result. And it’s a real thing these days. You know, we live in the age of the goon. But you really need to just not give yourself all of these options and just choose one thing. That way, you’re not gooning and you’re making your soon come sooner. Your dinner will be ready sooner because you stop gooning thinking about what to eat
For dinner and just decided to have like, I don’t know, chicken and rice. Easy. When you’re exploring areas in Dark Souls, the hope is to find the next boss, find the good items. So you bear through the sometimes crappy areas like the swamp areas. You’re okay being in there because you know you have a soon you have something to look forward to and that’s how you stop gooning in life because when you have something that you
Really really want to do a lot like fight the next cool boss or make progress in your goals in real life. Then you’re not just going to stay in the stupid area before the boss hanging out and loitering and doing nothing. The same way that you’re not going to sit around and goon in your room and watch random videos when you actually have that you want to do. Having a soon and getting rid of so many different
Options so that you don’t get stuck by decision paralysis pretty much automatically makes the goon go away. This is how you magically stop gooning all the time and actually become productive. And maybe it sounds hard to do right now. Like, yeah, like this sounds nice and all, but it’s kind of hard to be productive. Like, yeah, okay. Oh, being productive is the solution to gooning. Oh, yeah. I should just be productive then. Oh, yeah, but I’ll do
It later, though, because it’s I don’t really feel like being productive. You say like, I’ll just try to stop gooning on my own. But you won’t. If all you think about is don’t do this thing, you’re going to do the thing because it’s all that you’re thinking about. If all of your effort is just thinking about don’t do the thing, you definitely are going to do it. If I say don’t think of a pink elephant, instantly it comes
To your mind, a pink elephant. But if you can replace it with something else, something more important to you that you actually want to do that’s fun to you, that makes you want to get out of bed faster to do it, that makes you not even want to eat or sleep or drink water because it’s literally consuming your whole brain, then magically all of a sudden you don’t want to goon anymore. You don’t even have time to think about
It because now your mind is occupied with something you love like building computers or working on your YouTube channel or working out or making good food or making your own business that could make you rich. If you had something so cool and awesome waiting for you, like for example, the boss fight in the swamp area in Dark Souls II. The swamp area in Souls games are always me because like everyone hates them and they’re so annoying and you
Just want to get out. But in that swamp area is the boss fight for the Abyss Watchers, which is like a really cool boss fight. So even though you don’t really like the area, you still go around and explore it because you need to in order to open the gate to their boss fight. You actually are working towards something. And so you don’t linger around. You just get what you need and move forward. And beating this
Boss fight is one of the actual important bosses in the game because you need their Lord Cinders to beat the game, which is an even bigger soon. You don’t loiter and make yourself stay in the bad area of the game like the swamp or your goon cave because you have something more important that is happening soon that you got to get to because it’s so much more exciting than what’s happening in this swamp. So like I’m not telling you to be
Productive and have no more fun in your life. I’m telling you to find something that you actually want to do that is actually fun to you that deep inside your heart you actually really enjoy. Right? I’m not telling you what to do. I’m telling you to find this thing for yourself so that you can replace gooning with that. I’m not telling you specifically what to do with your time. You can do whatever you like, but replace the bad habits like gooning with
Things that actually make you happy and are like conducive to your goals. I’m not telling you to be productive in the sense of like get a job, invest in the stock market, work hard, make sure to set up your pension plan. I’m saying that it is productive to do something that you love doing. And so replace gooning the bad habits with something that you love. That’s what I’m saying. If you don’t have a soon, then you’re
Going to goon. Stop worrying about doing what’s right and avoiding anything bad. The current state of self-improvement I feel like is saying like if you have even a little bit of microplastics or whatever seed oils or like if you touch your little wee wee too much then basically you’re screwed and good luck getting your streak back because I’m actually perfect and I never make any mistakes. Oh, but you failed. Oh, sucks to be you. I guess I think we got to
Stop letting these little setbacks make us think that we are complete failures. Men are supposed to be strong and able to do things like eat barbecue chips without having a big drama and ruining their day because they’re unhealthy. When you let it completely become your master, then that’s when it turns into a sickness. When you think that, okay, I don’t actually want to finish my ejaculation, so I’ll just goon and keep it inside. As if that isn’t worse than
Just doing it and getting it over with. Man, stop putting these chains of self-improvement on yourself and just live. Living to your natural rhythm. Even if you bust a nut here and there makes you the most lively version of yourself. Stop gooning and just have a soon and just don’t let small setbacks make you feel like you’re worthless. You’re better than your mistakes or whatever. Just keep going toward your soons and your goals. We’re like indoctrinated right now and we believe
That if we ejaculate then we lose power or something. So instead of actually doing it, I’ll just sit here for like 4 hours and not do it, but like almost do it though. That’s way worse than just doing it. You’re wasting your time and you’re getting even worse effects from whatever you’re watching because you’re looking at it for so much longer than if you just did it for like 5 minutes. You’re damaging your mental health more, which is why people say
Don’t watch it in the first place. My advice is that hopefully in the first place you don’t even get the idea to goon because you have so much awesome soons in your life, but you will get the urge. And when you do get the urge, either you got to push harder toward your soons and have more fun and do more stuff and kind of distract yourself, or you just got to do it. You just got to
Get it over with. Just just do it and then don’t stay lingering thinking you messed up so bad. Just move on and get back to pursuing your goals, your soons. Don’t let it control your life more than it needs to. The day doesn’t need to be ruined. Just realign and get back to your soon. Don’t hold yourself back. Just move on. It’s okay if it happened. Whatever. Just like what are you going to do about it now anyway? Just work on
Your goals or do something interesting or fun. Even meeting up with your friends or like planning specific dates for specific things, you know, just make plans. make more soons in your life. If you don’t have a soon, you’re going to go. That’s all I have to say for today, guys. I I hope you’re doing good. If you like Dark Souls and self-improvement, then I have a new community, and the link is the first in the description.
Take care, guys. Don’t go hollow. Stop gooning. All right, guys. Stop gooning.
