Why do people need to gather in a place to celebrate themselves I don't understand it. I've never understood why people flock to crowds of other people in such a way. Do any of you gather in these like mass cultural gathering things like festivals and ings like that? If so which ones and why?
I've been to some. They were pagan gatherings. I went with my classmates and teacher when I was in wiccan classes. I love to camp. I do that anyway because I like it. I also attened out of town festivals because my husband was part of a band that was entertaining at the festival. They are usually a good time if you like camping and partying. They also can give you a sense of community; of living with like minded people for a short while. The ones I've been to are clothing optional, the have workshops and classes, crafts, music, etc. I think they serve to provide a glimpse of eutopia for a few days. They are a place of freedom from Babylon. Also, when you go back year after year, it's like a family reunion.
Humans, for the most part, love to be surrounded by like minded folks. Day to day we are around a ton of assholes and nut jobs, it's nice to get together with a bunch of people all into the same type of things. I've been going to Terrapin Hill Farms festivals for years. It's become an annual retreat that I take to remind myself that there are still a lot of awesome people out there.
Comradery, it's a natural craving for us humans. It feels good to be around other's that agree with you and like you. Makes me feel happy at least.
"... it's nice to get together with a bunch of people all into the same type of things." "It feels good to be around other's that agree with you and like you." See.... This is why I live alone and never go anywhere.
It's imprinted in the human mind, a desire to find others that see the world in a similar way. Only natural ~ also natural to not desire that hah
I like being with other people of like-mind.I love parties gigs and festivals and milling about with the general public.Unfortunately these past few years I have developed a panic-attack disorder for which I have to take a chill-pill called Benzodiazapine.(Can't spell it right...) This limits the amount I can spend out in crowded situations with strangers...It's the biggest problem in my life and I'm considering having hypnosis to see if I can shift it.
Fairlight, you might try some EFT tapping. I like the guy below. He has more videos too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajW1b-6jgJY"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajW1b-6jgJY
Are we thinking about the same Tyrsonwwod here,Aerianne? The one who shuffles to the entrance of his cave,flings some shit at the tourists and shouts "Gercha,ya losers!" before shuffling back inside and licking the walls? THAT tyr? [:love:]
So do you keep in touch with the people u meet or is it like summer camp and u only see them during the gathering
yearly family reunions are good it keeps most the fucktards away for the rest of the year after they spend a day bragging about their shit and talking about how wonderful their little bastard children are
If I take one or two chill-pills before I go out I am fine.They work!But I only get 30 pills a month and only that because my doctor is kind to me.Also you build up tolerance to the pill over time so you need more milligrams - it's a bit of a trap.Thank God they are still working and this allows me some quality of life.I hear in the States some people are on up to 10 milligrams a day? Doctors in Britain are very reluctant to give them out so I think I want to deal with my problem at the root cause...Over time...amd shift it with mind-power...like a mind over matter thing.
Being a car guy I love to go to car shows. There I can spend the day talking to other car folk about their cars and mine.
I tried to be a one man orgy for many years. But I realised that sometimes it takes 3 to orgy. We're social beasts. I mean you're on a public forum bullshitting right now.
I don't enjoy being alone in large crowds. I do go to a couple arts and crafts festivals a year to see what other people are making. Personally I would rather be out in nature somewhere or home working on my projects. I get more out of visiting and talking with one or two people than I do from a milling crowd.
some people have an emotional need for the companionship of others. the rest the ones who do coerce into imagining the do also. on a very few of us that doesn't entirely work, for the simple reason that we have an equal or stronger emotional need for lots of lovely quiet and solitude.
