I remember talking to a few members on here about Cowboy Bebop. Some people might have misconceptions about anime, but one of the reasons why I prefer anime to not only Western animation, but Western entertainment is how they explore the human condition.

Cowboy Bebop has four main characters that have pasts that they haven't confronted yet. One character can't even remember her past and desperately wants to know what happened to her. Each character is affected and coupes in their own way.

An interesting thing about this show was how in each episode they meet people who have to confront their past and how they continue going on with their lives, being partly in the present, partly in the past.

At the end of the last episode the words you're going to carry that weight comes on the screen. What does it mean? That now we are either going to carry the weight of these characters (one in particular) or now we must confront our own past.

So that raises the question, can we really put the past 100% behind us?

I've been studying psychoanalysis lately and it's crazy how things are becoming more clear as far as my issues and the issues of humanity. We are all a combo of our past. When we have an emotional response, we've been triggered. Someone or something hit on something that connected to a past event.

It's funny, I've read a ton of books about leaving the past behind and staying present. Staying present is certainly the best way to avoid the pain the past that we've all felt (I don't care who you are, we all have wounds) and it works. But we can only control our subconscious mind so much. Our personalities are simply too formed by our past events.

So what does this have to do with girls? Like maybe your mom told you not to stare at girls. And as you got older you started going out. You go to a venue and there are so many hot women. You just want to stand in awe of the art in front of you. But, you feel bad and you don't know why. So you leave. That's what I am talking about.

A lot of our issues with the opposite sex stem from **** like that. I know for me bad dating experiences has affected me a ton as far as my involvement with the opposite sex.

So, is there a way to get over this? Or are we just going to have to carry that weight?
 

What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.

You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

There is a way to get over this. I first started figuring out how my past affected me when I was 14, and I pretty much figured out how all of my past events affected me several months ago. When I first started realizing everything, I blamed that person or people or situation for my habits and mindset. But I was smart though. I still also realized that because I now know how it affected me, I can no longer blame it. And so I started making forward progress because I built up the strength to swallow my ego and learned to blame myself for everything related to forthcoming issues in that area of my life. Just a few months ago after I got into a huge fight with my mother, I finally forced out into my consciousness the last bits of why I will always look at my mother as someone who still has evil in them, and I figured out why. With that, I determined a solution so that I no longer will fight with her or let her and what she has done to me and my family affect me. I had already done that with my dad a little over a year ago so my mother was the last step.

Psychoanalysis is very important, that is why I stressed to you so much about intuition. Be your own therapist. I have a voice in me that constantly asks questions like "why do I hate this person so much" and "why am I feeling this sensation of attraction towards this girl right now". Be your own therapist that you can use free association with. It is good because you especially know what questions to ask yourself since you know what you are feeling at that specific moment. And you can dig back as to why you feel that way, which then will lead to another question that you can answer. This cycle will continue all the way back to the root cause. I figured out and mastered my past, and because I forced myself to have the strength to be able to change myself and blame myself over other people and situations, my past doesn't not affect me anymore. Well, had it not been for my past, I would not be who I am today lol so I guess it still has left its mark, but you get the point. Ahhh, Sigmund Freud would be proud of me.

Now not everything from your past affects you right now though. There are other categories of psychology. Psychoanalysis is definitely a big one though and should not be overlooked.

So in short, yes you can move on from your past. The way to do that is to use your intuition and not overlook your emotions, sensations, or gut instincts, rather embrace them instead. Once you figure out your past, you cannot longer blame it because you now KNOW how it affects you. And at that point, if you are able to change yourself out of old habits, you have freed yourself from your past.

It's a pretty cool thing to learn because you can eventually bring up anything from your subconscious into your conscious mind. And with this, you can detect nuance in someone's tone of voice much better and read their body language especially well. Not only that, but it stops you from being manipulated by others so easily because you can catch what they are doing much faster than you otherwise normally would.
An example of this would be like how chicks get all these guys around her to do whatever she wants while still being kinda b!tchy towards them. The reason why these guys follow her though even though she may not be that pretty is because she is manipulating her body language and tone of voice in such a way that is purely sexual, which the man's subconscious picks up so he feels attracted to her, but his conscious mind can't process why so he doesn't know why. YOU however do, and cannot be subjected to such manipulation because you can see right through that bs, even if the girl herself cannot.

Another benefit is that you can control the vibes you give off because you are now able to control your subconscious more. What I mean by this is that some girls can tell when a guy is truly interested in them and when they just want to get in their pants. The reason for this is that she can pick up on the vibe they give off through their facial expressions, the look in the guy's eyes, mannerisms, other body language stuff, etc. and as such she will sleep with the guy who is authentic instead, who truly is interested in her. The guy who truly is interested in her may even be faking it to an extent, but is able to control his subconscious enough (because he is able to bring it into consciousness at will) to where it will actually change his body language, thought process, and mindset. This last part is really hard to explain so forgive me if it doe not make much sense. But basically, it allows you to master yourself. The reason why women tend to have much better game than men is because they are more intuitive than men on a general basis. This is because they are more emotional. However, because they're more emotional, their intuition can become more distorted and biased towards how they feel rather than a logical reason explaining why. This is why when men do commit to 'manipulation' as Poon King called it, they will always beat even the best women.

This is simple, but hard to figure out. I have some experiences that are pretty undesirable, basically things I'd want to forget. But the nature of how the human brain works does not allow for things with significant impact to be forgotten.

I do not forget, but what has happened does not need to define me. The solution is not to forget, but to own it. When you own it then it has no power over you unless you choose so.

The past shapes our view of the world, it shapes what sort of human being we grow up to be and where we will end up. You can't put it 100% behind you because you will always carry it with you.

This!

And you don't want to either. Your past will help shape your future, where you learn from your experiences and become strong from them.

The way I see it, if you put the past 100% behind you, how will you learn from your mistakes?

no because your past molds you. Some bro boy will probably tell you to forget about the negatives in your past, but the logical solution is to turn those negatives in to positives today.

Good post, OP. I think we learn so much about dating and about ourselves from plate spinning. We figure out what our preferences are for a potential main plate (if monogamous/exclusive LTR happens to be the DJ's goal).

What attracts and detracts us from particular plates? What separates the wheat from the chaff? Experience and knowledge. Make mistakes early and often. Turn them into strengths and wisdom rather than centering/hyper-focusing on all the rejection or regret that piled up.

You have to look at these past lessons through a different lens of gratitude, for those experiences lead to individual and interpersonal growth. It's much easier to move on from a breakup or dropped plate when you have a steady vision for yourself and where you're heading in life. Plates come in and out of our lives, the one consistent force is yourself.

The more self-reliant you are on yourself, the less fearful you become to take risks or fear the trigger that comes with potential loss -- you embrace the challenge and welcome the lesson you gain from every interaction.

So... yes... I believe you can learn a great deal from past "mistakes".

When you make a mistake or receive critical feedback, don't panic. Think of it as an opportunity for learning, and remember that the process of "failing" -- when you're willing to pay attention -- is often what leads to the greatest successes. Source: Mistakes can make you smarter (Psychology Today, 2011).​

A great quote on life's lessons:

"Of course I make mistakes. I'm human. If I didn't make mistakes, I'd never learn. You can only go forward by making mistakes." - Alexander McQueen​
