If you are a regular reader of my blog, you should all know what I sound like in my posts and comics…I sound pretty silly (immature) and loud ( with lots of “!!!!!!!!! 
”).
But let me tell you something really surprising, I’m actually an extreme introvert in real life. (OMG REALLY?!)
Yes, really! Now I know you might have just dropped your jaw and need to find it, but hear me out on this one.
My introversion has been one of my major problems in my whole life. I had begun to think that I was socially impaired because of it, and spent years trapped within the concept that I was dumb, alone and different in a very bad way.
In a short set of phrases, being introverted caused me: social phobia, low self-esteem, and isolation.
In my previous posts, I’ve mentioned how human beings operate on these two basic emotions: fear of pain, and desire of pleasure.
So yea, basically we do certain things either because we are cowards or we are greedy for something. 
I’ve also pointed out that the fear of pain is often a stronger drive of motivation than desire of pleasure.
Meaning that people are more likely to have motivation trying to avoid anything that causes them to feel unhappy in life rather than the desire of something that would make them feel good.
Now you’ve understood that fear and desire are the two drives, how can we use them to our advantage? How can we use these two powerful drives and instantly create powerful motivation and passion for the things we want in life?
I’m going to get to the point right now.
I call our minds the torture chamber simply because it is a chamber that tortures human beings. Why? Well, because our minds are there to remind us how problematic our lives can be.
Everybody has problems right? Everybody has things that are upset about…in their minds. However, in reality, there is no such thing as a problem; there are just situations you’d have to deal with.
Only our thoughts and minds have the ability to see things as problematic and cause us to swirl into an emotional turmoil.
When we are trapped within this chamber of torture, we are disconnected from reality and truth.
That mental noise in the back of our mind can just be there constantly reminding us about:
- Our problematic life situations.
- Our pessimistically unknown future.
- Our flaws of health, personalities, intelligence, image, etc.
