the state of being paralyzed by suffering from some sort of past trauma or abuse, whether mentally, emotionally, or physically.
David, I suffer from mental paralysis, because I was a victim of domestic violence.
When two choices are presented to you, and you realize that choosing one thing does not have to exclude also choosing the other thing.

Simply striving to be the best version of yourself.
Eg. I wouldn’t have gotten this far without the use of Mamba mentality.
Also known as the small dog mentality; A shorter individual who is exceptionally loud and aggressive - usually to taller people - due to insecurities about being short and presumptions about the tall person judging this.

The occurrence of temporarily forgetting something that's in the back of your mind, somewhere. An embarrassing situation encountered when required to remember somebody’s name or when you’re a quiz show contestant.
Oh man! I thought a phrase to look up on UD earlier, but now that I'm on the site I can’t remember what the hell it was. Damn mental blank!

When you are an original gangster (OG) and you get together to gang up on an outsider together with the sole purpose of defending the gang no matter what.

Pondering philosophical questions, which may be enjoyable, yet are so removed from reality, or experience that they have no practical use.
Someone that thinks of far out 'what if' questions
Note- Not all philosophy is mental masterbation.
"Today we spent three hours mentally masterbating to Kant's critique of pure reason"
"I got a degree in mental masterbation!" someone graduating with a degree in rhetoric, philosophy, anthropolgy, multicultural studies, etc
