    Hey bros, you have probably seen me whining in this forums for so long now...I am ashamed.
    I don't have a particularly difficult life (I could have an endless list of good things in it), but in short I can't stop thinking, there's just little pieces of peace here and then for brief moments of the week, I don't care about anyone, I have problems (bitterness and resentment) with every person I know, got really far from my family and most of the time I feel like a ghost to my friends. Externally I have everything to be allright, but in the inside I am in a little version of hell. I don't understand why I did this with my life and why I still do it. I still live with my parents and probably can move for a few months to see if that fixes something but in general I am just in fear and in deep hate for everything. I cry almost every day like I couldn't live without it.
    It has been at least eight years in situations alike this one, I've lost so much life. Sometimes I just run away from everything, make ratchets, treat people like garbage, act out, desperately beg for attention, etc...
    Been on nofap for quite some years now. Recently I began excercising and eating better. That helped. Meditation really did the trick sometimes and some others it just is a methodic, automatic nonsense.
    Some days it looks like it will be all like this forever, those days I just give up. I fear that I will continue ruining my life forever, keep losing friends, and not being in peace ever again but in those short moments that just go away like leaves in the wind. My mother gave up with me and I can't see her without feeling some disgust, my father just recently started having a relationship with me again and that's awesome. I have brothers and sisters but I have a wall of bricks around me when it comes to them.

    I don't expect for anyone to help me really, but chatting would be nice.

    I liked your post not because I feel happy to see you Miserable, but because I really liked that you acknowledged that there is a problem. Many people keep going through life never realizing they are missing something. Your feelings seem like you may not know the real reason why you are so upset and frustated, but somehow you do know that this is not you. You can do better and thats what you are trying to do, so hats off to you for that

    Also note that nobody is perfect. If there are 100 people visiting this site, 99 of them (oh no all 100 of them) have some issue or the other , thats why they are here. So you are not alone.

    May we all get the strength to do the right things and slowly but surely become the best version of ourselves

  3. You are stuck in a negative mindset and it can be hard to break out of. You are focusing too much on your own suffering.

    Everyone suffers. If you think about the people in your life and how they suffer and how this impacts their lives and behaviour it will go a long way to helping you be more empathetic to them and less resentful and bitter.

    Practice saying positive things to others. Starting conversations asking how they are and what they are interested in. Even just a complement. When we lift other peoples moods it can have a positive impact on ourselves. There was a study that showed when strangers smile at each other on the street it puts us in a more positive mood.

    I know you say you don't expect for anyone to help you and you are obviously free to ignore my advice but if you just want to chat about stuff feel free to private message me. I have suffered depression from childhood all the way to being a young adult and thought there was no way forward for me. But there is always a way out. You just have to be open to trying different things.

    Good luck!

    How is your nofap going? are you relapsing a lot - it really makes your life hell and hurts the people around you when you hate yourself. I hope that you find meaning to your life. God bless you!

  6. You are not alone. You also seem to realize that there isn't anything anyone else can do. We could point you to books and videos. We could make the typical suggestions of exercise, eat right, meditate. The most useful advice I've gotten lately is pursue excellence. I think the only thing that has any hope of addressing the issue you (and many of others here, myself included) is a close knit network of friends that are pursuing excellence of their own. As I suspect you've discovered, "just not looking at porn" is not enough. You've got to develop and maintain a fulfilling life. We all do. A life of dissatisfaction ending in an unceremonious death is the only other option. A fulfilling life is going to end in death, but at least under those conditions you'll be able to look back on something you are proud of.

    Shor term solution, you can go give a hamburger to a homeless man. I find that always makes me feel a little better about myself.

    I belive that doing small changes, those that we can accomplish might improve our live style. Its like in biology, there are emergent properties which are not seen at micro scale, but when you look at the system in macro they are so obvious. Fixing those small micro problems might cause sudden change at macro scale. We often want to fix problem by not going to it roots, and there is a reason for it - we don't really know what or where are the roots or even if we suspect them we have no strength to fix them, they are wired in the base so strong they can't be moved.

    I am.
    Thanks man. I am actually about to go to a local community of people willing to help others next week.
    I get what you say but what I'm fighting is the ever present feeling of that I have to run away and escape as fast as I can, with little, confusing glimpses of a very high and unreal optimism. I am on good NF streaks (ussually about two weeks each, sometimes more), and I don't look at pornography since march 2020.
    Do you have some example? I recently dropped videogames and I think that made a good change.
    I have been under professional help for most of my life, most of the time that helped for nothing.
    I am not arguing the contrary, I feel like an effing child but man, you are on the spot, I don't know how to handle this.

    Work on one or two things at a time daily. No one can solve all their problems in one day.

    What happened with that one gal?

    I don't even know what is the main problem but that's good advice. I have been with anxiety issues for many years now.
    I think I wrote an update on that post. After that night I got covid so I went into lockdown for two weeks (great timing). She texted me many days in the morning and I was really happy about knowing about her more and more, and that she was also coming to me. When those two weeks ended she told me she started to see a girl she liked and started dating her, and that this other girl wasn't into poliamorous relationships or something. I felt like shit and thought it was a lie but it was actually true all along. I kept in touch and tossed some coins to her, tried to get close anyways and told her how I felt towards her more openly, my bets were in vain, she will still be with this girl for the time being, but said that doesn't want to lose touch with me and that actually likes me back, anyways.
    I am in doubt about that last part nowadays... Anyway, if I don't fix the fuck out of my emotional shit I'm doomed in any situation that could happen.

    If she can just casually get into a same sex relationship like that, she isn’t a good relationship prospect for any straight male. The ease of which she sees the interchangeability of either gender.

    You think I would be into too much competition?
     
  15. You dodged a bullet because a girl you slept with and were getting close to dropped you so easily to start a relationship with another woman. That's a red flag to me. If you went into a relationship with her she'd probably want an open relationship so she could sleep with other people. She already had the "poliamorous relationship" discussion with the girl she is with now to see if she can keep sleeping with you. She will probably cheat on her anyway as well.

    I may. Sports always helped. I move a little everyday, last year I had started swimming and that REALLY helped but then covid striked.
    Thank you. I also thank you for saying a harsh truth to me. I have been like a kid most of my life. I would really have liked things to be different but this is the personality I encounter today and when I try to force a change it doesn't work.
    I never felt anything different driking it. Did you read other posts of mine talking about it? but no, I'm not driking much of it. I do drink coffee more.
    I didn't even slept with her. I thought I could keep that anyway. Maybe that's a wrong step, I don't know.

    Thank you all who responded and the ones who contacted me in DM. I am doing way better. While I still deal with an umpleasant way of living, your responses helped me to overcome a really dark moment.

    I will continue with therapy, sports and, most importantly, meditation, which is the thing that gets me going lately.

  18. Having an overactive mind that never stops thinking is a curse. I know because I have it. The only way I have found for moments of peace is to keep my mind as busy as possible. Working, playing, solving hard puzzles, reading, watching movies, even doing math just for the sake of doing it. When the mind is idle it needs work to do. And usually that work is consuming because it keeps judging you and your actions.

    Ancient Greeks said: "Idleness is the mother of all evil."

    Give your mind work to do. It will help.

    That's great advice once channeled. But beware the effects of training it for automation and restlessness.
    I am struggling with a short and explosive attention span (15 years of internet since young age, I fucked up my nervous system).
    My job is helping me with that a lot. However, I get it really difficult to just get it idle. It seems to have a life of its own and most of the time I DON'T want to follow its demands.
    Sports and heavy physical consuming activities like swimming helped me with that a LOT. I should go back to it if pools are open again.

    Bros some days it all goes downhill. I am scared of keeping fucking my life up forever. Theres so much going on in my head, imaginary dooms coming on and off and I know they are fake but I it also feels like that's what I am.
    I need a restart button, I want my life back.
