    No best friend, nobody to hang out with..

    My journey started 10 years ago after graduation, i had directly moved to another city for my first career. I didn't know anyone there and had to build up some relationships which is a time consuming process for myself.
    After a year, lets say i was about to have some relations. Then i moved again to another country. Again had to socialy adapt and create some friends, however my situation was very difficult there and i couldn't have energy to build any kind of relations. Another year and again moved to another city. There i completely lost it, became social anixious, even after several years in same city, i had only one friend and he had to move to another place. This was the last time i had somebody to hang out with.
    What really hurts is even my hometown best friends and family members had already forgotten me. Last year i stayed in my home town for 6 months, and couldn't find anyone to hang out with, even they were going out together as usual and never remember to invite me even if i asked to join.

    I forgot to mention that i'm married since several years and we couldn't live together more than one year due to my moving around jobs.

    Now i'm again in a third country with new culture and guess what... Alone with low social battery.

    I miss my family, miss having a best friend to hang out with, and forget the life loads.

    I'm seriously in pain fighting my addiction and years of lonelyness.

    I’m sorry to hear about your feelings of loneliness. I empathize with you and can relate to feeling this way too. I think that for me the lesson I’m always striving to remember is that loneliness is a state of mind. You can be surrounded by 10 people and still feel lonely or you can be alone and find ways to be connected. This world is vast and sometimes it can feel overwhelming especially when we don’t have anyone we feel we connect with. You’re not alone in these feelings. I think just the fact that you wrote this forum is a way you are connecting so good for you! Find more ways like this to help you break out of your head.

    Thanks bro for the advice, it could be a state of mind as you said, but it also a result of own experience and accomulations of different social factors.
    The point is that it will need a long time to change this state to a better one, and this is currently overwhelming.

    Thats a hard question, cz where i come from, you don't have the luxury of selecting a job. If you found a good one you just hold on to it, and it doesn't matter if it is suitable for you or not as long as it guarantees paying the bills (which is rare).
    I'm already doing something else now, but even this required leaving my family for some time.

    Yeah, I have recently understood similar lessons but you still need to be careful with that kind of mentality. How do you know you're just not being resourceful? How do you know you're just not being savvy? How often are you away with from family these days?

    Thats a good point.
    This feeling of lonliness attaks when i'm in a bad mood, but in normal days i normally accept this fact.
    Trying to change these thought in sub concious, so it wouldn't attack again in dark moods, a long process and working on it.

    I feel you lately man. Right now I'm in a flatline/withdrawal type phase and for the first time ever been battling depression. Keep pushing tho because every day porn free is a day closer to being who you are really capable of being. I know it's so hard, yesterday on day 47 of this streak I finally told my parents because I can no longer do this alone. But trust me man the benefits come in waves, and you might not feel them now, but if you can keep going eventually they'll hit and you'll feel like a sports car among sedans.

    This is exactly what i meant by this post,. its more effective to have someone to support you in your long road. Even if they will not know your PMO fight, but at least they will be there when you are fighting depression and dark thoughts.

    Take it as a win that you got free hours with no relapse as you slept last night. Now let's get as much possible done today and build another day onto our streaks!

  12. I'm lonely too, but recently I found one friend through a shared interest (we are coding buddies :))!. I am still living with my parents and they are very supportive, but I still am unhappy because I am emotionally dependent on them. Nothing is perfect. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I think to try to develop a hobby and go to meetups where people with similar interests go is a good way. For example, the Go board game is also really fun and you could try going to a local meetup in your city, or web meetup. (COVID a a b*** tho)

    The best company and yourself, when you're feeling good about yourself, hanging out with a group of people is just an addition. You do not depend on them to be happy, everything starts inside, what becomes outside. Make it 2 in 1. You're alive so you can think. Know that you can never understand the creator's mind with an earthly mind. But if you become a piece of life, you can experience there for what it is, and that is all, completeness arises from emptiness. We came out of nowhere and will go back to nowhere. Do not cling to your thoughts, every thought you identify yourself with becomes them. Pure awareness is the key to the reins of your life, NoFAP increases the level of awareness, as sexual energy is transmuted into your area of interest. Making you a genius. I don't have many friends, because most live a futile life, I live to the fullest.

    Appreciate the positive thoughts, normally i try to do that at the beginning, but when i'm tired and depressed it is really difficult to overcome that feeling.

    Well, let's say since this thread was written i have tried 4 times to socialize in weekends, planned for a hang out several times and got confirmations then everyone apologizes at the last minute for silly reasons. That complicates the issues, besides increasing the loneliness it also increased the feeling of rejection.
    Now i'm afraid to ask anyone to hang out. I don't want to complicate it anymore.

    This shit is getting worst.

    Believe me, your parents are the best support you will get in your life. Hold on to this grace and don't feel uncomfortable. Their emotional support is best real free emotions you will get in your life. Enjoy and appreciate it as much as you can.

    I thought that when i got my first career, i'm the best company of myself. After 10 years of living alone, i can say i could be the worst company of myself. Socializing is a human need. At least once a week you have to make a discussion with another human being. And when you can't do it, you feel like running in a closed self centered circle which doesn't help at this point.
