How do you deal with loneliness? I can't get into a relationship with anyone. By that I mean, any time in the near future.

>20 year old kissless virgin
>At least a year of hard training before I'm an attractive weight
>A couple of months to get rid of acne
>Who knows how long to overcome social anxiety
>Have no bridges or connections to meet people

It's clear that I'm not going to be in "desirable" any time soon, yet alone have a gf. I'm working on those things but it won't be another year at least before I have a chance, and that's IF I don't cave and give up. That seems like an unfathomably long time from now. I need tips on dealing with the hard loneliness in meantime.

Keep working yourself.

I was in the exact position you were in. I went to the gym and worked on myself when it came to social interactions.

All it did was get me into an abusive relationship and a ltr where I am miserable. My grades dropped and the little bit of drive I had in my hobbies are gone.

Instead of thinking that getting into a relationship will provide your happiness, find it by yourself.
>>
>>17260280
I've been working myself all my life. I don't know how some people can say relationships won't provide happiness to someone who's lonely and wants to be in a relationship.

I'm actually envious of you that you got into a relationship despite being abusive. I'd rather have that experience of being in a relationship, even if it's crappy, than not having one at all. At least I know in myself that I'm desirable to someone, not a completely hideous loser.

Your post doesn't really provide anything meaningful. "Find happiness by yourself." Okay, how? That's what I'm asking.

Learn to get over your animal desires and just focus on your own improvement.

Find a hobbie and direct your energy towards it. Playing music, a sport, traveling, learning languages, reading. There is more to life than breeding, and hobbies like those will allow you to meet many wonderful people.

How do you start viewing all the good things and not the bad? How do people become content with their life?
Lots of older men are telling me I need to just relax etc, but I don't understand how they just wake up and go "wow, I don't have that car I want but I'm happy"

>>17260198
But how do they accept it? They all told me they just did it some day, and that If I don't do it soon, it'll be too late to mean anything?

Im a freshman in college and I never have the desire to go to parties or go out with friends. Is that normal?

yes its normal

the secret is college is terrible but the ultimate buyers' remorse so no one will tell you that
>>
>>17260189
Best rule is to not do anything you will regret.

You might not desire parties but you should at least experience one. You can always leave.

Only say this because I had a friend, didn't want to party or anything fun until he was 27 now we're all to old to party with him.
>>
>>17260189
Yes.
Doing things because everyone else do them is fucking stupid.

do you think I've spent too much on gifts?

background: I'm 26 and I've been dating a girl for about 6 months

now her birthday is coming up. I went to a few shops and bought several gifts and, before I realized it, the total was $140.

I personally am fine with it but I don't want her to feel uncomfortable.

I can return a couple things or keep them for another occasion if you guys think it's too much.

she's not a gold digger btw, she told me I didn't have to get her anything, but I obviously ignored that. I like buying gifts.

Relationships don't work for me but I still feel really lonely
Is a waifu a good alternative? And if so , any tips on making a waifu type relationship more functional?

Why do you say relationships don't work for you?
>>
>>17260171
Why not ?
I just want something that won't make me feel lonely is all
I dunno , it's not possible for me to get a gf or get laid , I'm sorta hoping I can ride this waifu thing out for awhile then getting a relationship when I'm older . Girls then will basically take anyone with a stable job at that point

Can't get them . Probably ugly and boring

No sex ever...


If you don't want to read the whole story... TL;DR: I can't have sex, I have no desire for sex, all of society is about sex, wat do?

---

Anyone have some advice on how to cope/function in society being unable to ever have sex?

Because of medical related stuff my dick doesn't work. And even with testosterone replacement I have no libido, not that it would matter if I had it.

So not only can I never have sex, I have no desire for sex. I have accepted it and it doesn't bother me... But society in general.........

Everyone my age (early 20s), all they talk about is sex... The dudebros in my dorm I occasionally hang out with... The nerdy guys I play games with for hours every day... Random people I try to have conversations with in class... They all constantly just talk about who they wanna fuck or who they have fucked... Shit even my dad, who knows my shit is fucked, constantly asks when I am going to get a girlfriend, when am I going to get married, etc.

When I tell people I don't care about sex, about getting chicks, etc... 90% of the time they instantly accuse me of being gay... 10% of the time they just think I am a fucking weirdo... Because of that, I rarely tell people and just nod and agree...

But the topic is unavoidable because its literally all anyone else cares about... Which is normal because that is the whole fucking point of life to most people, to fuck and have kids and shit. And every topic eventually leads to it... A friend tells me about his new job, and how it gives him the cash to fuck bitches.. Another guy talks about his new car... And impressing bitches with it... Some friends invite me to the gym... So they can get ripped and fuck bitches...

I DONT CARE ABOUT ANY OF IT, but I have no choice but to talk about it with everyone everywhere.

Short of being a hermit, which I am already starting to become because I just avoid a lot of people at this point... What else can I do?

Thanks

People who have sex are still miserable
>>
>>17260116
But its not the lack of sex that makes me miserable, its having to talk about it with everyone everywhere at any given time and the subject being completely foreign and irrelevant to me.
>>
Gee, I wish I were you. I hate it when I'm bored and the thought always comes around of jacking off and then after that, I feel unmotivated to do anything. You should turn this around into a good thing because now arousal can't distract you. Plus just because you can't have sex doesn't mean you can't have a girlfriend/get married. There are some girls like you who claim to be asexual. Just let life be. People are gonna talk about sex for a long time in their young years but it will phase out with time. Stop worrying about it like it's the end of the world.

>I only like you as a friend, I don't know if it will stay that way forever, but at the moment that's how it is

>Damn why does it hurt that much?
Two reasons. The first is that when she says those words, what you actually hear is "You're not good enough. You didn't make the cut". Then there's the dissapointment. Don't know if it's the same for most guys, but I've never asked a girl out unless I was reasonably confident she'd say yes. Particularly when you're younger it's easy to get over invested in it. By the time you're asking her out you've already imagined the white wedding, pickett fence, what the kids will be called and how you'll grow old together. When she says no you feel like you've had your whole future ripped out from underneath you - whereas in reality it just means you'll be dwn the pub with your mates on friday night instead of sitting in the cinema spending a fortune on overpriced popcorn for some bird with bad breath who talks about her grandmothers STD's all night.

That's actually true, I've really thought about us being together and came to the conclusion that she's one of the few people who actually matches with me.
Doesn't help that we've known each other for a year now.

SO my ex has been posted a worrisome photo of himself. Yes i lurked... whatever. Basically it said he had a bad night, and posted a photo of him covered in words like faggot and other negative words. I want to know what I should do? I'm insanely worried, and if he's cutting himself, or idk. I'm just worried. he complained he can't cope because he just makes everyone mad. Is this a good time to step in? It's been about three months since we last talked and I don't know how to go about this. I'm also worried that his depression medication may need to be stronger then.

He's your ex and also, he sounds like an edgyelord and attentionwhore. Move on and let him wallow in his "misery"
>>
If you're concerned about him, I'm sure it's fine to reach out and let him know you support him. The key, defining trait of people who commit suicide is social isolation. When people have friends, they do better. The vast majority of people who commit suicide are socially isolated.

Sounds just like a huge faggot indeed, don't try to help him.

Since /adv/ is also into psychological stuff ...

How traumatic is groping by schoolmates for girls of age 9-13? I'm not even at what age it usually starts?

Anyway I want to write a short story about this (I have some outlines but I want to do research) and I'd appreciate any impressions/info on this.

Thanks

>>17260087
no idea about at that age but in general, women's reactions to sexual assault depend on the individual. some have trauma, some don't, some people's trauma manifests differently than others'.
>>
I can remember that there was one guy who would touch girls asses when walking by their chairs. It was annoying, but not traumatic. We just told him to fuck off. The other guys where too shy to actually grope girls. There was some fondling, sure. But more in a "pretend fight" and "mutual flirty" way. It's not traumatic at all if you feel like you are still in controle. I could imagine that very shy girls might feel harassed if a guy thought it would be fun to do that whole "play fight/flirty"- stuff they do with the bolder girls, with them. What's your protagonist like and what scenario do you have in mind?
>>
OP here.

There's a pic in my mind from age 11 or 12 (i'm a guy btw, was very introvert at the time, a "coward") but I remember this girl from a messed up family we had in our class. During break between classes, three or four guys would pin her in a corner and grope her crotch and breasts. She would go insane. Purple red, screaming, but it was like they were feeding on this. Teachers never payed any attentions.

Also we had cases when teachers would escort girls to bus station because schoolmates would be throwing snowballs at them. Well it practice it was more "show as many pounds of snow as you can under her winter jacket". IMO it had rather brutal and sexual connotations.

Any way to accomplish without social media. I don't really use twitter and that stuff because I don't find it interesting and it is kinda antisocial sitting on social media all day

been dating this really cute chick for 3 months, shes 21, we've done everything else but oral and sex. She's a virgin and doesn't want to lose her virginity just to anybody. She wants to be apart of a comfortable relationship before losing it, she said:

"i want security to know that even if it doesn't work out between us, that losing it to you was s smart choice," "I want to be at a stage where im comfortable with your friends your family and the same way with my people"

problem is that this can take a while, probably a year plus because this is a long distance relationship, she doesn't know when her self but knows it will be awhile. I'm not gonna lie, im extremely frustrated and mad and don't even know wtf to do. I don't know if ill come across a dime like her again, shes sweet and an angel and we're get a long real well but at the same time I'm losing all interest. We sexted a lot but i told her it has to stop since its getting my hopes up and pretty much that its torture to myself.

For two years ive had an extremely bad panic disorder. I would go whole days feeling like i was dying. It got to the point where i had to stop working. I havent had a job since december. Im on meds now and im feeling a lot better, but im still dealing with anxiety on a daily basis and ill have a bad panic attack once every week or two. Im not open to trying other meds or increasing my dosage, and dont ask why, its a whole other story. Im not open to it though.

So my question is, what are proven ways to reduce anxiety? And im not talking about techniques to calm down in the moment. I mean, what are some ways i can reduce my overall anxiety? To keep that fight or flight response from triggering all the time? Would seeing a shrink help at all? I tried doing that when i was in my state of two year emergency and it didnt help much, but now that its surpressed some, could it help? Any ideas?

So you have a disorder that causes severe chemical imbalances in your brain and you aren't open to changing or increasing any medication that fixes the chemical imbalances in your brain?

Nice.

Definitely be a shrink but like, also, don't be a fucking idiot.

>>17259976
sometimes there's only one thing out of dozens & dozens that even begins to work. there are perfectly rational reasons to not want to change one's dosage

Say you wanna look like one of those hipster kids from williamsburg, they'll know what you mean

we're both adults, i'm 25 and they're... in their 40s? what did they say, that college was 20 years ago for them? would it be weird to date them? they're my partner's old roommate (my partner's like 30). like i'm a poly queer but i'm usually leery about age gaps like this, even if i'm fully an adult and they don't have a position of power over me. like earlier i said that the only creepy thing about amber heard & johnny depp's relationship was the large power difference between them, but after hearing of his abuse i'm thinking back to what my friends said about being in different stages of life or whatever and wondering if they were right.

To those people who have adhd, what is it like in an average day for you? I have adhd and I cannot imagine what it must be like. Normal people focus right?

Also, how do you decide what you want in your life? I have a million things I all want equally so I find it hard to work towards any given thing and I usually don't end up getting into anything enough to make enough progress, usually I just do a base amount of researching before I go "hm, I really want a better laptop, which needs money, so I better figure out ways to make more money!" and I'm no longer researching how to fix my keyboard. Now add 100 things (literally) and flip between them every 20 minutes and thats me.

So how the hell do you just say "I want this, nothing else is as important as getting this in X amount of time"? Theres so many more questions I want to ask, but I have a feeling my post is already overwhelming to the non adhd'er (from my experience) so I'll leave it at this.

>>17260022

It only helps me focus some, so I have 10 things I want to do, instead of 50. So still don't really know what its like to only have one or two things to focus on.
