At what point do you stop caring about not having sex, relationships and all that?
When does "giving up" really become giving up instead of pretending to have given up while still feeling bitter?

How do I accelerate the process

SSRI antidepressants will do the charm. They kill your libido. I don't even have the need to jerk off anymore.

Don't they fuck your brain up? I need my brain if I want to get into a decent grad school.

I'm in med school and have been taking them for two years, brain works just fine

All you need to do is to realise that sex and relationships are not for you and never will be. It's like wanting a porsche or something even more impossible. It's just not for you. You have to embrace that and remember this simple fact every day: these things are way beyond your reach. You won't get them so you can just as well get used to the thought and with time it will become so implemented in your brain that you won't even think about these things, just like poorfags don't think about luxuries.

Good to know. How about the emotional aspect? Do they just make you numb to your sexual and companionship needs?
Do they have downsides at all?
>>18538332
I've tried thinking like that, it doesn't work for me. I still feel envious and frustrated that I'm missing out despite knowing that it's not for me.
When it comes to other aspects of my life, like my education and career, I have a relatively high amount of ambition and high expectations for myself, too.

Also I think there's the "natural" aspect of those things that is preventing me from letting go.
Sex, love, relationships and all that shit comes naturally to most people and is a normal part of their healthy lives. It's not the same thing as material wealth.

>Do they just make you numb to your sexual and companionship needs?
Not completely numb, I still get a crush here and there, but I don't spend whole days thinking "waaah, I'll never have a gf to bang" like I used to.
>Do they have downsides at all?
The first one I tried made me super sleepy all the time so I asked for a different one, now it's fine.

I'll definitely look into those then, thank you.
From what I can gather the side effects don't seem too bad. Nothing as life-changing as benzos at least, I can deal with erectile dysfunction and fidgeting just fine.

This. I had a low sex drive already due to other disorders, but these really killed it.hg
For me it didn't work until I had it. Thought I wanted a girlfriend really bad, once I got her, realized it sucked.
Happily single for three years next week.
