How do we know if our beliefs are truly real?

Look, when it comes to sex people have it or don't for a shit-ton of reasons. It has to do with how each individual feels about it. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong to have sex or not because it's opinionated. You can have a single conclusion, sure, but there isn't a right answer unless you make it right.

I have a hard time articulating myself well but what I'm having trouble with is I'm starting to come to the realization that all of my thoughts and beliefs aren't actually true and it's just a product of what I look like as a person, the body im in, and if I had the same exact mind but was in a different body I probably wouldn't believe the stuff I do here, but my mind would still be the same so if the only thing determining my thoughts is on the outside then does that make everything I've ever believed up until this point just completely false? How can anyone have a true belief and if they can how can you ever know?

Every persons beliefs are true to them as a byproduct of nature and nurture. Nature: your basic physiology. Nurture: your upbringing and surroundings.

That's why 100 people can have 100 opinions.

It's the same for everyone.

We just band together with likeminded people who most closely resemble our selves.

I came to this realization a while ago. What made you come to it?

It makes it really hard for me to hate any other race/nationality/culture because I know we're all just products of the environment

I don't really go outside and I isolate myself. After a while video games and movies get really boring so I've just been laying in bed thinking, and eventually I got to this. It made me feel very depressed.

OP I admire your honesty. I am in the same boat. I think it really is fox and sour grapes. I'm going to be honest, if getting laid was easy for me like it is chad, my so called "morals" would go flying out the window. I'm just being honest with myself, no need to lie over the internet. I am extremely butthurt that I am missing out on lifes greatest pleasure all because I didn't win the genetic lottery, it fucking sucks dude and there is no escape. Every day sex is in my face at work, online, on tv, in the music I am listening to and I don't get shit. It has turned me into a bitter human, so I hide being calling everyone sluts and whores and degenerates that have sex.

straight facts

I'm basically a normie, have a gf, and have cheated on her. I agree with OP because when you know you can fuck other people, sex with her stops being as special. I caught myself thinking "I could be getting buttsex right now" while I was doing her. It eats at you. At some point, just like with porn, you're burned out and don't show your interest, even thinking about breaking up because "it's not the same".

hmmm

for me it was partly my abusive parents becoming decent people who I actually enjoy being around. I realized that the reason they did what they did was because of how they were raised. Products of their own environments, doing the best they could but doing terrible harm without realizing it.

I think the best anyone can do in life is to recognize this, and actively study/resist the negative aspects of your own nature when they manifest themselves. But even then, is it simply part of my nature to seek such self improvement?

Such is life.

Forgot to say, she is not a virgin. When we started out I expected her to cheat or dump me, but I've been terrible and she never left. So I changed my mind and now think a non virgin can be virtuous and responsible.
As for how you know your beliefs are not excuses? You compare your info with different people, meaning Chads, old men, women, Internet etc. And see what seems to be the norm. For instance, I've found that spics aren't as annoying as white girls in most cases.
