Was it all a meme?
it's easy to feel good for a couple weeks by exercising, meditating, following random self help books, doing nofap, or spending more time with others. ultimately, those sorts of changes never stick unless there is a major change to your environment (e.g. moving) or a major change to something in your personal life (e.g. a near death experience, loss of a loved one, arrest).

It was all pointless then.
Its always pointless once when I was 20 I got in style clothes and faked my way into friendships and parties and it was the worst year of my life the feeling that you really don't belong and you have to move mountains just to fit in.

Eh maybe I can get laid. Has it brought any perks or was it just horrible? I dont have any friends or anything yet but people do treat me differently.
Well when I was going out yeah I got laid it was surprisingly easy. It may make you happy but for me it just gave me a feeling of extreme fakeness and it was exhausting. I'm 25 became a shut in.
All i ever wanted was a loving wife and kids a mediocre life and nothing more haha I got a mediocre life and that's it. But always give it a try if it works for you then I hope you well in your endeavors.

It would be nice to finally get some friends and possibly a gf. These days lying is necessary to get laid.

Thanks friend. Is the mediocre life treating you well?
Yes, it's all one big unfunny meme, and you fell for it.

I guess I'm 25 other than work I'm a complete shut in and my work is a plant technician so I never have to talk to anyone other than my boss so I guess that's pretty good thank heavens for anime or else I don't know where I'd get joy from .

Lying to get laid. You hit the nail right on the head. The love you grew up believing in was all a sham
