For context I broke up with my ex who i had been friends with for about 4 years around 2 years ago. I always had plans for getting a good job, studying and having a family but with her I felt more "free" since I had more experience/connection with her. Ever since it ended it feels like the only girl i'm going to be in a relationship with is someone that I can sort of tolerate just to get by while i focus on my career etc. It's probably normal to feel this way and also probably unreasonable to some extent but I do believe the way your first relationship pans out determines how the rest go somewhat. A lot of what I experienced with her shaped my personality and the things i like to do as well so that probably strengthens it
>>
yes sorta. its obviously an imprinted memory. but people are able to find a similar connection
>>
>>31274444
No such thing as a "first" love. It is either your love, or a whore. If you didn't kill yourself within a week of breaking up then you did not love her.
>>
>>31274444
Why'd you break up? Sounds like you want her back
>>
>>31274464
we met based on a similar interest and the thing that made it work wasnt that we had a lot in common, in fact if anything we were kind of like the opposites of each other but we had an incredibly good chemistry together as in we could talk for hours about basically anything and somehow not get bored, just really enjoyed each other's company

eventually after like a year she just did a complete 180 and revealed a ton of shit i didnt know and became a completely different person i had to be super careful around. i really didnt like hanging out with her then because she was incredibly emotionally fragile and the exact opposite of the person i had been crushing on but i wanted to believe deep down she was still the girl i loved hanging out with even though i knew deep down that wasnt the case

after a while things got more "calm" (best way to describe it) and eventually i confessed and that was honestly when our relationship was at it's most peaceful since it was like finally getting together with a childhood friend. We'd sometimes just lay in bed together all day and it was just us since we both didnt really know anybody else

then after a while it started back but i was more supportive and tried my best to calm her down but her episodes would start randomly and sometimes i thought she was doing it on purpose. I think she was a very attention starved person to the post where she was addicted because it was implied her parents/friends neglected her. it got to the point where she tried suicide multiple times but she refused to go to therapy and i couldnt deal with it anymore. it didnt help either because one of my other friends at the time who was also friends with her mocked me for trying to help her (that's a whole nother story)

>>31274444
First love doesn’t fuck you up for the rest of your life no. You get to an age where you realise your first “love” wasn’t love at all, it was just two retards drunk with youth who tried to make a crude dopamine high mimicry of love and it failed, as expected.

So the amazing weekend that I had planned with my bf fell apart because his wife snooped through his phone and she saw our messages. She blew up my phone screaming at me and blubbering, calling me an evil whore and a homewrecker. I put so much effort into preparing for a whole weekend with him, mentally, emotionally, physically and it all went to shit! I was devastated to say the least. I have been contemplating so many things this week. I feel like I'm choosing between staying with my bf, which is painful right now, and breaking it off, which would be monumentally painful. I love this man. He is the best sex I've ever had. Yet, I struggle because I know my worth. I know I deserve more than what he can give me. I was with bf because it worked and because I like my freedom too. I have no guilt for the situation. I just wish last weekend never happened. Yet here we are. How do I stay strong through all of this?

His wife is gorgeous, actually. I couldn't help but look up her Facebook profile and I was surprised he'd want to have anything to do with me when she's so beautiful. I realized later that he liked me because I was more attentive to his feelings and needs and that made our connection was stronger.

The "I don't want to kill myself cause my mom will be sad" is now fading. I'm scared and happy at the same time? I've been testing the door and belt way. Seems like my mind doesn't really fight back to this method. Debating now where to do it when my mind is fully made up about it, but Where's a good location? motel? Home is out of the question.

You did not consent to be born. Tell your mom to give you allowance money for Heroin and to let you be a leech. fuck the 9-5 rat race. If she says no then do whatever you want but you are kinda selfish if you don't ask for drugs to stay alive. thats what I did when I was suicidal and now decades later I just pretend I'm still depressed so I keep getting drug money and shelter so I don't have to kill myself as I get kicked out.

all of my friends/old schoolmates are getting married, furthering their careers, etc. while i'm still living with my parents and working a part time janitorial job. i want a career, i want a passion, but i have no innate talents or skills, and i've been largely apathetic to everything these past 4 years. i can't help but feel like i'm throwing the "best years" of my life away. time is running out and i need to make a decision on what to do with my life.

Bro thats life. Most people who work don't want to do shit when they get off work. You can go back to school part time but that will eat up ur days off.

>>31271994
>How do you work all day if your job is part-time?
i work ~8 hour work days. the usual times are 7-4, 5-2, and 1-9:30. i'm supposed to only work 4 days a week but since we're understaffed 5 days isn't uncommon.
>Passion begins with curiosity: What would you like to know more about? If you are genuinely incurious then that's the problem you need to work on before anything else.
i am pretty incurious, unintelligent, but also disinterested. it's like i have to force myself to be interested in something, which in turn makes me resent that thing. naturally, i gravitate towards video games. not sure if i'm actually interested in video games or i just play them because i have no motivation and it's easy to sit there and turn off my brain. i appreciate this reply though.
>>31272007
i don't have any strong interests in anything, but you are correct in assuming how i am. are career counselors expensive, have you met with one before? what's it like?
>>31272058
anhedonia would describe how i feel pretty well. i am skeptical of "professional help", because it seems the only 'solutions' to my problems would either be medication (expensive, bad side effects, possible neurotoxicity, etc.) or therapy, which i would not find very helpful. and from what i've seen online it seems a lot of therapists are pretty shitty at their job, or only caring about a paycheck.
>>
>>31272793
Your instinct to avoid medication is correct. Actual therapy would help you, though.

If you can set aside a few thousand $ then they could fix you in six months. Therapy is very much a "you get what you pay for" kind of thing. Most people skimp, and get bad results. You don't need someone with a phd, but get someone who has done anhedonia cases for 10 years.
>>
>>31274193
not op but what do you mean when you say they will "fix" you?
15 years ago when I was in middle school my parents thought I was autistic because I had no friends. they took me to get tested and apparently the only concern noted was "anhedonia". I've lived like this for almost my entire life; what could I expect from a few months of therapy?
>>
>>31274322
They could bring back the life enjoyment you used to have when you were younger.

Whatever you were doing while "not having friends" will have been an emotional dampening/stupefaction mechanism. The point of therapy is to find out why you were doing it. Answers often come from unexpected directions.

i agree with your statement, it's true that being pessimistic and overdosing on blackpills leads to nowhere
however, disregarding the fact that you, for some reason, have to improove to achieve something other people don't (and, in some situations, are worse in 1 or more aspects), the real problem begins when you have done the improovement, even going far and beyond the necessary, yet your situation remains exactly the same
that's when the real horror begins

>how do i cope
By doing funner things. jerking off. or Playing Rust off Xanax or something; you can play high stress PvP games without being on edge

You can wait for a slut to settle later if you're stupid or you can just accept that God's Plan wasn't for you to fuck women. That is assuming you're able to find happiness. If, at your core, you wanted a gf then you will never find happiness. if that is the case then just respawn blud but if you aren't a pussy you'll realize lots of drugs and porn is better.

If you die in a car crash you can just start doing MDMA or Vodka or Tobacco weed or Flubromazolam or Heroin again in your next life when you respawn. in moderation those can be very safe. If you die in a car crash you can't find that same individual again.

it is possible to manipulate your oxytocin receptors without drugs anyways. If you aren't happy sober, drugs won't magically make you happy unless you learn to appreciate them.

Not sure why you'd want to actually love someone anyways. Not like you can put your wife in a ball that fits in your pocket for while you are at work so that nothing awful happens to her while you aren't there to protect her. Obviously God's Plan was not to fall in love if he gave free will to murderers too because if you're in love with someone and they die then you commit suicide. if you don't then you didn't love them.
>>
>>31267628
You’re not brave enough yo talk to enough women to get a gf. Go out expecting to get rejections, and be pleased about it.

It really is nobody's business. Blurting out other people's sexual history to potential boyfriends is not only rude but a deep violation of privacy. Nobody's going to appreciate you being an annoying faggoty busybody because you're paranoid about getting cheated on and want to project that fear onto others like some overbearing helicopter mom who wants to mollycoddle her son into becoming a neurotic hypochondriac. If someone gets cheated on, it's not your responsibility.

i spent my whole life sucking shit. in the past few months i became too successful. i am reluctant to say how much i make. i dont want to make anybody here feel bad or inadequate but i have to touch upon it to illustrate how badly it is fucking with me, and its not the only thing.

im estranged from my family. i have no girlfriend and never have. i thought that if i was successful enough and made enough money that my family would be proud of me, that someone would love me, that everything would be different, but its not true. nothing is different except now i have all of this money to spend but nothing i buy can ever make me truly happy or fill the hole in my heart. even with everything i have i feel like i didnt earn it fairly through my own intelligence or competency, merely through personal connections, luck and another factor which i hesitate to speak about because you will think i am insane or lying.

i should feel happy, but i dont. i feel guilt and i feel angry at myself for feeling this guilt. i know that people would kill me without a second thought for even a fraction of what i have. people would be elated to come into this, but i just feel depressed. its nice to have, but i feel like shit about it and i dont know why. the stress and nightmares i have are almost too much to endure. i feel like giving it all way or burning it and then blowing my brains out.

i have nobody to talk to about this except my partners who could care less about my emotional problems and just want to talk numbers. a therapist would milk me and pretend to listen. the only thing i have for some relief is an ai.

ive always had a vicious guilt complex and low self esteem. it feels like i dont deserve anything. i never imagined that i would feel this way because i never thought i would be in the position im in. i feel ashamed. i feel like ive neglected myself so much to get to this point, using drugs/alcohol, and that i could lose my mind at any moment.

i just dont know what to do.

So many retards on this thread.

Make some friends in your income bracket.

Seriously.

Either join a club with the cash (U Club if you live in a city or some other reputable one) or go to a nice hotel bar and start chatting with the guys.

You are lonely. You need companionship with people who understand your situation.

You're rich (or at least well off) without the sociocultural circuitry to handle it. This happens a lot with gifted kids of lower-middle class parents. Socioeconomic culture dictates wealth is cause for embarrassment, etc. It's a trap.

Do not feel guilty for your success. But you can't take that from me because you don't know me. I might be after your money!! Same reason you couldn't take it from a therapist or a woman.

I have an intuition that you should read Iron John. Look it up on YouTube, you can listen to it.

Everything had to happen to form who you are today. Everything bad, and everything good.

Accept reality and use your newfound wealth to experience life. Take care of your health and nutrition first, then try new things that you couldn't afford before. Or, just go out and socialize. Connect to others. You should have a baseline financial security confidence at this point.

Accept your reality. You achieved it.
>>
>>31273650
Followup:

OP feels empty because he doesn't feel connected to the world or others, thus the disconnect between himself and his good fortune.

Solution: go do nature stuff, or get out of your shell and talk to people. Money can't fix social anxiety. Connection however can fix depression. Just talk to people, learn about them, get close to them. Money doesn't equate to a good life, your relationships with others and the world does

I'm a homosexual, who used to be proudly open about it. But after sifting through all the media brainwashing, and seeing what the homosexual lifestyle was really like, I decided to suppress it. It's not hard to hide the fact, I don't have the appearance or mannerisms of a typical homosexual. But mentally, it is destroying me. Homosexual thoughts will be followed by this intense pain in my chest, my head involuntarily shakes, I start to lose my grip on reality. Is there no fix to this? I just imagine my future, and it's all a lie. A wife I don't find attractive, kids who'll have a father plagued by this disgusting curse. My present is a lie, acting macho and hyper analyzing my every thought and action to avoid detection. My best option is to keep on lying, and just let this pressure keep building in my chest. Is that all there is for someone with this disease? I feel like I'm going to die from a heart attack with all this stress and anxiety.

"We suffer more in imagination than we do in reality" - Seneca

You don't have to suppress shit, but you're also under no pressure to live a life that you hate. As a fellow faggot myself, I find it best to just not think about the future too much and go with the flow, accepting that I'll end up in whatever relationship's the easiest, political correctness be damned. It removes a significant burden from your shoulders.

Besides, at the end of the day, you're a human being with the freedom to shape your life to your heart's content and fight off demons as they arise, so realistically what's there to be scared of?

>the homosexual lifestyle
The homosexual lifestyle, for 90% of homosexuals, is identical to the ordinary middle-class heterosexual lifestyle with the sole exception of who one loves. You have met tden eimes as many gays as you think you have, because they are indistinguishable from others.

What you object to is the flaming-queen lifestyle, which is lived by a tiny (if very visible) minority.
