Here's my scenario /adv/>M26>Charismatic with a wide circle of friends>Have various interesting hobbies and pastimes I enjoy>Actively pursuing my ultimate passion, and very skilled at it (acting)>Excellent physical shape, handsome, well groomed, admittedly average height>Successful in employment and study>Funny, kind, both friends and strangers enjoy my presenceThis sounds like bragging, but I'm just setting the stage here. In short, I'm pretty great, and people think I'm great, and often earnestly tell me that I'm great, but my issue lies in relationships.>Moderately successful with women, but never gone past date #4.>Previously struggled to make & maintain friendships>Frequently feel that I am closer to friends than they are to meDespite everything on paper going incredibly well for me, I feel like I'm lacking in the most important part of life, that being relationships. It's incredibly confusing to have so many people complimenting you and how fascinated they are by you, and yet having them all drift away eventually.Not to mention with women, you'd think they'd be pining over me, yet I haven't gone beyond a simple makeout session in years.It would be easier if someone I liked genuinely believed that I sucked, it feels like that would explain so many things and there would be so much less pressure to maintain whatever I have going on.Hopefully this is semi coherent. Does anyone else understand this feeling?
>>35069560>>Moderately successful with women, but never gone past date #4.Are you putting out? I wouldn't go past date 4 if you didn't.
>>35069567I am, granted I did nut almost instantly with her after date #3, so maybe that's the reason for her dropping me following date #4.With my limited dates, I find it difficult gauging how much physical contact to initiate, and often get inside my own head regarding how I should and shouldn't behave.I suppose I'm also in a bit of a funk, I had a nice flirty thing going on with this girl I met in a hiking club, and I am confident she was feeling the same way, but she recently told me she's talking to someone else, and so that's kind of thrown me for a loop.
Post works so we can roast youAnyway it sounds like you're the one lacking interest in others. You're the wow so praise-worthy and fascinating one. Now reverse it and find someone who fascinates you.
>>35070532Works? Not sure what you mean by that.That’s a good call though, I like the people around me but fascinated isn’t the word I’d use to describe my feelings towards them. I’ll have to make a point of that
>>35069560lol
>>35069560You suck. I mean it.
>>35069560It sounds like you're boring. Are you one of those actors who has absolutely no personality of his own?
>>35069586>she recently told me she's talking to someone elsefoids think this will motivate you and encourage you to make a big move i know this sounds like a "fuck off" but it's actually a "show me your moves"
sorry i didn't read very good>actingyou're either going to have to suck dick or go into sales to get women
>>35069560what the fuck do you mean date #4? I've never gone past meeting women 3 times, and I've fucked 3 girls off those apps. If you as a gigachad are wasting that much time with them they probably think you're gay.
>>35070737Fair enough>>35073240I appreciate the sentiment, but unfortunately I’ve never met you, so I have no reason to care about your opinion, and you also don’t know who I am, and given the context you’re probably just being nice.>>35073251I don’t think so, I’m a very laidback person, but like I said people seem to be really receptive to me as a friend at least. I could be boring though, but I feel like my experiences are pretty interesting.
>>35073282Don’t think this is the case, I recently met the guy, and unfortunately he was alright.>>35073286>go into sales to get womenhow the fuck would this do anything to get you women? i don’t think you’re qualified to be giving anyone advice>>35073900>date #4as in the 4th intentional date with a girl, yes off a dating app (runner up was 3 after meeting in person) but id say my relationships have been 50/50 apps/in person. i dont think they think im gay, i think they find me lacking in depth, or maybe too passive. Like I said, I often get in my head about these things.
>>35074006>given the context you’re probably just being nice.Trust me, I'm not. You sound insufferable.
>>35069560You are just a REALLY high masking (you are good at acting because you are ALWAYS acting) autistic who can't handle when things go truly off script.
>>35074815Haha fair enough, but again we don’t know each other so it really doesn’t matter.>>35074856This isn’t true either, you gotta understand that the best acting has a strong basis in improv, and an experienced actor wouldn’t be thrown off by something not following the script, they’d just respond how they’re feeling in that moment.
>>35074006>I’ve never met you, so I have no reason to care about your opinion,Then why the fuck are you on here?>hurr durr tell me something that will make me feel goodSuck a dick fag
>>35075396boo hoo nigga
You’re insufferable I hope this helps.
OP here, definitely in a better mood than I was when I posted this. For anyone feeling similar, or anyone at all really, I found this video to have some really useful info/perspective:https://youtu.be/e-ddjl7Cc6cYeah it’s easy to dismiss as new age kooky spiritual shit, but it’s 5 minutes on 2x speed and contains a really useful practice you can try. Absolutely free, and as far as I know the guy isn’t selling anything.>>35077747A bit, yes, and it made me chuckle, thank you
