    There was a time I would like posting helpful replies on people's threads, engaging in friendly jokes.

    But now I start typing a reply then I just delete it and think "why bother", "my input isn't going to do anything good".
    And I just give up on wanting to reply.

    I've even lost the satisfaction of giving input to others. It's just empty now.
    Nobody knows me, too anyone here I'm just a "nofap member". There's no human connection. Nobody will think in their day to day life, I wonder what star lords up to.
    This place would be just the same with or without me, and I could be easily forgotten.

    The only thing keeping me here now is the sense of security against urges.
    I don't know anymore.
    As the song heaven knows I'm miserable now says.
    "Why do I give valuable time, to people who don't care if I live or die".

    Your reason for being here is to give up addiction and help yourself, not help others. What are your strategies for giving up the addiction? Posting messages here is not a strategy.

    The most effective strategy would be suicide.
    The only thing stopping me doing that for a long time now is that I can't do it to my loved ones.

    The constant want to just end it but not doing so because I don't want to upset anyone.

    Other than that I just abstain until I relapse. What's the point of trying really hard anymore.
    We all eventually die or die sooner. So literally why bother with goals. We can't take achievements with us after death.

    Life is all a load of shit.

    I know the feeling. I could never do that to my family though. Two of my cousins died of drug overdoses who were a few years older than me which is basically an unintentional suicide. It kills the family. That is the hardest thing for a parent to live with, losing a child.

    Helping others is helping yourself.

    One can help themselves in all kinds of ways.

    Posting messages sure can be a strategy for some.

    If I didn't have family I would have gassed myself long ago.
    im not scared of death, I'm not even scared of living. I don't see the point of being in existence.

    The whole universe will eventually die. There is no point to life. We live to sustain a slowly dieing cycle which is "existence".
    I don't even care if there's anything after death anymore.

    I won't be commiting suicide.
    It's the one thing I can't do...at least for another 35 years.
    I'm just fed up of life. I don't feel anything anymore. My existence is like riding a rollercoaster that only goes flat at snails pace.

    I felt the exact same way.

    What really helped me was going out more, socialize more, meet new people, date more, talk to as many strangers as you can. Meetup events are good.

    Over time you become more confident and social. Your brain will start rewiring. People with start to gravitate towards you more. The more you socialize, the more your behaviors change.

    In the beginning its always hard. People will think your a pest, but over time you will be more interesting. In the beginning its lonely and your skills will be shxt. Do not take rejection or things personally if people DON'T want to be your friend or think your creepy. It happens and you can improve your skills. Being social when your not, is very hard.

    Read: How to win friends and influence people

    Keep going out for the next 2 years and your whole mindset will eventually change. You will be less suicidal. Real connection is done in the real world with real people. It can't be done on an online forum

    I don't have all the answers but has really helped me. I was very depressed and felt life was meaningless until I started socializing more. Maybe this will help.

    That applies to all of us. Personally, I'd rather be lost in the crowd casually throwing my two cents in here and there. I don't seek emotional fulfillment from strangers on the internet. Things get real uncomfortable when online weirdos know too much about you. Been there, done that. Be glad nobody cares about you, I am at least.

  13. Aw Star Lord :(

    I hope you find meaning and fulfilment in life soon. Perhaps that can be your mission alongside your reboot - to investigate reality for the meaning in life. I wouldn't be so sure about the "life is meaningless" path. That sounds so certain, but life is too much of a mystery for such fatalistic, simplistic statements.

    I suggest you go on a spiritual search for meaning. For me, it is my belief in Bahai teachings that infuses my life with purpose and profound joy. But you need to search for yourself.

    Don't give up lovely. There is so much beauty and happiness just around the corner for you...you just need to seek it out...

    Don't kill yourself, god loves ypu, you're beautiful!" As for your situation I'm in a bit of a similar spot, I'm 22 virgin , no girlfriend, VERY few aquaintances, no real friends, I'm not in the best spot either.

    I'm by far no expert on this I can't tell you life will be all perfect and how I made my life perfect because it isn't I always watch porn, jerking off and hide it to handle all those negative thoughts I can't talk to anyone about. However I found no fab it's helping me overcome my addiction,despite all my flaws I KNOW suicide isn't the answer. I'm not saying that because I care if you live or not so much because well lets face it, the world is over populated as it is and people die everyday if you go then you're only harming yourself and the people around you. Stay strong Brother, FNO,AON
     
  15. I've sometime have felt like that. I sometimes think what's the point of posting stuff. Hell I've even wonder what's the point of even existing at all because things seem so hopeless and my life seem to be going nowhere.

    But then I watch this video:

    I feel ashamed of ever having such thoughts when watching videos with this guy in because at least I have arms and legs.

    I dont know what's it like to go through depression or having suicidal thoughts but ine thing I know is life is much more than this and that you can get over it. My mother at one point of time felt like that but she survived it because of the family she loved her family her family loved her she had someone to look for. I hope you get through this face and know what type of life you wanted to live as a child. Good luck!!

  17. Hi, not happy to see this. Call a crisis hotline. I did. It helped. Get therapy. Take an appitude test. Interact with others outside of work. If you could get a girlfriend once, you can get another one. Honestly Star Lord your life is NOT over. You are here now, don't waste it. Would your grandfather be proud of you if you killed yourself? I thought you wanted kids. Don't you want him to see the amazing man you've become? To see his grandchildren? He sounded like an amazing man so you being depressed all the time and doing nothing about it is only hurting him. Don't think he isn't with you. I thought you believed in guardian angels? Do you deny that he is protecting you from true harm? Is he a man that would abandon a loved one? He lives in you. Don't kill him at 24 or 35. He's already suffered enough. Let him be at peace. Angels have emotions too. God has a heart that breaks just like ours. Try harder damn it. Allow us to stop worrying about you. Because it's either this or you off yourself tomorrow. Delaying is only causing yourself more harm. Leave a nice suicide to your parents saying it isn't their fault. But they won't believe you.
    Goodbye Star Lord. We tried our best.

    Maybe time to make a massively radical change to your life?

    I read about this one dude who decided he was going to commit suicide but before he may as well go out with a bang. So he flew to Mexico and spent all his money on cocaine and prostitutes while chilling on a beach. He realised life can be pretty awesome and he got his shit together.

    Life is what you make of it. Move to New York and hustle. Move to China and teach kids. I say relocate because that's the most obvious way to make a shift in your life, but do whatever you want.

    And if being on this forum no longer serves you then walk away. You've had a positive impact and can close that chapter if you desire.
