    I am not studying anymore. I relapsed today. I keep procrastinating my studies. But I really need to pursue them. I failed in 2 subjects in previous tests. And still I don't feel like studying. I did pmo today. I got motivated again. Stood up again. Took 14 days challenge as I am just a beginner. But I still feel a nagging feeling of being alone. Or having no one to talk to. Maybe it is because I have nothing on my mind. I do not do any work. Just watch serials or porn. No such hanging out with friends. Maybe that should end and I should start studying!

    I want good suggestions. Kindly read all of it and try to understand me.
    I am only lonely beacuse I am a simple guy and get used by others for most of the time. I mean my nature is that I easily get dominated by others. I am easy to make fun of. I do not make any such quick responses in face of people who taunt me. I keep my feelings bottled up and it finally leads me to get myself away from people so that I do not get close to them and they do not treat me like shit.

    I already had a this kind of situation , the only tips i can give is don't be a people pleaser , act with confidence and don't care about how people sees you , try to overcome your fears , staying lonely with out trying to socialise gone not improve your social skills , i knew at the first time this seems very scary but by the time it's gone be easy like a game , and about loneliness try to hangout with one your best BEST friend and share with him your story maybe he gone understand you and help you . and finally stop overthinking and try to visualise things positively avoid bad scenarios that gone increase you chances of falling , be confident and overcome you fears after overcoming this issue you gone be happier , believe me ;)

    Yes the reason is I am always good to others and always try to be good to them. I care for everyone and I myself put the need of others above mine, talking about the general friend circle. And other reasons I mentioned above that is my nature. Moreover I have been taking medications for depression for 2 to 3 years now. I am having hard time fighting both the issues porn and depression at the same time. Then there are these studies and then social interaction issues. What else can I say God knows!

    I don't want to be a people pleaser but then if I actually according to myself then I feel I am being rude. That takes my concentration away and I really don't want to hurt others and be bad to anyone. This leads to me being slave to the happiness of others. The only solution I can think of is getting far away from everyone. Not even your best friend will take you if you are rude. How should I stop being rude!!!! What should I do ?

    Hi Vishal Rob Singh. Thanks for starting this thread. I could relate alot to everything here. I think I relate a lot to what you described. Being a bit of a peoplepleaser etc.

    Being prone to addiction, judging self harshly, low self esteem, stuffed feelings, difficulty forming relationships, fear of authority figures, and other things form the identify of a traumatized person who is prone to addiction. So these are the "false self" defense mechanisms learned early in life to cope with an unfriendly environment.

    It is OK to have this stuff and once I started having a safe place I started to be more of my "true self". For example with people pleasing, a lot of people go to the other side which is disdaining the approval of others, acting out, etc. But with the "true self" it is about an integration. We can integrate people pleasing by getting to know our own boundaries better. And how far we can extend ourselves in kindness to others, or when to hold back on that. We can learn to set boundaries in a healthy and assertive way.

    Another example of changing extremes is like when I go from doing PMO/video games/anime all day (thats my sort of dissociation mode) to then flip one day to workaholism. Both of these extremes are not my "true self" and reflect that I'm out of touch with my own true needs and feelings. Like other people mentioned, and like you're doing now, connecting with others in a meaningful way is the "third side" of the equation. A healthy possibility that exists aside from the unhealthy extremes of the "defense mechanism self".

    So this definitely doesn't happen over night by I've experienced some recovery from it and I'm sure you can too. You're definitely on the right track just by posting here. I also think your original instinct in your first post on this thread was also wise.

    So you're lonely and you need to study, try to find or start a study group. Both problems can be solved with that, and maybe you'll form some new relationships.

    It's not all bad that you like to care for others. That's a great quality, as long as you know your boundaries. Don't let people take advantage of you, but don't be mean for no reason either.

    Maybe it would help to start working on things that can build your self confidence. Work on how you dress, exercise, read a book and learn something new. Other people can see when you are more confident, it shows. You don't have to be arrogant or vain, but just learn to believe in yourself and love who you are.

    Thank you so much for your advice. Really kind of you. You related to my feelings. Thank you for wise knowledge. The guidance you gave is quite generous and I would say wise. I think it would be hard to even understand my habits completely and deal with them. To change my defense mechanism. Observe my defense mechanism. And as you said that talking to people in moderation is very very helpful and so is what I have experienced. But developing a habit of talking to others in real world will require me to let go off my hesitation problems. Don't know how to do that. Tell me forget any solutions that might come to your mind. Please read my journal to get an overview of my nature. Your suggestions are precious.

    Thank you for your advice. It was really worth it. Yeah my problem is how not to be mean and not break boundaries of helping others. That's what I don't know. It requires one to become sort of a, maybe a confident person. I myself want to learn some art of manipulating at least which I can use for self defense when I am being pushed by others and to be able to express myself. That's what I require...
