Every few months or so, I get massively depressed. Most of the time, it feels like rock bottom. The loneliness overtakes me and I just start whining. I'm currently only 2 days into my streak, and normally this happens after many fap sessions. All throughout my adult life, I never felt any true love from anybody, from previous girlfriends to even my mom. So this is why it hits me so hard. This is why I fall into PMO
If you know that you hit rock bottom then from there the trajectory moves upward you dont have to worry about who didnt love just find the one who will its fine during pmo depression is a state dont worry fight hard you will find the light keep walking
I'd just say, as a man your destiny is to work for the society. But if you can get your shit together, someone would fall in love with you. So, the no 1 is to love yourself enough to make the best decisions for yourself and to keep working on yourself. In summary: Love yourself and spread love, and someone would eventually love you.
I've been there too, depression I mean. One thing to know is that it sets up a false image of the past - because it's too difficult to cope, we conclude that everything is negative anyway. Don't let the depression start talking... you say you never felt any "real" love - that means you did feel some, but don't think that it was real? Ask yourself, why do I classify this as "not real enough"? We have a very limited perception of reality, and we don't actually truly know what's going on inside other people. I don't mean to invalidate your experience, far from it. But I hope you see my point, it's important to not make the mistake of limiting our own perception.
I know exactly how you feel, man. I am incredibly lonely and have no close friends. Objectively I know that other people love me (a few, anyway), but when I am depressed it is impossible to believe it. Loneliness is apparently very prevalent in men these days so you have a lot of company. Have you considered getting some counseling? I don’t care for it much, either, but my wife has convinced me to give it a shot. I know, that for me, this is very much related to my years of being addicted to porn. Feeling lonely makes it much more likely that I will watch some porn and masturbate, which, of course feeds my loneliness. A perfect viscous cycle. I have been off porn for a bit over a month and plan to never return. So far, it is surprising how little I miss it. Best of luck to you. Feel free to reach out anytime.
By God. "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
