    Hey all, so I haven't been actively posting much as of recent, but I'm here to share some parts of my life I need some clarity on before it is too late. I'm a male turning 21 in a few days and I've still never had my first kiss and never have had sex before. I live in the United States where sex is prevalent, and in the workplace as well. (Coworkers having sex with each other) I always get nervous when a girl looks at me with flirting body language. I feel like I'm not enough and unworthy of being loved. I feel like if I tell a girl I've never had sex before I will be ostracized for being who I am. I want to leave my hometown and not come back for the fear of being seen by people I've previously had contact with. I know packing my things and going away won't solve all of my problems, but it will definitely give me some relief in the sense that I won't be judged by anyone I know. What do I do? Do I work on myself in hopes that a girl will pop up in my life? or do I take a chance to risk it now and carve out my own destiny?

    So my question is, in terms of a 21 year old male, is there are 3 viable options I see my life turning out to be
    1) I die (I somewhat wish this could happen)
    2) I conform to the rules of society and get boxed in (High disagreement)
    3) I leave to follow my dreams and block out the negativity (Highest risk but most rewarding)

    This has nothing to do with finances or careers etc. This is a post of morals and questioning which is the best choice I can make.

  2. As far as sex, virginity and sexuality itself is concerned, imho, NEVER conform.
    If we look around us and the "normal" of society, looking closer only reveals lost souls, doing whatever they can in order to somehow mitigate their misery.
    You have alcohol, cannabis, porn, a multitude of prescription and non prescription medications and drugs, in order for us to not "feel" anything at all.

    The day you choose to conform to others' ideals is the day you become the executioner of your dreams.

    The greatest people in history have always been the crazy ones. There is much wisdom in that fact.

    If you want to find a girl, do so, without fear of rejection. You may get rejected, and that's fine. There will be someone out there who will love and accept and cherish you for you. That is the person deserving of your love too.

    Imho, option 3 makes the most sense. If nothing else, the experience will, God Willing, help you find your way. Jut stay away from the bad stuff of society like drugs, hookers, gambling, alcohol etc. And you should be set to achieve your dreams. :)

  3. Id say start being proud of yourself and stop being ashamed of yourself.

    You might not realize it but you’re labeling yourself while also putting negative connotations on those labels.

    None of these things you’ve listed have to do with who you are as a person. You are who you are and you can be whatever tf you wanna be.

    As far as I can see you’re just a good guy with outstanding potential who hasn’t used any of it yet. Maybe due to fear or of shame. Don’t let that shit hold you down. You can crush it cause you’re a warrior. You’re over here fighting. Continue the fight. Don’t look around unsure of what you’re doing. You know exactly what you’re doing....kicking ass.

    Best of luck don’t worry about any of this stuff and let it get wrapped up in your head. Just do you man like you’ve also done. And if there’s something in your heart you wanna do but are suppressing, go do it.

    Peace

    "What's the point of my life?"

    I have absolutely no clue as to what the point of your life is.

    Pick something and try it, that's about all I can say.

    It doesn't matter where you are, who you're with, and what you're doing nearly as much as who you are as a person. Sex, status, materialism, money, relationships, etc... all of these things that people build in their minds to be their concept of happiness are basically distractions. A way to escape your own negative thoughts. What you're really after is a way to change the experience that you have with yourself. Happiness / peace is when you no longer have those negative thoughts that says you're not good enough. Society will always tell you that you to accumulate more things, do things in a certain way, and that you're never enough. So your expectations never meets your reality and you're always dissatisfied and feeling that the present moment is insufficient.

    The truth is that you're already good enough. You're already there, enough, and complete. Yes, even with everything that you currently lack. Even with everything that you're currently insecure and incompetent at. There's no such thing as completion until you're dead. Everyone will always be a work in progress. There's no such thing as perfection. So instead of putting off what you want to do in life until you're "good enough"... you need to be living as though you're already there, enough, and complete.You don't need more (enter random bullshit thing that society says you need) before living life how you want to live it.

    Let go of need society or others to accept you... because until you accept yourself and change the way that you experience life through the lens of yourself.... then nothing you accumulate externally can ever be enough to distract you from yourself.

  9. But I just don't see the point in censoring it here. If you don't want to swear then don't but if you want to swear just swear.

    Start by being grateful. It's impossible to be ashamed and grateful at the same time. Instead of counting the things you aren't grateful for, switch it up by finding things you CAN be grateful for. This is a GREAT foundation to build on.

    Also, often in my life, I've realized that if you go searching for your "divine purpose" and "ultimate happiness", you'll find nothing. What you get is a tunnel vision which distracts you from everything that's really important in your life (family, friends, love, etc.). You will miss out on many things if all you focus on is your "personal happiness". Same thing goes for love. Stop searching for it. It lies within you. However, I can only speak form my experience. It's your world man, make very the best of it!:) Life is so fragile, and sometimes you never get to see how precious it actually is until it is taken away.

    If you want to talk more about this subject I'd be more than happy to give you support! Just shoot me a message!

    If people who are getting laid daily happy....
    I think no....they are also depressed
    We have to cure the sadness ....and I don't think people who are enjoying sex lives...are happy or content in life
    I am just like you.... Infact I am 23....
    But these desires to get laid make us restless
    And anything which disturbs our peace is not good
    There is a quote...."he is intelligent who learns from experience....but he is more intelligent who learns from OTHERS experience"

  13. Maybe life has no point.
    Maybe it has a point.

    Does this change anything? I don't think so! Doing the best you can, for as long as you can, and for as many people as you can is life (including yourself too)!

    But it is just a simple outlook. Maybe this question will never have an answer.

    No. I'm simply suggesting a change in perspective.
