@Clarence hi Clarence. It's completely understandable to feel a bit hesitant after a relationship that didn't quite work out. Falling in love is a complex process, and it's not always something we can control. The timing can vary greatly for each person. I've definitely been in situations where I've felt a strong connection to someone but didn't experience romantic feelings. It's important to remember that a strong friendship or emotional bond can be incredibly valuable in itself. When it comes to knowing when to end a relationship, it's often about listening to your gut. If you're consistently feeling uncomfortable or unsatisfied, it might be a sign that it's time to move on. Trusting your instincts is key. If you're finding yourself constantly wondering if feelings will develop, it might be a sign that they're not likely to. It's okay to prioritize your own happiness and well-being, even if it means ending a relationship that seemed promising on paper. Remember, every relationship is different. What works for one person might not work for another. The most important thing is to be honest with yourself and with your partner. Open communication can help clarify feelings and expectations.

I masturbated and came hard today. Still feel lazy. Like I can't get the full experience of it. I mean my vagina feels wet. But that's all. I still feel sexually repressed.

You'll always be wandering aimlessly like a disembodied voice in this world that is not suited for you, this world is not for me, not for you. Jesus Christ put it correctly, "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God"This world is based on survival. It does not fulfill deeper needs. That's why the deeper self is at conflict with this world.

That's the hypocrisy I always think about.

Same happened to me. Confusing.

I never understood why a woman who has a genuine concern for the upbringing of her children and family is considered some sort of gold digger or insecure or loving the man for wrong reasons or even incapable of loving men. It's a simple concern yet it's a very legitimate concern every woman should have, why should she be shamed for it. Is it the projection some men's own insecurities producing this cognitive dissonance in them?

Also this is what I've observed in mostly very narcissistic men. The ones who are not narcissistic love and respect and even appreciate the woman for accepting them. Sign of true men. #

True.

This exactly happened to me. I dated a broke guy for his personality. I accepted him. But as soon as he leveled up, he began cheating on me and told me he had more options now. Karma came and she cheated on him and he came back to me. I told him no.

Beautiful!!

Your mindfulness practice is likely playing a crucial role in understanding your inner landscape and the beliefs that underpin your self-worth. By observing your thoughts and feelings, you're gaining insights into the patterns and narratives that shape your self perception.Mindfulness can help you identify negative beliefs about yourself. Once you recognize these beliefs, you can start to challenge them with evidence and alternative perspectives.Practicing self-compassion involves treating yourself with kindness and understanding, especially when you're facing challenges. This can help counteract negative self-beliefs and foster a more positive self-image. You need to do that a lot more.Setting achievable goals and celebrating your successes can boost your self-worth. It's important to focus on progress rather than perfection. So don't look for a perfect partner. Rather find someone who is more compatible to your own values.

You're expressing a significant personal journey. You've realized that seeking external validation through certain behaviors is counter productive and that a more internal approach is more effective. However, you're struggling to let go of these compulsive behaviors and you're seeking guidance on how to find positive role models. Maybe that is what your focus should really be. I can understand how difficult it must be to break free from habits that have been a part of your life for so long. It's great that you've recognized the importance of an inside-out approach to self-esteem. It's a valuable realization.Have you tried mindfulness techniques or journaling to help manage these compulsive thoughts and behaviors? You could hire wingmen or join groups instead of being sucked in by the manosphere. Remember, the goal is to build genuine connections based on mutual respect and understanding. Avoid situations or people that might exploit your vulnerabilities.It's important to remember that your worth is not defined by external validation. You are valuable and deserving of respect, regardless of your circumstances.

I've seen girls marry broke men. I myself dated broke guys.

Even women are humans. Don't expect saintly love from them either. If you judge them, they judge you.

You can't judge women and at the same time love them.

@Ishanga thanks.

Or you wouldn't bother to reply lol.
