Can someone already pretty please show him where he can find the past?

Feminine and masculine qualities are different. You can't expect that when you go into the more feminine side you will get as much positive response from a woman as if you where fully in your masculine. The same goes the other way around. If she would act all masculine you would have a hard time coming to terms with that as well. Now, while this is the case you can still be respectful with each other. But that's a different topic.

Sounds good. Just some tips. Think about yourself as if you already are an entertaining musician. The belief that you are is one of the biggest difference between someone who always wants to be an entertaining musician and someone who already does this for a living. Now in order for you to make money from it there is a kind of market dynamic at play here. For your life purpose (or anyone else's actually) there is not a perfect match for what the market wants and what you want to do. It's like a Venn diagram. Where the market needs and your Life Purpose overlap is your income zone. For example - You are an actor and you want to express yourself in a certain way and always play and experience different roles. But the big bucks lie in getting in and practicing one popular theater show and playing it over and over for over a year. You see where I'm going with this? There is always the balance between following my Life Purpose to the T, or do I pick one aspect of my Life Purpose that is the most valuable for others right now and make a living with it. And this applies in the earlier phase more than later. You picked a good industry. Entertainment is always in demand. Maybe you can find a pub where you can play music and entertain the guests. And you could also organise some events yourself. Then prepare a show and iterate until something works.

How much time are you dedicating to your life purpose right now? And what was the threshold (£) for you to make in those 6 month with it?

The regular stuff, waiter, security, working in a factory, store clerk, uber driver, customer support. But why not go the other way? Learn a valuable skill that is aligned with your Life Purpose and start at the lowest position possible. You might not have money but you'll acquire skills and also be happier because you are on your path.

Without marketing people would have no idea a product even exists or if it is good. Please name a few if you believe otherwise.

Mingle with influential people in your sport interests and be their technician, fixing their software. See if anyone has a big project going on/coming up that will face many software issues. If you don't have work experience, maybe start on Fiverr, upwork.

My girlfriend says she is not interested in anything bi, and I can see why. Because I feel the same way. Still, I am very much aware of the fact that I'm bullshitting myself

Increase your price, so that you make 200-300$ more per week. If your clients don't agree find other clients who will.

You might want to drop that desire to become a real man and become a real woman finally. ❤️

Yes. Spending 50% on living and food expenses is also acceptable.

Good question. -Always see yourself as the victim. So whenever something doesn't work the way you wanted it to go, blame others for it. To the point where you have no responsibility whatsoever. -Focus on lack "There is not enough". Are you sure you can even afford food tomorrow? And remember: It's not your fault inflation is so damn high. Someone else got something you wanted? Great! Focus on the fact that now there is less of it available for you. -Increase your needs Wherever you go your needs can hardly get met. Your need for approval, love, security and control are insatiable. And even if you get a lot of it, you crave it again the next second because as you remember, yes, you are completely in lack of everything. -Talk bad about others (behind their back) You have to be very vigilant about noticing whatever is wrong with people around you. Especially people in your social circle, close friends and family. Even if they seem perfect from the outside, they are hiding something atrocious. You know it. Tell their friends about it. Bonus: Mention that nothing they might try to accomplish in their life is possible. -Self-Fear Absolute Fear. You fear everything - people, objects, ideas, yourself. You have a specific world in your mind and nothing you see fits what you have imagined reality to be. Instead, it tries to destroy your world. You can not accept that, therefore it must be feared. -Resist everything You did all the above and now you finally feel depressed and anxious. Don't let this go to waste. You have to keep this up. That's why change is to be feared and avoided at all costs. Whenever a feeling comes up - push it back down. Try to store as much emotional energy in your body as possible. Also resist what others (enemies) do or say. -Tense up Roll with a gentle tension in your body. This is the best way to resist whatever you might face throughout a long day. But you can also mix it up by getting really tense from time to time.

Are you a man or woman? I looked at your profile but it wasn't mentioned there, sorry if I missed it in your post. In general you should not let things like this pass. It's part of growing up to set boundaries. Whatever you might thought of as o.k. or tolerable in your childhood, you should examine your beliefs and see if they still hold up to your standards now. To set boundaries you state them calm and firmly. State the consequences if someone breaks them, then follow up with those consequences once they are broken. You do not need to be violent but don't be afraid of confrontation and tension either. Is S like this to everyone? If not there is something in you that makes him think that it is ok to act that way. It could be valuable and eye opening for you to find out what, if that's the case. If he is like this to everyone just throw him out with the help of the others.

You maybe have completed one heroes journey but then in another area of life you will start a new one or you are already in the middle of it. Or you have multiple heroes journey throughout different stages of your life. The heroes journey is all about transformation and the way in which humans usually deal with it. It's also very much tied into story telling and culture. And you will find it in movies like -Matrix -Lion King -Star Wars -Lord of the Rings Watch this video, it will make it easier to asses in which chapter you are in right now.

Stay strong

Depends on who you ask. In general, yes. Being a professor also helps. Though nowadays maybe not as much as 50 years ago. But still. Why do you ask?

Locked as per user request.

There are many reasons for this. Just to name a few, because unlike men, women don't get aroused by just looking at a man. They are not like a light switch, instead they are more like an oven, which gets hot gradually - over time. And also because a woman will have to know you before she will be attracted to you because of personality. These are generalisations of course. Then you have the whole social conditioning going and there needs to be a way for a women to assess wether or not she will be safe with you or not. Some men actually use this technique and will find a match. It is not what you say. It is how you say it. Women are like military grade scanners. They will locate your true personality, find your hidden agendas and know where to push in order to collapse your whole machinery. Most guys come with a paper plane and crayon on their faces and think that's enough to outsmart them. I'd recommend you to learn and master communication and social dynamics.

Question your beliefs. Are things really the way they seem to be? Ideally, you wanna exhaust all stages to a degree and integrate them fully. They are experiences and perspectives. What can you do to change your experience and perception right now? How can you change your perspective?

As @flowboy already said. This goes deeper. Think therapy session deeper. Techniques and just approaching won't do the trick alone. They are too surface level. Also invest in a good coach who knows about these deeper levels, has been there themselves and can show you results. Do your research. You want to gradually transition to making going out fun. If you always think about it as hard, there is this pushing energy and you will exhaust yourself. Do it for the fun first, girls come later.

Who told you masturbation is nasty?

Yes. Even better if you can love it. ❤️ But identification works on a different level. If I turn a hetero man into a hetero woman, he would stop craving images of naked women on the internet. If I turn you into a kangaroo you'd never crave social media one second again.

If you can I would definitely focus more on life purpose first. Learn the skills and get some work done. Hey, maybe it's good that it didn't work out between you two. You will find a better women for you which maybe you'd otherwise have never met
