What you do when you feel down?

There's no such thing as 24/7 happiness. Embrace your your emotions but don't let them guide you.

Without lows there can be no highs. Neither is really desirable because one always follows the other. They are a natural part of life you just can't escape.

Usually a good lift session will bring me out of a bad mood. Understand that these emotions are human and try to channel them. Some of my best gym sessions were ones that brought me out of a depressive state. Put some headphones and zone out for an hour or two. If I am in a really negative mood, I'll usually ask myself why I feel this way, and what I can do to bring happiness back. It's better to be a perfectionist than someone who does not care about self improvement. Good Luck Brother.

Perhaps you are suffering from Perfectionism and have some level of Imposter Syndrome. You might still be a virgin because you feel like you need to be perfect to get pussy. I think discovering why you have perfectionism is the key to understand why you have "sadness/depression".

focus more on getting male friends. i didn’t pick up on any sense of humor in your post, so i think you need to learn how to banter like a man

i think one of the leading causes of neediness is the inability to bond with brothers. if you have buddies that you can bullshit with and make you laugh, pussy can pick up on this.. especially when they see it in action

Improving for four years but still no luck? Ouch.

Sounds like you need to improve your social circle. Easiest way to get a girl is when you have friends. It's becomes natural

Short answer but maybe you are not keeping yourself busy enough with your goals etc

Don't even know what it feels like and I'm nearly convinced it's a fake diagnosis. But I also don't really get overly happy, the closest I come is maybe a form of mania but even that is more like a focused feeling of confidence and energy and not "happyness"
