Lately I have been losing grasp of myself.

I find myself sleepless at night, thinking of this manifestation of a girl that does not exist. I am in love with an idea, a fantasy and concept. Despite what I know, Red pill and all; my logic telling me what is really going on, I can't get rid of this feeling. Now I have caught myself projecting this fantasy onto a random female I used to have sexual encounters with once in a while some time back.

Why is my brain doing these crazy shenanigans? I feel like I am being puppeted by someone wanting me to go into a relationship, get a family and so on.

Currently I am keeping this at bay by exercise, hiking, focusing at my job and working on hobbies, but the underlying feelings of failure and "not being a Real Man©®" are growing in strength and filling up my conscience.

The last couple of months I have been purposely avoiding women as I fear falling into the trap, but I can sense the net being tightened around me as we speak.

Any advice on how to get out of this situation?
