Do it dude. You're human.

Ask for a hug. Give someone a hug.

Life's hard

Have you ever heard of auto-suggestion? It is the conscious or unconscious effect of suggesting to your subconscious your desires. When we feel depressed we constantly tell ourselves things like we are inadequate, we degrade ourselves and find no meaning in life.

Think, just for a minute, that although life truly has 0 purpose and that you are a virgin, think instead about what is it that you want? Think, do you want to get laid? Do you want to find something that makes you passionate? Then tell yourself every day that you want those things and turn these negative autosuggestions into positive ideas that fill your mind with desire. Remember that if there is something in this world that we have that no one can take away from us is the ability to control our own thoughts and our minds. The world is a tough place, but our minds are still ours. We have the power to control the thoughts that fill our minds. You need to filter those, and choose which ones are best for you. I know this might sound like nonsense to you, but I’ve been where you are now, and its the self perception and control that has made me able to take my life by the horns and control it. You are the master of your fate, the captain of your soul.

This inspiration came to me from the book Think and Grow Rich. If you truly have nothing else to look forward in life than read that, and think hard about the concepts discussed. Keep an open mind and move forward friend. Hope you get well soon.

Any idea why?

You’re only 22. You have the best thing in life; time. Spend less of it feeling bad and more of it improving your circumstances. You can’t see from 22 that in 3 years your life can be completely different.

Those post OP hormones are kicking in?

Hug yourself bro. You must be your own strongest advocate. Sure, it’s great to get feedback and occasional support from others. But at the end of the day, you are the one with your own best interest in mind and you’re the one whose gotta make it happen. As feminine as it may sound, love the fuck out of yourself.

God speed, soldier.

Op a I'm 22yo make as you and sometimes I feel the same, in what situations or times do you feel this way?

Remember, those thoughts running through your head are just thoughts, nothing more. They are YOUR thoughts, no one else’s. You can control them. I know it doesn’t seem like it, especially with people who consider themselves clinically depressed (minus the ones who really are). It’s all about the perspective.

Life is what it is. There is very little control you can have over that. But YOUR life is where you have all the control. If something is getting in the way, or someone is toxic, or anything is obstructing your happiness, you need to remove it from your life.

You are 100% in control of your destiny. And you are definitely 100% in control of your emotions. You just need to consciously make the effort to rid your mind of those thoughts. Right now, everything is happening subconsciously. You have no conscious control over your emotions or thoughts. Try doing different things like positive affirmations, or leaving positive notes about yourself, even if it seems silly, do it.

Keep your head up man. I was there too. Shit gets better once you can control yourself.

P.s. I don’t mean any disrespect but I always think it’s a little funny that we spend SO much time learning to work the outside world, but rarely spend any time on our inner self,myself included. Spend a little time man. You’re the most important person in your life.

Don't be afraid to ask for help, be it from a therapist or a family member or one of those phone line things.

Seems like you’re going through the post-paradigm shift/anger/sadness phase many experience when they first start to see how things are.

Start meditating if you haven’t already, lift, and improve your financial status, so you can take advantage of the shitty situation, instead of being taken advantage of like you have been until now.

Give someone you trust a hug. But make sure it’s not a woman.

Then go watch “the 300”, “John Wick”, “Mission Impossible”, movies like that.

Realize that men like that exist in today’s world, and have in the past. They don’t give a fuck that it’s a harsh environment. In fact, they love it. They thrive in it. They’ve been molded by it.

After that, go out and do your shit. Suffer in silence, as one of the top posts on here wrote.
