Staying busy to avoid falling into depression?

You can’t run forever. Face and confront your issues. Yes productivity is better than fucking around but your issues will always be in the back of your head like a ghost unless you deal with them and the root causes

And also. Listen to yourself. You clearly WANT to go and have fun and socialize but your limiting yourself due to anxiety and self doubts. Don’t do that To yourself.

My advice Take a few days off, pay to go see a therapist and try to reconnect with family etc or close friends you trust to talk about what should you do in life and make a game plan after reavaluating what actually matters to you and what you want while also confronting your demons because you clearly aren’t happy.

So your plan doesn't include human contact, a basic and essential human need?

You need a plan that is sustainable. Its good to have goals, but don't be a robot and give yourself downtime.

As long as your life is moving in the right direction, you are good.

You are talking about going backwards in life to be a loser again. You are desperate for women and other people’s validation. I got news for you, all those party types are lonely and looking for validation too. This is the exact opposite of what the red pill teaches. The red pill is about self sufficiency. Being excellent in life is a lonely process. Forget the escorts. You need to learn to love being alone. Even when you have other people around, you are still “alone” in this world.

Bulldog mindset has a good YouTube video about this called “Why you’re always going to be alone” or something like that. Go watch that ASAP. Right now. And let me know what you think.

Same. Things I used to take pleasure in doing are short-term trivial pursuits that only distract me from my mission.

To we who dwell in TRP, normal life is little more than a pretense. Our only actions of significance are those we undertake in service to the dark side.

The more I travel, the angrier and more restless I become as I realize most people are living hedonistic lifestyles with no meaning. The void inside me opens wider and I am forced to work harder to contain myself.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

Stop hiring escorts. That’s blue pilled shit

Hey Man,
I feel you. Around the same age and seem to fall into depression in a similar way whenever I am not busy/occupying myself towards some future goal.

Spent my 20s traveling around the world, partying and teaching English. Those were easily my best days. Had a great social life, met lots of broads, and was generally happy and felt like life had some momentum and was building towards some crescendo.

I started to get insecure about my career and work situation. I didn't want to be an English teacher forever and decided to go back to my country to get professional life sorted out. It took a little while, but I eventually did it. Now I am here working a job that requires little effort and getting paid a lot more than I should. Yet I am unfulfilled.

Biggest disappoint has been friends. Since returning, I feel like I have outgrown many of them. A lot of them have fallen by the wayside. Some got married and had kids, other got married and wrecked in divorces. Some fell to addictions and Alcoholism. Its sad to see and a bit depressing. I feel a lot of them deserve better lives than what was handed out to them. I have trouble connecting with them and anyone else these days, and it gets lonely.

I can still get girls when I put myself out there or try, I just don't really have much of a desire to do it. I feel like the quality of women have gone down so far, that its not worth the time, energy and emotional investment. My last two plates were early twenties, definitely attractive but both batshit crazy. It has me totally turned off from the dating scene here. Usually I just wait until I get horny enough and get a hooker lol.

Trying to figure out where to go from here. I don't really know what your question was, so I don't have an answer. Just wanted to say that I can relate to what you are going through on some level and I am sure that there are many in a similar boat.

Idle hands are the devils workshop.

have a ton of close friends

Start there. You don't really need "a ton" of close friends, 2-3 would do. You lack belonging, connectedness.

Also, be more conscious in building your own thing where you have (soft) power. That might have to do with massage, e.g. a massage practice group where you are the guru or something. You find what works for you.

I really disagree with the idea that keeping yourself to busy to not fall into depression is a bad idea. Keeping yourself busy is one of the most effective and viable strategies to fight depression.

Out of curiosity : Why are sleeping with hookers and not regular women ?
