Ultimately your sense of worth should come from you, not from your interactions with other people.

If you get rejected you have to feel like it's her loss, not yours, and legit believe it.

I never said that. I'd be just as concerned about creepshaming if I were gay.

What? How on earth could I believe it would be their loss unless through massive self-delusion?

Because if you're someone with interesting hobbies and poo poo to talk about and things to offer then it really is their loss. Obviously you're not at that point now so I'm saying self-improve until you can at least somewhat believe that. Your self image is obviously very poor and you should work to improve it.

You yourself said you have no hobbies or interests so you don't have poo poo to talk about. What makes you think anyone is going to want to be in a relationship with that? Would you want to date someone that you just gently caress sometimes and couldn't carry a conversation otherwise?

I'm a refined obese gentleman on antidepressants. I have no goals, interests or hobbies. I spend my cash on whores. I'm only interested in women who are way hotter than me.

















Why are women rejecting me?

Not necessarily and thinking so is kinda vain imo.

I actually don't care about getting a girlfriend beyond fulfilling my social obligations so I probably will start dating someone that I just gently caress sometimes and couldn't carry a conversation otherwise (ie. another train-wreck like me).

Most people don't. It's so funny how goons of all people are trying to pretend that missing out on your formative friends and not having friends, social experiences, and girlfriends is no big deal. If you missed out on that you will never be a complete human being no matter how much weight you can lift, or how many adult arts and crafts groups you belong to. Keep loving coping losers. No amount of adult kickball games will ever make up for being sixteen and not making sweet love to your high school sweetheart, and being completely in love.

Nah. I'm not saying be a cocky douche, I'm saying legit think you are a good person with good things to offer other people. If you don't think that then you need to self examine.

I mean if you just think you're a piece of poo poo and hoping someone will eventually ignore that then you're right you won't ever have a girlfriend.

I mean idk what to tell you anymore. You're like fundamentally so invested into this persona you've crafted for yourself that it should be obvious why people reject you out of hand. You think people can't tell you're depressed and desperate?

Being a good person with good things to offer doesn't necessarily mean it's someone's loss for rejecting you though.

Yeah it does, because they missed out on the good conversation/jokes/times/whatever they could have had with you.


For example, if I enjoyed brewing my own beer and got pretty good at it, people would enjoy drinking it. If they were assholes who rejected me out of hand, they'd miss out.

I am depressed but I don't see how therapy is going to help. How can someone convince me that I enjoy things? It's not even objectively wrong to not like anything.

They could still have that in a platonic relationship with you. Anyway, some people just don't fit well together.

if you enjoy literally nothing there's something wrong like a chemical imbalance or something.

it's not 'objectively wrong' to not like anything but at that point you might as well be a complete nihilist and kill yourself. What's the point of living if you don't like anything? I'm not saying kill yourself, I'm saying maybe try to change things instead of just wallowing in misery.

of course but I'm not friends with every single person I've asked out. sometimes it becomes platonic, most of the time if she doesn't want to kick it in that way there's not really much else to talk about; i've got enough friends as it is.

Not liking anything or not finding joy in anything including yourself isn't a personality trait.

Benny Harvey posted:

I don't get how having a casual conversation leads to sex without at least one party deliberately steering it that way. And sure I could talk to women and get nowhere (and I'd be OK with that) but then people will think I'm deliberatley sabotaging myself.


But I'm depressed. So although I could take up some activities, I just wouldn't be able to engage with what I'd be doing and if I tried talking about them it would sound like a dispassioate list of things.

two things:

1) people don't necessarily "steer the conversation toward sex," they start talking and feel a connection and spend time together and then sex happens; this isn't always what goes down but not every sex situation is "hey wanna gently caress?" "okay sure"

2) taking up activities is one way to work yourself out of depression
