| I have taken time off, away from the PUA, I have been alone and thought a lot lately. Asking myself a lot of questions: What do I want? What do I need to be happy? Why am I not happy right now? Over the past few days, what do you notice about yourself?
I have written a few things down, and I will tell you what I think so we can see the problem together, and hopefully fix it.
Firstly, What do I notice about myself: I am extremely bi-polar, I don't think I need medical help at all, but my mood swing can change very quickly, but isn't that the same for everyone? My mood very much depends on the very least important things in life, what people think about me, if I have a hot girl checking me out, inevitably, I ashamed to say it, I live in a fake world where I place my priorities in a completely wrong way. If I am alone, I feel like there is no one out there I can rely on, or trust, and people are the fuel for my happy because they give me the feeling of friendship and attention. Which leads me to my next topic, I seek attention, both a negative way and bad way. Most of the time, I want the attention of being the best of something, a captain on the soccer team, the best on a team, with a hot girl, but a lot of time I will do an act of stupidity for pure attention (lately I have realized and controlled very well - and when I say an act, its nothing too serious). I spend money that I don't have, to try and better myself, for an example, buy clothes to make myself look better, and then I will ask my dad if I can have money (and he doesn't have a job right now). I am aware this is weak, and bad, I am sure reading this sounds worse than it does, but this is the truth.
Why am I not happy right now: I believe I have nailed this one on the head, that I am not happy right now because I had a perfect life in my high school, one of the richest schools in the world, soccer captain, hot girlfriend, great family, basically like the life of the kids in The OC. I have something to compare my life to now, to something in the past, and the past will always win. The thing that stands out about my past is the girlfriend, and as my priorities are messed up and girls are ranked very high in my important life must-haves, I always think of the great relationship of my ex, and can't seem to get her out of my head. Therefore I am one of those guys who can't move on from the past, sad - I know.
Another reason why I am not happy are two reasons in my current life.
1) I am dependent, if I didn't have my family (money) I wouldn't survive, I couldn't pay for my college, I couldn't pay for clothes, food, anything and everything. I am in no situation by the age of 20 to be proud of and self sustainable I am in a good college now, hoping to get my degree by the age of 22, and then I don't know what. I always have this feeling I am not doing enough in the current space of time.
2) Almost everything I have been a part of, I could never hang on to or do well in (although one can say I did well to get there in the first place). I got a scholarship for soccer to a good college, and after the first year I got cut. Maybe it was unfair, and unjust, but still I got cut. Soccer is the one thing that I love, was proud of and always there for me, and now Its gone at a University level. There are many more examples, but this is the main one.
I always seem to have an excuse and let myself down, I know that I am capable of good things, people say how good I am at talking to others, how well spoken I am and funny, most of all I know if I found something I love that improved myself everyday I would stick to it and go 100% at it.
What do I need to be happy/What do I want:
This is where I do want your help, where to be honest, I have trouble even beginning to start. I know you have given a lot of material, and for a long period of time I would try things my own way and half heartidly use what you gave me, but I am ready to give 100% to everything you suggest and report to you on what is going on.
The most important thing I need is a strong mindset, a mindset of pure confidence and NO INSECURITY. I am very insecure I realize, maybe because I am not use to people talking bad about me and when I came back after high school people did because I tried to win my ex gf back. Anyways, I am very insecure and I don't have much confidence. That I need help on improving.
I know I need something that I look forward to everyday, a hobby, or skillset that I can use in life and learn from.
I am very weak and skinny, and every man and girl tells me, wow you are very skinny, and I also have a defect with my body where my chest is inverted. I hate it, and that gives me a mindset that, even if I go to the gym, its going to be there, there is no point in working out.
I also do want a girl who gets me, who helps me, but doesn't give me everything I want. As once a good girl, does give me what I want, I loose interest straight away. As you know with this catholic girl, I still have to tell her its done, and I never wanted it to be like this, I liked her a lot, but then I realize, maybe I liked the challenge, sad, i know. I dont want to admit this.
I am being as honest as I can, please respect this, please help me.
What do i do, where do i start?
