Hi Guys,
I was wondering what you have to say about this. It seems I am in a constant cycle of feeling lonely usually triggered off by a friend getting successfully into a relationship to hearing about another friends excellent date or something to do with girls.
My brain goes on overdrive and I start feeling really lonely and depressed. This means I then stop focussing on the present (ussually my studies) and this in turn means I have to spend more time studying and less outside meeting women etc.
Presumably a lot of you guys were AFCs at some point. Did you go through similar feelings? How did you get over them? Even if its not true sometimes it just feels like I am the only single guy out there.
Thanks,
LA.
LA,
It seems like you place a lot of your own self worth into whether or not you are in a relationship. My advice would be to take a break from women and PUA for a while. Focus on just doing things that make you happy and things you get satisfaction from.
A relationship can be a great thing but it shouldn't define you as a person any more than what kind of car you drive. You need to be happy with yourself and who you are, and spend some time with you. Learning to do this will help you be comfortable when you are alone and regardless of what is going on in your friends lives.
Best of luck,
Jon
