    So don’t be a creep, meet people as they are, don’t meet people expecting them to have sex with you

    Work on yourself, go to therapy, get a hobby or read a book, join a reading group.

    You have to be a part of a community to meet people. You can’t just hang out on the internet posting about how unfair it all is, and expect anything to magically change

    take care

      Just for anyone else in the thread: this doesn’t work lmao.

      I used to be depressed and anxious af. Took a break from uni, moved back in with my parents, went to therapy, got better, joined a book club, started hanging out more at social centers and talking to people, got a part-time job as a waiter, started working out and paying attention to my looks… still no gf. You can’t become a successful person by merely going through the motions of what you think a successful person’s life looks like. You can’t cargo cult your way into happiness.
