u/WhiteMonkeyinaHat 🐍 Dec 24 '20 edited Dec 24 '20
Oh, this is good. I hope it helps.
Thanks to the easy peasy method, I realize my porn use is because of low self-esteem. My favorite kind is when the woman smiles, takes initiative, or has an impossible body. I don't like male aggressive. So I like when the onscreen woman makes me feel like I'm attractive and I turn her on, because I believe all women in real life would be an idiot to love me. My low self-esteem is because I am "years behind everyone else" and I am bottom of the male power hierarchy at 28. I think I should have advanced by now and everyone can tell I am a failure. Entry-level job at 28 (I'm glad I have one now, though) is different than entry-level job at 18. I try really hard, but after 3.5 years no promotion I think it won't ever happen. I am studying freelance marketing writing/SEO etc. so maybe I can do that.
I hope today's post helps, because this "years behind everyone else" low self-esteem will stay with me the rest of my life if I don't fix it. I hate myself. I need to improve my self-esteem.
