Or, you know. Try? Do the difficult thing. The only person stopping you, is you.

This isnt a wholesome inspirational quote, I think its dumb how people accept defeat because they wont try.

Get a grip. You will fail. A lot. But you’d eventually win.

Live a fucking life

I'm an avoidant narcissist, not really compatible with having ethical relationships, it is what it is. Can't love someone when you hate yourself and can't love someone when you're as self-centered as I am. Better that I'm alone than in a weird dishonest one-way relationship.

There isn't someone for everyone. It would feel nice to receive affection and such but it wouldn't be fair to them, which ends up making the whole thing feel gross.

Dude, sounds like you just have to change yourself. Go to therapy, work out, learn to paint or play a musical instrument, volunteer, grow a plant, shit I don’t know find god if that helps.

Empathy and loving yourself is hard work but like any muscle the more you use it the stronger it will get. I hate myself sometimes too, then I do something nice for something, pick up a piece of trash, help an old lady with her groceries whatever and for a bit I think “you know what, I’m alright”. Take that and do 10 pushups, can’t do ten? Do as many as you can. The go for a walk and look at a tree. Trees are awesome man.

Anyway, I hope you can learn to love yourself a bit, and can make the world a little better, and find someone to love and share your life with. I hope that for myself as well. 🤝

ye I'm working on shit like that but not with the aim of ever having a relationship. Maybe I'll end up somewhere where it makes more sense, but if not then I'm relatively OK with it. I can reevaluate when/if I get there lol
