I’m aware that I’m worthless but still can’t turn off that libido or sexual desire and is killing me. Another thing to add to the list of failures as an male adult.

No job, own place, car, friends, virgin. Why am I even alive?

    You aren’t worthless and you can grow as a person thru lonely times.

    It might’ve been easier for me going thru it as a teen. I was pulled from school and homeschooled, in the Texas countryside. I slowly lost every friend I had in school and there was literally no one else to talk to but my family.

    I have a great family, but it wasn’t a warm family. My mother was a very stern and logical woman and my father worked out of town a lot.

    They both loved me, but my point is I spent years entirely alone.

    I took walks and read books. It got easier.

    Decades later I’m still kind of a loner but entirely by choice. As an adult I get flirted with and hit on often. I’m very careful about who I date because I don’t need it. I’m fine being alone now, I only date someone if they are adding something to my life.

    It gets easier being alone, you eventually start to prefer it.
