RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

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?

channel that frustration into efforts to improve your job, health, social standing.

These forces are natural, they are designed to push us toward success, to change a bad situation. It's the human condition.

Let's check the basics, these can also have outsized impact on our mood and outlook:

  1. Are you eating correctly? No sugar, minimal carbs?
  2. Are you sleeping enough?
  3. Are you exercising regularly? Elevated heart rate for at least 3 hours a week
  4. Are you getting regular sunlight?

Don't define your happiness by external factors, once you become at peace with yourself, you will find others appreciate that self confidence you will radiate
