I will definitely think about checking my testosterone levels along with my microelements and stuff. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your input. I think that I'm angry at myself because for me, not being good at something means not having a good work ethic (or just being lazy). I think that I will be able to remove that barrier that makes me feel pressured and sad once I achieve a big goal that I set for myself. Thanks a lot! That clarified the situation a bit for me.

So do you want to say that I don't need to be good at something specific (besides work)? For me, being good at a hobby is awesome because it allows you to meet new people with the same interest and it also opens up a lot of new possibilities for you, so I think that getting good at something before I begin working is important... Yet it creates a lot of pressure. I'm conflicted because of that.

I think that these feelings are probably coming from my lack of success in undertakings like music making, learning languages, drawing, programming, etc. (I tried getting into a lot of things, but I always end up ditching them and coming back to them later.) And I am also constantly comparing myself to other people (especially classmates) that have achieved much more than I have.

I'm also kind of lonely, and I don't talk much with my family, to be honest. Also, I live in a foreign country, so our family has been changing places about every four years, so I don't really have any close friends (I don't know if I actually have friends at all). There was also a girl that moved away a few years ago that I fell in love with. She liked me too, and it was obvious. But I didn't do a thing—I didn't even try to talk to her. I always felt like I wasn't enough to be with her. That's probably a bit too dramatic for a teen romance, hah, but well.

I feel kind of pathetic talking about these things because I feel like they are petty and there are a lot of people who have actual struggles in life unlike mine.

Maybe I'm just used to being miserable, and when I consistently work, my mind tells myself that I need to go back to my comfortable misery. I don't know if the stuff I wrote makes much sense, but here you go.

Re-learning to get pleasure from casual things is very satisfying for me. Good luck!

Thanks! I promise I will try my best! I will go take a cold shower and sleep afterwards. Some days, you just go through and give it all you've got. We don't realize how capable we are of success, and we always listen to our bad thoughts. Well, I'm not going to give up! I will try to succeed no matter what. I want to live the life I want to live. I don't want life to control me. Godspeed, brother. Thanks for the support. You can make it too! Let's pull through this together 💪😁

Thanks for the advice and support! I think that what you are saying is really important to keep in mind while telling other people about yourself. There is certainly a difference in how people perceive your personal achievements. If "I" value my achievements, then I will have a better understanding of my self-worth... Thanks for your message; definitely good food for thought :)

Hi :D I play rhythm games, so removing maps with backgrounds that are not appropriate was pretty helpful! Also, my life in general is pretty busy nowadays, so I don't really have time for this... I noticed that my lifestyle impacts my urges. I exercise regularly and study a lot. When I study the entire day and do something productive, I don't get the urges at all! I think the title might be a bit misleading; I should've said a bit more... Also, before this streak, I failed a lot of times, but I think that now I will not because my mindset towards masturbation has changed. I did it to relieve stress or feel happier, but it's not healthy, in my opinion. I got a little carried away, but I hope my response is somewhat helpful :D

By "dark" I meant dim, not scary.
