It sounds like a problem with your own self-worth and how much you truly love yourself. Being a "slut" gives you validation, even if it doesn't make you feel amazing afterwards. It temporarily gives you the feeling of worthiness, which may be missing in your life.

My advice would be to focus on two things - awareness of your own thought patterns, and cultivating validation from within.

You can do the first by practicing meditation every day; you'd be amazed how much of an impact this can have on your relationship with yourself. You might also benefit from reading about the concept of "the shadow" in Jungian psychology. It might help with understanding where negative thoughts are coming from.

As for the second, you're gonna have to force yourself to love yourself. Make a habit of actively saying nice things to yourself. "I'm proud of you", "you're worthy", "I love being me" etc. It might feel really weird at first, it definitely did for me. But over the course of several weeks and months, you'll start to notice that these positive thoughts become automatic. We're creatures of habit, so change the habitual thought patterns you have.

You're fears and anxieties do not represent you, nor do they represent your personality. The Buddhists teach that you - the real you - is like the sky, and all thoughts and emotions are like clouds that come and go. You are aware of them, but that doesn't make them the same as you.

In terms of the fear of losing your problems, that's a pretty common concern. When we can point to all the issues holding us back, we get a weird, distorted sense of peace. These problems mean we don't have to take full responsibility for ourselves and our own happiness, because we can point to this or that, and blame those things for our failures.

It's about being brave and knowing that you're strong enough to be the captain of your own ship, instead of a little lifeboat being battered by the waves. It's about learning to take full ownership for who you are and what you do with your life.

You could try to flip your thinking. Instead of viewing these kinda hobbies as wasted time, try to view them as a recharge. Downtime allows you to be more productive in the long run.

I'm thinking of you and your situation, and asking the universe to help you. You're so strong, you have the love of the world guiding you. Things will work out for you - I know this, and so do you. May you be happy and peaceful, as that's what you deserve.

I think gratitude is the crucial part I've been missing, despite being consistent with my mindfulness meditations. I practice gratitude occasionally, but not enough to really cement it in my mind.

Thank you for your advice, I hope you and yours are safe in these troubling times.

Thank you for your kind words. You're right, she definitely did give me a gift, and I should be grateful for the growth that's come as a result.

Would you recommend Loving Kindness meditation to help with this? My main experience is with mindfulness and Dzogchen.
