I went out tonight for the first time in a while, got a couple compliments from guys and girls and a hookup with some girl while sober (only got her ig in the end).
I thought doing this would make me feel a bit more confident or good about myself but I feel the same way. Do I just need to keep going out and getting hookups and talking to women or will nothing fill this fuckass void that I can’t even explain properly

this bp shit has sent me down a rabbit hole of always wanting more (probably helped me just as much as fucked me)I guess I gotta learn where to draw the line on what’s realistic and what’s not or maybe I’m just having a depressing post going out “comedown”
 
Its simple. It doesnt make you feel good because you were likely at the club, with extremely low value girls, which is meaningless in comparison to an actual relationship.

in terms of needing validation to secure myself I guess so but everything else not so much, but then again I question myself because in terms of woman this hookup was my first in like 5 months, maybe I used different ways other than woman to validate myself like obsessing crazy over my looks in hopes for a compliment or smth to make myself feel like im desirable

you just need to find a girlfriend, theres plenty threads out there which can give you a guide on how to approach a girl and ask her out

yeah your onto something I got her ig and left to go smoke outside with my mate and I come back and she’s with some Tyrone lookin mf with a whole ass puffer and hoodie up in the club. I probably gave this girl too much of my headspace (even though it was minimal) which led me to feel like I didn’t even accomplish anything (because she was most likely a whore)

i relate alot

i try to cope but i seek validation alot
this shit chronic i got no choice i will always be insecure and need to feel superior irrationally.

even in my most grandiose of moments i will want people to see me like how i feel so its a validation feedback lop regardless of confidence

Fr, I know I’m NT and have been my whole life but this bp shit is like frying my brain and ability to communicate with women (there’s a couple other things that could be the reason too)
 
every .org member is like this we all like this doesnt mean we all narcissist
no even in my most grandiose and high i feel like this i need how i feel about myself to be affirmed its a feed back loop i have no choice

Where does one draw the line wanting validation and feeling good when your seen in a positive way, and full blown narcissism

go to a psychiatrist. i am devoid of empathy my whole life and only see people for value not love not even my family which i wish it wasnt the case

You feel like shit because ur sober the girls are drunk and that’s when you get complimented. It feels like she wouldn’t do the same if she were sober, so what you need to do is get a job go to more social events, do volunteering, join an org, talk to a girl in class idk just a place where both of yall are sober. Had a girl ask for my insta while I just woke up completely sober she was sober too at an org lunch and that’s the only time I felt good about a girl coming on to me because she was sober

Thanks for the advice man, hope you find peace or somewhat of a solution with ur situation bro❤️
