I've realized I'm stuck in a cycle I can’t seem to break, and it's been really frustrating. It feels like I invest time and emotions into online friendships — with girls who are great company in the moment — but in the end, it all goes nowhere. I’m left feeling like I wasted my time.**
**The problem is, I’m only now seeing the pattern clearly: I get emotionally involved (even if just a little) with an online friend who's into another guy. I end up giving her relationship advice and trying to help her get with him — all while quietly dealing with my own feelings. This has happened to me at least twice before. One of those times, it started with a web friend I was really attracted to. I ended up paying for her content, and that eventually led me to start spending money on other girls too. In another situation, I actually believed I could live with the girl, planned for it, moved out of my parents' place, and went through a lot on my own… only for her to vanish from my life completely.**
**Now I feel like it’s all happening again — and honestly, I’m afraid this won’t be the last time unless I do something about it. I didn’t see it clearly before because I just kept jumping from one online friendship to another without reflecting.**
**I want to understand what’s going on with me — why I keep falling into these same situations even when I know they’ll hurt me in the end. I’d really appreciate any advice or insight on how to break this cycle and stop getting myself hurt. And honestly… I just want to understand why I keep feeling so stupid for falling into the same trap over and over again.
