>tfw no gf
how does one actually cope?

>>81860759 (OP)
you try to fill your life with other activities and otherwise you just live with it and eventually you'll stop caring

>>81861250
I don't think i'll ever will
I am 25 already

>>81861250
You never stop caring anon. The older you get, the worse the feel.

I can't afford a gf anyways

I've had multiple relationships after more than two decades of an incel phase and honestly those left me more disoriented and depressed than I was before. Getting the girlfriend is easy if you can be presentable and lower your standards. Finding someone to have a fulfilling relationship is another story. Ideally you would want someone that makes you feel good by spending time with them. At some point I was dreading getting any message from my now ex girlfriend.

Kinda similar here. Barely I guess. Several times I've met someone and as soon as she starts liking me I immediately screw everything up by saying the most autistic shit imagineable that made her despise me. Now I'm more depressed because I constantly think about those four women that said they loved me and then as always, they now hate me.

It's happened four times now over the past 10 years and I don't have it in me to even try to get a girlfriend anymore.

I just want to be happy and unfortunately my experiences have shown that it requires sacrificing the idea of ever having someone who loves me. I have to completely ignore the thing that I want the most in life and instead pursue the top things I want that don't involve other people.

This mostly happened online with a couple IRL dates sprinkled in BTW. Still a virgin.

Wont your bf get jealous?

I'm just very introverted, never get touch-starved and mostly prefer to be on my own. I sometimes have moments when I'd want a woman to cuddle and fuck with but then I rub one out and I again feel better alone. I've also had the "luck" of being exposed to normies talking about their wives and gfs for years now. It made me realize I was idealizing relationships and women and that in reality, relationships are a complicated, expensive and risky mess, for not much of a reward.

>>81861270
Some anons claim otherwise but i feel like you are right.

>>81864161
Same. When you grow up in an abusive chaotic household it can be a blessing in disguise because you witness the worst ugliest parts of humanity from an early age on and you might even not get to the point of idealizing women and relationships and learn to live alone early, instead of being a naive divorce raped normie in his 30's eventually.

>>81860759 (OP)
Fugget about it.

Growing up in an abusive household just makes you not trust anyone in general which extends to women and relationships. And honestly, I feel better off alone. Messed up nervous system makes everyone feel like an enemy.
