>It's the lack of it as you age that turns it into a fixation, then an obsession. Before long your entire life revolves around it, and even if you get it at that point, it's not going to 'fix' you.
I can definitely speak from experience that this is true, every single guy I know in my life has scored before or has had many past girlfriends. It's an awful feeling feeling like I've never done this one thing normal guys can do without trying too hard, like there's something wrong with me. I've been told many times I'm not ugly and that I can definitely find a girlfriend if I keep looking. But recently all I can really think about is getting a girlfriend, and losing my virginity. Very recently it's even negatively affected my friendships, I told a long distance friend I had a crush on I didn't want to voice call since they were doing hookups on dating apps, it would be too awkward for me to keep hanging out with them if I knew that was going on. If I ever pull it off I do genuinely believe my life will improve, solely for the fact that I'll stop obsessing over it all the time and I can focus on my other goals.
