Just spent an hour looking through high school acquaintances' Facebook profiles

For a long time I felt consumed by self-loathing and hatred for myself, but looking at their lives, I realize I sincerely don't want to be a normie. I may have missed every traditional benchmark of adulthood, I may be a loser failure, but THAT is what success is? They watch such stupid shows and take such stupid bartending classes and put up such stupid profile picture filters and work such stupid jobs... It's all so prosocial and superficial and disgusting. No wonder they went to such good schools

These are normal, well-adjusted people with happy lives and I would literally kill myself if I woke tomorrow and was any one of them

Renounce the flesh. Temper your desires while lessening your appetite. Lessen your labors and remain in your cell. Do this and you will know peace.

First, when there's a nagging feeling that you can be doing better (which everyone has now given the ease of dating), that dilutes the feelings you have for the person you're with. Second, because access to an infinite variety of porn means that sex is no longer something fundamentally intimate and mysterious, the act itself becomes something entirely physical, like a form of mutual masturbation.

Love doesn't arrise from the base physical pleasure of sex. Love is woven in the words and actions found outside of the bedroom.
If you find youself lusting after intimacy but you are not willing to commit yourself to the actions required to be a loveable, admirable individual you will never find Love. Lust comes to us all, but only the individuals who know that they deserve its rich rewards will be able to reap the benefits, otherwise it is an unearned momentary pleasure that will never be wholly satisfied.
This is why porn is such a problem, it allows you to satisfy your lustful cravings without requiring the individual effort and will required to DESERVE the rewards.
