Yet another summer with the same problem, not meeting any women.
I would never admit it to a woman since it would dry them up like the Aral sea, but living like this feels pointless. I cant focus properly on my studies. What's the point of staying alive and grinding out your life for days and years when you have to live without intimacy? experiencing no touch with a woman, forgetting what it even feels like from the few short spots of your life that youve felt it. All you see are thirst traps online, and stonefaces offline, but since you fear bothering women you dont look much at them anyway. Youre theoretically surrounded by thousands of women, but still utterly isolated.
I dont want to live like this shit... i want to change it. I am already done with online dating. But i dont see how cold approaching could possibly work... youll be bothering them inappropriately, doing something "weird" which is not part of the culture, have to work out things to say and do that somehow enable a stranger to feel instant attraction for you and dont make the encounter a cringe, and even after that there is an abysmal success rate.
The only relief i have right now is Schopenhauer's explanation of this life and planet like a penal colony or penitentiary..
