You didn’t prioritize relationships. You chased money and now realize that money after a point is just a huge safety net. All you’ve done is check boxes. Go to Europe, check. Buy a toy, check.

When you die, nobody will give a shit about the toys.

Stop looking at what people brag about (money, travel, toys) and concentrate on relationships.

Look at it this way - unless you have some physical impairment, how is it that you’re so successful, yet not ONE person wants to be your partner? The answer of course is you haven’t made yourself interesting and attractive to ANYONE.

Either you don’t go out enough to find her, don’t engage enough, don’t take care of yourself enough, etc.

Make it your priority, work on it like a real problem, and see where it gets you.




Does this "tough love" bullshit work on anyone? This whole comment is just neg after neg. "Yeah dude, you're right, you suck ass! Maybe you should try sucking less, bro!"


I agree. Whenever someone has tried this approach with me the result has always been me shutting down and avoiding to confide in that person. I am already tough in myself, that's why I always feel like a failure, I don't need this kind of stupid anime protagonist motivational speech bullshit.
