1averagejoe, you're just getting over her. It's normal that you're not functioning right. You probably are looking to fill a void you feel. Hang out with friends and surround yourself with people for some companionship.

If you made yourself angry instead of sad, wouldn't you feel more like working out?

I don't know...I've kind of gotten to the point where I'm tired of working out. I feel like it's going nowhere. Why can't I be my old self before I met her? I have been eating a lot healthier though. Interesting news as well...she and the guy that was kinda my friend broke up. That didn't last long.

Today's mother's day, spent it with the family and was kind of nice. I've also figured, since I'm not doing too well with working out. I'll try out hobbies or just working on stuff. So being the engineering nerd I am, I made a little something for my camera. I'm kind of proud of it...

Old mouse turned into a remote camera shutter release. $2 ghetto contraption attached to $1000+ camera. I'm sure I'll get funny looks with this one...lol. It's been a while since I've made an electronic device or whatever. I made a CMOY amplifier a while back, but it's broken now. I think that will be my next project, trying to fix that!

Thank you everyone!

Heads up, 1averagejoe.

Things will get better. That may not be much to go by. But perhaps you were in such a positive phase and you were riding a wave of energy before, so now you think that things aren't going well because you normalized.

Take a moment and just consider which things in your life you can be satisfied about and thank the lord for being blessed. I believe your life is going well but you think it should be going better.

It may not seem like it now but when bad things happen does make you appreciate the good things to come more. My poor bf was put through shit by his ex and now treat me amazingly and appreciates every little thing I do. My ex never appreciated a damn thing I did for him. So now I really appreciate my guy so much more. I love when he makes a big deal just about me giving a him a kiss randomly. You've done nothing wrong. You're a great person. Keep up with your activities and you're young you'll bounce back. Just remember something A LOT better is going to come along and me your like 10 times better.

Good luck.

BTW YEAY CALI even in record heat

Holy thread resurrection batman! Ok there's been worse.

I think I was going through a change and it was difficult for me to understand why and how to cope with it.Since then I've learned to accept it and realize I'm a-ok now. Things are going great for me right now. I'm doing everything I've wanted to do. Great paying internship, school went well, and I'm getting out cycling as often as I can training for the LA Bike Tour and saving up for a new bike for it.

Oh and for the weather, I was indoors with a/c all day at work. I didn't leave the building for 9.5 hours. Not even for lunch. So by the time I got out, the weather was really nice . And I went for a nice bike ride at the beach, the weather was awesome...but it was so damn crowded. Human walls of people that are oblivious of their surroundings. It's called a bike path morons. /rant.

A new bike would be nice...lol

But in all seriousness other than material possessions...maybe more close friends. I've never really been able to open up to a lot of people. I have one good friend that I can tell everything to and he's always been there when I needed help. But I've never really had a lot of friends. But I'm working on that now. School is out so well, making friends my age really isn't going to happen now. I've been working on my confidence and this internship has been great experience for me to learn to be confident, how to introduce myself and talk and start conversations with complete strangers. So when school comes around I'll see how that goes.

Other things I want...how about a bj? Sexual desires are constantly on my mind. But I'm a hormone crazy college guy, so that shouldn't be a big surprise. But that's not an issue anyways, I'm not one to whore myself out.

A girlfriend would be nice. Just someone to love and love me equally. Isn't that what we all want? I feel as if I've reached a point where I've moved on and I'm ready to meet others and date. I can look back on the past and I don't feel pain anymore. I laugh at the stupid things we've done. I'm happy I got to experience those stupid things because I've learned so much them and it's made me a better person.

And you shouldn't bother to.. Try and understand.., that most of these are fantasies.. driven by the porn industry.., and spilled over into comedy.., and other forms of media..

Such things are to be enjoyed.., (and desired) from the person you're in a relationship with.., outside of a relationship.., there's no reason you should have them flooding your mind.., do you really want some random girl sucking your cocksicle? No.., you don't want her to be just anyone.., in fact.., it takes a very special girl for you to feel good enough and trust enough to suck on it.., and do so because she wants to do so.., and for no other alternate or latent reason(s)

I think what you're feeling.., comes from the fact that mentally.., and due to your personality type.., you're on a much higher level than most people your age.., and again.., from your personality type.., i'm sure i'm not the first person you've heard that from either..

But.., although mentally.., you're on a much higher moral & intellectual level than most men.., (far from "average").., your desires are not in sync with your current life stage..

You don't want a girlfriend for sex.., rather.., not just for sex.., in fact.., you long to be in a serious relationship.., with all of the characteristics of a serious relationship.., imitating a married lifestyle or domestic partnership.., waking up together.., falling asleep together.., traveling together.., cooking together.., shopping together.., intimate sex together.., intimate non-sexual activities together.., deep emotional connection.. etc..

What you fail to understand.., is that the reality is.., there are many guys your age.., (19) who don't feel the same way.., I know.., it's not the majority.., but 25-40% is not a statistic that's easily overlooked.., so the reaction you may be getting.., is that of mistaken identity.., and yes.., the feeling you get is one of feeling unjustified for the reaction you got.., as well as anger.., hate.., confusion.., etc.. You're not able to shake it off.., laugh.., and move on to the next.., because that's not how you operate.., yet you are treated as if that's how you do.. (is it unfair? yes.., but guess what.., life is unfair)

The good news:

When you are finally done with college.., and as you continue to work on your body and when you're finally in the great shape you're comfortable with.., you are going to be one of those "too good to be true" guys.. The kind that women date and constantly ask.., "are you real? why me?".., the kind that her girlfriends go.., "omg you're so lucky.., he's such a great guy".., blah blah..

The reason is.., that many guys.., don't think like you.., there really are some top notch.., insensitive.., selfish.., assholes out there.. who have zero respect for women.., and yes.., the idea is so disgusting to even think about.., that you almost can't blame women for treating all men like these men.. But once they realize that you're not one of these guys.., it's like looking at an empty road at 4am.., with no cops and nothing but green lights from where your car is to as far as your eye can see..

If a girlfriend is what you desire.., and for the right reasons.., then you can more than satisfy that desire.., however.., I hate to break it to you.., but the reason you haven't done so already.., is the working of your own free choice.., prioritizing your education and personal growth.., and placing a "girlfriend" as a less important need.., making it seem that you don't have time for a relationship in your life right now.., it's not worth being in a relationship right now financially.., it could very well compromise other more important priorities in your life.., so by your own choice.., you are not actively seeking out girls as girlfriends.., you're very lax and relaxed.., almost waiting for it to just happen..

Because of that.., what controls.., is "fantasy".., hormonal sexual lust & desire.., and aggravated by stress and need for release and relaxation.., and because you know you're not the kind of person to engage in that kind of lifestyle.., you find yourself feeling frustrated.., and then down.., and the more you dwell on it.., anger.., depression.., anxiety.. Without realizing that this unfulfilled aspect in your life.., is not by consequence.., but by choice..

Best,

GrkScorp

Holy crap you're good...

Yes, I'm an introvert...I'm the kind of guy that sits down and analyzes everything and tries to figure out how it works inside and out. I'm not one to talk to people. Oh and I like working on cars, and I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering, lol.

I was just joking around about the bj. Yes it is a sexual desire brought about by fantasies. But like I said, I'm not one to go whoring myself out. What I meant was, that any sexual desire I have, I only want in a serious relationship. I'm not one to go screwing every girl that opens her legs for me. And it doesn't bother me. I have strong morals when it comes to that.

Well I wouldn't say I fail to recognize I'm on a whole different level as the guys my age. I agree with you on the fact that I'm on a whole different sync then people at my own age. It's hard to relate to people my age because well, it's college. I don't drink, and I have no intent to. I'm not the party kind of person...I find it boring to be honest. Don't like clubs, and most people in college act like they're still in high school. That's another reason I'm part of two engineering clubs at school. Because usually the people that are in them tend to be more mature and dedicated to their school work. But us engineers being introverts, the whole friends thing really doesn't go past school. So like I said I've become much more outgoing and confident with myself in this internship and I'll have to see how much I've changed when school starts up again.

I think you're right about wanting a girlfriend. I wouldn't say I haven't tried though. I have, already got shot down once. Really haven't tried much since then because well...I'm busy and not in really in school. I would agree on the financial burden of it and not having time. Relationships aren't cheap! Right now I'm working full time 5 days a week plus taking a night class 4 days a week which lasts till about 8:45pm. Weekends are usually occupied by helping parents around the house, we're remodeling one of our bathrooms. I'm actually helping right now, taking a break. And I'm also part of a club at my school that I'm still going to during summer. Plus, when I do have free time I usually spend it at the beach training for the bike tour I want to do.

I do feel like I'm emotionally ready to go dating and eventually have a relationship with someone...but logically I know I shouldn't right now because there are other priorities I have. Maybe during the school year when I've got more time. lol

Thanks Grk.

Thanks DM. Ya, looking back on those posts, I couldn't believe I felt and thought that way. That's nothing like me, I've never felt like that, and to be honest it's kind of scary what I went through. But it was the first time I've ever been in this type of situation. And just like the relationship, I learned a lot from this. I'm at school right now actually, I went there for one of the clubs right now, they said they'd be here till 6. Turns out they left early because it was too hot. So I'm going to go to hopefully practice my talking skills with some ladies, that is if I can find any here. Lol.
