How would I know if I'm depressed? Or simply down?
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I'm not expert, but when people are down they come here and write a huge essay, wallowing in self-pity.
Those two short, unmotivated sentences do seem depressing.
In any case, here is not the place to should be to get diagnosed.

Thinking too much leads to depression. I always feel for guys like you because I was once there. Anyways do yourself a favor and watch this. Also research Eckhart Tolle.

Depression is constantly asking yourself "what's the point?" when faced with every small task in life. If it seems that everything is pointless, then you are probably depressed.

I only have 1 question for Tolle.n00bPimp said:
How am I supposed to determine my future if I don't constantly think about it?
@Bible_Belt:
I sort of think that way, I look at the dark side of everything, I say what's the point in trying because I'm going to fail anyways. Also a lack of motivation.
Idk..
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
I see that you are 17. I know it may not feel that way now, but it might be a phase. Or it could be more serious. Best to see a professional regarding these things. The #1 most important thing when determining whether you have a mental 'disorder' is the "... and affects every day life to the point of being detrimental" criterion. Remember that.

It doesn't affect me so much to the point my life is ruined, but i does give me a bad outlook to life in general. Makes me feel like **** for a week straight.

Your future is determined by your present actions, thus; you can determine your future without resisting the moment.Theminatar said:
You must adapt a new mindset. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you think you're gonna fail, then you'll probably fail.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Deep stuff though, it makes sense.Theminatar said:
Many people believe that thinking about their future is the same as planning for it. Its not the same thing. You can plan for your future and make a contingency plan in case something doesnt work out. Thinking about your future involves dwelling on the possibility of the negative outcome (aka. failure). This thought of failure overpowers you in the long run and you will end up dropping your plans and failing. You only fail when you give up.Theminatar said:
Eckhart Tolle teaches you to quiet your mind because this allows you control of your thoughts. When you don't let thoughts control you, and instead YOU CONTROL your thoughts, they will work for you. Since thoughts will always manifest themselves, you will control the things that manifest into your life. Whereas before you were not able to control your thoughts, and therefore were not able to control the things that manifested in your life.

But taking control is the hardest part.

look for the DSM-IV classification of depression 
What troubles you? Something specific?
Nevertheless whatever it is, don't think too much about it and especially don't stress about it. If you won't make it worse by over-thinking, analyzing etc. it will go away in 2 months at most. If it gets worse or it won't go away, you probably need a medication to help you out.
Whatever you are stressing about is not a big deal....it just seems like it because your brain is in stress mode. So don't worry. Try to eat well and hydrate, take some vitamins avoid narcotics and alcohol and make slight effort to keep it cool.
Don't be afraid. It's gonna be just fine.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
I guess, it is quite scary to realize you have your life in your own hands and your decisions will affect your life.
Try to trust the driver. You won't crash it, man, come on. Make some practice runs before you start speeding on a highway but otherwise you will be just fine.
It is fine to plan and prepare but it is also important to just apply the 'fvck it, it won't kill me' attitude.
It is in your genes. Your ancestors did well and so will you. You can even do much better.

If you're thinking to yourself, "I wish I would've done __insert inconsequential bullsh!t__ another way."
If you're looking back, you're not focused on the possibilities ahead.

depression leads to lower testosterone levels which leads to less *****, which leads to more depression.
snap the **** out of it.
when I find myself getting depressed, I do something I like. Then I feel better. If you try this and it doesnt work, then maybe you should talk to people who are not way too suave, e.g. church person, psychologist.
actually prostitutes listen really well too.

Stop what your doing right now and just stand back and observe your feelings. You'll quickly realize that you really have no problems right now at this moment.Theminatar said:
Your basically looking at your outside circumstances, if you foreseeable future in the next week, next day, 2 hours from now or 5 minutes looks favorable then you feel great. But if it looks bleak or uncertain then you will feel depressed or down.
The best thing to do is to forget about the future, let go of the past and focus on being happy right here, and right now.

Remember that its human nature to want to stay in your current emotional state.
As humans are concious of the conciousness itself; so we can break free of this, and decide what mood we want to be in; right NOW. Just smile. Just laught.
You dont laught because you're happy; you're happy because you laught.
Also realize that the essence of human freedom lies in the fact that unlike other creatures, man is self-aware, which means that we decide how we respond to any stimulus.
This means that all these things that you may think are either good or bad, are neither. You choose how you view things in your life. Are they gonna be problems, obstacles, or cheerleaders?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
