S**t where I ate, caught oneitis. Round 2?

[Visionist]

Yeah I hear you spikeanut. I always saw validation through women rather than hobbies or career as a mug's game but now that I still need to get over this oneitis (it lingers like a bad smell- my friends are all over her so I need to avoid them too) the only way is to game as much as possible, an attitude I haven't had in many years. In fact my hobbies give me no pleasure meanwhile. I'm still learning the culture and customs here (very different to Britain for better and for worse- AFC beta behaviour is actually lauded here by some, I've heard. I call bulls**t. It seems social circle game is encouraged as much as possible but it's always screwed me over) and make many mistakes. The idea is to learn from them.

I've become a bit more willing to seek-out social situations and I'm standing up for myself more with rude strangers.
