Why do people struggle to feel real love?
Relationship Stress / by GreyGriffin93

...See more I'm so messed up right now. My (ex)boyfriend and I stopped talking to each other suddenly because he's so jealous of my indeed very light past. He used to treat me like a sex toy lately just to please his needs with his behaviour. I mean he didn't do so when in person because we had a relationship from distance. I got his frustration, I was facing the same issues of emptiness of not being able to be with my lover! As a selfish he is he broke up with me just by unfriending me from social media. To mention I'm 27 years old, he's 21 and I know he's young enough to reflect the consequences of his actions. What hurt me the most is the fact that he gave me so many promises and said he was in love with me. But how can egoism be stronger than love? I guess he was lying to me the whole time because if you care about someone you don't push them to the edge, especially for something that's not even your business. I feel betrayed, I never thought that person would destroy something beautiful just to please his sexual needs. I may sound like a teenager but I'm serious when I'm saying that we weren't like most gay couples. There are strong feelings and we shared something unique. We love each other but I think meaningless sex is what he needs. I can't hate him though! My point is, why do people give up so easily? How can someone tell you he loves you so much and the other day breaking up? Why can't people feel love nowadays? Why is there all this narcissism and rawness? 🥺😔

...See more Hi everyone, I've written many times in 7cups and I've received so much love. I've been struggling with many issues for years. I can't include many details so I want to share with you my conflicts. First of all, I'm 27 years old, I'm gay and I have a hard time accepting my sexuality but lately I feel so much better with it and I strongly believe I'm on the right path. However, I'm an anxious person in general. I was bullied at school for years and until today I don't know why. So growing up my anxiety and my fear have consumed me and I can't move on. I'm afraid to find a good job (that's why I'm working from home), I'm afraid to talk to people in authority, I feel insecure all the time and I feel paralyzed when I have to make huge steps and changes. Since 2017 I feel anxious and depressed almost all the time. I hide my feelings and I only talk to a few friends when I can't stand of myself anymore. Everyone thinks I'm happy but I've been hiding behind a huge smile since I remember myself. My parents have no clue about any of these and they just believe I'm sad because I'm in pain due to my rheumatoid arthritis (which I think was the result of my fragile emotions of fear, anxiety and confusion of my sexual orientation). I feel lonely and depressed! I don't know whether I suffer from depression, social anxiety, or is just a result of hiding my true self from everyone. I can't afford a therapist and I'm in total despair. All I want to know is what's wrong with me!

...See more Hi everyone I'm George, I feel super overwhelmed right now and it feels like I have no one to talk to. For the last two years I keep facing myself everyday. As a kid I was bullied at school and never talked about it to anyone, later as a teenager I started to struggle with my sexuality and 'til now I can't accept the fact that I'm homosexual. Later on, when I was 17 years old my body started to abandon me, I was in terrible pain and I suffered from mild depression. Visiting a doctor and after many tests I was told I've got an autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis to be exact, which makes my life even harder than before. So, having to deal with all these problems, I ended up being a 27 years old man who has no job, lives with his parents and can't please his partner the way he'd like. My social anxiety feels really severe and I feel so ashamed to ask for help. I don't feel nervous when I'm in public or in a club and places I'll have fun. My anxiety shows up when I have to make a phone call, visit a doctor or talk to people in social services. In general I'm so afraid of people in authority! Because of all these things I mentioned above, I always end up being paralyzed and I can't go with the flow of our society. My biggest problem is that I'm afraid to work. I feel like someone is going to hurt me and I'll be making mistakes constantly. The thing is I know that these thoughts are irrational and don't make any sense to most of the people but.. How can I help myself?

Am I a sex addict?

...See more Hello, I really need to share my thoughts with you because I'm going crazy right now! Well, I am a 25 years old ( maybe gay ) man and since I was a kid I've liked masturbating, not by watching porn, mostly in my thoughts . The last time I had sex with another person was 10 years ago and hence that was the last time I had any physical contact with someone, but I've never stopped masturbating. I always considered myself a sex addict because I couldn't stop doing it. Every time I go out I stare at other men that I find attractive and I want to have sex with them but because I can't do this ( nobody knows I'm attracted to men so I can't express myself and fulfil my desires as well), I masturbate thinking of us having sex. In the past I had tried to abstain from masturbation but after 3 days I was starting all over again. Another time I withstood for 9 days but the same again. Recently, I promised to myself that I should do something. My life seems meaningless and I've got trouble to join society. So today it's been 23 days since the last time I pleasured myself and all these days I had no problem refraining, but emotionally I am a rack. My question is: Do you believe I am a sex addict or just a sexually oppressed person who is looking for physical contact? Thanks!
