So.. if you ever felt like that... What did you do please? I don't wanna die.
I know what you're talking about. I felt that way for a few years after my last relationship went south. It was worse as I tried to overcompensate with wild women and partying. At the end of all that, though, those people didn't hang around, nor did I want them to.
What worked for me was getting comfortable with being with ME.
I then got a cat, after resisting for a long time due to touring schedules. Now that I am responsible for her well being, it's helped me stop being so morose and self centered.
Getting out of the house will help, also. Go biking, run, anything but sitting around.
DO NOT SELF MEDICATE. Getting high or drunk just sets you up for bad or unproductive behaviors.
If you think you may be depressed, go see a Dr. There's no shame in it, it may REALLY help and at least you will be making some forward strides for your own benefit.
About the "girl business".... Try not to be so impatient. The good ones are hiding behind the upraised skirts (legs) of the ones that will squash your heart like a bug. Once you get past the self pity part, are comfortabler with being with "you", the women (not "Girls") who are worthy of your attention will reveal themselves to you. I don't mean "expose themselves" that's something different. Remember, there are people who go through their whole lives alone, just smiling at another person may make their day, and might just lead to new friends.
Couldn't hurt.
