I'm in love with a streamer… 

Me with Dr Alok

I love how objective and nonjudgmental this sweet youtube man is

Sometimes as a woman I'm afraid to smile at other men I pass on the street because I don't want to be perceived as hitting on them. But no one ever takes it that way! I smile at everyone when I remember to do it and it's so nice when their face brightens and they smile back. You never know how that can change someone's day! I've been down when a stranger's smile cheered me up as well.❤️☀️😊

This happened with me personally. I watched a lot of small streamer; Some guys, some girls. I really enjoyed the personal feeling those streams had, making it extremely parasocial. It was like online acquaintances. One female streamer I watched, ended up being my first crush. At the time, I didn't really know what to do. I first recognized that the viewer/streamer relationship wasn't proper for these feelings. Because I was in that relationship, I couldn't make it personal (harm to her future business interactions w others). After deliberation, I came to the conclusion that I should create distance, using the affection and love I have for them. I don't want my romantic feelings to hurt her. After giving it space, I realized that she wasn't the be all end all. There are other amazing people out there in day to day life, not just streamers. The reason why I was attracted was due to creators portraying themselves as both really fun and interesting, and/or always present, which is absolutely skewed. Editing, planned out streams, intent to entertain rather than interact. I got caught up in that illusion. I managed to see the light of day, and now am connecting with peers, starting the relationships I wanted or needed. I hope anyone who is reading this can learn from my story. Thank you for reading, have a wonderful day.

I got really into a couple of smaller streamer communities when I was in university. The social support helped, but I ended up leaning away from one of these communities because the parasociality was making things kinda weird on my end. The streamer did absolutely nothing wrong, but I kinda just had to walk away.

What's so great about this channel is that I still manage to take away something even if the topic is not something I'm currently dealing with ✨

This actually makes me feel better about parasocial relationships as a tool. Right now, I live in a kind of social desert in that the local culture is extremely toxic. I’m not terribly lonely, but I’m not in a good spot to form relationships while I plan a move. So basically, this video makes me more comfortable using the “artificial water” as an easy way to sate my thirst until I make it out of the desert.

The larger issue here that I can't wrap my head around is the incongruency between sexual drive and sexual availability. It's incredibly frustrating as a guy to have an incredibly high libido irrespective of the social or life situation you're in. It's like a misfiring biological signal that serves to make your life hell.

Dr. K out here cutting amouranth's viewer count in half

It feels REAL good to get acknowledged by your favorite Vtuber by writing in Chat. Though I'm not at the level this person has described I've noticed the loneliness manifesting. When I watch too much of my favorite streamer I start to get irritated and jealous when other people get acknowledged but not me. If I don't stop it right there I become more desperate to have my interaction to the point of forming negative thoughts of the streamer I like so much. it's a really dangerous slope. I did notice that after fighting the compelment to be there for every single stream and spending time with other things those feelings tend to go away rather quickly. The human mind really isn't ready for all this fake cheese.

I basically live on youtube or watch shows that immerse/make me feel invested in the family/relationships on screen. It makes me forget that I'm lonely and kind of staves off the pain of feeling disconnected. Currently recovering from back surgery and have not been able to spend as much time with friends. Last night I couldn't sleep. My thoughts were racing and I cried a lot. After having spent time with friends yesterday who have healthy and genuine connections with friends and their mothers, I was overwhelmed by the feeling that the connection I seek feels impossible. I had that connection with my sister but she passed. I feel like I'm "too old" and that it's too "late in the game" to forge relationships that feel meaningful. Then I'm left thinking "what's the point?" :/ Sometimes I wish I didn't care. That I could go back to when I relied on myself and didn't feel a need to want to be connected with others.

If I by chance ever run in to Dr.K I will defiantly deliver a bro-nod.

parasocial relationships can be quite healing and comforting as well, in a good way. because nowadays through social media and the internet, we can connect with people we wouldn't have been able to connect with. on the other hand, when we if we are not making a reality check from time to time, this can be devastating and feel more lonely than ever. very interesting topic.

I’m kinda guilty of this, but in my case I wouldn’t call it “love” more so just crushes, but then I did a reality check and realised those streamers are only there to entertain you, take your money, etc.. i really don’t think they’re there to “be your friend/romantic partner”... And if they’re big steamers or are growing, they’ll be busy and focus more on their content and so on, which is fine since I get people gotta make a living somehow I guess. Just be careful, because you really don’t know someone behind the screen unless you actually know them in person and I don’t care if I’m sounding like a boomer lol. Harsh, but I learned that the hard way.

I think the problem today is that in the past there was no "fake cheese" and you were forced to either find a way to get along with others, at least a few others, or you retreated to complete solitude in the woods. There was nothing else. I don't watch streamers, but I am guilty of using RU-vid and reddit to dull my loneliness or anxiety that people I think I am friends with secretly hate me. Now we can live in this weird state of not being fulfilled but not feeling the desperate need either. I've wasted years of my life for this.

I love how the nod is a universally understood thing

This is extremely solid advice, particularly starting around 26-27 minutes. I was a lot more like the guy who posted, and since I've been working where I do/pushing to get better, I've seen a lot of improvement. It takes time, potentially a long time, but it works pretty damn well. It helps A LOT for anxiety, social awkwardness, getting away from parasocial relationships etc.

This is exactly why I stopped watching Twitch altogether. The closest thing you can get to a relationship there is friends in chat or a small streamer that can see what you type. Even then it's still imitation cheese. Also, about the perceptions. I was struggling with productivity with job searching for the last 3 months. I ended up finally getting a job, but it would not have been possible without me going to the coffee shop regularly. It helped me focus and engage with the coffee, and environmental stimulation.

I’m female, but live in a small village, so everyone greats each other, so the head nod from a male wouldn’t really be weird. If someone head-nodded me in the supermarket, I would assume it was a neighbour I wasn’t recognising for some reason.

I'm terrified of a psychopath streamer and I believe he is going to break into my home and kill me. His name is Jeremy Elbertson and he is a COMPACT psychopath.

Props to the original poster and to Dr. K. The first one pretty brave, and the good Dr. explained really well. Even though I've never been in a parasocial relationship, nor have I ever been addicted to porn, I *did* developed other addictions (mostly because I am a post-30 diagnosed ADHD combined type, and I developed other ways to cope with the dopamine neurotransmitter imbalance that comes with the condition before knowing about it) so I feel Dr. K's explanation works pretty well to that too

The informations here are so usefull. even if you don t have the specific problem addressed here, you can still apply the knowledge to other situations.

I had many "affections" toward streamers or influencers but I knew it's similar to how you admired celebs or someone famous. My problem would be more about "I thought we're friends" scenario. It's like a small community with few people interest in the same topics, and the person whom started it is a streamer. Well the community was still tiny with 1-digit people involved and some of them are his real life friends. Problem is I thought it is nice to be friends with fellow people that interest in the same topics, but the other party only think of me as "stranger from the internet" even though we had some discussions about the thing we're interested in. I mean normally for me I'd think of others as "potentially good friends" if they're interested in the same stuffs, maybe one day I could meet them eyes to eyes. But it seems this kind of mindset isn't work for a lot of people, I got ghosted from a lot of people. Well I'll continued to be me and that's enough.

My current situation with parasocial relationships is kinda complicated. The streamers I watch the most are Vtubers, and I feel like there's a weird gray area when it comes to them. Am I attracted to the person behind the anime avatar, or am I attracted to the character that they present themselves as on stream? There are a lot of them that I watch like you would with any other content creator, but there's one in particular that I have become infatuated with. I don't exhibit the typical parasocial behaviors though. I don't get upset or jealous when she doesn't read my chat messages, I don't give her money, and I know logically that there's no way we could ever be together. But everything about her represents what I find attractive in a woman. I've justified it by thinking that I'm not so much in love with her in specific, but that I'm in love with the idea of someone else who is like her IRL if that makes sense. Idk if that makes me creepy or if that's super unhealthy, but that's how it's been for me.

those who downvoted initially had the same problem and they don't want to admit it.

I use the nod so much when I'm at the gym. I mainly use it when I'm trying to get around somebody when walking from one area to another and I want to show someone that I acknowledge they are there but I need to move by.

"imitation water" can be like sodas, coffee, or alcohol. Sometimes after a long day, I'll feel a little anxious, distracted, and/or have a mild headache and when I really think about it, the last time I'd have had just straight-up water will have been over a half a day ago. It's like my throat doesn't feel dry so it takes me a while to figure out that I'm kinda dehydrated, but once I finally hydrate I feel considerably better. I like the analogy!

Now I'm waiting for the "I'm in love with a stripper" T-Pain parody cover

The part about thirst and how your brain wants the quick fix is so true. Bite through the pain

The 90s had it solved: keep it real. The internet is like mainlining social-adjacent experiences directly into your veins, you gotta keep it real to keep everything in perspective and in proportion

The last question helped me really to realize what type of person I am. great question and answer

that water analogy is so damn good

Where you talk about evolutionary itches and things; is there at all any sort of difference when it comes to VRChat? Or VR porn? I think that concept, or the possibilities of how much it can effect us, and what ways it effects us in, etc, is massively interesting to me - especially considering that the main culture on Vrchat is that most people go there specifically because they are lonely or have social anxiety irl.

About bro-nodding to women: when asked, many women would say that's totally ok, wholesome even, but might react differently if it happened to them IRL. One thing is to think about while watching a video in a community they feel safe in, other thing is to see it from a stranger. I'm not saying to never do that, but to consider it may not be well-received.

This is basically the movie "Her"

My parasocial relationship is anime romances.

Given the health crisis represented by diabetes linked to sugary drinks, the "fake water" analogy is scarily apt.

Although I don't have any parasocial relationships per se. I did have a porn addiction (now one month free of porn and going) and I have fallen behind in terms of intimacy and relationships. I could still relate to much of this advice. Very helpful! Thanks.

A good analogy for the fake water is actually soda! They put a decent amount of salt in in, so even though it feels like youre getting your thirst quench, it's designed to make you need to drink more!

I really needed to hear this. Thank you Dr k

I love the content here. I am actually on ADHD medicine nown. I made the appointment on my own and even went on my own. lol I feel like a child.

Wasn't expecting this video on my recommended this morning.

3:10 well I know 1 thing for sure from observing smokers (because I'm not one my self) when a person does something and he is aware that it is bad for him, he is probably doing it because if he doesn't it would be worst, because he will be too nervous and irritable, if he wasn't a smoker. But the medicine is in the dose if you take too little it wont work, take too much and it starts to be detrimental. Even if you need water to live too much of it will drown you. 3:42 if by crushes you mean the warm feeling in your chest well it's normal if you are emotionally available and if the woman is emotionally unavailable chance are that you are going to be ghosted. I don't really have statistics to back it up but I have chased these girls/women that made me feel this warm feeling and it never worked well now that I know about Attachment Styles I found out that in the core of the problem lies that one person is emotionally available (EA) and the other is emotionally unavailable(EU) . Second : traditionally men are EU and women are EA but realistically there are EA men and EU women. So man that is EU wouldn't really have much problems finding an EA woman if he goes by todays dating standards, but if the man is EA even if he answers to modern standards for quality man he will struggle in dating. And then there are those man that are not applicable to modern standards and are EA well for them is even harder to find a date. 4:10 yeah trying to connect to people that are not looking for such kind of connection. 7:05 you know it's actually quite simple you watch porn to satisfy your physical urges but if you feel emotionally connected to someone your physical urges get directed towards them, only problem I see here is that it is one sided you get emotionally invested to someone that doesn't even know that you are emotionally invested in them, and well some people hold much higher value to emotional intimacy but they also may have high need for physical intimacy. 7:38 Well do you feel lonely because you need sex, do you feel lonely because you lack deep emotional connection or is because of both. 8:05 well said but does the other human being wishes to connect to you, well I know one thing EU people are not fans of emotional connections. 10:40 it's not that the positive motivations are not enough it's that the negative motivations that outweigh the positive and when you use the 'imitation cheese' well the negative motivations are none existent well at least short term in the long run it might be more detrimental, but when each time when you weigh your options and remember how it felt last time when you got emotionally invested in someone and he ghosted you/rejected you, well then 'imitation cheese' starts to look hot. So unless you heal those feelings of rejection I don't think you will refuse the 'imitation cheese'. Another thing don't invest emotionally in some one if you don't know that he wants emotional intimacy and you know being ghosted when you try to explain that you look for emotional intimacy in a relationship is the best que you can get another thing is that EU people do not like to feel vulnerable or talk about feelings that also might lead you to the answer of the question. For me no matter how odd it seems if I feel that warm feeling in my chest it means that woman is feeling EU towards me and the reason might not be that she is with such character, it might be because she is with someone else, or interested in someone else, or grieving, or isn't looking for a committed relationship in any case it means that this woman will not give me return on my emotional Investment. 11:09 well the connection might not be real but your feelings are real, sadly one sided, and when the alternative is go there on the dating market and get ghosted/rejected at the first mention of your emotional needs, well same way as with porn when you have emotional needs you have to somehow meet them or else you feel unhappy, unsatisfied and neglected (well what do you know just like a woman), but you are not a woman you are a man so you neither have an option to satisfy your sexual needs, nor have an option to satisfy your emotional needs, and believe me when both are not satisfied life is not a pleasant experience, so you'd rather porn and parasexual relationships, instead of total depravation, because then your only option is becoming a monk. 11:20 if you have read "Golden Boy" manga there is one arc that explains that quite well to put it simply, when you didn't have any water in a week even piss tastes great, do that enough times and you will no longer be interested in water the same way as piss. And well if we replace water with feelings you get my metaphor. 13:10 I hope you are aware that most of the time reality saxs big time. 14:00 The images might be fake but the emotion is real, you know that's why we enjoy movies because of the emotions they make us feel, and there is the Japanese idiom Hana Yori Dango (花より団子) means “food is better than flowers”, but I always tend to remember it Dango Yori Hana, which flips it's meaning to "flowers are better than food", but well if I had to be honest you wouldn't really enjoy the flowers on an empty stomach, but once you can afford that you are more inclined to give to your soul instead of your stomach. 14:22 well your brain makes difference between real danger and imaginary danger and you know real danger is really heavy negative motivator while imaginary danger is quite light. 15:20 see negative motivators outweigh positive motivators most of the time it's like survival instinct, well gladly we have curiosity that in some cases can even outweigh the strongest negative motivator that is fear. 16:05 your alternative = no connection at all, your brain (one sided connection) => (no connection). 17:04 You don't need to fantasize when you can just remember. 17:42 the curiosity of how much of that fantasy is a reality. 19:02 well I earlier asked the question "Does the woman wants to connect with you", on the same level, should be added to that. Because if your need for emotional connection is higher that hers well it doesn't help for the relationship to go smoothly. 24:30 well I said it earlier unless you heal the emotional wound from previous failures it's not really an option to give another try to a real relationship, and the sad thing is that try will probably end up like the previous one because you don't know why the previous failed (you didn't get any feedback or worst you got false feedback). So you have to also figure what you are doing wrong before making another attempt and when you figure that out maybe the curiosity to see if it works will motivate you to try again.

you should view streamers like you view actors, like scarlwtte johanson. Just bc she's playing a flirty character in a movie doesnt mean she wants you, she is just putting on an act bc its her job.

because I'm an asexual I don't get the carve for pursuing sexual relationship but instead I form a parasocial relationship in the form of a family relationship, growing up I've always obeyed my parents to the point I got left alone at an early age because they see me as a good boy that understand what they're trying to teach me, when in fact I was just pinpoint what they want from me and acting like it without understanding it just to avoid punishment, being left alone by them made me feel lonely and this results in me looking for parental connection online, thankfully I didn't get into the weird side of the internet and just watch youtube creators and imitate their ideal personalities just like how a ducklett following their mother duck and see them as my parental figure, this behavior of seeking for family connection goes on for 8-10 years to the point I can make a family trees for subtitutes to replace my biological family and I feel comfortable with that Ludwig's parasocial relationship actually opened my eyes and made me realize how wrong this actually is, I didn't immediately stop this behavior but at least I got it toned down and made me feel a lot better than before when creators doesn't acknowledge me, I still cling into the parasocial relationship just to comfort the absence of relationships in my life, but now I'm able to see if I got too invested in someone's life and back off of it after this I just wanted to share how this parasocial behavior affects me growing up, thanks for reading this far since I only watched english speaking contents and animes as my reference on how to interact with other people, I ended up picking up american/japanese culture as my own, this results in me seeing how much behind my actual country's culture is and ended up disliking it and forming xenophobia to my own country, this xenophobia made me have a hard time communicating and getting a job in my country, I grew up in a financially poor environment so I can't just move to another country and get a new life somewhere that fits who I became to be, so now I've started to try and change myself and learning to understanding my country's culture from scratch as an adult to survive and either come into terms with my country's culture or saves up money to emigrate somewhere

I do the bro nod and a smile at anyone I happen to walk past in like a narrow hallway or on a sidewalk if we can clearly see each other approaching. Male or female, doesn't matter. It's just a sort of acknowledgement of one another to break the tension as we pass and go on our respective ways.

I no longer know what I would have a relationship for? All I can see are the loner-benefits I'd lose and the responsibilities I'd gain.

the "most replayed" moment near the end goes along exactly with Dr. K's hand as its going up and down 30:29

When someone nods at me I often think they might know me and I forgot and then I get nervous and anxious

Dude, I LOVE that you brought up the bro-nod, it's absolutely essential to being a social-friendly person. If you make eye contact with people, just give 'em a little "wuddup" with the nod. Don't make it weird, keep it platonic, smiling is cool, but yeah, it's such a good tool. Also I DO use the shaka-brah/hang ten symbol too, but it's more of an ironic meme, it usually makes people laugh lol you can't keep it still, you have to shake it like a major dumdum. For me, it just shows people you're benign, no bad intentions, just trying to get by and spread good vibes. Never stare at someone while doing it lol use it to give off the feeling you're a cool person just doing your thing, and not trying to attract someone. I find it's best used when you're already handing someone a compliment like "Oh shit I love your Prince shirt lol -shaka shaka-" and then keep walking. - Unless they start a convo, in which case you talk about Prince for 10 minutes and debate whether or not you think he actually made it out of the Jehovah's witnesses or not before he passed- or whatever the case may be lol. I personally think he did make it out, because by the end of his career therre were reports he'd had a blood transusion for a hip surgery, and a lot o this art and music featured psychedelic influences like the "third eye", pretty obvious references to either having evolved spiritually.

Great drop today. Happy 4th everyone.

7:11 I feel the need to comment that science is inherently slower then any studied effect, since science require observation of the phenomenon first before anything else, which create an inherent (though not constant between studies) overhead

It’s an achievement that we can see a post like this.

Well, from my own experience matching up with documented experiments and prosthetics research: Your brain just adjusts to whatever comes in after a while. 1 example you can test immediately without any tools and pretty fast. Only limitation your eyes need to sorta work. Legally blind is probably still good enough in most cases: Close your eyes and cover them with your hands, our goal is close to absolute darkness as possible. At some point you will see some kind of sparks flaring up, not exactly like real like but you will notice. This is just your brain ramping up sensitivity until you see signal noise. In other words if you can get a robotic prehensile tail in the future you will likely just get used to it like in the Dilbert comic.

I remember this song from when I was younger!

You hit me right where it hurts FFFFF

Bro nod is fine. It's like a "have a good day" or a "I acknowledge your existence"

Is that Oompaville in the thumnbail? Mutahar/SomeOrdinaryGamer is on a podcast with them, so he'd be easy to get.

What if you slowly get to talk to that streamer on a personal level? On the offline, on their free time? It's not unknown of a viewer getting close to a streamer/youtuber and even in a relationship (pewds/marzia when pewds wasn't big is an example). Not trying to legitimaze it but, does this offline contact makes it "better"?

I think the "bro nod" thing might be cultural. I think I would feel creeped out when any stranger would nod at me because I simply wouldn't know what it means and my brain would start to generate possibilies and that would be exhausting and I would prefer to avoid that in the future.. However, it is a normal thing to greet or nod at neighbours who you don't really know but have seen them enough that you recognize them. And since I live in a 10 story building I just tend to greet anyone I see in the building because there is no way to know everyone (plus I am not that good at remembering people unless I see them really often or they somehow stand out). P.S. I'm from Poland btw.

i dont think i have ever come across a random nod on the street from a stranger (male or female) to know how i would take it. i do think that since i have never had a bro-nod directed at me, i would go down a "do i know this person" route, more than a "what a creep" route.. specially cause my eye sight is not the best and i have neglected to wave to people i actually know on the street cause i just dont recognize them. i have randomly nodded at strangers before, specially when i realize i have been staring into space into their general direction and suddenly our eyes connect and "oh shit what do i do", so i just do a quick downward nod (cause upwards can be challenging) and avert my eyes

When you need a chord cutting ritual to get over a fictional character...

Bro I'm stricken by Dua Lipa I swear. Like I'm never gonna meet her but damn is she good looking.

13:26. This is the great part

We need a clip of him trying the bro nod on woman and telling us about it.

me and Jerma985

The comment about feeling fulfilled through video game accomplishments rather thannreal life ones hit home.

Humans need to stop using love for infatuation, maybe we need a new word lol something that fits right between the 2 a new word for "love" Love is something I have for my friends and mother :l people in my inner circle.

Try adding chat to the videos, thanks!

We weren't prepared for the internet and now we are slowly learning.

There are some influencers I follow on YT and I've found myself getting angry when they don't like or 'heart' or respond to my comments. I've not gone so far as to subscribe on Patreon to reactors but I find myself looking forward to their content and it doesn't hurt that they're easy on the eyes, but it really does speak to a lack of fulfilling opposite sex relationships in my life. I'm married but am very often far away from home due to work and managing property that is far away from where my family lives and my relationship with my wife has been troubled for the past few years due to differences in political leanings and values when it comes to our relationship and our kids. It is often difficult to feel connected to my wife because we have some fundamental incompatibilities in our views about religion, culture, how we should prepare our kids for an uncertain future with how unstable things seem in out country right now, but also because she is very anxious and I am very avoidant, amont other things. The 'parasocial relationships' I have with reactors and streamers seem to be filling a void - like an attractive woman who is an influencer, reacting to genre films which my wife doesn't particularly like, I've noticed myself wrestling with the question of "Do I allow myself to indulge in a fantasy about this person who I will likely never meet? Is it harmful or is it a case of what wife doesn't know won't hurt her?" I have to stop myself from becoming too invested in what could be very easily interpreted as a real interaction in the comment section or on Twitter. I also have found myself very angry at some specific reactors when they post thirst-trap thumbnails and/or I find out that they are on OnlyFans and it makes me suspicious of their motives for posting reaction videos because I feel like they are farming followers for their profit motive. I don't want to judge anyone but it seems like such an obvious sales tactic, and I don't respect OF as a way to make a living unless you are a sex worker. Not to mention how harmful the OF can be to the neurology of the followers.

This is good advice for quitting pornography in general

I am a woman and I actually bro-nod most of the time because I cannot get myself to say something. My anxiety is really something haha

When Dr. K starts with "So sometimes .... " you know it's going to be o.o -> O.O

I don't think I've ever experienced a parasocial crush on a streamer. It's probably due to my inability to feel connections online because it feels draining for me. I will say that I do get invested in creators friendships as a way to feel what it's like to have those experiences. I would say this would also apply to other's romantic relationships, where I get invested in them and enjoy watching their interactions because I don't have that. I guess that's my parasocial experience.

I feel like information technology causes more problems than it solves. We are starting to see a breakdown in the social wellbeing of most people. Large swaths of men are isolated islands with very little ambition and satisfied with the synthetic and virtual. Lots of wemon are realizing the power of sex appeal in the modern digital age and simply can't ignore how lucrative it is. The apathy that the internet has created is breeding complacency in the economy and politics. We live in a world of overstimulation, it may also be a world of ease and comfort, but we aren't built for it.

12:48 "now we don't even feel thirsty because we're drinking this imitation water...and now *urine* a lot of trouble"

A bro nod is not creepy but I wouldn't know what it meant because it's something I typically see between men. But yeah a smile with no other gesture or indication of interaction is just nice and I smile back.

I'm sorry Dr. K but I can't stop watching your streams and I won't 🎉

I have a crush on a streamer, granted never been sexual as I don't know what she looks like but I love her authenticity and personality. I thought the solution to this crush was to become well off enough to get close to her world, and maybe there's a chance to meet her, and maybe there's a chance she'd want to meet me. if not that'd really suck but at least I'm well off and my horizon for finding someone would be wider than now

Omg I'm a chick and I catch myself doing the "bro nod"at work I didn't know it was a thing 🤣

jeez this made me re-evaluate my attitude to imitation cheese ......

21:34 the covid panic in a nutshell

"There's no reason a fake can't do what the real thing would. And it's possible for a fake to be more real than the real thing."

ok so now how do i go from nodding at randos to actually forming a relationship?

For me the issue is not getting rejection, but rather me rejecting them. I just fail to feel attracted and when I finally do, it's either a fictional character or some random youtuber. Even then I don't have the drive to be in a relationship.

Y'all don't realise how much of this explain behavior and the success of a night club/strip club

People dont like me, i dunno what i’m doing wrong, neither does my therapist, he says that i’m a modest and kind at heart, but he cant find a reason why people dont like me. I try different approaches to meeting and talking to people, but it just hasnt worked out. This has been going for about 5 years now. It all started when i tried to date people. Only 1 out the 6 went well. In the end, i got cheated on 5 times in a row, and the 6th one was a break-up in good terms. I’m 19 now, and still have no good relations to anyone, except my parents. God i hope i’m not a narcisist or anything like that. I’m always told that everything will work out in the end, but i’m running out of patience and like actual time. I’ll be conscripted next July, and i’m anxious for this to repeat in the army of all places. I simply dont know what i’m doing wrong.

Who is streamer on the splash art ?

so if a stay hungry enough time i can stop the hunger? that sounds like a better life in my opinion

T-Pain has to make a new song calles Iam N Luv (with a streamer) xd

as a woman i also do the bro nod at times. esp to other POC. also the slight finger wave from the steering wheel when driving down an empty road and passing another car going the opposite way. people love that shit.
