None of these threads will help until you are even at least willing to get around your obsessively flawed thought patterns.
This is painfully clear by reading how you repeat yourself,thread after thread, post after post, no matter what advice or suggestion you receive.

This is an insightful post. You are probably right. I think the mechanism at work is to protect myself from getting my hopes up then having my bubble burst. For example by thinking I am still young and going around chatting up young women and then learning that they think I am an old delusional "Peter Pan". It is probably because of social disappointments I have had in the past when I was younger.
