>>9982096Validation from yourself/within is the literal definition of being masculine. Needing validation from others is feminine. But I was in your shoes until i was 27. A feminine bluepilled yesman who was thinking just like you. A heartbreak after 3 years is what woke me up and now I couldn't care less what others think of me. I cure my negative thoughts by driving off far away with basic camping tools and some provisions and spend a day alone in nature. Sometimes forests, sometimes mountains. Concrete life is fucking depressing. Go out alone into nature, bring only the necessary. Avoid using phone unless emergency. Set up camp and chill the fuck out. Listen to nature. Take a piss and shit in nature. Get reconnected to nature and you'll cure any depression. It's not natural for humans to live in cities with thousands and millions of unknowns. If you have no car to drive, take a bike. Get a used one dirt cheap. Learn how to fix a bicycle tyre and on with your rucksack and go. The sea is also a good option, don't need a boat. Fishing from land is very relaxing or just chilling by the sea far away from civilisation is also good. Just get out in nature and think about life.
