Here's the most real advice I can possibly give you.

You're too obsessed with yourself to ever give that girl whatever it is she needs in this relationship. You're a selfish person even if the decisions you make aren't geared towards yourself. The inner you wants everything to be about you. I've been there. I've made decisions thinking it was about the girl but really it was about how making the decision would make me feel at the end of the day. It's like when a person gives money to a homeless person to make themselves feel better. "Look at what a nice thing I did. Good job, Exo. That was the right decision." Meanwhile, that homeless person just took your money and did whatever it is they do with money from strangers, leaving you on your nice cloud of self importance. It's out of your control because you didn't control the situation in order to drive an outcome for them. You control the situation to drive an outcome for yourself.

Homie, until you find somebody that makes you forget about your natural selfishness for a few moments each day, you're always going to feed the #1 person in the relationship, which is yourself.

^ Not to disagree with OH, who's put in a lot of hard teaching in difficult situations, but there is teaching and teaching. The money's not great, but I've been doing it for 27 years and still get a buzz out of my students. In good circumstances, teaching is a fun job, and even if it isn't for you, I imagine it can lead to other job opportunities: surely any interviewer understands and respects the skills needed to be a teacher.



^ Are you sure this is good advice, OH? No offense, but you sound more like Holden Caulfield than an adult in 2019. :p:

This is one reason I'm not that concerned with getting a girlfriend. A **** buddy would be ace but an actual girlfriend would be putting a pretty name on me getting fulfillment out of the concept of having a girlfriend. I ain't fit to be nobody's partner. Not at the moment at least.
