Man I will just say it with every good intention, because I’ve passed from similar stages myself.
After reading most of your latest threads the biggest issue is that you seem to fully internalise this identity of being needy.
At this point it feels that you are rejecting any possibility of true growth and you want to use all the different external tactics in order to escape facing what exists inside.
Making progress like this is extremely difficult and in the end not only you will still know what you deeply feel about yourself , but it will also become apparent to the people around you.
The goal is not to be the needy desperate guy that expertly hides it and tricks guys into respecting him and girls into sleeping with him.
It is to become cool and content with yourself to the point that those who don’t recognise your value are the ones losing.
Im not rejecting the idea of growth willingly. It’s just that my psyche won’t let me go past certain barriers and realisations. For instance, realising that I have value. That would absolutely invalidate all of my experiences of abuse, pain and torture from my childhood. It wouldn’t make sense and hurt much more, if I always was a valuable child. This is too much for me to bear right now. That’s why I hide behind the techniques.
And I try very hard to face myself in therapy and everywhere. But it’s not nice when you force it, I’ve had several identity collapses where I didn’t know who I was or even where I was at that moment. Very strange and destabilising.
