Summary
Topic Detail: Hello, Stefan,
My name is [x]. I'm 26 years old and the fourth of five children born to two abusive parents. I moved out over a year ago, and since then, I’ve been living on my own and listening to your show. Over the past year, I’ve been processing and grieving my childhood. Your show has been incredibly helpful in identifying the true extent of the abuse I endured, understanding how to apply philosophy to my life, and learning how to be a peaceful parent. The impact it has had on my life is immeasurable.
Right now, I find myself doing little outside of going to work. On weekends, I rarely leave my house except to run errands, play basketball at the park, or occasionally hang out in person with my Xbox friends. My biggest struggle at the moment is a porn addiction. Most weekends, I give in to the urge, which completely drains my energy, leaving the next few days as a write-off. This has been a major contributor to my social anxiety and inhibition when talking to women. It has defined my entire adult life.
I've mostly DFOO’d, but I haven’t truly confronted either of my parents. I feel like I’ve extracted as much knowledge, wisdom, and insight as I can from my childhood—yet I still think about it every day. And I’m sick of it.
A real sense of mortality is setting in. I'm 26, single, and have few good memories to look back on. I do not want to turn 27 and still be in the same place. Life has been passing me by, and I know there’s so much more out there. I hope that by talking to you, I can identify the root of my dysfunction and learn to move forward in life with confidence. I thirst for feedback, guidance, and an ally to help dislodge me from this perpetual cycle of self-destruction.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
