I sort of summarized the situation when i answered leo before when he was telling me all i need to do is be fun and social to get laid :
"Dude, you live in the us. The standards of living in the us are like some of the highest in the world. Imagining telling a guy somewhere in Ethiopia, or in the Congo he needs to be fun and social and he'll get laid, it's like you don't understand just how down bad the situation is in Ethiopia and the Congo. Hell in my country in Lebanon if i work at McDonald i'll get paid like 400 dollars a month, for a full time job. If i had to spend 100 dollars partying once or twice a week, that's all my salary gone, and we haven't talked about getting food, shelter... Naturally in such a situation to get laid you need to focus on financial success first, then once you have the money, the time and energy, you can focus on improving social skills and picking up girls.
In my situation it's even worse because i could've gotten a degree in a profitable field, and leave the country, which is the strategy most guys my age are doing, not just guys, even girls quite frankly. However still i am 22 years old and i didn't finish high school, because i was battling severe ocd and bipolar type 1. To this day after around 2 years and a half, of starting medications and therapy, i'm still recovering and struggling to develop the necessary discipline to finish high school and enter university. I might fail this year, and have to go again through it to finish high school.
My strategy is to get a degree in a profitable field to quit the country, then i could focus on social skills and pick up. Hell i would've spent my 20s not getting laid, but building the foundation for my life and handling my mental health."
Only update on this issue is the severity of my mental illnesses makes it impossible for me to succeed academically in my studies. Therefore this seems like a hopeless situation. My health makes it impossible for me to discipline myself in order to earn money. Suicide seems the only option out of this hell.
