    After years of sexual frustration & disappointments, the pattern became a permanent set of learned helplessness, I went insane and learned life isn’t fair, and slowly spiralled into insular isolated rotting away.

    Even now, three men keep texting me for booty calls but they’re too late. Loneliness is so deep now, nobody can pull me out. And booty calls are an insult to my dignity & long-term needs for meaningful human companionship.

      Take the booty calls. It’s step one in pulling yourself back out, not the end game. Nothing wrong with taking care of your needs, sounds like that’s what they’re doing. Feeling wanted, even just for a one-nighter is a solid way to start building confidence back. Been there, done this.
