Vidvan13! That was one incredible journal entry 
full of truth, authenticity and depth. I truly believe that truth sets us all free. We're as dark as our secrets. The more we express them, especially in a safe and trusting environment, the less they dominate us. Selectively successful? Hmmm, have you ever done strengthsquest? It's a very popular assessment test. I learned that we are all born with 5 dominate strengths that no one or nothing can ever take away from us. I couldn't believe how spot on my strengths were. Perhaps you were successful in those areas because you were meant to be successful in those areas 
!!! And the other area you were referring too, perhaps you are successful in that area too its just something happened along the way ..further exploration needs to be done and it looks like you're in the right path - woohoo -

And, unsurprisingly, there are people to help, to care and understand. I grow everyday to realize more and more how much of a bonding animals we are. Truly appreciate your kind words. with much love and gratitude my dear friend.Vidvan13! That was one incredible journal entry

Ofcourse!!! I believe you have to buy the book which includes the code to take the assessment. It comes at a cost for some folks. I did it for free as part of a career assessment. If you take it, let me know what your five strengths are and if you believe it's accurate! https://www.strengthsquest.com/home.aspx

Anonymity is what keeps this forum alive and ourselves committed to creating a meaningful, fulfilling, and satisfying life, especially when it comes to our individual sexuality/sexual experiences. Very grateful
I connected with you and the other members on this group. When I help you or anyone else who knows and understands this struggle, I feel awesome! As others heal, I heal too. That's what it's all about. May all that is for your happiness and fulfillment come your way 
I thought about my first serious relationship I had, yesterday, and wrote about it. I was surprised to find the amount of hurt I still carry and the progression of my habit due to that episode. I am starting to understand that there are multitude of reasons and events that make us who we are and tie us with our mindless habits. https://vidvan13.livejournal.com/
I hope to become more mindful and resolve these as my exploration continues.

I forgot to post for day 12, so i posted that on the 13th afternoon and then day 13 in the nightHow did you get to day 13 in like 6 hours?
I found a unifying thread in my explorations in the last few days. And I feel so light after writing it down. I feel as if I understand, to some extent, the origins of my habit. I now need to ponder around other secondary events in my life and see what is the path forward.

I take care
What do I see in all these explorations? I see a kid who kept taking care of people, day in and day out and never got enough unconditional love back. I always got a feeling from my mother that she was raising me to take care of her later — training me in cooking food, doing house hold…
