Being jaded is a huge problem that never seems to be discussed nor would most people be willing to do anything to combat it.

I agree with it all, I used to use the ice cream analogy, as a kid ice cream is amazing, youd eat it every hour of everyday if you could, but as a growing person you get used to that sensation of eating an icecream to the point it's not exciting ice cream no more it's just flavoured cold cream and theres many foods, flavours, textures and heats at which you can have food and that one just doesnt cut it no more. Before you know it you start eating different foods and you get used to them, you either find your favourite foods and mix it up or you get sick of eating the same thing over and over where you become annoyed that its taste is boring to you, hence why as people eating different foods can be a simple life pleasure, but you need food so you either try more or you try something else that isnt food. You dont need porn or alcohol or drugs but because you're a type of person that's not willing to try different foods you find a different buzz in life, and that buzz allows you to forget about not liking stuff to the point where you like stuff again, then comes the vicious cycle of been jaded in life. You need more porn, or alcohol ,or drugs to feel that same buzz, but is just doesnt cut it, you can either stop, and go through the hard ship of coming back to reality which is hard but worth it if you do, because that feeling of emptiness will go away after a while you'll start to enjoy things again as a fresh detoxed you or you try harder drugs or become depressed that life isnt cutting no more because of the lack of enthusiasm towards things because you know the outcome. My point being just change your life up every now and then in different ways other than drugs alcohol and porn and you'll enjoy the simple things again.

Was a sex addict that lost interest in sex and thought I might be gay or a sexual but was confused because I didnt fancy men so understand how baffled I was with my life at 20 years old nothing turned me on, turns out I was just watching so much porn and having sex with random girls it all became the same, until i changed my motive which was instead of trying to find sex or wanking all the time, find a hobby, I created a work shop and started 3d modeling and printing, casting and fabricating and literally forgot about sex, it was during this time I found I wasnt gay I was just bored and the first sign of meeting a decent girl I had a boner for like an hour, it felt like i was a kid again having sex for the first time, I was excited and that was it, I over indulged and confused myself and distanced myself from people. The sad truth but the truth.
