Hello Chaos!
I took some time to think about this to give what I can. And indeed, I HAVE thought about it so many times since I was a boy. That's been the biggest mystery to me in my entire life...why...Why...WHY...
I have a few theories:
-Due to very poor fortune/luck, whatever you want to call it, I have always been interested in females that were not interested in me. So I've never experienced the "I like you, you like me too" bare minimum necessary for anything to happen. And many of the times, the girls were cruel or hurtful towards me, or simply using my attraction and affection for them to extract things from me or make me look bad. Or being "overinterested" which I didn't even know was a thing, and chasing them away I guess. Being taught to be a nice guy to girls, that's what they want, then being harshly burned in reality so many times by them and learning girls are very different than we are brainwashed to believe. That dissonance has taken me a long time to figure out and actually learn to understand and trust women, I feel very bewildered with them and almost lied to about them. As a result, over time, I felt it was impossible to get a girl, unwanted and unattractive, used to girls not being interested especially ones I find attractive, like something was wrong with me somehow, and felt pain and distrust and futility, as well as fear about girls and them having power over me once I'd get attracted. For a long time I gave up on them and figured it was hopeless it seemed. I'm trying again with some effort the last several years.
-I had some extremely traumatic incidences with girls, one in particular I wrote about before. Short version for those who didn't seen the post(s) about it: a girl in grade 8 liked me apparently. I, as usual, was interested very deeply in a girl who didn't want anything to do with me, but was happy to use me and dangle occasional carrots in front of me. Anyway, when I told that girl, she got angry, ran to two guys, told them I tried to molest her or feel her up etc. Next thing, I'm involved in a big fistfight, hugely outnumbered. I ended up getting my arm badly broken when falling to the ground while holding one of the guys with an arm, while I punched his face with the other. The arm holding him broke. The nurses and teachers at the school did nothing, sent me home with my crumpled arm with a cloth on it. Took me hours and hours to get to my parents, all while in massive pain. When I went back to school, I still had the rep of a "molester rapist that got what he deserved", had zero friends, teachers and all the other kids hated me. After graduating that hell, my parents sent me to a new school system to try to start over yet again, I've been moved around a lot throughout my youth, further complicating my issues probably. Anyway, at THAT school, there were JUST enough "friends of friends", to keep this reputation going for years and years longer, all through high school. Finally, when I left high school, it's gone. Only because I've pretty much severed contact with everyone from that era, and decades have gone by. That's just ONE such incident, but one of the most damaging.
-There's some sexual abuse from a male relative when that age and younger in there as well. There may need to be some assistance in this area needed for something like DMSI. Seems logical to me this could impede progress of the sub, and others like it. Porting over programming from the sexual trauma stuff in E2 might be prudent.
-So overall, I think it's a case of having nothing but pain and negativity and rejection from females my entire life, so I have no idea what the "good" part of them is like, if it exists. Sounds sad, but hey it's what has happened.
I don't pretend to be an expert, I'm just the guy that has lived through all this carnage and trying to make sense of it and learning how to progress away from it finally. These are all just theories as to why I've ended up being such a titanic failure with girls, as it certainly isn't the typical introverted awkward guy stereotype in my case.
Hope that gives some more background for you. And it lets others similar know it's okay to talk about it and use subs to move past these things once and for all.
Day 8, DMSI V3.1-A:
-Dreams I can't make much sense out of. They are either unrelated to females in any way, or they are there, but in a very indirect fashion. Nothing about having sex with them, like others report. Like for example, the other night, I had a dream one of my favourite girls, Ariana Grande and I, were at an exhibit, and she was talking to me and we seemed to be planning how to steal a chair on exhibit from the RMS Titanic! I love the Titanic, and quite fond of her, so those two are clear why they're in my dream. But weird plot line.
-Appetite increase. But no added weight gain on top of that. Also more lax on fasting times, no weight gain even after that.
-Getting less sleep than usual, but still waking up feeling normal. Very different than my experience on V3.0.1, where I was exhausted and sleep hours per day were irrelevant. On this, besides random tiredness which is expected with it, I feel normal. Schadenfreude is what I feel when others are talking about massive exhaustion on this version now, lmao. Just imagine what it was like for me on V3.0.1, I wasn't exaggerating! It ruined my life to be honest. Greatly affected my life. I'm glad that seems to be in the past now due to script improvements.
-A girl I like texted me the other day, I replied, but since then nothing else has happened. I know she's single, she's the one I wrote about awhile ago that broke up with the idiot BF, only to go back and try again. Unsurprisingly, they broke up. I don't seem to get the feeling she's interested in going out at all, unfortunately. We'll see. I have a couple other girls I am attracted to, but I don't have nearly as much urge to push for things with girls anymore. I always have said, I don't know if it's because DMSI is pushing me to become the seduced instead of being "overinterested" (which I still don't see how that's bad and it's confusing that girls don't like guys really genuinely liking them like that) and chasing them away like I always have, or if it's just a feeling of futility and giving up. I can't really tell the difference. Maybe I'm just really starting to question if they're truly worth it to me anymore.
-On this version, I don't get the random pangs of strong horniness, which I like. Before, when I got those, I'd get thoughts of watching porn, which I won't go back to again. But, the thoughts when that horniness kicks in were strong, so I didn't like that. I don't know if there's something in here actively addressing my horniness and response with thoughts of porn, or if it's simply deeper clearing and healing distracting me so I'm not getting the horniness right now.
-Girls popping into my head that I either failed with, or they used me in some way, whatever the case may be. A couple I haven't thought about in a long time as well.
-I feel odd on this version. I don't really know how to verbalise it in a way that can be understood properly.
I think that's about it for now.
