Rub yourself one out like a gentleman. It helps to compensate. Then go back to being whatever you are currently being and continue doing what you have been doing. That is honestly the best advice you can get on this forum. You simply can't make it in this endeavor with this mindset. Trust me you will only get hurt. It's not meant for you nor is it in your DNA. This is not meant to be condescending but the best advice I can give you from observing for so many years people who made it and who did not make it.

I recommend you to quote or tag the person if you want to address the person. Without Tagging or quoting, you are actually addressing to everyone who reads the thread.
