Hey, i read your post on the topic of not feeling anything, and your secret to happiness. It seems like you did really find it, but i just have no clue where to begin, like its great that i know what i need for happiness, but.. i guess where and how did you first start, cause i had the same childhood as you, and i do truly forgive who was responsible, but the damage is done and past that. i would really appreciate a reply, and thanks for your time

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
I spent about five years distancing myself from everyone . I lost interest in everything, all of the "good times" i had in my life didn't seem like it was worth it. I just couldn't see the point in anything and i lost all hope.
Until, I remembered someone, she was very nice to me and she didn't really have any reason to be and that meant something to me. I decided I need to go talk to her before i gave up on life.
I spent several months working past my problems (forgiving people and social phobia were the main ones)so i could talk to her.
Eventually i was able to tell her that I appreciated her kindness. It was very satisfying telling her that. Then we both had to go our separate ways.
Here's a quote from Willie Stargell that is similar to what i learned about life.
"Baseball taught me what I need to survive in the world. The game has given me the patience to learn and succeed. As much as I was known for my homers, I was also known for my strikeouts. The strikeout is the ultimate failure. I struck out 1,936 times. But I'm proud of my strikeouts, for I feel that to succeed, one must first fail; the more you fail, the more you learn about succeeding. The person that has never tried and failed will never succeed. Each time i walked away from the plate after a strikeout, I learned something, whether it was about my swing, not seeing the ball, the pitcher, or the weather conditions, I learned something. My success is the product of the knowledge extracted from my failures. (Stargell 1983, 11)"
So to find out where to start I would say you need to find out where you are going first. You need to find something that has meaning to you and go from there, never giving up.
