I went to a conference to present a paper. It was exausting but fun to meet people.
My presentation went well, and we won a best paper award!
After it took several tries and a lot of work to get the paper accepted, I’m very happy that it worked out.
I agree with the recommendation for therapy. I can say that it helped me to get in a more positive and constructive mind set.
Other thoughts on your lack of intimacy:
Getting a pet can give some kind of replacement for intimacy with another human being. Sure, it is not the same. But cuddling with a cat can help to feel less lonely.
For intimicy as in “sex”, I think there is nothing wrong with considering sex workers. Unless of course it is illegal in your country…

Yes, you’re absolutely right.
I read the claim about the correlation between mosquito bites and blood type in a news article where this paper was linked as the source. This teaches me (again) to not blindly trust any news articles without verifying the information.
Thanks for pointing it out.
