I hate to sound patronizing, but at the moment you shouldn't be focusing on women, because based on your writing, your Well Being isn't where it needs be my friend. I used to be on the same boat, and was also trying to Bang my way in order to feel better, but that doesn't work at all my man! Modern women may have plenty of faults, but they sure can sense when a man has a negative aura around himself, and is in a Funk. 1) You mentioned that you're in a dead end job, so
you must have a plan in place to rectify that. Read the
Great post of MrLemon about his Heart Attack to fuel your motivation to instill that plan. And 2: When a man drops is circle of friends, that usually means that they were either dead end friends... or that your current emotional energy prevents you from being around guys who have their shit together, when you don't... yet.
If the latter is the case, just let them know that you'll be working on yourself for a while, and that you'll come around when you get better... and if they're major playas they'll understand and support you. Your Well Being is the Oil of your body while your confidence is your Gas, and you are currently running low on Both. Well Being is the hardest one to prop up, so focus on that. Women will still be there when you'll feel better. Don't forget that a woman does not have the ability to elevate a man at it's highest level, so even if you Bang one today, it would only be a temporary boost, just like someone boosting your Car Battery with some Booster cable. The Problem is still there, and needs to be fixed.
