it's so odd that there are literally thousands of men suffering from something, and each thinks he is the only one... how can this be? maybe it's part of the essence of addiction/disease, that even though we are all in the same boat, the disease repels everyone else who has it. And so the first step of going to this website is, as Alex says, the turning point. Kol HaKavod, keep on trucking.
wow, interesting point about thinking you're the
only
one...
The fear of rejecti
on is similar... Every
one (almost) suffers from it but they think they are the
only
ones (that is actually inherent to the nature of the fear-since you think you are less than others, you believe that they are better and therefore d
on't view themselves negatively).
