Singh Suffering From Severe Depression

Hello everyone,

I am a young Sikh man. I've kept my dhari and kesh my whole life. I'm a sensitive, mentally weak person in general, and its's been very difficult for me to deal with the additional issues that come along with being a Singh.

I don't have much experience with girls. I know the gurmukh approach is to accept an arranged marriage. Unfortunately, I am not on that level spiritually. All my life I have just wanted to experience a girl's affection and feel liked and wanted. Being a Singh has made it extremely difficult for me to find girls who are even open to getting to know me in the context of a relationship.

It's been very difficult for me to deal with my inability to get anywhere with women, and I've been quite depressed about this. The depression has taken a major toll on me. It's affected my productivity at work, and I've lost my job.

I don't know what to do. I can't even consider cutting my hair. I'd never be able to live with myself. But I just hate being alive in this world and feeling like a failure who can't get anywhere.

I hate living and hate this world.

Stop putting women on a pedestal.

That's more than half the battle won right out the blocks. They won't solve your emotional problems or magically transform your life into a Nirvana-like experience. They're people, just like you and I, as tough as that maybe to believe, lol. And they are very, very good at sniffing out weak men who they consider as nothing more than friends or, in the worst case scenario, honourary females! :o

If you struggle to get women on-side in a romantic context, it's probably because of the vibes you're putting out there. Even I felt like depressed reading your post; blaming your Sikh saroop and whatnot for lack of female attention is not the problem. That's just not on, my friend.

There's that old saying, "Treat 'Em mean, keep 'Em keen." Wise words. Don't make your thirst obvious. It's very off-putting to most women. They have some kind of ESP when it comes to this kind of stuff, no joke.

Edit: Fundamentally, the above is true IMO, but I may have presented it in less than flattering terms. I was in chardhi-kala mode earlier, lol.

In essence, be the best version of yourself. Work on yourself, have a fulfilling life and develop an engaging personality. Weakness is not an attractive quality, and men AND women don't respect you if you wreak of meekness. Eventually the right person will gravitate towards you because of who you are; kesh, dastaar, etc, isn't a hindrance. It takes time to overhaul one's personality and unlearn all those weird tics and habits we put out even without knowing.

Like a poster above said, read about Sikh history and the strong, fearless men who didn't let anything hold them back. Gurbani is the key to your troubles, but not many want to hear that because it seems like someone is trying to ram God down your throat when you're looking for something practical. Gurbani is practical.

you should try making yourself strong from inside by reading sakhis or inspiring sikhi books(if you cant concentrate on path or simran)...check out the books/sakhi section here on site......the more you think about this issue, the worst you would get.................the life has much more to offer you........do ardaas.....

Almost all the Mahapurakhs who wrote Gurbani got laid or married in their teens except Guru Harkrishan Sahib ji & Baba Fareed ji who I think were Bairaagi.

I've read some pretty shocking stuff. But I never expected to read that.

LOL

There's something I never expected to read

You and me both.

You need to change your outlook on life. What you are looking for is a companion you can talk to about problems you are facing and the good things in your life. Find this companionship among Gursikhs. If you are keeping sangat around you are stuck in the girlfriend life. You will be naturally inclined to follow the same life style. You see them happy in their lives and want the samething.

Yet they don't have happiness. People in these lifestyles put on a false perception 9f happiness. They run after the bodies drug highs, which will never satisfy them. Read tvad parsad swaiyve. Very short paat and filled with the knowledge you are looking for in life. If you can muster up 5 mins to read the paat and 10 mins to contemplate over it, you will be free of this depression.

Whether it's California or Delhi, getting affection is no problem for this Sardar

It's Kalyug and most women are Mor*ns. I am a woman and even I know this.

So don't beat yourself up. Love yourself- God made u in His Image, u are the Temple of our Lord.

And understand and accept that Supreme and Ultimate Self Confidence is the Core of Sikhi.

Look at Pics of Guru Gobind Ji- he was 100% Self Confident, his aura extended so far- He he knew He was Unoverridable.

Don't ever fool yourself into thinking u are less that what u are- and don't even for a moment let anyone else fool u into thinking u are less than what u are.

Your being will doubt my words, but I've physically experienced going from an insecure broken person, into a person every single person walking past me has been in Awe of and people have been incredibly Jealous of. Self Confidence is the key.

Also, if some women don't go for u, and u practice Truth (self confidence) thats no reflection on u, so don't beat yourself up about it. If it's hukam, and you are getting up and actually looking for a wife, then it will happen when it's meant to, don't stress so much about it. But if u want a wife, I would say, put effort into looking, and if u get rejected, don't let it knock your confidence because as Sikhs, we are meant to be fearless and confident.

Also, remember that most people on Kalyug are Ego driven- Ego is just Fear and Insecurity-it's a false sense of Self that the Mayadharis have created to fit in with the Gimmick of Society.

Most perceived beauty here is dark, maya looks, again if u look at pics of the Gurus, u see the glowing jyot that emanates from them- compared to the darkness of people near them. That's real beauty- it's the Beauty of Truth.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
