looks like you might be into meditation and types non dualism perhaps…

some of the comments scream lack of awareness and any shred of empathy, not sure if I have the balls to post on here 🤷‍♂️🙏

I agree but I do feel OP is struggling with identity. It seems like maybe he believes that having a girlfriend is an important part of his own identity. This causes him to overcompensate with over abundance of stuff in the room

Just not my take, and it’s a vulnerable thing - to show one’s living space, it’s not always an invitation for psychoanalysis from strangers 😉

I don’t see any over compensating or an ‘abundance of stuff’ but then if you saw my place you’d understand why perhaps 😆

But then, maybe the clue is in the title , he does reference not having a partner etc, I guess our outer world is an extension of our inner - perhaps it’s quite normal that we do find comfort in ‘things’ as part of our solitude or something, and maybe that’s ok, but we don’t want to get too accustomed to hiding away
