I've come to realize that mine like many others on this journeys biggest problem is scarcity and desperation. I have OCD and ADHD so its probably a little exasperated. But I think its even more amplified by the fact that I know I should be slaying. On paper at the very least I should be able to get consistently laid but I have almost 0 results. I've gotten better in the last few months but nowhere where I want to be.
I've had a consistent problem with oneitis and getting attached. Everytime its a new girl and my brain convinces me she'll be the last girl like this. Whats worse is I actually tend to initially attract these girls but always fumble. Its maddening. I can't let go my brain equates more effort into better results, I also think its a mix of ego, if I could just show these girls the real me they would love me, which is what I've found in most girls who are forced to hang around me. The drop off usually comes when interacting not in person.
I'm trying to build abundance but I can't because of scarcity and I can't get rid of scarcity because I have no abundance. Right now I have this idea of sex and female validation as the pinnacle of male existence probably because I dont have a purpose. I want to get it out of my system so I can pursue my real goals. As it is now everything im doing is with the goal of getting girls even if I tell myself its not.
Right now theres this girl.... I know whos exactly my type and a freak in bed and she was digging me and stopped answering now my brains telling me to send her another message and I cant imagine their being a better girl, well I can but I for some reason I need her to fufill me, I've convinced myself it wont be the same.
I've tried dating apps, night game, cold approach and im getting better but zero results, yet due to scarcity. How do I take action to shift away from this mentality? Monk mode? How do you beat the catch 22.

Take a deep breath. Put the phone down, in another room, and go read for a couple minutes. Your brain will scream at you for doing this because it wants the dopamine rush. That's all it is.
Dopamine is a neuromodulator that makes us pursue things. In this case, you're wanting to pursue women and having your phone right there to text-bomb them is too much temptation to go into pursuit overdrive thus you fuck it up.
Seriously, just unplug yourself for a little while. Put the phone down. Go outside for a walk. Take a short cold shower. The craving will pass. It only feels as powerful as it does right now because you have chemicals in your brain driving you to do it, but those chemicals don't actually know what's good for you or what will work. They only know what you want.
I can somewhat relate to this as someone who has dealt with ADHD. Just put the phone away where you can't see it for a bit and go do something else in another room. It'll pass and you'll be okay.

In the end, your problem is that you put women first. You need to have yourself as your mental point of origin. This is what abundance does to you.

You are misunderstanding how to get abundance.
You don't need to fuck 100 girls a week to have abundance....... so, here's an example:
you're going on a date. only one this year. SCARCITY.
you're going on a date, you've got 5 more lined up this week with hotter girls. ABUNDANCE.
Getting girls is a reasonable thing to try to do while working on the rest of your life.
Good: you recognise that your brain is fucking with you.
Go find other girls.
It won't be the same. Every girl is different. Better is out there as well as worse.
Scarcity isn't the problem. Scarcity causes caring and other unattractive behaviour, and that's the problem. Mask it with girls as much as you can, at least pretend not to give a fuck too much. Work on being as attractive as possible and getting as many options as possible.

There are so many ways to get rid of the scarcity mode and feel the abundance. Even if you only have one date lined up, just tell yourself
"I managed to get this one date. And it wasn't much effort. If it doesn't go well, that's ok, because I'll just get another date. There are 4 billion women in the world. I don't really mind too much how this goes"
That's what an abundance mindset looks like. If you have done something in the past, then you can do it in the future. loose your fear of failure.

This whole idea is cope. Scarcity is just a feeling, it's not the cause of your failures thus far. Improve your game
