I've honestly lost count of when I last tried cold/warm approaches. It's not about giving up, it's about the realization that the game is rigged. It's not about me, it's about the soyciety we're living in. I've moved on from that strategy and focused on self-development instead. Is it worth continuing this brutal battle? Well, that depends on what you see as the 'prize'. If you're after validation, you might be on a fruitless quest. But if you're seeking self-improvement and personal growth, then every step you take is a victory, no matter how brutal the battle seems.
