Addiction has clouded my connections

In my past relationships i never realized how closed off I was because i didn’t have to form super deep bonds with people, i always had my vices to “fulfill me”. But now that im starved of that fake connection that pmo gives, i want to connect with people, especially my current girlfriend and really get deep. The problem is, i don’t know how. I thought i was being true and vulnerable and fully knowing her, but we came to the realization the other day that we’re still kind of strangers. We know all of our favorite things and stories from our pasts, etc. but it feels surface level still. I don’t know where to go from here.

You’d be surprised what 60 seconds of holding eye contact in pure silence can do. Either you both feel uncomfortable which is a not so great sign, or the intimacy grows and you feel more connected

Sometimes the truth can hurt, but truth is better than lies. You should sit down with your girlfriend and discuss with her questions about the future you may have with her. As uncomfortable as it is, it is always good to learn the truth. This is only my opinion but I like giving advice to people who are struggling more than me.
