Guess I’m just having one of those days when you feel sorry for yourself, you know. Hopefully it won’t last too long.
I think you are working against yourself - beating yourself up over all the things you are not when that is probably what it holding you back from just being who you are.
Im lonely too. So I hear you, love
Really there are more people like you than you realize. Everyone gets lonely and most people just find anyone to be with just to feel normal. It’s hard to find someone that feels the same way about you that you do them.

But that doesn’t mean that you should stop trying!!
I think you need to come to terms with the fact that things are and will mostly be ****, you need to build something new from your pile of crap. No reason you shouldnt have your fun at least
Yeah I try to do things that make me happy and not to spend too much time on my own. The thing is now I’ve spent so much of my life on my own I’m finding it hard to change; even though I really want to.
well…I already gave you a hug. I think you should find your passion? Something that you like doing or something that you would love to learn? Dance? Painting? Piano? Anything??
I think having a bunch of roommates will be a good experience for you…

True story… learn to adapt! Go with the flow and what not…
Hmm. I think you really need to erm, stop wallowing in misery and self-pity, im sure it doesnt make u feel good and doesnt get u anywhere :) as for your job, just try to be upbeat abt it as much as possible, i cant tell u to enjoy urself cause i never enjoyed any of my jobs because i cant get along with most ppl there.. but yeah, think of it as an extra pocket money thing. as for the girl, well keep up the friendship but dont expect anything out of it..it isnt embarrassing not havinga gf. im 20, never had a proper relationship and am freaking proud of it. as for living with the guys, well, just be diplomatic and friendly but keep ur own personal space as well. self-confidence is something u have to learn to build up yourself mate :)
Well, it seems to me you have two options. You could 1) sit there and feel crappy and sorry for yourself (everybody needs to do that sometime) or 2) go out, hit some pubs, go dancing, and get yourself out there! You seem like a reasonably intelligent person, you’re going to university, you can hold down a job…believe me, there are a lot of guys that don’t have that! Women appreciate that.
Just go out and have a good time. Be yourself. Stop worrying about finding someone and start having -fun-. I bet someone will come along while you’re distracted with living your life. ;-)
Aww now I actually feel much better :D
Good to know that(:
Well, we do try. :-) That’s what this site is about, after all!
You seem like a really nice person :). although this may not help, any girl would like someone like you who is open about their feelings.And dont worry you shouldnt feel like you need to tell a girl about how many relationships you’ve been on until later on. Usually when you are ” in love” the other person’s feelings are mutual. What you have experienced is a good old fashioned crush. I think that because you have never had a real relationship with a girl, you feel more attached to a friend. Why dont you try to just go to club, or join a gym? those are great places to meet a girl and also a great place for a 23yr old guy like your self
good luck! :)
Keep talking with the girl you like. She might not like you now but like flirt with her be funny be crazy. When yoyu see shes not smiling ask her why. Be there for her and I promise you eventually your relationship will change. And if it doesnt well you can send me a bunch of mail.

:) You never know eventually I may just make her happier than he does; but I might have to send you a bunch of mail.
If you don’t like your life, change it. But you shouldn’t cry about that which you cannot change.
Congratulations on your first step.
I am alone right now, there has been a time I fell in love with many who did not feel the same about me and others who just wanted to exploit me, I worried about been alone and never having a relationship and how I am so good at starting and ending dramatic and painful relationships, so one day I decided I said to myself I don’t care anymore if I will be alone or not have kids or get old on my own or die on my own somewhere where no one knows me,
because I realized every moment I worried about what I did not have, I lost precious time which I could have spend with someone who does care about me or being kind to myself by learning or doing something that would benefit me and others.
I am not sure if you can find any answer here for finding happiness, but one thing for sure if you learn to be content with yourself as you are and life as it is and try to make the best of it one step at a time, you would find answers on your own gradually, just remember tears are ok but sadness or anything that is negative is never the answer, you need to fight emotions to survive for youself and your loved ones :O) (HUGS)

Why would you ask how to deal with a fox? Are you going hunting?
I think it is natural to keep the reasons private :O

Hahaha. And thanks for the above :)
AWWWWWW..
It seems you have a bit of a socialising problem now, perhaps due to the exerience of being bullied. So you shud actually open ur eyes and mind to the fact that having more people around will help u socialise again. This wil rebuild your confidence, which will alow for YOURSELF 2 actually start likin you and then in turn let others, as they wil feel more comfortable around u. Trus mei know hw it feels 2 like someone hu doesnt like u bak in the same way. Just kno gd things will happen keep ur head u high and the more happier u are, it reflects on your mood, personality and appearance.
I’d say the best thing to do is surround urself with more people. Like in movies when people break up they usually go sleep with someone theyve just met in a club, im not sayin do the same but im saying that its good to surround urself with people as it cheers you up n boosts ur confidence. This will attract people to you and you’l also realise u dont need a galfrend or boyfrend- having good m8z will keepp you happy. So make lots of them & enjoy yourself (: x

Listen to this guy he is a doctor. I agree with him too.
Hey, you must be back at uni by now, how does it feel now? In any case, I have similar experiences to you. I know so well how unrequited love hurts, and how difficult it is to let go of someone. I also know a lot about soltitude. Although it’s not much of a comfort, you are not alone in that sense… there are many people all over the world, just like you and me.
Hope you’re doing better now. :)
wow, really sorry to hear that, but stay chipper! if you stay depressed you’re only gonna go spiraling down, what you should do… and yes, i am being serious, it’ll give you something to work with if nothing else is try to find videos of people hanging out…it’s kinda odd, but you really do need socializing skills, and after you think you know what to do, go to a church party, even if you’re not religious, church goers will not judge you harshly so it’s a good place to start, best of luck to you!
There should be some way to give a thread the thumbs up, this has been a great read so far, one of the most heart-warming ones I’ve ever read. Hope it works out just perfectly for all of you guys, you deserve it ;) And don’t worry, Cupid has a perfect timing. The real thing will come your way at the right time, live your lives the best possible way till then.
Thanks for answering my question. :]
I’m sorry you felt that way, I hope you’re better now. :] It’s been 3 months, lol. Well, I feel like that too sometimes. I’m 18 and I’ve never been in a relationship, it hurts sometimes but I know it’s not the end of the world and I have plenty of time to find someone, haha. :]

Hey guys. Well I guess I finally had to post something sometime; I’ve just got to the point now where maybe writing down everything and getting one or two comments could be really useful to me.
I’ve got this summer job at the moment while I’m on semester from Uni. It’s pretty good I suppose and generally I like my job. There’s this girl there that I’ve got to talk to a bit over the last few weeks and I really quite like her now. She has a boyfriend though; which is cool because I know I would never stand a chance of being with her anyway. Ive been in love with two people in my 23 years and neither of them have felt the same way as me. The first was using our friendship to get money out of me and I couldn’t (or didn’t want to) see it; and the second was a contribution to how bad I felt last year.
I feel really lonely. I go to work everyday and chat with some of the people there; but now I’m all on my own again and it’s really getting to the point where it’s starting to hurt. This time last summer I spent pretty much three whole months on my own as I left college in June and didn’t start Uni till September. I kinda realised that the last two years of college had given me nothing apart from a pretty peice of paper. It was horrible. I thought starting Uni would change that; and I guess it has a little. I’m due to live with four other guys on my course from September; but I’m actually really worried about how I’m going to manage being with people again. And they are all guys; and I’ve never found it easy to get on well with guys.
And then there’s the fact that I’ve never had a girlfriend. It’s really embarassing to say that, but I’ve never had a proper relationship like that with anyone and I’m really starting to get depressed about it and worry that I’m gona be on my own forever. It also makes me even more self-concious.
I used to get bullied a lot in school to the point where I just stopped going; and that experience has been really difficult to get past. Even nine years after leaving school I still worry to nearly the same extent about the way I look and act.
Most of the time I really wish I could be different to the way I am. To look different and to feel differently about things.
I know I’m rambling now and that much of this doesn’t make much sense. I didn’t really know what else I could try to make myself feel better.
I just really feel like crying so much right now.
