I'm 27 here, and as for the brother thing, trust me I know the feeling. I usually end up at that spot too, which is even more awkward and painful if you're already in a relationship with that girl for well over 2 years. She broke up with me telling me that.Monkfish Acc. post=18.70520.705511 said:And I, at the age of sixteen, have yet to ask anyone out. I have a few confidence issues. Some people take me as untrustworthy because I'm too shy to look them in the eye.
There has been a few girls that I have attempted to get closer to, however, but it always ends up with them thinking of me as a brother. Do you have any idea how bloody annoying that is? I'm one of the few that actualy does that "smacking my head against the wall" thing.
Actually seeing a psychologist over all this, that period was one huge cluster f**k and I'm still recovering from it. I just don't date right now, there is a lot I need to work through first to even start considering all that again.
I do miss the feeling of belonging and intimacy that relationships gave me though, but I fear it'll all just go wrong again.
And being someone I'm not just to appear confident is something I really don't want to do.
