I was gonna say pretty much that. People usually see it as some kind of cynical humour (because I pass it off as such, I suppose) but my general dislike for others is starting to get to the point where I'll just spend all my time in my room playing video games.1-800-STFU post=18.70520.705307 said:

I actually found myself in the opposite situation. I used to work with a girl who was really quite awesome. She was a Philosophy major and a Gaelic minor, so we got into some interesting conversations. I always gave her a hard time about her taste in music. Plus, it was just me and her closing up the shop for a couple hours. She spoke about her boyfriend once in a while, so I knew she was in a relationship. I met him once, he seemed like a pretty cool guy. Knowing she was in a relationship really didn't have anything to do with me not being interested. She was very friendly, interesting, attractive, etc. but I really wasn't interested in her.Azhrarn-101 post=18.70520.705748 said:I'm 27 here, and as for the brother thing, trust me I know the feeling.

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.
I'm gonna go with Monkfish on this one.meatloaf231 post=18.70520.709238 said:I actually found myself in the opposite situation. I used to work with a girl who was really quite awesome.

Anyhows, I was worried that me spending a lot of time around her when we were the only two people around (the shop was usually closed in the first hour, we cleaned afterwards) would cause some problems either between us or me and her boyfriend.
After about a year of working with her a few nights a week, she said that I was almost like a brother to her, and I made her wish she had actually had a brother.
I was so incredibly relieved.
Yup same here.Earthbound post=18.70520.709394 said:
I think you people are simply hanging out with the wrong people. Find people who are into things your into. It doesn't matter how nerdy or dorky they look. Well, it does to an extent. Because being around uglier people makes you look better.needausername post=18.70520.709405 said:
I always have conversations with myself. And I spontaneously burst out laughing like a maniac, even when I am just walking around not doing anything. I am always depressed, and I create personalities in my head so I won't be lonely and nobody is around, I make up new languages on the spot and converse to myself for hours.Reaperman Wompa post=18.70520.694748 said:
my way to get make friends with girls is just be spontaneous! Make em laugh =P but be polite... well for the most part. once i had em as friends i just told em what a perfect date and how i would propose to someone ( i don't know how it arose! XD) and bam! they're hooked...Aries_Split post=18.70520.709419 said:
Aye, it's the same for me. I think it's caused not only by my weight, but by the fact that my schooling was broken up until two years ago, when I stopped going entirely. I have ME/CFS. Also, my lack of education makes me feel like a complete idiot. I've tried home education, but that was difficult to do as well, because of my inconsistant sleeping patterns.Aries_Split post=18.70520.709419 said:
At 16 I was asked out by a 27 year old...and 2 would be good years followed. Well the start was good anyway, the rest was just ok I guess. As for asking someone out I've only done it once and I got rejected, but she was polite about it at least. But like you I am most the time too shy to look people in the eye. I always think they think I'm ignoring them or not listening. As for the brother thing I don't think I've had that, girls either stay away from me or talk to me because they think I'm cute/hot or whatever.Monkfish Acc. post=18.70520.705511 said:
