I don't even know what the hell 'chatting up' means. (Seriously).
Me, I'm a complete fish out of water when it comes to women. I turn 30 in a few months and I've never had a girlfriend. Only ever asked a girl out once (when I was 16) and I never will again, ever. Mind you it's not like I get any opportunities anyway. I have no social life at all, I pretty much literally only leave the house if I have to. |

How do you manage? Do you feel lonely?
See the thing is, I'm not a very social animal. People make me uncomfortable. Thanks to a verbally, emotionally and mentally abusive stepfather, plus a procession of assholes in high school, I find it very hard to deal with, and especially trust, people. The number of friends, close friends that I trust, that I've had at any one point in my life (and indeed probably my whole life) can literally be counted on one hand. Do I feel lonely? The question to me is meaningless. I've been alone all my life, I can't imagine life any other way. Why do you refuse to ask out women? Were you hurt the first time you did? Oh boy. This lead to the lowest, most shameful part of my life. You see, at that point in time (I eventually found out) I was suffering from depression (hardly surprising considering, see above). When I asked her out - well she didn't say yes, and she didn't say no. What she did do was play head games with me for about two weeks. Not a wise thing to do to someone suffering from depression and with my background in emotional, etc. abuse. Put simply, I snapped and ended up threatening her with a knife. I was arrested, asked to leave school or be expelled, and spent some weeks in a psych hospital as part of my bail conditions. I can't even begin to put into words how ashamed I am of what I did that day. I'm not saying that it would happen again, but frankly I've had enough of people fucking with my head. So I'm not prepared to take the risk of asking out someone who's not interested but doesn't mind having a new plaything. Don't you feel the need to be loved? I'm not convinced that such a thing (love) exists. |

Oh cutter that's so sad. Do you get any help for your situation or your depression?
That must be hard to live like that, humans are social by default, I couldn't imagine living alone and accepting thats the way it has to be. I am shy very painfully shy in some social situations that isn't nice, but I try not to let it hold me back. Love does exist, I can vouch for that, I found it once, but you have to wade through a lot of pretence first, just keep your focus and you will find it. You sound so down it makes me feel for you. Feel free to talk/pm me anytime. My shoulders maybe a little hairy but I have a good heart and a good squeak handy to scare off elephants ![]() ![]() As for mind game players you share my hatred for them. Somebody that was close tom tried that on, it wiped me out and left me shell-shocked to put it mildly, but not everyone is like that there are good people around too, just look above the garbage. mouse. |

My husband had problems chatting up women he is shy like me, then that changed when he had me sit next to him at a bar. We just clicked and the sweet talk came thick and fast, just felt so right and so natural, then wham bam I got my man, I even got him domesticated

mouse - Well as I said, I was hospitalised for some time after, plus numerous councilling sessions. I got over it. The only depression I get these days is the type associated with being unemployed for three years, and with no prospects on the horizon.
