| I've given up as well. Every relationship I go into turns into a disaster, due to my inability to see that the men are completely wrong for me. I totally ignore the "red flags" and I also have a hard time communicating my feelings. I've found that I'm usually happier without a partner, because I fee... |

| I am having such a tough time right now. I feel so alone. I'm 31 years old, and everyone I know is married with families. I want that so bad. I'm a single mom, but I want a husband and more kids and the whole nine yards. I've tried the online dating thing...wow that was a joke. One guy was a complet... |

| I know this is hard, especially when you are young, but what other people think of you shouldn't matter as much as what you think of yourself. Once you start to accept yourself as who you are, you will grow more comfortable in your own skin. Other people will notice that. By retreating into yourself... |

| I can totally relate. When I was young, I had tons of friends from the neighborhood. I think when I hit middle school age, the social norms became more complex and I just retreated into myself. Now that I am 31, I have learned how to play the social "game" and carry on a conversation, i.e. small tal... |

| Just because a girl is attractive doesn't mean she is a total b***h. That's lumping a whole lot of women into one category. I have been described as a pretty attractive female. I am not boasting, but I want to let you know what I have experienced. I get rejected ALL the time. I am intelligent, nice,... |

| I find it hard to stand up for myself as well. The fake smiles, the fake laughter, the fake niceness...I'm there with you. I think I do it because I don't know how to truly relate to people, and I don't want them to dislike me. It winds up biting me in the ass though, because I come across as weak. ... |

| I can totally relate. If I am in a conversation with just one person, I can usually keep up and make sense of things, but if I don't really try and focus on them, I get lost. Simple things like music and background conversation, such as at a restaurant, totally distract me. If there are a group of p... |

Sorry it took so long to reply. 
I spin yarn on a spinning wheel. I started doing it about three years ago, and it's been such a great creative outlet. I get a raw fleece, clean, dye and card it, and spin it up into funky yarn. |

I love handcrafted jewelry and clothing. Music is probably my biggest love. I like everything from jazz ... |

| I too get overstimulated in large crowds. I can't even talk on the phone if the tv or radio is on because it distracts me. School was one of the hardest times of my life; I spent my lunch hour hiding in a bathroom stall because I had no friends. I wasn't interested in what other kids were, and even ... |
