| My older brother continues to torment me. He just announced his second marriage. He's always had relationships while I have continued to fail to establish any and stay alone for nearly ten years despite my best efforts. I just can't bear continuing to live with the pain of loneliness. I think I just... |

| Basically if you're not a hardcore progressive liberal, or a hardcore Conservative Christian; okcupid doesn't work. Also, if you happen to be a progressive, you have to deal with all the women in an open relationship. Lol what? That makes no sense I literally never met anyone like that on Okcupid. ... |

| NTs are the ones who bullied me the most. They shoved religion down my throat, called me "disabled", said I have "hamburger syndrome", didn't encourage me to follow my passions or expand my knowledge, hurt me physically, molested me despite calling me a "fa***t", and co... |

| Well, there are obvious signs as to whether a woman wants to discuss things further/deeper or not. But most women have a lot of demands and requirements before she lets you in her life. If you meet one who doesnt, you'll figure out she has later on. And then there isn't a lot of sympathy on her sid... |

| More than likely, they are just being nice. Do you work with anyone that you might be able to go out to lunch with for casual conversation or for a coffee? Friendships usually start with people around you - your neighbors, people you work with, people you run into while doing a hobby you like. Peop... |

| It angers me how someone so sexist, racist, and self-serving like my older brother had all the girlfriends while I tried to be open minded, friendly, and spiritual but was told by girls I was weird, gross, and a loser. |

| Oh, I know how you feel: I've been there are done that and if it wasn't for my wife probably being on the Autism spectrum (lower than me and probably not enough for a DX) I wonder if I would have reached the point of no return by now. All I can suggest is to learn about body language and how women ... |

| It was depressing that my brother had women throwing themselves at him all through High School/College yet only dated three of them long term while I couldn't even get a hug. It made it more frustrating that all of them are absolutely nuts while we had no interest in all the normal, classy women (w... |

| He's often told me I need to become like him which involves being a sexist, racist, xenophobic, and homophobic bigot but I refuse to do so. But I hate how trying to be my own person has left me in the dust while he doesn't even have to try. Not likely to help. The difference is that he can easily c... |

| My older brother's romantic history has been the exact opposite of mine. He's had no trouble asking girls out and some even threw themselves at him. He would even throw parties and girls would show up. Besides one short lived lucky relationship, my romantic history is shallower than a puddle. Sure, ... |

| I tend to have fears that any potential girlfriend will think something must be wrong with me due to how I've had a relatively empty romantic history (Only one short lived relationship) and my friendship network is small. One of my co-workers told me she's surprised I didn't go on a shooting rampage... |

I just hope that there is still hope for me even after going through ten years of hitting my head against the... |

| Just a random thought but when they say 'improve your self' maybe they mean rather than become like them become the best you. While shyness and anxiety doesn't make you unworthy of a relationship it does stop people from seeing the real you because all they see is the shyness and anxiety. I think w... |
