Many many people feel this way.

Personally, in my mind there is a constant battle between 'a should meet more people and try to make more friends' and 'i am so comfortable on my own and I don't know if i sincerely enjoy social contact'.

This goes on in my mind every day.

way to twist things around...the reason im not happy is because of the lack od relationships. It has nothing to do with whether my life is together(which it is, except for the social aspect.


I didn't twist anything. You're in denial.

That was very kind of you to type all of that, Raven but remember some people learn visually and he will have to make a very concious effort to implement your tips into social situations.


Well then he can practice such situations with his family or friends at first :)

Try practicing with your mom, sister? or an aunt then maybe? This way they can tell you from a girls point of view what you are doing right and wrong. And when you get some practice with them first, it might be less scary for you to approach girls later on (since you've prepared yourself slightly beforehand.)

I'm not sure if sharing such a pessimistic attitude is a good idea, but I think "waiting for a miracle" is not the worst option. A partner shouldn't be a precondition for working on your life.

Look who's back.

You have got to expand your social circle. Or in this case, create one. You're right, there is no way to meet someone when the only time you are w/ new people is the store. (This excludes online dating of course, which I remember you weren't happy w/.)

Most people meet their significant others thru mutual friends and aquaintances. You need to focus on meeting people in general, people who have similar interests and values. Eventually, as you build your network, you might find yourself meeting someone w/ whom you have mutual attraction.

Come back and read these responses with a clear head. The good ones especially. If you are depressed now, something tells me you will be less receptive to good ideas and even less receptive to honest opinions.
