How sad, another person in the same exact same situation as me. If you have seen any of my threads and read some of my posts you'll see that I feel pretty much the same way as you. Even though I was never picked on, I wasn't cool by any means.
It's really cool that a lot of people have posted advice in your thread. Some of it is good, some is crap, it's up to you to filter.
The first thing you need to do in order to make progress is to look at your life and how you see yourself.
Do you have an active social life? Do you have close friends, acquaintances? Any female friends? Are you close to any family members the same age range as you?
How do you feel about your body? Are you skinny, average or fat? Do you feel strong or do you wish you had more muscle? Do you try to dress cool and stylish or grubby?
How is your mental state? Do you frequently have negative thoughts? Do you put yourself down? How would you describe your personality? Are you happy, if not what do you think you are missing?
What do you do that's fun for you? How often do you do it? What activities do you do that gets you out of the house? How often are you in situations where you can meet and talk to women?
yes i was picked on by girls they made fun of me but i found out a lot later on a lot of them liked me but the damage had already been done at that point. that typical "ewwww" "your ugly mike" ****.
well i'm putting everything out there but no i dont have much of an active social life. most of my friends i have lost contact with since highschool so i'm generally by myself unless i'm in college. i talk to some people there in my classes but nothing really solid. i have started doing more socially active things because thats the only way to meet people but i still have some shyness and sef confidence issues i'm working on. i have one cousin who is older but he's in a relationship so i can't game with him.
i actually like my looks for the most part. i'm a bit on the skinny side but i dont think i am ugly as i've had some girls tell me i wasnt and ive actually been approached before. i could stand to put on a bit of muscle becuase im slightly on the skinny side but looks arent so much a problem as the other things and i consider myself to be alright looking. i dont think looks are the be all end all because ive had a realllllllly hot girl interested in me once that is into those buff kinda guys but my weak game ****ed it up and she eventually told me because of how pathetic i came across. and i'm sorta glad nothing happened anyway because i wouldnt of been able to keep up because she was into better guys than me who were older and had money but i'm glad for the experience because it woke me up to a lot of things.
my mental state is perhaps the biggest thing..i'm very negative and critical and people have *****ed to me for years about and how my attitude sucks. i didnt want to believe them at first but they are right. i'm always in a state of despair and wishing i would just go ahead and die sometimes because of this subject because of how pathetic i am and cant even get someone. now i'm not the type that would ever end my life or anything but i do carry that **** around so to speak and i think it impacts my health. my personality varies...when i am in a good mood i can be happy and joke and this is the way i always was in the past when i've had cute girls like me at first but because i am usually pissed and negative and quiet and brooding i hardly talk at all during these times. but this is the be expecte when your whole life youve seen everyone else in relationships and you step outside and turn on the tv you see the same thing and your denied and go year after year alone and you become embittered with each passing day. i have threatened to give up so many times and have, but i eventually keep coming back because i can't help the fact i like girls i but i never get anywhere and it's just an vicious endless cycle of torture and it's gotten to the point where i feel rejected even before doing anything. i can see it in their faces which is why i dont even bother opening 99% of the time anymore (yes i've done some cold approaches before to no avail) why? to get rejected? makes me think how sad 24 years old and havent even had a date when 12 year olds have more experience than me and some are even fathers already.
there is one positive though i can think of and thats i'm actually not jealous of any guys or anything who are succesfull. i'm actually glad when people around me have someone because they are avoiding my fate and it's not very a nice one. i've known people who have been jealous of guys who got girls but i always thought it was dumb becuase i'm sure they didnt just wake up one day and were like that plus it personally does nothing for you what someone has or doesnt have and i would never wish this **** on anyone else.
yes i maybe the most negative person in ss history but you see this is serious stuff i have been feeling this way since i was 8 years old and it's been compounded by the all the rejections and **** since. the only thing is i'm not lying about it anymore and i admit i am a loser on an epic scale. hpe this makes things clear, okay you all have a good one and i'll be back later
one more thing i forgot to mention is this week i'm gonna take the major first step and expell the past because it doesnt matter anymore and just hurts myself.
