Hey guys,
as you can see from my nickname, I'm a guy with a problem. In fact, I have A LOT of problems and none of them are big - it's just that somehow even small problems somehow become big for me.
I'm a 18 years old guy from small town in Poland. Since I remember, I always been the worst at everything. When I was a young child, everybody was better at sports, better at games like checkers or scrabble. I couldn't stand constant losing, so I just stopped competing. I was often acting weirdly and talking to myself loudly, so older boys were making fun of me. In elementary school, I was bullied by boys from my class.
I hated my peers, so I escaped into my own world. Just like most boys, I started getting interested in computer and computer games, but my real passion became books. I started to read a lot, and after some time I realized that I'm not really inferior to my peers - I'm more knowledgeable, more creative and more sensitive than all of them (I know many of you propably think that sensitivity is a bad thing, but I disagree).
When I was 6-13, I was scared to death of girls. I still don't understand why - they weren't mean to me and they always wanted to talk to me, but I was very shy and I didn't know how to act around them.
In junior high I wasn't bullied anymore. I just couldn't get any respect. I've became friends with older boys who protected me from bullies, but I was unconfident and I looked like a freak. Once again, I realized that I hate most of my peers. In junior high, I already became sort of a young intellectual, but people in my school were terrifyingly shallow. It seemed like everyone was only interested in stupid things. At this time, I wasn't really interested in girls. A lot of my friends had girlfriends, but the only thing I did with girls was insulting them. At times, I just couldn't stand their shallowness. Unfortunately, in small towns there aren't many young girls who are interested in anything other than parties and boys... There were some intelligent girls, but they were older and I was afraid to talk to them. There was one girl I was attracted to, but I was afraid to say "hi" to her! She was a year older than me, so I obviously I was too scared to talk to her, even though she seemed to like me. Because of this shyness, lack of confidence and less-than-satisfactory grades my self-esteem was very low. I was like "yeah, I'm super-educated, but I can't even talk to girl I like and I can't get decent grades!".
Now I'm in the last year of high school, and I haven't even kissed a girl! My personality developed into a weird mix of stubborn indivuality and annoying clumsiness. I'm a guy who just can't do anything right - I often forget about important things, I can sometimes get lost in my small city, I can't talk to people and I always say the least appropiate things.
Over the years, I stopped caring about myself. I only washed myself one or two times a week and I didn't get any sport. It all changed when I became horny. I started to practice 3 times a week and I wash myself everyday. To be honest, I wouldn't do it if not for my friends. They convinced me to take care of my hygiene and forced me to practice. Yeah, one of my friends forces me to do it, because often I just don't want to practice! Of course, I'm always grateful to him after we finish.
I often try to convince myself that I don't need a girl to be happy, but the truth is that I masturbate at least once a day. I really want to have a girlfriend, but most girls seem to hate me! I really don't know what to do. I'm still a stubborn individualist and I don't really want to change that, but people seem to can't stand me because of that. I usually really don't care about stuff most people find very important, and I might seem carefree, but that attutide always gives me terrible results. Sometimes I get so depressed that I want to erase myself from existence.
Recently I've started to read all those sites with advice how to get women and I became absolutely terrified. What I learned is that the only way to have success with girls is to completely change who I am! They told me that I need to become an arrogant bad boy and honestly, I'm not sure that's who I want to be. I respect women and I don't want to treat them as nothing more than sex objects. I don't need to get laid with different girl every week, I only want to meet one girl with whom I would be happy! In other words, I don't want to become something I'm not, I just want to become a better version of who I am now. I really like my geekiness and sensitivity, I don't want to completely get rid of that!
I said that I don't want to change who I am, but sometimes I think there is something wrong deep inside of me and girls instinctively recognize that. After all, there must be a reason why I was never able to succeed at anything and that's why girls don't want to have anything to do with me! I'm afraid that even if I'll make my body look great and start to dress fashionably and appear confident, they will always recognize a loser inside of me. You tell me to become more sure of myself, but that won't make my flaws go away! So what, should I just pretend that they don't exist? Everytime I try to do that, it ends badly but when I try to think what to do about them, I just can't find any solution. For example, today I had to practice traditional polish dance with my studniowka partner (studniowka is something like polish version of prom night) and she is embarassed with my lack of dancing skills. She doesn't want to go with me anymore, and she's one of the least popular girls in my class! It's not like many boys want to go with her. I may pretend that I don't care, but that won't improve my dancing skills! I may also just learn to dance, but I'm not optimistic about that. There are some boys who never danced this dance before, but somehow managed to avoid embarassing themselves. I know this is not a big problem, but I'm just that kind of person - small problems always become big for me.
So, I would like to get some advice from you. I really want to stop being an enemy for girls and I want to find a girlfriend, but I don't want to start pretending to be someone I'm not. I just want to show girls my best qualities!
If you're interested, I can tell you about tell about some girls in my school, including one that I really want to get. But this post is already very long!
