I think it works the same as with addicts. If you're really convinced and are absolutely certain that you're going to end up alone then all you can do is deal with it one day at a time. Like so many people here, I'm in the same boat. I deal with it by doing everything I can to not deal with...

I don't. I guess there's the people at work but we don't really hang out outside of work. Not a whole lot of ways for a 35 year old guy to make new friends.

As far as movies, I do my best to avoid any movie with a rape scene. I just can't deal. No history of sexual abuse in my life. I just can't deal with it. I wouldn't call the effect it has on me as being adverse but Laura by Bat for Lashes gets to me. No idea why. First time I heard it my eyes...

When I was about 8. I remember that for whatever reason I just couldn't relate to the other kids and they didn't want me around. Since then people tolerate me and even seem to think I'm ok but I'm never anything more than an acquaintance.

Thanks for the words X. Sadly, I'm convinced that romantic relatioships just aren't in the cards for me. I haven't even had a steady girlfriend in over a decade.I had tried online dating before and the experience was pretty similar. That was three years ago though and I guess I completely forgot...

Ha! Thanks Painter. Needed that.

Those weren't direct quotes but pretty much. The majority of the time I get no responses but one girl did get back to me to say she was sorry but because she was 5'10" she didn't think it would work. As far as the car one, we exchanged a couple of IMs before I made a comment about how I hate...

Yes, this post is definitely for the purpose of feeling sorry for myself and honestly I just have no one or any other place to vent. Decided to reactivate an old dating profile after two years. I finally felt like I was in a good enough place that I could try meeting women on there, or at least...

Definitely. I can't say that there's any aspect of my life that I'm particularly proud of. I have a job that I don't particulalrly care about one way or the other and when I leave it I get to come to an empty apartment and no one I can even call or text. Sucks.

Hi. I was feeling depressed last night and ended up here. I guess my goal is to actually meet people. On vacation and haven't left the apartment, not due to anxieties but because I just plain don't have anyone to spend my time with. That's about it.

39. Apparently I could benefit by talking or reaching out to others in my life. There ISN'T anyone in my life. That's kind of the point.

I don't really "do" anything. All I can do is endure it. I have no one to talk to and if I try to read I just linger on the same page. I guess putting on a dumb movie to focus on can help for a bit. That's about it though. OK, I do drink but that's not advice that I would pass down.

I don't go inside stores to wander around aimlessly but I do go to outdoor places that have people around like parks. That or I find a diner to sit down and eat slowly in for a while.

Sure. I can get in the spirit of this. I'm 34 and I live in Malden, M.A. I'm 5'9", proportionate weight, shaved head, and wear glasses. Oh, and two tattoos. I'm new here and I understand it's not a dating site but hey, the thread was there. I guess I just wish I could meet a woman (I am a...
