I was diagnosed with AvPD back in 2009. I don't think I've improved, despite years of therapy. I've actually become much worse over the past two years. I am almost completely isolated. I don't work. I started going to a writing group once a week, but that ends soon. Other than that, I don't talk...

I absolutely HATE when people do this. I don't know your situation, but almost every time it happens it's when a random stranger tries to hit on me and I don't act interested. "Oh, you're so shy." Yes, I am shy, but I will talk if I feel the need to or if I feel invested in the conversation...

I will recuse myself from this nonsense because there's not much one can do to combat willful ignorance. I wasn't mocking your intelligence, I know nothing of your intelligence, but ignorance -- YES I will mock that if you're going to be so stubborn about holding onto a narrow worldview. Edit...

ALSDFijausdo;ifhse;filujshfaeioscfhny o;il khcfjavlskflhSLIfduhS That means "Oh, right, because words don't have meanings!"

Um, we're using different definitions of the term "friend zone". I'm using the actual, common definition and you're confused. What you are talking about is unrequited attraction. I'm pretty sure that everyone has experienced that. If you look up "friend zone" in oh ANY context on the internet...

What's wrong with the friend zone? I can't tell what your perspective is so I'm not making judgments, but first of all, IT ISN'T A THING. "Friend zone" means "Oh, I wanted to have sex with this person who didn't want to have sex with me and I AM ENTITLED TO THIS SO WHAAAAA I GOT PUT IN THE...

I'm thinking that it's really obvious why a lot of people on this board are "lonely." No one would ever want to talk to them.

Don't ever address me again.

Okay, I do apologize for being somewhat rude in my last post. I think you're wrong, you think I'm wrong, that's perfectly fine. Still, though, I wouldn't want to know the men you know! But, still, your whole argument is that he's treating someone like a prostitute and she isn't holding up her...

I'm so sorry! It's possible, however that you could get around the reference part. It's my impression that most employers don't check references until last minute. Surely there are other people who have been in dire situations where they have been at the same job a long time and can't use their...

If you are offering "favors" to get romantic/sexual attention in return, then you are a horrible person. Full stop. If you whine about it on the internet or unironically discuss the "friend zone" then you are a horrible person. My reading comprehension skills are top-notch and I DID read the...

Welcome! Have you ever looked into asexuality? It sounds like you might be asexual, which is of course a perfectly fine thing to be. It can, however lead to some instances of lonliness or alienation, especially when you are a young age.

Gee, I'm sorry, I totally read "Does this seem to be lacking to anyone else? Between the women who accept favors from men they're not interested in despite knowing that it's a display of romantic intention and the men who talk about how vaginas, despite the same thing never happening to your...

Feel free to message me! I've never been in the chatroom but I might try it. I don't really IM much these days, but that's an option, I suppose.

Ha. I'm 35 and I've done everything I will ever do. I'm just whittling away the time with distractions until a time that my cat eats my body in my apartment during the several months it takes to find me. I would probably feel differently if I had more to look forward to. I'm sorry that you have...

I don't like much about myself, but I'm really glad that I'm good at seeing through other people's crap.

Hmm, I've never been in a relationship, and at this point I don't want one. Part of this is possibly some bitterness, but honestly, I am not suited for one, and I don't see the point. I would like a group of friends I can trust and as I get older, that gets more difficult to find. Aaaaaaand, I...

Oh great, creepy pick-up artist tips.

Ha, I actually do have Avoidant Personality Disorder, which is part of why I haven't been getting out and getting exercise or talking to people, though I've come to realize that I'm more avoidant than lonely.

Wait, so women aren't allowed to accept favors from someone unless they plan to have sex with them? Oh, okay. I forgot that's all we were good for.
