I truly do not think there are many girls worse looking than me, so pretty much any girl I talk to is certainly better looking. It's hard to find a girl that isn;t. I've talked to so many girls and nothing ever comes of it. People keep telling me to just keep trying, but how can I be any good...

Had basically the same thing happen over and over again the last few months. I put up an okcupid profile for about 6 weeks and didn't get a response, I'm still getting no luck with tinder. I'm really starting to get beyond stressed and upset and I don't understand why I'm unable to make friends...

I wasn't really sure what else I could do. We did have a conversation which I thought went well (I was wrong, obviously) and ended it by asking for future contact pretty much. Not really sure what else I could've said that'd mean I would have future contact that wasn't "too strong". Asking for...

Never gets old. Great scott!

I have only made 2 friends post primary school (from the age of 11 onwards). I made a bunch of friends when I was very young and stayed with them though primary school, then the few that went to the same high school as me. After that, in college, I knew nobody so just asked 2 guys "can I sit...

Went out with a friend yesterday and got talking to a girl. Her response when I asked if she'd like to get a drink some time? "Is that a joke?" and she laughed to her friend. I think that's about the most embarrassing rejection I've had. Pretty devastating, actually.

In therapy he suggested ways of meeting people, how to talk to people, that kind of thing. Because I'd got in to a position where I felt I wasn't good enough for others. I suppose when I look at it objectively, why would someone want to talk to some random they don't know if they're fine and...

I am trying to be more selfish these days, even in my job hunt. I had a slightly better paid job, but it was making me feel worse so I quit. A job worsening my depression was not worth the money. So I am being a little more picky with the jobs I'm applying for, but I am still applying for a good...

Isn't that contradicting what you said, though? I pointed out that I made the effort to talk to people, tried to make friends, meet girls, etc. which is the point of my title, you can't get rejected if you don't try. Your reply was that I should not "force things" as such, and let them happen...

I did stop trying to force things for a while, but nothing came my way. If I just left things as they are, nothing would improve. Nobody, for whatever reason, has made any kind of effort to get to know me, so it's down to me doing that and it's not working. As for enjoying life, it's very...

That last bit really sums it up well for me. Depression obviously causes problems and it makes it hard for me to just accept rejection, especially when it's constant. But the drive to keep on trying when it feels like nothing is working, and may never work, is really upsetting.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure I understand this though. I didn't expect my therapist to "fix" me, I wasn't aware I was broken anyway, even if I feel that way. But the entire purpose of him was to focus on my main problem - not being able to make friends. He basically gave me a number of...

I suppose this is a "my story" type thing and while parts probably fit in other sections, it's definitely a lack of social life that is the biggest issue. Overall it's something that's getting gradually worse as it's basically worn down all the options and hope available to me. I never had many...

Hi all. Been looking for people who can relate to my problems after a disastrous decade and this place seems to have a nice little community. Hope to get to know some of you a bit better.
