I masturbated a lot and it ended up working to dull my attraction to her. Not a joke.

Yes, I know I would be a better partner to someone if I had more experience. At least that's the case for me. It's difficult being stuck in mid-teenage years mentally when it comes to that, rather than late 20s where my age group is.

To most of these people though dating and who they're with is just a part of life. And a pretty major one at that, especially if you're long-term dating or married/engaged. If you wound up with a partner, wouldn't you talk about it and share it with your friends? I know I would.

In the group of friends I'm a part of every person is either married, engaged, or in a long-term relationship. It's kind of weird sometimes but they never are pushy with me about it. They were really supportive of me when a really promising romantic situation completely fell apart and like I...

It sounds like you might just be new to their circle so you might not get everything they're talking about. "A few weeks" is a short time but if you're around them for longer you will start to understand them better. People can certainly act different in a group than when you're with them one...

You did the right thing. It's hurtful to her but the sooner she knows the less it will hurt to find out. I've been in her position a lot since I have a lot of difficulty connecting with people friend-wise or otherwise and it's a bitter feeling. But it is what it is, unfortunately. Just gotta...

I've thought about it. But the one time I had sex was with a friend of mine out of nowhere, when we both got completely wasted one night. It was nice and I don't regret it at all, but it really didn't change much about me as it didn't lead to a relationship and it was 100% alcohol fueled. It...

More than I should. I like to think about things in general. It's kind of addictive.

Nah. Even though my life has been fairly disappointing I was lucky enough to be born in a first-world country into a decent situation and be an organism that is capable of enjoying anything at all. So I'll take it.

A former friend who had lived out of town for a while had a spouse who left him. She had known me before they left and knew of my situation so when she moved back to town she started inviting me to hang out with her friends. It was a major struggle to get over the anxiety, but fortunately a lot...

Same exact thing happened to me for years. The longer you're isolated socially the scarier those situations become. You want them but at the same time it freaks you out that the only comfort you feel is when you're sitting by yourself in the dark or whatever so why torture yourself with it? Then...
