Same here. I'm 36 and have pretty much given up trying to connect to people. The things I care about are strange and boring to other people.

^ Has a very nice, full head of hair... i'm jealous. ;)

This is a thread worth bumping.  The original link to the singles map is gone, but it can be found at this link now: http://www.creativeclass.com/rfcgdb/articles/best%20cities%20for%20singles.pdf I feel like data like this really explains some of my dating experiences, including my online...

White male here... and I can assure you that online dating has mostly sucked for me as well.  In fact, you sound like you've been on more dates than I've been on in the last several years. I've wracked my brain trying to understand how finding a date on a dating site could seem next to...

We both sound like we are in much the same situation. I'm a recluse and I work from home. Very few chances to meet people. I've always had a natural tendency to shun people for various reasons. I used to fight against that tendency and made my life miserable in doing so, but now I embrace...

While I do commend you for trying to expand your comfort zone, I do believe that you have to be mindful about how you do that. Don't set yourself up for failure, or you will NEVER want to leave your comfort zone. Seek out things that actually make you WANT to leave your comfort zone. I think...

I have a HUGE problem trusting other people with my emotions. I'm generally a pretty sensitive person and if I'm around people who aren't or who think that I'm "too sensitive" I will pretty much just shut down and withdraw because I feel like I can't be myself around them. I've been trying...

Your dad sounds like a real jerk, and your mom probably could have done better in defending you so that your dad didn't so ruthlessly crush your self-esteem. That's very sad about your brother's death, but hopefully you can move on from it. The way your father has treated you sounds very...

We need some more info, JSG. I find it hard to relate to or understand this abstract concept of too little AND too much confidence. I'm confuzzled.

Yeah, that's me to a T. I hate initiating contact with people, and I just want them to do it. I'm REALLY passive in my relationships and I think I can say that it is probably the single biggest reason I am lonely. It's not that people hate me, or that I hate other people; I just don't do...

I always wonder what the "fake" people look for in their own friendships and why.....
