Wow, that is easily the stupidest goddamn thing I've read on the internet all week. Congratulations.

I disagree with those who think alcohol is a bad idea. It is a method of self-medicating without getting others involved. I do it every day. I don't drink at work, and I don't drink and drive, but when I'm home I drink until I pass out. Yes, it is almost surely shortening my lifespan, but I'm...

You're not alone on Christmas as long as you have alcohol, which I have an abundance of. Human companionship, no. But plenty of liquor. Cheers.

1. Someone willing to tolerate me and occasionally let our genitals touch.

I don't usually get Christmas cards. I did get a gift from a client. He's an alcoholic and so am I so he bought me a bottle of rum. Best gift ever.

Excellent work.

Professionally, I'm doing great. I am making good money, I have the respect of my peers, I have community involvement, I have even published a book and am writing a follow up. Personally and socially I am a total failure. I don't have a single friend (male or female) I could go to dinner or a...

I never even got an invitation to go anywhere. I knew exactly where I'd be on Thanksgiving, sitting at home drinking like I do every night.

I've got a good job, but I have no one to socialize with in my off hours. I'm completely socially retarded. It's really frustrating to be sitting home on yet another Saturday night with no one to talk to. I haven't spoken to a human being in person since 5PM at work on Wednesday. I hate holidays.

I'm in this situation. I'm just completely clueless when it comes to talking with women. I can't hold a conversation with them at all, and I have absolutely no ability to read body language or determine if a girl is at all interested in me. Even dating websites are useless, as I can't even...

I have no problem speaking in front of a group, I love doing it. I have no problem interacting with people on a professional level, but when it comes to social situations I freeze up and can barely communicate above grunts and groans.

I identify with OP at least this much, the only reason I haven't tried to end it early is because I don't want to put my mother through that. She is in a nursing home and my other relatives rarely visit her. It's all so ******* sad.

I have many faults, but a yellow smile is not one of them.

I sympathize with OP. If mods are able, they should grant his request.

I have nowhere to turn. I've been fortunate in that there hasn't been something happen to me which I haven't been able to handle myself, but I know that if something really serious happens I have literally no one to ask for help. If I lose my job, have to go to the hospital, or even just need a...
