Look at the positive: you are moving to NYC, one of the biggest cities in the world, and you ARE starting college despite the lateness, which is something a lot of people never get around to. I don't mean that in a "There's people worse off" sort of way, I mean that you should be proud of...

Actually I think that's fair enough, coupled with already being someone prone to depression. As for supplements... never looked into it. Perhaps I'll do some research.

The problem I've always had with this statement is, regardless of whether it's true or not, how do you expect someone to just STOP wanting a relationship? It's also very vague. I agree, it's an issue when you're constantly thinking about how you're not in a relationship and want to be in one...

Anyway, sorry for somewhat derailing this thread. I need to learn not to give trolls any attention. Thanks for the responses @EveWasFramed and @dd11 I see what you mean. I do have a number of things to try and "lighten up" my life a little bit. And I have some people to hang out with now, which...

When I was living with shittier people than I am now, they had a massive party in our house without informing me/inviting me. It wasn't the first time, but this was late in the year when I was going through one of the roughest times in my life, so it absolutely drove me insane. I ended up...

I've tried to kill myself as well, but of course, you're not gonna believe me or you'll find some arbitrary reason why it's not legitimate. Trying to out-depression me is... creative though, I'll give you that lol. And I don't see how I was whining at you. But sure. Whatever helps you feel...

I feel sorry for you. If the only way you can feel better about yourself is going on forums such as this and talk down to people who are in a bad place for some weird sense of moral or emotional superiority, then you must be a pretty sad person. I wouldn't even waste my breath, but in my...

Firstly, this is a very serious thread, and I honestly don't want to deal with any half-assed opinionated responses from people who clearly don't care, haven't bothered to go into it, or outright want to make me feel worse. Please. I know that's a bit selfish, but plain and simple, I need help...

I've realised I'm not "drawn" to any "type" of person. Not any more at least. And it's one of the best changes I've ever had. Ultimately it doesn't matter whether someone is quiet or loud, likes the same things you do or is able to introduce you to new things. What matters is how well you can...

Well, I'm not going to argue against the first point. As I said, this isn't about blaming them for it, I completely understand that there are probably reasons behind this behaviour, I'd probably act somewhat similar in their shoes in all honesty. But that doesn't take away from the feeling of...

I'm really not trying to bait this back into an argument, but it really is hard to exaggerate just HOW much pressure it is for men. In my experience, it's not even if you say something awkward, it's if you're not 100% charismatic and funny and engaging all the time. You can't open with "Hey...

That's fair enough. Personally, I think it is a combination of both. Yes, someone should always take responsibility for their actions and for their life. Society is never going to rework itself for anyone's benefit, and complaining about it without doing anything is pointless. But then, there...

In that case you misinterpreted what I was saying. The reason I added "for men" is because women often refute the point of generally being the more receptive/selective sex when it comes to dating by saying that most of the man they talk to are only interested in sex anyway, but the truth is...

.... when did I say that?

Probably, saying these things out almost always results in some serious backlash. Honestly though, what's baffled me about this is it's not like men don't face the same "issue" as well. Finding someone who geniunely blows you away, who honestly matches all the criteria you might want for your...
