I signed up to OkCupid because that's about the only way I can meet women. If I think about it, days could pass between the times I'd talk to a girl. Not because of shyness or bitterness or anything like that, there simply aren't any girls where I am. Except on the subway, but who wants to be...

Yes you're right of course, I don't think I'd even want to know...

Hi! So I'm feeling a bit of emotions at the moment; new feelings I've never felt before, and would like some help in analyzing them. Background: I've been together with a girl for 1.5 years, we were each other's first real love and my first relationship at 23 years of age. She broke up with me...

Well, does it matter? I guess if it's a medical condition, it will probably take longer to improve. I'm the same, but now I "only" have one thing to be depressed about; not having a SO. I need that kind of relationship where I can feel completely relaxed, someone to always be able to be with. I...

I managed to get a girlfriend who loved me, and I loved her. It was my first relationship, and it lasted 1.5 years. I was happy with her, and she was happy with me. We were really good together. I was too ambivalent about moving in together; I had never had a place of my own before and I was...

I've given it some thought, and it's possible I'm depressed. But then I've been so for ages, maybe all my teenage years and up. And that's a scary thought. I don't know how much I should blame the computer; sometimes it feels like it's eating all my energy. If I didn't have it, maybe then I'd...

I have this problem that I'm quite apathetic when I'm on my own. I usually sit by my computer, either wasting time or maybe doing something productive. But that's not the problem, it is that I don't want to do any other things. For example, finding and buying new clothes, furniture--cleaning...

Lawrens, thanks! I guess that means I'm not the only one experiencing this. :) Some of you expressed interest in trying my stuff out/reading about my progress/etc, which is fabulous! :D It increased my motivation. I'm going to work some more on my first project until I have something worthy of...

Thanks guys for all the replies! They made me feel a lot better--it's easier to ignore other people being negative when you know you're working towards your dream! I think I need to find people doing the same stuff; people I can discuss with. Banhurt and Brian: thanks for the technical answers...

Thanks for your reply! These people are friends I've known for years, which is what's hurting. They never start conversations, never ask what's up. Why are people like that? Why am I not like that? Gah. I don't like where I am. But yeah, you might be right. Maybe I need to make something they...

Hey guys! I guess this a silly subject compared to most other posts here, but it's been making me feel depressed lately. So. I'm a pretty creative person, I've always had projects making computer software/games/etc. and I've always been pretty humble about it, I never "released" anything to...

Thanks for all the replies, guys! :D I haven't had any bad experiences with big gatherings or anything like that, I just feel like it won't give me anything; that it's just a waste of time. But now and then I accidentally end up in social situations like those and I find them quite bearable, but...

Hi people! I have a problem, which is that I tend to avoid social gatherings like birthdays, parties, going out to clubs and bars. I even avoid the casual friday coffee at work! I feel this is a bit limiting. I never get psyched up about social gatherings, is this common? And why am I like this...

Some stuff the OP said rang true to me, and I have been thinking about it for a long time; when I don't have any sexual urges (they can take a good chunk out of my day when I'm alone), I feel better because I can really do stuff and not feel guilty afterwards; I can have a conversation with a...

Yeah, I guess I should try just being there, telling her how much I love her. Maybe push her to try new things that she might be good at? Getting good at stuff -> better confidence -> lower depression, am I right? She's already got one, and sure; it's helping, but it's also limiting her life...
