I disagree that there is no unconditional love. I have unconditional love for every person and animal on this planet - except one ... myself. You are right in that I have surrendered my life, my power, to others. Thus the reason I have given up. My reason for living is to give love to others...

Just re-read my post from several years ago making me feel disappointed and depressed again. Nothing has changed. I still don't feel I'm worthy of anyone's unconditional love yet I'm still hoping it will happen. Loneliness consumes me yet I make sure everyone else only see my "untroubled" persona.

It's refreshing to know there are others out there. Just turned 40 and I too am still a virgin. Still looking for that meaningful relationship. In today's society it is extremely difficult to think you're "normal" for waiting.

I've been struggling with this issue myself. I just turned 40 and find people at my age are either in a relationship or were in a relationship and are now bitter toward the opposite sex.

I'm a self confessed work-a-holic (because it is the one place I feel comfortable) but I don't have anyone who wants to invest additional time with me. It's not that I'm not personable (in fact I'm well liked by everyone I meet), I'm just extremely shy and don't know what to say in social...

Let's just say I teach computers. Although I feel I do a lot of other jobs because I just can't say 'No' when others ask for help.

I’ve never posted anything on the Internet before, but after being depressed for over three months I’ve finally gotten to a point where I need to talk to someone who will listen, so I guess this is the best place to introduce myself and what led me here: I am a 37 year old male who has no...
