Many of us aren't satisfied with having a "place holder" relationship, And many of us have yet to find anyone with whom we feel we feel we can have a meaningful relationship, in spite of looking for such a person. But we are nonetheless lonely, and want someone to understand us and maybe help us...

Thanks for the replies! I'll take a look into CBT, I suppose

I seriously agree with this thread. People think like their appearances are everything in terms of meeting people. They're not. They have some impact, but for anyone worth meeting, not enough that an interesting personality can't totally override their view of someone's appearance.

I'm old enough to be my own grandfather! Welcome to the forum, anyway!

I would go back in time and attempt to change my life. Which would result in my life becoming exactly what it is now. **** Novikov's Self-Consistency Principle.

I know the feeling of losing friends pretty well myself. I would recommend you stay in touch - you might not be as close as you used to, and she might be busy, but it seems to me that this is a friendship worth keeping.

I hope you succeed with your abstinence!

It's become increasingly difficult for me to post here on ALL. Whenever I write something or try to give advice, I find myself constantly questioning my own opinion. I can't help but feel that I have nothing useful to say, or that other people find what I say unhelpful, but likewise don't want...

Congratululations! (ulululululululululululu)

Write a post inviting people to share something about themselves (their hobbies, music, favourite movies, whatever), and most people are all to glad to talk about themselves. Often enough that turns into a reasonable conversation. People always reply to things they feel they have something...

"Why Bother?" It's the same question that I always find myself asking myself. Recently, however, I have found reasons to bother, even though they're pretty minor. Things like playing a new game I got, or having dinner with my extended family every week, or going to a public speaking club I'm a...

Gak! Just realised you already had a thread up about recommending anime to you. Whoops. (but seriously, Durarara!! is awesome!) You ninja'd me so badly there
