    I'm old.

    What kinds of things did you try? It's also hard for me to be interested or passionate about a lot of things that people are into, such as sports or TV shows. I draw and color a lot as well, and it's a great way to express my views on human society. Also, Happy Birthday.

    Taxes and Phone Bill

    I need help with a couple of things. I live on my own and want to cut ties with my emotionally abusive mom. I am hesitant to do so because there are a couple of minor things I depend on her and Dad for. The first is paying annual taxes, which I never really learned how to do or how they work...

    Who's on Facebook?

    I don't log on to Facebook very frequently, but if you decide to PM me I'm pretty quick to respond.

    How likely is it that.......

    Well, people can have millions of dollars but still be insecure about themselves. I imagine it can happen in more ways than one, either that person A is too preoccupied with themselves to notice person B who also has poor self-esteem, or A does notice B's insecurity and is either repulsed by...

    Trouble With Job Interviews

    Thank you for all your advice, guys. I realize that one has a better chance of getting the job by asking the interviewer lots of questions and initiating more. There were times when I tried to sit down beforehand and think up a story based on a question the interviewer asked me that was...

    The Job Hunt is Over

    This is an update from a post I made in the low self-esteem section a couple of weeks ago. I'd been trying to get work for almost two years and was having trouble selling myself in the many job interviews I've had in the past month. I am happy to report that I have finally landed a job at one of...

    Trouble With Job Interviews

    For the past year-and-a-half, I have been trying to get work so I can move to a better city and be independent of my mom. I have been applying to places like Albertson's, Stater Brothers, Ralph's, Costco, Sam's Club, Target, Walmart, and other grocery/retail stores as I have three years of...

    Advice Encouraging People to be Fake

    I agree that as far as people in general, being your true self is the way to go even if it means you won't have many friends. In the case of job interviews, however, your sister is correct. You do have to break some rules if you want the job badly enough, because the reality of the work field...

    Do you have a plan to tackle your loneliness?

    I've been living with my mom for six months now and am going to school for a certificate in audio technology. Unfortunately, the town I live in has a high crime rate with a lot of old and homeless people, so I can't make any friends which has taken a toll on my emotional well-being. However...

    Caring to much about what everyone thinks.

    I don't know if you do this or not, but you should definitely refrain from telling people your problems or personal issues in the earlier stages of your having met them, because no one likes hearing about somebody's problems; it doesn't make for a good first impression.  I went to an open mic...

    Caring to much about what everyone thinks.

    Maybe you could take baby steps by initiating even just a simple "hello" to one person a day, whether it's someone at your job, a cashier at the supermarket, or a fellow schoolmate waiting for class to start.

    My Life is a Lonely Hell

    Relationships and friendships take time to establish, and I know how frustrating it is when they don't work out. But don't give up on reaching out to people, or nothing will happen at all. And I agree on what Callie says about getting out and doing stuff. Whatever it is, just find something that...

    quiet but want to change.

    I agree, it's frustrating when we're the quiet one in a group but when we make an effort to speak, people judge us for it. We're naturally quiet and it takes more energy to be assertive and social. Have you asked your friends for any advice on this?  My ideal limit in a group is two or three...

    PTSD and healing

    I have a friend named Marci who also went through some trauma with illness and relationship problems. Her mom had died of cancer last year, and from what Marci has told me, her mom must have been a great woman. I had experienced a loss of my own, and when we met I think we were both ready...

    Lonely busy guy

    I get your frustration. Making friends and meeting people is hard where I live. But, at least it sounds like you've made an improvement by going from isolation to keeping busy, even if you're not getting the results you want. What are you studying?   I'd also agree with evanescencefan912's...

    Empty inside

    I hate it when people leave, even though I understand that everyone has their own trails they want to blaze in life that may not include me. Your situation sounds similar to an incident I went through last year. Take some time to grieve, then get a job or go to school or somewhere where you can...

    When i get the confidence all of a sudden it banishes when im about to try something

    Hi.  That's great that you've tried to talk to people at work and on the bus. And it's important that you keep putting in that effort, because building social skills is like a muscle that needs to be exercised. If you don't keep at it, you will fall back into the lazy pattern of shyness and...
