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'm just completely at a loss.  Nothing works. I've lowered my expectations. I'd settle for just a few dates, a one night stand even. Just going to clubs and parties and such- doesn't work. I've tried building my friendship network, I've got more friends than I know what to do with now. Still...

So last year I tried online dating and I gave up pretty quick since there was virtually no one in my area.  This year, I have a lot more friends, but my romantic life has been very unsuccessful, so thoughts turned to dating again. Better self-esteem and knowing that a lot of people actually...

I've gotten a bit better at "socialising". Making small talk, jokes, etc. More people have started to respond positively to me lately, as opposed to just shutting me down every time I open my mouth. And I am actually good looking, definitely for my area. I'm not gonna claim any girl "likes" me...

So, new set of flatmates/roommates again this year. Seemed.... well, nice. Not exactly "best friend" material, I did struggle to try and relate to their talk of getting laid and whatnot, but, no awkward silences, made a few jokes that made everyone else laugh. Was chill, definitely a group I...

So, bit of a long one. On my second day back to university about two weeks ago, my best (and only notable) friend sent me a cryptic message saying that she wanted to take a break from skype and the internet to focus on getting her life together, and that she'd "probably" talk to me again. It...

I know I'm not really worth talking to but... I have nowhere to turn. Twenty years old, bit of a nerd. Nothing much else to say

Looks like it. The typical message a bit less for a few days, and then she suddenly left mid-conversation without saying anything, and hasn't messaged me again since. I really hate that. We'd had a few fights before, but otherwise things were going decent, we even agreed to try to improve our...

Look. I know this just sounds like another self-defeating, overdramatic thread. I know all the responses are probably just gonna be "But you're young, things can change!". But, trust me when I say, I know myself, and I gotta face facts. I know it probably sounds like I'm exaggerating. I'm quite...

Chances are, if you've ever tried talking about any self-esteem issues you have, you've gotten this line "Why do you even care what they think? Just be yourself", or some variant of it. Alright, this might seem a bit toxic, but, I genuinely get annoyed by this bit of advice. I recently got this...

So, as a followup to my last thread in the relationships section (not gonna go over it all again, read here if you care http://www.alonelylife.com/showthread.php?tid=36450), and as the title of this thread suggests, I told her how I felt. The response however, was really not something I...

I've almost posted this thread several times, but I keep having second thoughts. Guess I should just go for it. So, long story short, I have feelings for someone, but I'm not sure if I should tell her, or even really do anything about it due to several complicating factors. Full story- there's...

I'm someone who tends to swear a lot. Maybe not, "A LOT" a lot compared to some people, but I drop quite a few f-bombs and such in my sentences, because it helps me express myself better. It's a "bad" habit that I've never really made any effort to get rid of, because I never considered it a...

I think... I just wanna feel alive. I've been living in my head for so long, I don't remember what it's like any other way. To actually, you know, be in the moment? Seriously, I don't have anyone I consider a "friend" in "real life", and haven't for many years. And, it's not for lack of trying...

fresia it, I'm just going to be 100% honest here, just say everything. None of you will care anyway, I doubt I'll even get a response, I'm just so **** worthless to everyone I have nothing left. Nothing. I look like honeysuckle, my clothes are dirty and falling apart, I haven't shaved in weeks or had a...

It's so surreal how I'm in the exact same situation as last year. Made no friends over the year, probably gonna lose contact with my flatmates, lost the girl I loved due to my own selfishness and inability to cope with a situation, trying to reach out to people online, but most of them just make...

First off, sorry I've been making way too many threads lately. Anyway, on to it. Something I've experienced a lot over the past few years, especially since I started making friends online, is slowly losing them. And, with these past few, I've started to recognise when it's about to happen. It's...

For most people, loneliness is temporary. Or at least, they know they can fix it if they put in the proper effort. But not for me at this stage. I don't even see any opportunities any more, and I don't understand. I'm starting to panic. What is wrong with me? I'm in university, I'm surrounded...

I might have posted about this before, but basically, my flatmates have all dumped me. Beginning of the year when I first moved in was great. We got along, we had drinks together at least once a week or every few weeks. Things seemed to be, at least somewhat, looking up. Then, near the end of...

Yeah, yeah, the obvious, they just wanna get laid without the commitment. But lately I've been feeling more sympathetic, like there's more to it. I feel like I mention my ex in every thread, so I'll keep that part short. Bad break up last year, awful in fact. Haven't felt a thing for any girl...
