Yes, but there are also a lot of people getting divorced and losing their jobs. The only difference is that they don't broadcast it on social networking sites, or otherwise.

Anyone interested? It would kind of be a study of the cards. Or to consult each other if a confusing reading came up.

From what you've described it sounds very, very likely that there ARE people on FB who care about you, and would be sad if you were gone. Just because people may not message, doesn't mean they don't care or appreciate you. Because of the nature of FB, people usually construct their lives in a...

Everything you've posted seems quite normal. There are so many 30+ year olds who have never had a romantic relationship. It seems you are doing fairly well professionally? If so, that's a huge accomplishment. I have not had significant pressure to move out by my family (although I currently...

To speak to her "I don't like dating comment," well, I have said that same thing to turn down a date. Never realized how strange it probably sounds, so that's a heads up for me. Thank you for that. I said it because I actually don't like dating/hanging out with people period. It was a more...

But if they're pretending they have a problem to meet people, they probably do, lol.

I use distraction a lot too. But sometimes I feel like a hamster on a wheel, getting nowhere. Usually I'm okay with this, but sometimes it's a bummer.

Intellectually I understand the difference between being alone and being lonely, but I have been both for so long that I am no longer able to emotionally recognize the distinction. As far as the ways that loneliness and being alone function in my life, they have become the same thing. And no...

I have been in this situation with a friend before, and always felt acutely uncomfortable when they started bashing the other person. Sometimes it can be used as a bonding tool. Sounds strange, but creating a common enemy is a tactic used to feel closer to someone. There are a million other...

Pushing good people away is just a misguided self defense mechanism. I do it all the time. Actually I just messed up my life real bad by doing it. Try and get better at identifying who is a safe person who has good intentions towards you, and who is pursuing you for harmful/negative...

Lol, I was young. Jr, high maybe? I called to see if they wanted to go to a school dance with me. Rejected. It was ok though, I got over it fast.

There's an official name for your dad's parenting style, but I forget what it is. Both of these styles are very negative. During my teen years I was institutionalized and there we were "raised" with this kind of never-right mentality (they claimed it was part of their disciplinary program for...

I'm going through the same thing right now. It's a very common response to abuse, or some parenting types, where the child is never good enough, never gets good enough marks, etc. A lot of the time there are two selves. One that wants to be loved and the other that wants to be hated and...

right now I would rather make the pizza, but with a friend. WYR: take a bath in worms or raw offal? Oops, someone replied to the pizza thing. I would rather keep my thoughts to myself right now.

The details aren't important but I've been burning some bridges lately. I have isolated myself from my social networking sites where people know me by name and turned my phone off. Wanting to isolate from the people who know me in real life. Been in a really bad place and gotten some help for...

It's up to you. You are free to define success by your own standards. If you agree with what society says is success, then you probably don't feel that they're lying. I do though.

That makes sense. It's good they were receptive to you. When I tried to bring up the subject a while ago they took it as "oh, so you think we're totally unsupportive" and then put up all these walls so didn't hear what I was asking of them.

You can give them rep. It's the button with the plus sign at the bottom left of the post.

We're not losers, we're loners. Unless you have internalized society's lies; that success is based on prestige, power and money.

By "faggot ass boyfriend" do you mean that her new boyfriend isn't a testosterone pumping beefcake, like you? That could explain everything.
