Thanks again, you made me feel better. I appreciate the "no easy answers" sentiment, the quick fix never works long-term. One problem is that I don't trust that I will have feelings, maybe out of nervousness or something. So I try improve in that regard; my feelings have been repressed for too...

Thanks for your reply, Tom. Something struck me; I'm mostly just debugging my life. Looking for faults and how to fix them. I even have fun just to "make me better". That's true, everything does seem easier when someone else does it. But, I've had one relationship in my life. Obviously, it's...

There again... think I'm starting to hate my ex. I don't know if I care about my life anymore.

What a pathetic post. What's worse, I know I felt all of it. Thanks for your replies, and I will try to keep that in mind. I tend to put people above me when meeting them for the first time.

I think I'm a positive guy, I tend (or tended?) to look on the positive side of things. I even started thinking positively about being single, hence this thread. But that was just for a short while. But how can it be not? I can't simply will it away. I hope I was just at a high peak when I...

Fck.. why is it so hard to find someone, why does it have to be the hardest thing in the world? The thing I want the most and it is never 'given' to me. Maybe I'm spoiled. But I'm getting so fed up having to work on my social demeanor all the time, why can't I be good enough? Why do I have to be...

Yeah, maybe I won't like it, maybe I will? I think it's the same feelings for going out and doing other stuff as well, only larger/more severe. Like, taking improv classes. I might actually do that because I like the activity itself. Hm...

Everyone tells you that you shouldn't be looking for a relationship, that they should just happen. I've never understood that, until some two weeks ago. I've been longing for a girlfriend since elementary school, but it has always felt like it's something out of reach for me. Either I'm ugly or...

Done. I'm going for 21 more.

Thanks for the replies all, I'll get a check-up with my GP at least. About anxiety, I have a feeling it might be just that. I think I've been feeling stress from lacking the social life I want since middle school, and it makes me even more stressed when it seems I can't do anything about it...

I've never thought about being stressed out before; I don't really know what it feels like. Maybe like this? A light pressure in my chest, started having that today. An upset stomach most of the time, though I do eat lots of carbs (~380g/day). Feeling nervous often, sudden/quick moves. Worrying...

Something strange has happened. Or, is happening. I notice quite a bit of people looking at me, right in the eyes. Sometimes when I catch someone doing it, they turn away quickly. Haha. Which might or might not be relevant to this thread. One reason might be because I've been wearing a nice...

This twoness rings bells. Yin-yang? And how about this: Drawing Hands On a more serious note, maybe picturing these two minds in other people will make me more interested in communicating with them. Create connections. Make them feel great.

Yeah, I think so. You should be able to experience your emotions completely, while sometimes it might be a good idea for your rational mind to control them better. I think this works for a person that doesn't have too many emotions all of the time, but for other persons it might be dangerous...

Why are there so many rating measurements here on this forum? I figured a forum for lonely and depressed people shouldn't do that. I'm talking about the "Warning Level", "Reputation", "Thread Rating", etc. Just a thought.

Okay, this will be a somewhat New Age-y post, so here: I was sitting, on my floor, meditating to some music to stimulate emotions and to have something to focus on. After a while, I started thinking, or I "got a vision", that I'm actually two entities; one rational mind that does all the...

Ok, I'm in!

Thanks, it must be nice to know what you want. I don't really know – fearing I don't have a heart. I'm not used to "doing what I want", I've mostly been on autopilot. But I do like teaching, it's just, I can't do it right now. I'm thinking about joining a political party, doing work there. At...

Settling down here, is it possible? I’m just letting the days pass, not really feeling like this is it. What’s my life supposed to be? My goals, to start my own company and later, take on teaching at the university. Is that to be my future, here in this city? In this apartment? I love this city...

I was like this; I went through middle school to university and didn't wear shorts nor T-shirts in public. I didn't like others seeing my skinny arms and legs. I think it stemmed from that once in school, a guy wrapped his hand around my wrist and said I was really skinny. Same thing happened...
