I care about what important people think. Others I don't bother with anymore.

I was recently prescribed Zoloft. Has anyone tried it and what were the effects? I have depression and anxiety.

I don't fit in to groups and I don't feel as if I fit in with my family. But I've learned that fitting in is not a requirement for love or friendship, so long as I don't let it negatively affect my self-worth.

I'm so incredibly messed up on the inside, but i wouldn't call it a dark side. More like an infinitely repressed side.

I will always make the first move on anyone I'm interested in if they aren't getting things started. Granted, guys don't always enjoy this but if they aren't they aren't the guys I'm checking for to begin with.

Depends on the woman. I mean, I know it sounds cliche but there is no law of attraction that says no woman will appreciate a shy guy. Given the fact that shy people do end up in successful relationships should be enough evidence. However, I think shy guys are at a huge disadvantage because men...

Women tend to take too much early contact as a sign of desperation. Scratch that, most people. A lot of dating is game playing...acting like yeah we could go out next Saturday if I can pencil you in, and yeah i'll send you a few texts but i won't constantly reply because I have a full life...

I'm neither, but I used to lean toward atheism.

Sweet and salty flavor combos. I.e. a potato chip dipped in chocolate or caramel bugles or something. I also love carbs and cheese.

My first kiss was all kinds of zen.

Like all the advice given, but this really stood out to me.

Pride in self is not a sin. It is essential to motivation and ambition. I don't know what the solution to your problem will be, but what helps me is watching my own thoughts. Let's say you do something well and, out of habit, you start thinking "Well, I have XYZ shortcoming." Don't just let...

In a word, yes :I. But I acknowledge that I'd probably be an ******* if I were like that.

I'm being a self-pitying POS tonight, and I am painfully aware that I have nothing to pity. There is honeysuckle that needs to get done and I'm failing to do it. I'm late to work, late to classes. I binged on foods and messed up my weight loss goals. I'm weak all the time and I want nothing more than...

I relate to your feelings! I think even some loners want the ability to have someone they can hold a meaningful conversation with and connect to, even if they spend most of their time holed up by themselves. Even though I prefer to be alone most of the time, I love feeling close to another...

Looks are important to me. But since I'm attracted to a lot of people who fall into the "not traditionally considered beautiful" spectrum I find a lot of looks attractive. I'm also more interested in a person's style than in their physical body.

I can relate DX. It might be best to stop making it about finding friends and more about enjoying yourself while participating in a hobby with other people. At least then you'll practice social skills and get out among people without venturing too close to loss or disappointment to make it...

Please keep fighting. I wish I had some useful tips or coping mechanisms, but in the end you are going to have to figure out whats effective for you. Something I've never admitted to anyone.. I starve as a form of self harm but do not cut. I think there are many forms of self harm that people...

Hello, and welcome.

What the actual fresia....phaedron, you need to just write a book on the subject
