I'd say they should be banned outright. Encouraging suicide is never acceptable.

Yes, women ask men out. I've been asked out about as many times as I have asked someone out, which is not many. I said no on those occasions though because I didn't like the girls who were asking. One of the girls was just using me as a rebound, and the other I just couldn't stand being with...

Anyone else watch it?

Is there a news story or something for it so we can know about it?

You don't have to become a jerk. Just don't allow your negative self evaluations to prevent you from making a move.

I feel that every member of these forums would benefit greatly if they were to watch this video that I found talking about feeling connected and vulnerability. http://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_on_vulnerability.html

It is good advice not to beat yourself up over it. I know I have quite a bit in the past, though now I see my loneliness more as a result of poor circumstance than as a result of poor choices that I made. I feel like society is infected with loneliness, and maybe there is no cure.

I cannot contemplate finding a wife at 37. It would be so miserable to wait that long. @only me, are you saying that I should be happy living alone? I hate the idea that idea that everyone should be perfectly content by their lonesome because, if anything, that is not practical. If I were...

I've become very depressed lately, and I've realized that loneliness is causing it. I have sleep problems from loneliness. I lay in bed awake for hours, and for a long time I wondered what the problem was. Finally, I have realized, as pathetic as it is, that I really just want a special someone...

You need to not compare yourself to others so much because the time is yours, not theirs. While some people are lucky and have everything work out for them right away, that is not true for everyone. Some people work very hard, even completing ph.d.s, and then find it was a waste of time in terms...

I cannot stand this. I feel so worthless.

I don't know why it matters, but I am male. I am not doing so well.

I have been crying today. I feel extremely worthless, and I am afraid that I am always going to be lonely. I don't know if I have the capacity to be happy on my own or not, and I don't know if I have the capacity to form and maintain a meaningful relationship with someone or not. I don't see...

I'm not Asian, and I would definitely date and consider a serious relationship with an Asian, any kind of Asian (Asian is a huge and arbitrary category that combines many groups of completely different people). Ethnicity doesn't really bother me.

I found out I never slept through the night until the age of 3; I always got lonely and missed my mother. Tonight I didn't sleep through the night either, but I guess it beats my usual 3-4 hours of lying in bed before falling asleep. I think that I have always been a clingy person and that I am...

It is going to be worse when these dolls become not just dolls but robots as well. How terrible would it feel to have a woman you're interested in choose a doll over you?

I'm 19 and a virgin. I don't care that much about being a virgin though; meaningless sex is easy to get. My main concern is getting a good relationship, which I have never had and want very much. To me, that is the real issue. I hate how the media makes getting action into such a big deal. It...

First mistake: Never call!- I guess I don't call because I don't know what to do with people. I constantly IM people, but when it comes to doing things with them, I'm clueless. Second mistake: Act too cool!- This goes along with the first one. I do not know how to be fun. I think I've gotten...

Thanks Lonesome Crow (and everyone else who has posted). I just slept for about 13 hours straight.

I really hate life right now. Why can't I ever be happy? All I can think about is how terrible I am feeling, and I can't sleep. Last night I got two hours disrupted hours, and the night before I didn't sleep at all, though I have had long naps so it isn't as bad as it sounds. I really need to...
