I know I'm obsessing over it. But no matter whether I'm obsessing over it or not, or addressing the problem as best I can, or 'cruising' and going with the flow, or ignoring it, it doesn't matter - the problem still remains. People say 'Be natural' but what is natural? Being relaxed? confident...

Thanks for the replies There were many important points raised, but the question I would like to address the most is the one regarding a 'goal' in life. I have had many goals, but have pretty much failed at most attempts. I say 'most', because I have achieved certain things - I have many...

A new life, I was involved in a cult for many years. After breaking away, I got into yoga and meditation and learned about various religions and philosophies, so I think that this period of my life was highly influential in regards to my current way of thinking.

It's difficult for me to know exactly why God/A higher power would want to do this to me, but my guess is that it would be to live a life outside of society that most people are unaware of or do not understand. Something that would bring me closer to a higher spiritual experience? More in line...

Thanks Holsten ANY kind of considerate reply helps The reason why I feel that God/A higher power would want to punish me is to force me away from society - the more I try to succeed in society, the more difficult it will become until I give up societal pursuits altogether. I do not want to...

Ok, a brief history is required: In school I was bullied, taunted and ridiculed to the point of having to leave because I couldn't cope with it anymore - I did not go to another school for fear that the same thing would happen there - I had no real friends in school anyway and did not go out...

What can they do? When something is beyond repair They have to let it go And order something new Or else leave it in it's present state And simply let it be Lonely and all - until death sets it free Some parts cannot be repaired Because the damage is too great And the cost of repair exceeds...

I'm terrible - really bad. I haven't had any proper, close friends for 18 years. I used to be fairly popular when I was 12/13 years old and then it just became an uphill struggle from then on. I liken myself to 'Mad Max' (minus the violent parts) - I'm too far gone. I can't seem to get the help...

I think my name gives it away! Minus the violent parts, Travis Bickle from 'Taxi Driver'.

I understand your situation. I went to University as a mature student but made no friends :(

I understand this completely, although I don't have a spouse.

Thanks lost girl x

One thing I don't quite understand though is that, you have all offered advice that is seemingly able to cure or at least help my problems/condition, yet you are all (apparently) in the same boat and suffering from the same (or similar) problems as me. If you yourself have not overcome your own...

Thankyou :) Wise words, but unfortunately I've tried all of those things........ I will keep trying, however

Well, that's a start....... So, anybody here like Metallica, Iron Maiden, AC/DC or 80's music and films?

Hi, I'm looking for friends from the UK. I live in Leicestershire.

Thanks for the advice. When I'm faced with the situation that you're describing, I'm faced with thoughts that are self-defeating such as "It'll never work out, it NEVER has in the past" or "you can't trust them" or I think that they are too good for me and that they will think that I am a saddo...

I don't know why it happens, but a lot of people I meet seem to ignore me and shun me. There are some that don't, but it never seems to go beyond aquaintances into a proper friendship. I suppose I'm guilty of sabotaging possible relationships and friendships for one reason or another. Either I'm...

I haven't had any close friends for years either. I always seem to just make acquaintances but it rarely goes any further. :(
