Hello to all!
Whew, where to begin.
I'm a career 'Third Wheel'. A 'Spare Tire' might be a more appropriate term (hence the username). I'm just a couple months shy of my 28th birthday and I've never had a girlfriend, and I find I haven't the courage or the self-esteem to even attempt to find someone.
I'm not much of a social creature. Whenever I find myself in a social setting I usually end up off to the side somewhere, mired in awkward silence and [/font]intensely uncomfortable. So I don't go out much, and as a result it is difficult (nearly impossible) for me to meet new people. The general assumption is; you enter the adult world, garner life experiances, build character, meet someone, fall in love and live happily ever after. Life so far has managed to disuade me of this allusion, and I have a real fear that I will grow old and die alone.
I feel very bad about myself most of the time. I'm nowhere near the man I wanted to be, and I don't know if I have it in me to right the ship at this stage of the voyage. But you never know, I suppose.
I'm glad I found this site. I think it could be very theraputic.
Thanks!
