Guys who never dated in high school or college are significantly impaired. Imagine being me and having zero experience at age 24. On issues of the opposite sex I have the emotional maturity level of a junior high schooler. I don't know how to deal with crushes, how to initiate physical contact with girls, or anything like that. I feel pathetic even trying.
You are 24. High school was a long time ago.
Many people don't date much in high school and yet manage to go on to form relationships in adulthood.
What happened in your life between 18 and 24? What about your college years?
First thing you should do is get off the computer. Your posts here are a barrage of complaining and negativity. I don't see how constantly writing out how miserable you are and how defective you feel could possibly be productive for you. It's too much navel-gazing and not enough action. The more you write about this stuff, the deeper you wallow in it. That goes double when you have a negative or defensive answer for those who try to help you. If you just want to vent, go write in a journal or blog. Posting here is tantamount to soliciting input, and if you already have all the answers, you're just wasting everyone's time.
If you are feeling truly down, and don't just need to blow off steam, go talk to a real live human about it, someone who knows and loves you, or, if necessary, a counselor.

PREACH IT
Glittering, read this one again.
AND AGAIN.
Time to take action honey, no more sitting around complaining!

I'm loving it. It's a very liberating experience. Being able to do whatever you want without expectations or having to show a report to someone else.

There ought to be a finite number of gripes and posts indicative of self-sabotage on here. Make it like a Tootsie Pop: Three licks to get to the center. After that, you get bitten in half.
