I've always felt like an outsider, like I was too fragile for this world. I never had a 'clique', although in HS probably the nerdy group by default. I had dreams of becoming a well-known musician, but things have sabotaged that.
Trimac you talk a lot about your anxiety and psychological issues. I'm curious what steps you are taking to address them. Are you being proactive about getting help?

I'm not technically a virgin but I don't want to share too much because I know i'll be judged. It was an all-round weird situation. But I believe something psychological has manifested itself as something physical. I can give you details but they're probably not appropriate for this forum. If you're really interested I can PM you.

I'm on meds...I guess just trying to relax, calming techniques...trying to get out of the house more. Yeah people keep telling me I should be more pro-active, but I think I'm slowly getting there. I have this weird OCD thing which makes it literally hard for me to speak, so that's a major obstacle in me socialising, which does help.
I think you should get some help too, but mostly because you seem really down/hard on yourself and I hate to see that. I don't think this forum helps you feel uplifted.

This forum is a compulsion. It's now more than something to fill the hours, it's a way of forgetting about my problems. It literally is like a drug in that sense.

At the end of every day, ask yourself, "what have I gained from posting on this forum?"
If you can't think of anything, make a change. Forgetting about your problems won't make it go away. The time you spend asking questions on here could be spent on addressing your issues instead.
Well, I'm almost 21....haven't even held hands with a girl yet....
Well that bodes well for me...
F**k it, I'm going back to by virtual women,
So you're just going to give up? That's definitely the wrong thing to do. You don't achieve anything in life by giving up.
