Is that to much to hope for yourself ?
I've definitely thought about that.

"Raffelesia" has bigger problems than a "lack of results". He's got a serious internet and gaming addiction that is interfering with his life and preventing him from having success.

He needs help with this problem.

Begin at the beginning, you'll never meet anyone sitting on the couch, so GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!

See if your parents are ok with you getting a puppy, if they are go get the cutest one you can find.
Get a leash, and let the puppy walk you! Everyone loves puppies, and this will get you into some casual conversations also it's good exercise. Just make sure you take care of it, that includes clean-up, food, vet,etc.

Get out on your own! Living with your parents is bad for your self-esteem. If you can't afford to live alone, find a roomate. If you don't have a job get one, and save, save, save all your money.

Women should be the last thing on your to do list! Your not ready yet. If you can force yourself out of your comfort zone, you'll start to feel better about yourself. Then maybe you can start talking to the ladies.
Good luck!

Well, if you can't do more than think about it, then you need help. Since you probably can't afford professional help, 12 steps is probably your best bet. Addiction has been a major contributor to your problems. If you can recover from addiction, that will help you make your life better.

There's nothing to be ashamed of in coming to realize that you need help.

The reason I am posting as a new account is because I don't want dirt on my name on my real city-data account.

Um, eh?

Okay, easier said than done, but get outside, get some exercise and go meet people. Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Rafflesia is a genus of parasitic flowering plants. It's one of the four carrion flowers that smell like rotting flesh.

I thought it would be a much more appropriate name than the name of my original account.

Stepping out the front door is the hardest part. Set small goals then work to larger ones. You need to be motivated to get out and move forward with your life. Find a supportive group. Weight watchers can be very supportive.

Have you shaved your beard off yet? You have to START SOMEWHERE. Get up, go to the sink, DO IT NOW.

Listen, I hardly ever give serious advice here, I am usually sardonic and smart-assy. But I gave you some good stuff back on page one and I will be disappointed if you ignore it.

But of course, now that I put actual positive energy into a post, this OP will be a troll like the others.

Hopefully this is not too difficult a question to answer.
Do you blame your parents for enabling you, or for never intervening and teaching you better habits?

This is totally not intended as a perjorative; I'm genuinely curious.
