I just don't think that is a very good excuse, but I'm not going to act like that's never happened to me because it has. You can't control other people's actions, but you can control how you react, such as having confidence/ambition in yourself to want to change for the better. With over 7 billion people on this overpopulated planet there has to be someone for everyone.

No "might" about it. That's how it is.

Well, you can think about it in a different way.

With over 7 billion people on this overpopulated planet there are not one girl that likes me.

I know this feeling, because I had that growing feeling in my late teens. Then I started reading about dating theory and I improved my dating abilities.

I know making friends as an adult can be hard! I treasure the ones I have.

And I am working on it. I texted someone this morning I think is cool, and, after some back and forth, we have a coffee date for tuesday. I have another person in mind too but I dunno what i did with his phone number .

I am trying to get braver about reaching out .

Yes, I get along well with my grandma and other family members. Suddenly I'm no longer introverted with them.

Only people I have close contacts with besides my parents and kid brother:
1) My grandmother and other family members
2) My long distance ex bf

You also said my correct ethnicity; I'm Hispanic.

Me too lol Ive signed up for some meetup groups in my area. Right now I'm dating someone and have been spending most of my time with her but yeah.. lol.

I think what has hurt me since moving here is that I have gotten into a rut and have always had my family there to keep me company. I have met people but they are more of acquantances and most have their own lives already. For instance one of my army buddies I met while living her has a wife/kids/job/etc..busy, another old college friend is working 60 hours/week in another city in the oil industry. The friend I did have that I spent time with we had a falling out a couple of months ago ;0.

Perhaps a lot of the guys on here don't have any kind of support and there's no one around to encourage them or get them to see their positive aspects?

Woman are great at that and it nice for a female you do not know that well to say you can do it or you got this.

I can't imagine. Two of my closest 3 friends are guys.

Do you ask about their feelings?

Some men may be even more sensitive than most women.So no matter how much we hurt inside we will do our best to not let it be known. We feel it, but we won’t show it.
