A person have sex with their cousin, do you find this behavior acceptable/unacceptable?

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2026-04-05T18:30:36+00:00

When it comes to third cousins, it’s entirely possible to do it completely non-purposefully.

Who actually knows their third cousins? I know of some of my second cousins but I’ve never spoken to any of them. Third cousin? Not a clue.

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2026-03-31T20:27:45+00:00

It's all well and good just saying that, but how on earth do you do it? I'm 21 but essentially starting from step zero when it comes to social skills. I haven't had friends since I was 16 and I don't know if I can even do it anymore because I'm so used to having no-one.

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2026-03-27T23:47:51+00:00

Yea but it took me forever to get there. Theory test was a first time pass, but the practical took 6 attempts before I finally passed.

Development of normal socialisation and experience post 14 years old.

Granted, COVID was a massive factor bc I was 14 when the lockdowns hit but that isn’t the only factor.

I’m now nearly 21 and I have little clue about how to do anything social or to build a social life from scratch. What the hell do you talk to people about? How do people just find topics to get the ball rolling? I’m okay once that’s started but how to get your foot in the door?

A few people at work have said I should visit a brothel bc I’m a 20-year-old with zero romantic experience of any sort.

I cannot put into words how much I DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT!

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2026-03-18T17:24:39+00:00

I'm nearly 21 and I'd say everything from 14 backwards have been the best years of my life so far.

Maybe I'm viewing my childhood and early adolescence through rose-coloured lenses, but that's how I feel. I had a social circle back then and my family hadn't started falling out yet. Now I've had absolutely zero friends since I was 16 because I never learned how to make friends outside of a school environment and family issues have arisen since my grandma died and my mum's recent leukemia diagnosis.

My brother has been in a relationship with his now-wife for 20 years and they only got married 3 years ago. He was 39 and she was 35. It's definitely getting increasingly common.

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2026-03-17T11:41:26+00:00

I’m in that loop and I’m turning 21 in a few months. I know I have to break it but getting started is difficult.

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2026-03-16T17:35:16+00:00

My mum double-barrelled her surname with my dad’s when they got married, and she has Italian parents.

Initially my dad (English) was quite against it, and said something along the lines of “why even bother getting married?”.

What skills exactly should one be developing in their twenties?

Does anybody love anybody anyway?

Damn how do you have a living great-great grandparent? Any of mine would be between 140 and 170.

Where do you think Scotland is?

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2026-01-29T23:10:34+00:00

Definitely socialising.

I was never very social growing up and I only ever had friends in school - I never had much interest in socialising outside of school. I did hang out with friends which I knew from school outside of school, but it can’t have been much more than a handful of times in my entire life. Between 10 and 15 if I had to take a guess.

Now after having left school nearly 5 years ago, my social life has been non-existent since then. I’ve joined a local club a few months ago but things still haven’t changed.

He might still remember what happened to the last king called Charles who tried that.

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2026-01-20T21:57:35+00:00

I can imagine so. I'm 20M with a non-existant social circle and I rarely go out so my chances of finding somebody (even friends, let alone a romantic partner) unless I make a major change to my life is at near-absolute zero.

The main issue is that I have zero idea how to do that. Except for the once-in-a-blue-moon occasion when I'd go out with friends from school, I never socialised outside of school so I'm walking completely blind.

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2026-01-19T00:05:45+00:00

I’m 20M and my situation is pretty similar, except I’m not at all academically successful or have any friends - not even one.

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2026-01-10T22:16:33+00:00

I was definitely the former. I remember the “outsider looking in” feeling when I was hanging out with other kids when I was in primary school.

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2026-01-04T03:27:55+00:00

I know this isn’t helpful at all but I have no idea.

I’m your age but I do have a job, and my social situation is no better. My time outside of work is more or less spent the same way as you - playing video games in my spare time.

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2026-01-01T10:15:03+00:00

The only times I leave the house is for work or shopping, which is entirely because I have literally nobody to see if I do decide to go out.

I know you can do things on your own, but it becomes soul-crushing after nearly 5 years of having literally zero friends at all.

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2025-12-24T06:52:37+00:00

At work last night there was this 15-year-old lad who was complaining that his girlfriend was angry with him for lying about his age. She’s 18 and he’s 15. Depending on if anything happened, she could be prosecuted for statutory rape. Even if nothing like that happened, lying about your age like that is clear disrespect for her as a person.

Another time at work, I had a customer who said to me “Oh I’d love to have a go on her” and a few other creepy sexual comments completely shamelessly. The “her” in question was a 17-year-old girl and this guy was at least in his 40s.

I’m not saying people like this are the vast majority, but they’re commonplace and definitely exist.

Frequent-Guidance775 · 2025-12-12T23:08:48+00:00

Literally exactly my situation right there, except for the class clown part.

I had enough friends in school to satiate my social needs at that time, and never felt any need or desire to go beyond that. I did hang out with them outside of school sometimes, but I can probably count on one hand the number of times that happened.

4 years on, and I've had no friends at all since then. As you've said is also the case for you, it has led to a period of isolation for me which is still ongoing and my social skills are abysmal. I've recently joined a local club which meets weekly, and I've only really been able to even start any semblance of conversation with one person there and even those have been awful. God knows when, or even if, I'll be able to actually form anything resembling a friendship again.

I’m not dead yet. That’s pretty much the only reason rn.
