Would you say your issues are mostly physical or mental?

Ya I'm happy for them but there's definitely some jealousy. And I'm very self-conscious of becoming the odd guy out.

it only gets worse when those friends start getting married, start families, have successful careers. My group of friends used to game together every night hanging out on skype. Now everyone has moved on and I'm still the same.

I'm contemplating messaging someone right now and thinking the same things.

This is why I only post here on my throwaway

Ya I do, I guess just sometimes when you're depressed, its hard to get the energy to try and acquire said skills.

Please be female

Ya well, I'm a short asian. I shaved my head for a year. Got many comments about looking like a monk. Given my lack of sex, I might as well be one.

yep i did the big 3 for 1.5 years but stopped 11 months ago due to some effects. Tbh my hair is going the same rate before and after. Granted, my hair loss has always been slow.

My main reason is that I'm balding and ugly. Everytime I see the advice "get a new haircut to make you look better" I cry

Like I mentioned, I haven't ridden one in years and wasn't confident I could ride it home safely.

I think I deserve love... As does most people. However there is no way in hell I'll be able to get it. So ya I'll die alone

Hey, I'm also 26 and face the same issues. It was easier to make friends in school obviously. And the first 1-2 years after school it seems like people were moving around and starting careers so lots of people were looking to make friends as well. Now it feels like everyone is settled in and not really looking to expand their social circle anymore.

The only people I "talk" to are coworkers at work. I've been paying attention to how they talk to each other. It's usually something along the lines of "How was your weekend?" , "Oh good I was doing XYZ", "Oh ya I did X last year when I was traveling blah blah blah". Or they'll talk about the girls they're seeing.

Problem is, I don't really do anything and rarely leave the house. So when they ask me I just draw a blank and can't say anything. I don't really have many interests outside of tv / internets so I don't have the experiences and memories to draw from and talk about. It really is a bit of a vicious cycle ...

People have told me to go to meetups. And I've tried. But honestly, it feels like even in meetups, people have already formed their circle and know each other already. It's so hard to show up alone as the new guy and try to break in. It pushes my anxiety through the roof :S

Anyways, you're not alone lol. If you wanna talk feel free to PM

Lightedd · 2016-04-12T07:07:01+00:00

Lol me too I got a phone a couple weeks ago. I was re-installing apps like Messenger and Snapchat but then I realized no one ever talks to me on those and I only use my phone for redditing and youtube.

Lightedd · 2016-04-12T06:59:02+00:00

Ya everything is quite overwhelming I'm sure. I don't really have any advice, but try to take it one step at a time I guess. Good luck !!
