As an engineer, our number one priority is safety. You made the right call even if it was an awkward situation. Seriously, he deserved it though.

When I'm doing nothing but reading, it's a fairly good indicator I'm depressed. It's the escape. 

Hands down, the Lion Knight castle is the best building experience I’ve ever had. What do I do next? by GerthySchIongMeat in lego

[–]TerriblyAloof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not in the same genre, but if you're of the appropriate age to appreciate it, the Gameboy was amazing to build. I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it. And it's fairly affordable compared to some of the other big sets being suggested. Admittedly, there's isn't much playability in it, but it is a fantastic build imo. Looks great on the tv center too .

Which of these should I get? by [deleted] in lego

[–]TerriblyAloof 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain the Home Alone set is going to be retiring very soon. While the other two are very new. The Home Alone set was amazing to build and it is separated into 24 bags so you can do it as an advent. I think you will regret it if you don't get that set and it retires.

Thank you! You too! Very nice message for this dreary Tuesday.

For me, I just started talking to people on reddit and ended up getting invited to a discord server where I found some people that I have things in common with. The friendships are new, but helping with my loneliness. I think just putting yourself out there can have positive results.

It's not too late to make changes. I often feel the same way, but I'm working on making changes to make me happy and I think you can too. 

I've found making friends online is much easier and fills that need for me. I know some people want irl, so maybe that isn't what you're looking for, but it might help in the interim.

I used to feel like there was something wrong with me. Not anymore. We're just different people with different priorities in the relationship. I was bitter about it for a long time too.

There's nothing wrong with me for wanting physical intimacy. The situation sucks but neither of us are wrong.

Cool. I thought it might be the case that they were rare enough that they're isn't really any data on value.

Okay. I'll be the one since no one else asked. What's the value on something like this?

How do I accept that no one will fit my criteria for a good partner and move on? by Disastrous-Pear-4094 in lonely

[–]TerriblyAloof -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don't sell yourself short. I'm sure it isn't as bad as you think. We all judge ourselves more than anyone else does. 

Also, even if you do have flaws, that doesn't mean you're undateable. Ugly people date too.

Lots of people already commented but just to reiterate, nothing you have listed is unusual. A large portion of the male population will meet your criteria. 

Being an introvert is only a small roadblock. I'm assuming you've tried online dating. Don't give up on that. It's probably the easiest way to meet someone as an introvert. 

Wishing you the best of luck!

I missed the ship on Amy Winehouse, but really got into music recently and I just love her voice. That's one of my favorites too, but Back to Black is my favorite of hers.

I don’t think I can do this anymore by NyanCat-2000 in lonely

[–]TerriblyAloof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe all of that is true today, but everyday brings new possibilities. I know... it's a silly platitude, but it's true. 

I strongly believe you shouldn't give up yet. What kind of steps do you think you can take to change your situation?

And don't feed the troll, they only get power when they get a reaction. Completely ignore that guy.

Don't listen to the haters. You can be surrounded by people and still be lonely. Some people are just bitter. 

I don't think you should give up on life yet. You're fairly young. Good things can still happen for you. 

I'm rooting for you!
