#28623 Dating is shit for guys who have no females in their social circle, don't have a model looking face, and are pursuing a computer-related field.

#28622 I listened to my mother for a good majority of my life, I never had a dad around; my grandpa filed his shoes as far as teaching me how to shave, and all that good stuff... but my mom ruined a good portion of my life because I listened to her, she had no idea how to do anything, why we do half of what we do, she took every shortcut in life and in return she had to move to a shitty town... my life conversely got fucked because i had to move with her instead of doing anything else... since then my life has just been pure shit, no education, work for a low wage which has effected my life negatively; becoming way over weight, fuzzy mind, sleep a lot, never wanting to do anything... I need to change that now.

#28621 I intentionally make conversations and social interactions awkward with silences, strange eye contact, weird smile, and saying random and inappropriate things just to see the reactions of people being snapped out of their head socially conditioned to think a certain way. That shit is funny, and it gives me a high.

#28620 I never thought that duct taping an umbrella to the back of your head, and walking through Potbelly's would look so stupid. But, sure enough, it does.

#28618 So I have been dating this girl for a while. It's been 3 weeks since we made it official. This is my first relationship and I'm a virgin, so I tend to get a little nervous when it comes to intimacy. She says she loves me but doesn't want to have sex with me yet. What does this mean? I find it quite strange because she has slept with her past boyfriends and is quite experienced. It's getting annoying and I feel like I should cut things off with her. Can you really love someone and not want to have sex with that person, unless you are asexual?

#28617 Is it weird to fall for someone you have only met online?

#28619 For about a month now, I haven't been able to motivate myself to do anything. I make it to classes that have mandatory attendance, but other than that, I've missed too many classes. Last week, I was able to make it to my first class every time, but this week I didn't make it at all. I am constantly tired and never have the energy to get up and go anywhere. At this point, I'm worried I've screwed up too much and won't be able to recover, yet even now as I'm writing this, I'm still struggling to even get out of bed for the first time today. I'm worried the professors would be disappointed in me and that would automatically make my scores worse (yes that's weird to think but it's what goes through my head). I do really well on homeworks, labs, quizzes, etc. but I get so anxious and stressed about exams I fail them or at least don't do as well as I know I can do. I'm at the point where I just want to finish school but I'm afraid I'll never get there because of my illnesses and failures.

I also have this constant feeling that no one wants to be around me or do anything with me. I used to have more friends but I just pulled away from the world and was able to recover mentally but have been unable to with friendships. And now when I ask to do something, everyone is busy or doesn't want to go. I know I still have a few really good friends, but it's rough when I still feel alone. And then there's my boyfriend, where I should be happy with him, but I haven't felt like that in a while. I don't want to end things with him because I'm worried it's only how I feel right now with my mentality, and I would regret it when I feel better.

I've decided to see a counselor, but even that has been rough for me to follow through on. Any advice besides "just make the call for help and it will start getting better"?
