I guess I'm a cyborg. Things seem bleak though. My hopes for the future seem to be crumbling from beneath my feet, leading into an endless pit of despair.

I just wanna settle down with a nice girl. But any time I get into contact with a female I just get hurt. I don't think I'm cut out for human relationships. Every time I expose my core, a spear always finds it's way inside to wound me. I don't like hiding behind a barrier. But the barrier is the only thing keeping me safe...

I know the feels bro.
I have opened myself up to women in the past and I usually just get crushed and destroyed.
So then I just treat them like whores and want only sex..
>So then I just treat them like whores and want only sex.. That's something I'd never be able to do. I guess relationships these days are kill or be killed. Whatever happened to companionship? Mutual trust and love? Lifetime monogamy? Were these things always just a hopeful fantasy for hopelessly delusional people like me?

What kinds of girls are you talking too?
Its hard to find a nice 3D one.
I need a nice Christian girl my age that doesn't drink or do drugs and had enough self respect that she wont ask me to fuck her for at least a few months of dating.
I've only really talked to girls from Jow Forums lately. Probably a huge mistake, I know. But I'm so bad at real life interactions that even if I come across the girl of my dreams who could potentially give me what I'm looking for, I wouldn't even be able to look her in the eye. Any opportunities I have are lost due to my social ineptitude.
>tfw you were born into the wrong time period I mean technology is cool and all but I think I'd rather have a love that stood the test of time. That would be ultimately more fulfilling. I'm in a pit of despair right now, but I'll stand up and climb out eventually. I always do. I just need some time to recover.
Jordan Martinez
there are no worthwhile girls on Jow Forums those girls are looking for beta orbiters to shower them with compliments and tip there fedoras.
Having a breakup or being turned down or even a lack of confidence to approach a woman can be depressing.
Maybe time to reflect is the best thing, jumping right back into a relationship with someone new can be a mistake.
you sound like you don't hate or seriously disrespect women which is a good thing. that kind of attitude will definitely help when interacting with girls you do like.
I made the mistake of blaming women for everything wrong with my relationships without considering that maybe that girl was clearly not the kind of person I should be looking to have a serious relationship with. or that my behaviour contributed to they way things ended.
>used to have a gf, have job and some friends >be the weirdo at work, almost-crippling anxiety, spend most of my weekends in front of my computer afraid to go outside, haven't had a date in 8 years
Nicholas Cox
Are you me? Though I ended up quitting my job because I could no longer stand being the "weirdo". Especially as I got older and the teenage co-workers stayed the same age...
Eli Rivera
What would that be?
Your virginity? Your faith in God? Your child? Your Beach Boys CDs?
8 years is a long time without a date but hey I don't think I have ever been on an actual date with a woman. Like a dress shirt/combed hair sit down at a restaurant and talk to eachother over a meal kind of date. Im way to much of a sperg autist for that.
Try being a 22 year old dishwasher. they are all laughing at me I fucking KNOW IT!
>Not monstrous looking, going to the gym for the past three months is also helping >Just finished my degree, have job experience >Not completely retarded >Decent group of friends
But
>23 y.o. KHV >Deficient in self-confidence >Socializing with strangers makes me uncomfortable, I think I'm anxious about people judging me and that I'll embarrass myself >Aforementioned also dissuading me from ever even trying to get a gf
I feel like I have the ability to be a normie if I can develop myself a bit. I also started therapy recently. Hopefully I can fix myself soon.
>no friends, KV >out of shape (skinnyfat, not fat), mild but persistent acne >judgmental towards people with shit hobbies while my only hobby is browsing Jow Forums
I probably described a good 25% of the population of this board actually, so I'm also very unremarkable
Going to the gym and seeing a therapist are two really great ways to improve yourself! Im too pussy to work out but I do see a counsellor and it really helps me work on myself!
Once you get a job with that degree im sure you will feel more confident.
I feel tense around strangers a lot of the time. specifically other males that could beat me in a fight.
Don't talk yourself out of approaching women. Im a huge sperg and I still get smiles and a laugh from a girl when I try my best.
Jacob Clark
Good on you for being smart enough not to fall for the drugs and alcohol meme. I got into some pretty hard stuff and it has taken years for me to work my way out of it. A person who is clean from that stuff has that slight advantage over his peers.
I judge everyone with extreme prejudice the second I meet them. but my opinion of them can change back and forth very quickly...
>what a nice guy >"I hate racism!" >what a goof he is going in the oven
>I hate that woman >smiles at me >shes alright
Juan Miller
>I feel tense around strangers a lot of the time. specifically other males that could beat me in a fight. Interesting. I don't find it's about intimidation for me, I think my self-worth is so low I'm always going to latch onto anything that makes me think I'm annoying people or unwelcome. My paranoia also makes me sperg out even more, I'm only really awkward when I feel like I'm under scrutiny. Among my friends or in less social situations, like school, I act like a normal person. Something like a party or a bar is different.
Sebastian Ramirez
The fact that you go to party's and bars is a good thing. I feel uncomfortable when im in an environment I cant control or a new environment that I'm not familiar with. Whenever Im surrounded by large groups of people I REALLY freak out.
There is nothing wrong with paying close attention to what your doing and how your being received. When I start thinking that Im doing everything wrong is when I start to do just that.
>House >Work >Church I never feel really out of place here. maybe a little from time to time.
