I guess some background first.

I grew up alone, I mean totally alone. Didn't have any friends until I was 20. Always struggled to not be lonely. All that's kept me going has been massive willpower. (That's why what I write is going to sound cold and calculating, it's just who I am)

I moved 2000 miles from home awhile ago to try and find better (liberal) surroundings and work. But it's not changing anything. My other half is sending money for me to live on, but they're slowly tiring of the drain. I haven't been able to find any contacts, much less any work.

At the moment I just sit around and try to amuse myself. If I go out i'm always afraid to say anything to someone because i'm sure I look stupid. Nobody ever seems to take much interest in me. I don't drink, dance or do drugs. I've always been judgmental, and bore easily which aggravates the problem.

There is a considerable sum on money in savings right now and the last move is to just transfer that over to my other half and say "I love you, have a nice life" and go remove myself from the problem. I can't stand dragging them down until they hate me for being a weight around their neck.

It's this ongoing fight of willpower versus the uncaring world around me. Where "do you want to be my friend" is a point of ridicule rather than a request for help, and people only want friends around like themselves, without any issues.

And i'm slowly losing.

you can't make others respect you unless you have confidence in yourself.
if u think ur no good, then others will view you that way.

now, since you already know your personality problems, you should try change it slowly. it might take weeks, months, or even years, but keep trying and you'll get there. our personality are inherited from genetics, there's nothing much we could do about it, unless we fight against it.

i hope this helps. good luck on your life, and Happy Chinese New Year!

lol Angela, i guess a lot of us have the same problem. :tongue:
i was alone through middle school to high school. i was born shy, i mean really shy. I am 100% sure that i inherited this from my family, because my mom and grandpa and uncle have the same problem. well, upon realizing my defects, i tried hard to overcome it and open up to others. i admit this is hard, but i'm slowly making friends, and it feels great:biggrin:


P.S. Happy Chinese New Year!

The net has just been a stopgap measure for me. for the most part it feels distant and impersonal, but at the moment it's all i've got.

Part of the problem is I can't "make" anyone think or do or feel anything. It would be wrong if I could. Isn't a real friend supposed to like me as I am? I can deal with almost any problem in my own life that comes along. But the need to have other people around me throws up a massive list of variables that I have no control over. And it's a problem that nobody ever wants to help someone else with.

As for trying to change it, i'm going on 15 years, and nothing has changed.


Some possible solutions I flatly refuse, such as medication, if I can't be "myself" then i'm just faking being someone else so people will like me, they're not really liking "me".


The only serious thought i've had anymore has been to drop everything and everyone here and hop a boat to Europe.

That's the biggest problem. I know I can't run from it forever.

I'm in totally the wrong town and I didn't know it until I got here.

I go to events, but people just don't "connect" and the place is notorious for that.

I want to move to another place where I have some family, but my other half isn't very interested in that. Of course they say "Whatever you need to do" but to me it needs to be a partnership decision, and instead they just say "I can't tell you what to do, because if it doesn't work out you'll blame me".

Another problem is my very odd hobbies that tend to not be group activities, i've never managed to find much enjoyment in "common" hobbies. I've tried to get involved in some new ones, but they're things I found online that aren't local things.


I want conversation, real, not typed. Real voices. That can talk about intelligent subjects. That don't shy away from tough topics like politics or social problems.

I hate the USA (Even tho I was born here), with it's ongoing "Every person is an island" feelings. And the general tone of "If you can't handle your own problems, you're worthless".

It's young and liberal.

You can probably easily guess where. I didn't intend to live *here* instead nearby, but twice now i've had to move because the people locally i've relied on have let me down.

I can handle it, but it stretches my self-support strength very thin.

human beings need to interact and live with each other, because we are social animals. you can't deny the fact you want to be happily with someone, or else you wouldn't be in this forum. We have to be who we are, but in the same time, be someone that others will like too. yes, when you don't get along with someone, you could be meeting with the wrong people. however, you might still not get along with someone that are the right people. so, we just need to change our attitude a little, but not completely change our personalities. if we do that, the "wrong" people might become the "right" people.:tongue:

That was one of the most accurate and best statements which I have ever read. I totally agree with you, though it isn't just limited to America. Anywhere that society is against a person, will cause the person to have that horrible feeling of worthlessness. Anyways, welcome to SF, Vee.
