If you had them you'd be upset about something else entirely right now and the memory of them would be no comfort. You're talking to us right now also

I’m 26 and stay home almost 24/7. I hate socialising with new people and I always carry a stun gun with me when I do leave the house. 🙃

It is very unjust and really disproves the common cope that "HS relationships are shallow anyways"

You had a gf? Damn bro you’re further ahead than I am 😅 Hey, though, listen, nothing kills your chances of getting a gf like wallowing in sadness and giving up (and thats not my advice its from my female friends) Get some normal female friends, don’t be weird around them, and try to join some sort of social group thats focused on a hobby or activity. Maybe you get a gf or maybe not, but you will for sure benefit from the social interaction and platonic friendships, IT WILL make you feel better

Why use human beings as benchmarks to consider yourself happy/healthy when that's perfectly possible already, even without making 'getting a gf' the boss level in a video game

Lol ik this sounds stupid, but have your friends hold you accountable and help if you struggle with this. I used to find it hard, but I opened up about it to a friend (she’s a woman which maybe helps) and we started hitting bars together and she would hype me up and help me figure out what to say when I found someone. And then I started texting her if I was by myself and saw someone cute, just to give myself extra pressure to approach them cause I know she would ask about it later

And I just met a girl earlier this week, just went up to her and told her that she’s pretty, we hit it off and now we’re going out this weekend. So, I think it just takes exposure and practice and over time it gets easier. I could never have just gone up to a woman in a grocery store a year ago

Also I get how frustrating it can be. I’m 21 and I’ve never been in a relationship. My best friend has a gf of over 7 years now

its not a boss level or anything, but for me it certainly feels like it, thats all. I haven’t had my first kiss yet either.
