How do I accept that a very intelligent and attractive girl wants to be with me?
>She has been telling me that she does for months before we got together

On the other hand
>A girl never wanted me
>I am unattractive
>There isn't much to me

I don't want you to tell me that she doesn't truly want me I want to know how to stop questioning that she does and accept it.

I'm losing friends. One by one, group by group, circle by circle I'm losing every single friend I've had and I'm not making any new ones, only acquaintances.
And the thing is, I'm losing them by slowly removing them out of my life. People who can't and won't try to be your friends, people with a toxic behaviour and liars are NOT friends, at least I don't consider them to be.
Normally that would be OK with me because I'm more depressed being with them than without, but I also can't make new friends. I just see how everyone is bullshitting around and I don't like how the whole social dynamic works.
Is there something intrinsically wrong with me for not actively trying to be a people pleaser so that others would like me? What's wrong for not actively trying to be social when that ain't me?

OP here, let's talk man. How did you get me into this situation? Are you trying/doing anything to get out of thus vicious circle?
For me it's always find new friends > feel good > realise all the drama > try not to get in > ignore drama > get sucked in either way > see all the pretence and lies and bullshit > get fed up with it > leave group

I'm honestly pretty tired of this "being social" crap. Waste of time and nerve.

>>17884184
This is called getting older. People feed you that you need 1000 friends and to never be alone but it's all bullshit. When you get older you stop caring about people who don't really care about you. Just keep the true friends for as long as possible and realise that friends move on with their lives and may not be permanent.

I would only be worried if you end up completely alone and sad.

This doesn't deserve its own thread but whatever, I'm moving countries to start university for the first time, I'm 20 and I'm moving inter-Europe. I have a mild case of anxiety, talking and being around people that I don't know. Being very self-conscious about being skinny and not attractive doesn't help either.

I've got 2 months left before I move. I will also work somewhere, hopefully some solo task. My anxiety is getting worse the closer the time to move is.

Would it be wise to look into anti-depressants/anxiety meds? Would the pills ultimately fuck me up, strip me of any emotion and turn me into a robot? So has my friend who's taken them described it.

No, don't take that shit.

Fuck pharmaceuticals.

Why don't you actually fucking work on it yourself instead of popping some pills(tm)
>>
Anxiety has great outcomes without meds because anxiety meds are not effective long-term and become an unsustainable crutch. So do seek help, but since you yourself described your case as "mild" you would be fine avoiding meds.

That said, they aren't evil and some people NEED them. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't had/hasn't seen severe mental illness. They won't turn you into a robot. Everyone reacts differently. I feel a little robotic on SSRI's- they cause a blunt affect in me. So I simply told my shrink that and we looked into other drug classes. People who stay on meds they don't like without looking at all their options, while whining about their meds, are kinda stupid.

That said, no pill is perfect, and none are 100% safe, and since your condition doesn't demand them...

Look into therapy. Anxiety is generally a thearpy-type issue anyway, data supports this.
>>
NO NO NO NO NO

Exercise, change your diet, and go see a counselor if you need that after the last two don't work out enough. There is a reason why multiple European countries have legislation to ban them, because they're psuedoscientific at best and directly harmful at worst.

I agree with you, but if she gave OP her number, she must've expected something.

But club girls are flaky and I still think you're right.
>>
>>17884135

Just move on, there is infinite possibilities why she is no longer interested but I'd say it's a bullet dodged that a one night stand isn't responding to you. I know it's hypocritical as you are the other half in the equation but someone like that isn't really relationship material in my opinion Just think of how many other times she might have done the same with other guys.

But if I had to put my money on the reason it would be that she regretted her drunk actions and just isn't interested, or is already talking to a guy and just had a one night stand in between.

I probably got a pretty wrong and fucked-up upbringing when it comes to what it means to be a man.

There have been many attempts to break down "what a man is", and it's always led nowhere. Why do you even care?

Learn to do whatever you feel like doing and be free to think for yourself. Maybe that's what some would call a man, but that's just being an individual.

i dont know if you are "meant" to learn anything. i was never really taught anything from my father and im doing pretty good. everytime i fuck up i make sure i learn from my mistake. most guys think im a cool, nice guy and women find me adorable (in the good way that they will date and fuck me).

I want to quit consuming weed forever

I'm moving in with my gf, who is a hyper Christian doctor plus I'm planning on getting married and having kids soon. Also I'm really old for this shit, I'm 28.

I still love weed and crave it every time I smell it or someone mentions it.

Any advice on how I get it out of my system and end all cravings?

I just prioritize. I don't smoke weed during the semester and I try not to veg out too much if I do. In your case just stop and maybe smoke as a special occasion with your wife and fuck. Like on Christmas or your birthday, you know. Just buy a gram. Think about being more motivated and less fat and you won't want as much weed.
>>
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. My career is ready to go, all I gotta do is buckle the fuck up. I don't even have to quit, I just need to slow down.

But shit man, every time I go sober for the whole day, it reminds me how much of an irritable asshole I can be. Chemically induced apathy can be a very good thing for some people, even if it makes us lazy and unmotivated.
>>
I generally only smoke late at night before bed or special events. Im finishing a CS degree in May and weed has never stopped me and I don't plan on stopping it.

My buddy drinks a lot, one day I watched him drink 6 12% beers in a sitting. The guy works for some of the largest financial banks in the world and always does his shit. When he doesn't have things to do he's another person.

Never thought id suspect myself one day but Im starting to realize that I deviate from the norm quite a bit.

I don't enjoy talking to any 3dpd because I don't believe theyre genuine, as a result Im lonely and very miserable by myself all the time just wishing that an anime-esque group of friends could really exist (like the steins gate Lab memebers)

Don't know what else to say really - I hate reality because anime has shown me what could be possible - except its not, and its fiction

What should I do?

Wanna tell me wtf 3dpd means in the first place?
>>
>>17884130
Nvm. Found out. Well, first line of defense would be realizing the so called perfect world anima is making you envision doesnt exist. People are pieces of shit. Everyone in anima is a cool interesting friend who would give his life for you just about 5 mins after meeting you. Truth is, such people DO exist, but are a very rare find. Think 1 in 1000. Maybe I'm exaggerating but idgaf it's how I feel. You would need to work very hard for such a friendship.

The second line of defense is, if you can't accept that the majority of people are self-centered, uncaring normie pieces of shit focused only on your looks, you delve into even bigger depression, and try and ask your doc for anti-depressants.

Also stop watching anima, it's a fake world created by the authors that pulls you into their show making you live in the non existent perfect fabricated world, it DOESNT EXIST, thats perfectionism and will continuing watching perfect things that dont exist will only make you feel worse about your imperfect life. QUIT NOW

3D Pig Disgusting, a way to refer to women/real people as less than something like 2D characters.

>>17884099
I can relate to your situation to some extent. Try not to focus on them being "3DPD", but instead on personality. If you act a certain way and end up with a group of friends, nice. Otherwise, guess you just couldn't find anyone worth your time.

I went from regularly boning pic related in highschool to talking to a 44 year old woman and a 28 year old man that I thought to be a 21 year old girl.

I'm 20 now, and the 44 year old is the closest I could say I've come to romantic contact since leaving high school. That is, she likes me. I don't like her, I tolerate her out of guilt. I always liked writing and met her through a roleplaying community.

I can't keep wasting my young adulthood like this, it's driving me to suicidal thoughts. But I think it's worth noting what changed between highschool and now and what you guys think I can do to get out of this rut.

>Quick tl;dr for my question
I want to get to a place where I can have a chance at regaining a normal, active social life.

>Highschool was full of dancers, musical actresses and artists in general. There were 2-3 girls for every boy. One of said 3 was always AT LEAST a low 7. I talked to lots
Now I talk to just the two "women" listed above, the 28 year old I've cut contact with after his whole "Be a girl for you" began striking me as exactly what it was. Degenerate
>I used to do a fighting sport
I was never ripped in the /fit/ sense but I was in good shape. Now I'm fat and I don't do sport. It's not like I was meeting women there but I have to imagine better shape and doing a sport like that was good for my standing
>Used to have a full head of hair
I don't now. It sucks. Thankfully due to my ethnicity and decent, for 20 years old, beard I don't look too bad. I'd love a visible hairline though.
>Used to have a lot less time to play vidya
From 18-20 I've been on and off addicted to vidya and mainly MMOs. I've thankfully cut out MMOs and feel I have a far healthier relationship with games now.
>Used to have a lot of friends
I had maybe 100 people I could actively talk to, 40-50 who would invite me to a party they were having and 15-25 who would try their best to get me invited to a party I wasn't invited to. Now I only have 10.

Help.

Yeah, it turns out that literally nothing that happens in High School matters. Welcome to the churn, kiddo.
>>
>>17884079

Ditch the online relationships, just cut all contact, they seem to be lowering your confidence and ego rather than boosting it. Try to get in shape, eat better and exercise, maybe take up lifting (look into starting strength program), start socialising more, reach out to people you've lost contact with and see what they are up to, if you drifted apart without any bad blood most of them will respond kindly, I mean these were you friends right. You're very young so improving your self image and confidence, getting out more and socialising will go a long way to improving your outlook on life.

Are you going to college or do you have a job or... what do you do all day?

Go to /fit/, read the sticky, get a gym membership and start getting back into shape. Find some active hobbies that get you out of the house.

probably because you have never interacted properly with one and therefore they are alien to you when they are actually just people.

how should we know? your mom could be a crack whore single mom or a golddigging russian mail orderd bride or a christian career woman or a blak sahm. you think all those people would be happy with one and the same thing?

the only thing all those moms would probably value is you soendong quality time with them. so pick up a voucher to do soemthing TOGETHER

Obviously you don't know my Mom specifically, but throwing out any idea based on what you know about moms w ould be helpful.

Thanks.
>>
>>17884068
well, that is my best idea i have about moms in general. just the fact that you've but in the effort to think about what would make her happy will make her happy the most.
maybe there's something she really likes to eat and you could get a high end product off? chocolate? cheese? tea?

maybe there's something specific she loves but thinks it's tol expensive to buy for herself on a daily basis? for example: i know my sister loves white truffles and lobster, but she wouldn't just buy that for herself, so it makes a nice present. even if it's weird to gift a lobster. she loves it.

or go for dinner in her fav restaurant?

or, gift her something relaxing like a voucher for a professional massage or something? a pedicure?

maybe she would enjoy something diy. get a bottle of red wine and mix a spice mix for mulled wine and give her that

I love my girlfriend, but the problem is that we have totally different lifestyles. I'm really active and like sports, culture and whatever else you can think of. My girlfriend, however, prefers to just lie around and do nothing in her freetime. I'm also very structured and organized and she's much more relaxed and disorganized. When it comes to sex, I'm pretty much open for everything and horny all the time, but she's rarely in the mood and doesn't like extraordinary things.

We're both teachers, but in our freetime, we're pretty much opposites. I try to just do nothing her, but two days or more without doing anything is too much for me. I also tried haveing her make suggestions for hobbies and I'm open for everything and she makes suggestions and seems interested, but then she's not motivated and organized enough to actually do something. I don't know what else I could do.

>>17884206

This. Some people just have different interest/energy levels, but depression can make someone like this as well.

I like hobbies more than my bf, who is happy with his one hobby- games. But in terms of keeping up with hobbies, wanting sex, being disorganized....I feel that feel. As in, the feel of clinical depression.

Go. Be polite and gentlemanly, but cool. End with "This has been pleasant and I am glad to have met you. But I don't think there's anything to build on here, so I wish you well and hope you find what you're looking for with someone else."

It's the basic courtesy you owe anyone.
>>
>>17883951
Bite the bullet, meet her once.

Maybe do it at yours or her house so you don't have to be seen in public with her. Get drunk. Make sure she gets drunk. Rest of the night will work itself out.
