Is it possible for ugly people to not be depressed? I'm 20 and my life looks like a hard, miserable, lonely thing right now.

What do?

Hi guys
Need your help
I've met some asian balinese girl in the day spa. She is cute and so kind. Let's just say, she is like Fluttershy from MLP)))
She is asking me if we could hang out and always asking me about gf. She also keep laughing when I tell her some not so funny jokes. She cares about my time. I'm single now.
What do you suggest? This is just another friendzone attempt? Or it is worth to try?
Thanks

I'll just get right to it.

My girlfriend and I broke up a year ago.
Since then, the last friend I still had living in my state (Jersey) moved down south almost three months ago. He also happened to be my best friend and drinking buddy. I was already a little banged up before he left, but now?.
All the others before him had steadily been moving to other states every couple of weeks or months for the last few years. North Carolina, Texas, and Arizona are the usual suspects.

I have very little family, and the little I do have is all way out of my age bracket (I'm 27. The next closest to me in age is my youngest uncle at 41) and all but my mother are what I could consider "Toxic" family that do more harm to me emotionally and mentally than anything else, and my Mother is an emotionally fragile woman in her own right and...I don't think I have it in me to burden her with my own problems while she herself has so many.

All I have left are some internet friends (Although I have visited some of them in the past, so I suppose distant friends would be more appropriate) that I've made over the years when I played World of Warcraft, but even then I don't get *that* in touch with most of them.

This lack of both physical and emotional intimacy from a loving woman, the lack of friendship and brotherhood from other men, and a dysfunctional and toxic family environment is causing me a great deal of negative emotions.
When I'm not feeling anxious, I feel angry. When I'm not feeling angry, I feel depressed. When I get depressed, I just sit in my room, alone, in the dark and drink cheap wine and spirits in an attempt to feel something and, while I would never admit this aloud, cry. No matter what, I always feel one emotion in conjunction with everything else. Loneliness.
I must contemplate my own death at least three times a day now.

I don't know what to do, I don't have anyone to talk. I put on a brave face, but internally I think I might be a mess.
Please help.

Hey guys, I am trying to understand myself/get through this stupid Dilemma. Life's been good got my girlfriend and business and finishing school. Hoping to make a killing this year. I was living with my old childhood friend (until next year when I buy a house). I've known him for years since middle school. He comes from a religious family and he strayed away from it (i am agnostic but I still respect his moms community). the guy got fired from his job for contacting a little girl (she contacted him), got herpes from a girl we all told him had something and then now is being laid off of his other job. He told me he got mad at his dog and kicked his dog because it was barking and he had a bad day(its a small dog). His mom has cried to me and my guest a couple of times about why hes like this...I tried to talk to him and we keep arguing and he wants me to stop butting into his life. I came home and him and his friends are making "candies" for a big rave and keep playing edm music (i like electronic music too), to protest I am playing Metallica, and hardcore rock. But I dont know what to do with the guy..I feel so bad for his mom and hes my friend for the most part, but sometimes I'd rather wish he just OD'ed. :/ Because hes purposely spreading herpes now and just becoming a shit person. I am going to move out a year from now like I mentioned before.

My parents (both catholic) are convinced that they are being attacked by demons. They say that the closer that our family gets to God, the worse we are tempted by demons. This was after two of my brothers had a fight and then my father had a fight with my brother. The reason about the "closer to god remark was because my father recently became a minister.

My question is: How do I let them know I don't share their religious beliefs, when they are going to view my comments as a direct attack from the devil himself?

I've pretended to share their belief all my life for fear rejection. When I was 8 years old, after taking catechism and questioning the "teachers" but only receiving empty answers and reading all the contradictions in the bible, I decided that it was all bullshit. I still wondered about why the world existed (this was before the widespread of the internet) so I began to think about where everything came from, drilling down to the source of it all. Not long into the thought experiment I began to realize that it didn't make sense. No way that all the matter/energy was always there. The universe is in movement so it must have started somethere. After pondering on that idea for a while, I thought that the most logical begining was nothing. That's a perfectly rational thought "there was nothing and nothing created it". "But if that's the begining, how did this universe become what it is?" I though. At that moment I remembered something I was taught in math class: that math was used to model real world phenomena. So I applied my idea to the notion that the number 0 has an infinite number of equations that are equal to it. That's it that's why we exist. Our reality is just another side of the same coin (nothing), it all equals 0 if you sum it up. This would mean that we're part of a multiverse (an infinite number of equations with an infinite number of realities). Now, you'll notice: this is my belief and it doesn't exclude the existence of a deity.

A year ago; I was in the biggest rut of my life. The number of friends I had dwindled, I hadn't worked in quite some time therefor no money, my last relationship had been 3 years prior and I was completely drowning in myself. I made a post about it here back then and received some good advice on steps to take to bettering who I am and fixing myself more or less.

Last summer however, my father passed away and every single thing I'd learned from the old thread I made almost completely dissolved. I still do some things to stay active and build who I am, but I feel more alone than I ever have and feel I'm systematically falling apart. I'm about 2 months away from being able to submit a novel I'd been working on all this time, but I'm in such shambles I just worry about not having much left mentally or emotionally by the time I get there.

I don't even know what I'm asking for now exactly, so sorry if my point isn't exactly coherent. But if any words or directions can be provided, I'd be more than appreciative. Thank you for reading.

What's up guys.
I'm 21 years old, never been in a relationship before, nor have I even hugged a girl before lol. I don't see it as a bad thing because I don't like wasting my time in relationships. I always see couples break up and I see them going through a really rough time and I don't want that to be me so I choose to not be in a relationship. I met this girl and recently, decided to ask her out and I got friend zoned. We have so much in common, we really do enjoy each others company and it seems we never stop talking to each other. I met her six months ago and ever since then we literally talked everyday. Whether its on Skype or texting its been everyday.So it sucks I got friend-zoned, because I feel like I lost something in my life in a way. She told me she's too hurt from her previous relationship and she doesn't want to get hurt again. Keep in mind, her previous relationship was a year ago... My friend suggested I cut her off and just deal with being in a shitty mood for the next couple of weeks. My question to you is should I stop talking to her? And if one were to ever get friend-zoned is it a possibility to continue being friends or no matter what one must end the friendship? I'm quite confused, its really embarrassing because all my friends date all the time and they seem like they are having a good time and then there's me.

Thanks a lot for the advice

Anon

Seriously. Is college worth the effort? This isn't some generic rant about how much I hate school.

What are the other practical options kids have these days?

When I remember my childhood, I sometimes resent my parents for either not pushing me hard enough or not giving me enough guidance in academics, sports, or other extracurricular activities. Now that I'm a young adult, I don't know I should blame them for neglecting me or if I only have myself to blame for not being able to play sports, play a musical instrument, or get into a good college. I do regret being so lazy and easily discouraged in middle school and high school but I didn't know any better.
