My life sucks. All I do is go to university (commute), come home and study. I have no local friends, no girlfriend and I'm not even in a place where I could sustain such a relationship. I was a shut-in for all of my formative years so I wouldn't even know how to go about starting to get a life. I hate leaving home and feel so anxious and alone when I do but I also hate being home, because it feels like a prison and a constant reminder of what a loser I am. Help me /adv/. I'm lost.
I think we've all been there. First, be grateful. Be grateful of everything that you have, not many have the chance to study. It sounds stupid, but love and know yourself. Search for new hobbies and activities you might like. Try to choose those with social interaction and just live life. It might be difficult at the beginning, but people are usually not as crappy as we think they are. Try to make friends in uni, smile and strike up a casual conversation.
Fuck girls!!!

Hey thanks for taking the time to respond. I agree that it's good to be thankful and I'd like to think I am. It just sucks when Friday night comes around and there is nobody to go hang with. I talk to people at my university and have some positive interactions but truthfully I feel like it would be a faux pas to try to make friends with people who are likely 10 years younger than I am. Also I don't really know how to make friends. Every friend I've ever had we just kinda fell into a relationship because we went to school together or played some online game. I also seem to creep out or otherwise make feel uncomfortable every girl I take an interest in. It just seems like I'm so far behind the curve and I don't even know how to begin catching up.

Well if you feel uncomfortable about befriending people at your uni follow my advice on searching on new hobbies and stuff. Take a off uni class on something you've always been interested, the trick is to change your social environment.
Everyone has their own ways to make friends, just be yourself! Try to be genuinely interested in other people's lives, be a nice guy!
Has a girl told you that? Maybe you are just overthinking the situation. Life is about being casual, relax.
We only live once, most of what we do doesn't even matter to the universe, but it matters greatly to us. So live life doing what you want, you only get one shot. When you start to live without caring about what others might think you'll be happy.

So go out in thunderstorms until it happens. Surely you'll never be struck by lightning if you stay inside.
