I've concluded that I cannot form intimate bonds with people. For example, none of my friends are really good friends with whom I share my ideas, feelings, etc.—and vice-versa. This stems, I think, from an extreme self-consciousness wherein I feel like no one wants to hear my problems, beliefs, etc. And because there is no exchange of intimate sharing, bonds do not form.

How can I get over this? Opening up to friends is daunting to me, but I have no one to talk to, to tell them how I feel—except, of course, the internet in this case. Has anyone gone through anything similar?

I think this is part of why I'm a virgin at 22 years old—I'm not a total shitbag, or super ugly, or super socially awkward... but I am incapable of making deep friendships and incapable talking to women whom I don't know.

I am introverted as well and feel as though I do not have anything relevant to share with other people. I am in a relationship, but feel shadowed by my BF and his friends despite the many talents and experiences I have to share. I feel like I will never be as good as anyone else around me, so I have given up on my hobbies (I have been a dancer and musician for decades, and used to be a damn good PC gamer before filthy casuals took the fun out of it).
I came to 4chan tonight because I also cannot connect with people and have been severely depressed for years. I came here hoping to find an overdose cocktail that isn't impossible to obtain.

There are guys out there who fuck women whose names they barely know. This isn't the reason you're a virgin.

I've had a few times when it was likely that I could have sex, but turned it down cuz of various fears—of judgement from peers, the person, and in general. What do you suggest?

Not OP but I have all the same symptoms (even managed to hold onto my virginity at 26yo, lucky me!). Is it shizotypal if you still crave a proper relationship?
