How do I deal with this sadness? I know it's not depression, because depression kicks in for no reason; i have a very strong reason.
I went through shit for 10 years, bullied and harassed by everyone, even my parents accused me of being a homosexual (I am straight actually, which is worse). Used to be a solid person with many friends, good reputation and well liked.
But when I moved back to state the social isolation by my abusive parents and then other bullying at school and in my family, just made me be a really really afraid person. I shut myself in my room and played games for a good 6-7 years.
Now I am socially stunted, I pretend I am calm and cool but inside my head is a mess. I don't know what to do in 90% of social interactions. Even if women show interest I have no idea what the fuck to do.
What's even worse is that I live with my parents (I am finishing my BS degree at another school because I failed for never going to class at my previous one). I just see people I used to know on facebook, they lived a life for those 10 years, they have cool instagram pics and its like they are alive. I feel like I am already dead =/.... I don't have a single person on my phone. The only call I get is from my sister who calls me when she has a bad day and she wants to belittle someone (me).
Obviously I stand up for myself now and the last few months I have become vocal about having a spine. But the past makes me sad and I just don't see my life getting better. With my finishing my BS degree in a year and 150k in loans (7% interest), I feel like I am done for this life =/. Getting older too so I don't have much time before I need to get married.
Any words of courage? advice? will take w/e I can get to go on forward.

>women show interest
That's a good start. Everything else is learnable by trial and error.
Some poor guys out there aren't even lucky enought that women would ever show interest in them.
So be glad and a little more thankful to the heavens.
