    Past determining my future

    But isn’t that what people do when they want to see if they can meet someone who could be a potential partner? I go partly because I am often accused of just sitting at home. If I did just indeed sit at home, nothing would change. I’ve addressed potentially having body odors and bad breath by...

    Past determining my future

    I was considered “cute” but I was unpopular due to being in my older brother’s shadow. He always outshined me. I was also socially awkward so that didn’t help things. I used to look like a Beatle (Mostly due to my hair covering my forehead.) in those days. I now have a receding hairline and I...

    The vicious cycle of being socially isolated and hitting walls when I do socialize.

    Past determining my future

    If I could just finally break the cycle I am stuck in, I would be able to move on from my past. How it happened in the first place was being socially ostracized in high school while my older brother was constantly getting attention.

    How can I have a more positive year for 2026?

    I’ve been to some dance clubs. The only one that would play the music I like and have likeminded people would be Elysium in Austin. Unfortunately, I can’t always go to Austin due to finances and work schedule.

    Past determining my future

    Feeling extremely low again

    1) To a certain extent. 2) For Discord, no. I stopped using Wrong Planet back in 2021. 3) One person told me that I was somewhere along the lines of “concerning” or “worrying.” However, this person was also completely rude in general. He or she even got mad at me for saying I was sorry he or...

    Wrong Planet Site

    You are correct. That forum needed to disappear and Alex as well as Cornflake are despicable “moderators.”

    Feeling extremely low again

    My mother and father would get upset at me for being sad and would snarl (Screaming or shouting in an angry tone) “You don’t need a girlfriend!” to me. Both would also imply I didn’t have anything to offer in a relationship and that my stutter as well as my voice itself were automatic dealbreakers.

    How can I have a more positive year for 2026?

    I know I have to get out of the house and attempt to engage with people. I have been doing that; I just don’t make new friends easily. It discourages me and that’s largely why I fear I’ll never have a partner.

    Feeling extremely low again

    Why does it seem like I am being told it’s a horrible thing that I want a better life and to have a girlfriend?

    Feeling extremely low again

    I just really wish I could say I overcame being socially isolated and finally got a partner. I don’t see anything wrong with that at all.

    Tough in what way? What should I do when I get “flashbacks” about disappointing interactions?
