| I feel like the odd one out wherever I am and whoever I’m with, I think that’s kinda the point. |

| Ok, lets say it's all society's fault. Now what? You gonna stay depressed forever? that was a nasty thing to say. No, I don't think you've comprehended what I was saying correctly, it should not be taken literally. I was being deliberately facetious to make a point. I was taking his way of thinking... |

| Well for a start, what on earth were you doing in those 45 minutes of torture? What feedback were you giving him? If he's not being told you're uncomfortable he's not going to try anything else you might like. Culinary school?! He isn't your teacher with all the answers to your sexual pleasure, he's... |

| That you then proceed to judge his performance whilst admitting that you did absolutely nothing to communicate your displeasure, speaks of a tremendous degree of entitlement. I'm entitled? Because I found it an upsetting and traumatic experience? You sound like a Men's Rights Activist. Go to hell I... |

| I see nothing in your post about where you communicated what you like to him, as if this person who knows ****-all about you is supposed to magically know what presses your buttons or for that matter what doesn't.

| I can't claim to be great in most extended social situations, but when you know how to go about it these "fake" social interactions can be rewarding. I've worked in a similar situation to fast food workers so I have a great deal of sympathy for people in that position. As others have menti... |

| In my experience sex is crap and awkward if either you or the other person don't know what to expect out of it, or rather don't have realistic expectations. The worst that can happen if you tell them is they are no longer interested; though in reality this is unlikely. The best that can happen is th... |

You've been watching what they do, why don't you take tips from watching how they handle the banter?
Even if you can't always come up with something witty to say or do just make sure you don't look like you're taking it too seriously, so smile etc. |

| Easier in the sense that it's easier psychologicaly speaking to pretend to yourself that simply changing environment is what you need than having to face the fact that you may be going about things the wrong way. I've lived in a few quite different places now, and I took my problems with me. |

| Because you are lonely and depressed. No one says you have to be like any of them, you just need not to be excluded. You could take the easy option and run away and move somewhere else, though I suspect that won't solve your problem in itself. Where you are might be an extreme, but the rules of soci... |

| I used to go to a gym for years but my body would never respond to the exercise. I didn't expect to come out looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger but you'd think I would look more toned than I do. I would bet money on that being because you weren't doing it properly, it's not simple to do it right. T... |
