Introduction
I'm new here. I'm male, 26 years old, going on 27. I have no friends (by choice), and I've never had a girlfriend (not by choice). I'm love-shy, INTj (analyst) on the socionics tests, and have what is most likely avoidant personality disorder. I've been dealing with severe depression my whole life and probably suffer from PTSD, but people in my family all have mental problems and just say, "Suck it up. You're fine. Don't be such a drama queen. Etc.". All in all, I think I've done very well for myself. I enjoy life, even though I dislike most everything in it, lol.
I like movies, manga, anime, and video games. I'd love to meet someone, but I won't hold my breath. I'm a very peculiar guy. I'm sarcastic and cynical, sometimes ultra serious, other times extraordinarily silly/goofy. I'm honest to a fault, and I almost always say what's on my mind (I'm intelligent enough to keep my mouth shut when it counts though). My personality is very random. I'll take a conversation in any and every direction then run on topics that are completely off topic before changing the subject entirely. I'm a big fan of random movie quotes, references to main stream life and niche circles, and terribad puns and word play. I can appear very cold and unfeeling at times, due to my cynicism and my views of random hot button topics (which are only hot buttons for me, lol), but I do care beneath my shell.
Things I don't like are drinking, people who drink, partying, bars, people who use drugs, clubs, and dancing. I love to make observations, and I have a keen eyes for pointing out things of interest (inside jokes, topics of significance or relevance, social commentary on a situation, etc). Complaining implies I have some form of emotional opinion regarding the observation. I seldom do. I simply find the observation, "of mild amusement".
Like I said before, I'd like to finally get a girlfriend while I'm still somewhat attractive, but when you take away all the mainstream places women go that I won't go (a party, clubs, bars, hanging out with friends), there are very few places to look. I've spent the last decade trying online, and it has been a terrible and costly experience. Ironically, I'm online still looking because of the few places I thought to look, I could never aproach a girl in those situations (library, mall, shopping, walking outside, etc).
Yeah, so, that's me. I'm confident in everything I do, minus anything to do with women, lol. Go me: FTL!

This sounds frighteningly like one of my family members.
For years I thought he was normal because he kept saying that there "wasn't anything wrong" with him.
Some people find him exhausting and irritating, but I think he's hilarious.
He cares about people in a practical way.

i really do not know how guys find girlfriends - which is supposed to be fairly easy - but you sound like someone who is a candidate for many women out there. you are right, online dating is a scam

i also do not drink/do drugs/or smoke. addictions are for loser. like you i "suck it up" and work full time, pay rent, health insurance, take care of my family, vote, eat healthy and exercise, and mentor the children in my relative's family. I find that I have a lot to teach the teenagers in my family who look up to me as a brutally honest, fun - i love snowball fights, water wars, basketball, baseball, radio control trucks, video games, etc. - and they DO learn self care skills from me - like cooking, laundry, surviving high school, managing difficult parents, etc. still like you i never had a girlfriend and might not ever have. why? because it is so difficult for someone with a cold and silly asperger's face to find one.
