Girlfriendzoned?
Not heard that one before!
But yes, makes sense: a lot of guys struggle with the idea that a girl enjoying their company isn’t a romantic thing... although I thought that got less of a problem as we get older?

Or do I just think that because I’m married and thus not on the lookout in that regard?

Because i made that word haha, i hate the term friendzone..
It may be, also this is just my theory but i am thinking that people who already had a lot of friends growing up don't see it as much important. They already got over that period of social development and want to get married and have children now. Since our social development is different, (at least mine is) i just started to make friends and people who don't care about their friends as much sadden me..

^ Yeah, my wife had loads of friends when we first met, but has edited most of them out over the last decade.
I found I could make friends in my twenties: but most of them were bad for me :oops:
So they’re no longer part of my life... don’t really do friends now, I have my wife, customers, colleagues at the charity shop I volunteer in: along with here that seems to be enough. Turns out I’m much less social than I thought I was when I was lonely in my teens :lol:

I’ve never liked “friendzoned” either: nasty whiney term only used by silly boys who can only think about women with their willies. :P

I'm not overly social either but i care about my friends and would like to meet with people from time to time. I am also scared to be alone when i grow old since where i live social security kind of doesn't exist..

Achievements in life are over rated.
Most thing in life are pointless.
You are not missing out on anything.
You are not wasting your 'life'
There is nothing to waste
Life is completely meaningless

Now that may depress some of you
It doesn't have to
Now you are truly free
Do not be a slave
Be Free...

Yeah: that’s a big one. I’m very lucky to live in a country where there is a basic state pension for all citizens...

Nice one: but are we sure it isn’t nihilistic optimism? :wink:

Department of Rehab orientation today. Nervous, intimidated. 2008 counselor rude, condescending, incompetent, lazy b***h. The next one could be worse. But at least she didn't shoot me with a gun. Idiots get away with so much and I get away with nothing s**t. Sometimes I get wrongly accused and imprisoned s**t.

Itchy vagina rash

Scratching in public

Worried about $$$

Overreaction

Adrenal fatigue

I have zero "rights"

:mrgreen:

I’m meant to be working this afternoon.
But it’s raining heavily :roll:
Messaged my customer to see what it’s like her end of the hill: not optimistic though... :(

Still going to change into my work gear just in case :)

Nothing will change the fact that people disrespect you and do not want to be friends with you. A diagnosis will not change the constant social rejection, disrespect, belittling, condescending and negative feedback from social interactions that create social anxiety. Therapy does not help either because it will not make people accept or like you.

I just had what may have been a muscle twitch/tremor related thing or could have been some sort of seizure a little while ago. I feel fine now, but my arms and upper body were jerking uncontrollably. It only lasted a few seconds and I was fully conscious and aware the whole time. It may be related to standing up too quickly, I was feeling dizzy from that and it started as I was moving to grab the edge of the counter to steady myself. I also had a migraine earlier today, don't know if that may have contributed. My mom's staying home from work tomorrow to keep an eye on me in case this wasn't just a one-time thing.

True.

It's like a Queen of Hearts game that barely makes sense esp as the rules n parameters keep changing from moment to moment.
There are also too many vicious immoral unethical ppl out there.


Keeping to the patronizingly termed 'special interests' and sticking to what we were born for is the cure. Cure for the sadness not the social stuff .
