Nobody is interested in me!

Post Reply New Topic

If you think no one is interested in you, no one thinks that you are attractive and that anything we say otherwise, you are just going to beat down-- then why are you even posting? Obviously the members of this forum are trying to help and you are just pushing them all away. What is the incentive for us to try to prove you wrong when you obviously have made up your mind. I don't understand what it is that you want. I give up.

Your brain is getting fatigued because it's constantly trying to solve a problem and it's not achieving it's goal. This is when your thinking gets a bit off - hence the catastrophising. I wrote about this in another thread - 'self-diagnosed'. I would link it but I don't know how.
Edit: I just found out how.

I'm sure many people can relate to relationship frustrations, even NTs. I actually have 5 adult male cousins who are looking for girlfriends right now. Only one of them might be on the spectrum. They all have degrees, good jobs and some even bought their own houses. It's still quite a challenge, because they're introverted geeks who have trouble socializing. Actually my NT DH (also introverted geek) also ranted furiously when I first told him we could only be friends. He had been turned down by several girls before me and was saying unless he's the most undesirable person in the world, it's statistically impossible. You're by no means alone in that situation, but desperation usually doesn't help anything.

Relationship and marriage is just one path in life and people don't have to follow that path at all. Look at Temple Grandin, she didn't even try. There's nothing wrong with that. If you can have some "just friends" people you can still get plenty of social life. As others said maybe they can help you find someone, or help you notice opportunities. I never wanted marriage or motherhood, but just accepted whatever life gave me. As a result I never developed much career. If I never married I might have been working in a professional field. Life is unpredictable. When you choose (or got pushed into) one path, you miss the other possible paths. Everyone ponders about those and might regret sometimes. But it's best to just make the best out of situations and move on.

I'm not even sure I want to be in a relationship but it just hurts to know nobody wants me. Everyone just wants to be friends and I don't really do friends.

As I've often said, I want to be wanted - without actually being had. I just feel incredibly left out like life's against me.

I don't think you are inherently undesirable. Probably your feeling undesirable is making you look insecure and less attractive to some people. Many people are attracted to confident jerks than nice nerds. What I'm saying is that confidence plays a major role in the game.

Many posters have already said good things in this thread. I think it's a good idea to read them all again later when you are feeling less unhappy rather than just dismiss them.

Please don't accept just any woman that shows an interest. Some are there to get money and/or other things out of those men that are seeking a genuine relationship. I have seen/heard of some men tricked by those sorts.

Seems your mind is made up, but maybe someone else reading this is open to hearing feedback. Girls can pick up on how you perceive yourself. They're tuning in to all the signals you're giving off that you don't even realize you're sending. And if they're picking up on the same type of energy you're sending out here in these posts,
