...See more Hi everyone, I (24M) has been feeling lonely recently and started wanting a relationship. Usually I don't turn to apps for advice but my family and friends haven't been the best support recently. I've been put off dating and finding love since a rough breakup in high-school. Now, whenever I go out, I see couples that are peers and can't help but want what they have. To experience that feeling again. I'm an introvert, A nerd, I don't like clubbing. From what I heard, that makes me boring? I have a hard time going up to talk to girls. I guess I just lack the courage. I'm not that playboy type to be able to chat to any girl I see. I've tried dating apps as an alternative but I just get ghosted or unmatched which has taken a toll on my self-esteem. I'm slowly gyming and working on myself but I can't help but fall into a slump thinking that I'm not good enough, that I'm ugly or maybe its too late and that there's no one out there for me. I don't know what to do anymore. I want love yet somedays I'm fine after seeing all these cheating stories. I'm afraid that I'll never find someone. That I'll succumb to loneliness and become numb. I just want to find love, to be loved but I'm just feel I'm unworthy, unworthy, maybe cursed? Its tough out here.

...See more Hey everyone, I (24M) gave been wanting a relationship for a recently. Usually I don't turn to apps for my troubles but my family and friends haven't been the best support lately. To start I've had a rough breakup in high-school. I've never had a relationship since because I was put off. I focused on my studies and career. Nowadays when I go out, I'm obviously swamped with many couples around, especially in the same peer group. I started to feel lonely, wondering what it would be like and have a hint of jealousy. I'm an introvert, I don't like clubs and going home at 3am. My family and friends advice does anything but help me. I have a hard time talking to girls. I just can't find the courage. I'mnot the type of guy that can go approach any chick he sees. My opinion is tat if you're not slim, handsome or rich you can't get a girlfriend. There's also so much cheating and false accusations being thrown around that I'm actually scared and sometimes ok with being single. I've tried dating apps and constantly get ghosted or unmatched. This has taken a toll on my self-esteem and self image which has me feeling down. I'm slowly working out to lose weight and I try to keep myself busy. However no matter what I do I keep falling into a slump thinking that I'm not good enough, that I'm too ugly or that there's no one out there for me. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm afraid that eventually I'll become so numb that I wouldn't be interested in finding a lover. I just want to be loved but I'm feeling unworthy, I feel ugly and undeserving. Maybe I'm just cursed.
