What is worse according to you; having no partner or having no friends. To be precise: would you prefer having lots of friends but no partner, or having a partner but no friends?

I usually can't take small steps when trying to overcome a particular problem or achieve a goal. It's either everything or nothing for me and most of the time it's "nothing". I'm so paralyzed by my fear of failure that I end up doing absolutely nothing. I can't seem to create a performance...

I'm almost 32 (in a few months), and as some of you know; I have never experienced love or sex. I just wonder if it really matters to experience this at the age of 35 and beyond? What's the point of having sex when you have almost lost your sex drive anyway? I have wasted my young adulthood...

I was never breast fed. How about you? I found an article confirming my worst nightmare: "Breastfeeding reduces anxiety in children It is common knowledge that the breast is best for infant’s health, cognitive, and physical development. Breastfeeding is also better for the environment. A new...

I don't understand: why should men always be "confident"or strong in order to be considered attractive. Is it ok for girls not to be confident? Why this sexism??? Personally, I'm not interested in girls who expect me to always be confident, strong, outgoing etc.. or unpredictable, exciting...

Sometimes I think that anxiety and/or depression is mainly caused by a lack of close friends and social contact. Does anyone agree?

OK, I have never shared this with anyone else. My parents/family suggested to "hook me up" with a girl I have known almost all my life. Actually, I don't know her well at all, but once we attended the same school. I find her very attractive and sweet. I'm about one year older than she is. I...

What do you think of Abraham Lincoln's (the 13th president of the US) quote: "I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were equally distributed to the whole human family, there would not be one cheerful face on the earth. Whether I shall ever be better I can not tell; I awfully...

Should I feel ashamed of this? I truly don't care much about the opposite sex (despite what I might have said on this forum a few times), but I'm certainly not gay.. Love and sex is something shared between two people, which is the reason why it's not my cup of tea. I can't and don't want to...

Just wondering, how did people on here (who have anxiety issues) meet their current partner? Or is this too personal of a question?

I was on a bus today and none of the loud people chose to sit beside me; they simply walked past me and chose to sit elsewhere (this happens often to me). But a few minutes later some introverted girl immediately sat next to me ( :lol: ), while ignoring the loud ones. I wonder why extroverts...

I really can't work or perform in the presence of other people. I MUST find a job that suits extremely shy and introvert people, like myself, otherwise my life will be miserable. I'm also shy and have anxiety in other social situations (talking to people I know etc.), but not as much. I can...

I'd really like to know whether our female members - who are married or have a relationship - would have been in this position if they had been male. I mean as we all know men are supposed to approach women... Thanks in advance 8)

Given that I hate bars and clubs and don't drink, how and where could I meet people.. Any suggestions?

I think I'm a misanthrope. I distrust people and humanity as a whole. I believe in the evilness of human beings. I have a massive shield that keeps people at a distance. But I also feel guilty because of this. I'm convinced that I'm a much "better" person than most people. Does this sound...

Weird, I'm scared of noise. When reading a book in my room for example, I often hear my neighbour on the ground flour cough very loudly; it's as if he's screaming or something, he makes very odd and really loud noises. I can't concentrate, and it truly frightens me, lol. Does anybody else have...
