Its been a long time since i visited this site, however, i just don't know where i stand still in the whole life thing

i feel like i am trapped in this whole situation, where i don't have any interests or hobbies, and therefore i won't meet anybody (dating) I am in major conflict with myself, because part of me wants to try and get into the whole situation, and most of me doesn't want to, because of bad luck and the awkwardness i feel whenever i try and leave my shell

getting onto the subject of dating, if i have the same luck with women as i do with my vehicle working, i am pretty much out of luck. It seems pretty hopeless for me at this point i just don't know what to think or feel anymore

Lifesnotfair,
I am sorry you are hurting and I am glad that you are here. You sound like you are describing many of my feelings when I get into a state of what I call "overwhelm". At that point it feels like I am at the bottom of a swimming pool full of complex, muti-step problems and don't know where to start. I've gotten there so often that, last time I ordered checks for my bank account, I took advantage of the option to have a 'personal motto or message' printed on them and I chose "one thing at a time....." to help me to stop looking at life as a giant mess and start looking at smaller details, often one at a time. It literally takes too much effort for me to feel bad about everything at once and that drains me of all motivationa and hope. Sometimes I do better when I tell myself "yes I will turn my attention to those other things after I take this or that first." Hang in there - after all the times I have given up hope - I have learned that hope persists even when I am not acknowledging it is there, even when I can't feel it. It's still there, waiting for you. I am in your corner - rooting for you.
