Hi I'm new here. I'm a 19 year old male sophomore at a 2 year college in Springfield MA. I'm majoring in "multimedia", which I don't really like. Hopefully I'll attend the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut in the fall and switch my major to Industrial design which I think I'm better suited to.
I've always been shy but all throughout my compulsory education (luckily in the same school system, k-12), I at least had one or two good friends and then some "school friends" on top of that. Sure I was the quiet one of the bunch, but at least I was social to an extent. I guess looking back, the last half of my senior year of high school was kind of a prologue to my college thus far- in that it was the start of more isolation. And as many of you know, once you're out of the loop, for shy people, it can be nigh impossible to get back in.
The second half of my senior year, my only real friend I still had at the time- I didn't have any more classes with. So I really lost touch with him. I should really call him, but I'm lousy at the phone. And the year and a half since, I've just been monotonously going through life lonelier than I've ever been. I'm not good at making friends. I was ok at it when I was little, but those kids I grew up with all went their separate ways at graduation. That one last friend was probably a result of me riding the coat tails of my early, early success from a time when I was a happy little boy who could make friends. Now I'm just in limbo.
And on top of this, I have never had a girlfriend, and have a hard time talking to girls- which is really something that brings me down. I don't think I look all that bad, I'm even relatively handsome, but I guess it just doesn't figure in for me. The whole sex thing is important, and yes, I am a virgin, but what I really long for is a soul mate.
Basically, I need friends and romance, then my life would be the cat's whiskers. I have neither though- nothing new to you folks. :roll:
Anyways, there's my life story. I'm happy to be on the boards
