Hey everyone

Just wanted to introduce myself I'm a 29yr old female from NJ. I've been reading the forums for some time and I can identify with a lot of what people say, just not sure what's really wrong with me.

I just feel like I'm not good enough for anyone. I was teased at home and school as a child. Its hard for me to keep friends and date because I don't trust anyone. I live alone, work full time and have no children. My daily life is just going to work and going home watching tv, listen to music eat and go to sleep. I do get invited places but I don't feel comfortable around people I always feel like the odd one out. It doesn't help that I'm always the only single one in a group. Its like everyone has found their someone except for me, the guys I meet are either taken and looking for something on the side, or they act like they're interested but eventually blow me off. whenever I make plans whether it be a friend or relative I always end up getting canceled on, so I usually end up doing things alone. It would be nice to have that one person to call a true friend not the guy who wants to hang out because I have big boobs, or the so called friends who only want me around when its convenient for them but when I want them to come to me it never happens. I often talk to my mom but she's bipolar so she doesn't always make me feel better. When I see my father the only thing he's concerned about is my weight and why I don't have a boyfriend. I used to be in shape but I've put on some weight, not morbidly obese or anything but yes I could drop a few pounds. At the same time I think why should I lose weight? People should accept me for who I am. I'm just tired of being that nice funny girl who always gets ****ted on.

hi missk, welcome to spw!

its cool atleast that u do get to have social interactions.. u still get invited out and u are able to go! & u even have the initiative to start things.. also its nice to hear that you are comfortable with your bodyweight. hope things will start looking up for u!
 
That can be so frustrating to be the only single one, especially when you feel left out of social situations. It's so good you can be happy with who you are! I'm new here too..but I know that for me, when I have been in new places and alone, I used okcupid for a few months to try and make new friends who were also single..depending on where you are, maybe there is a free online social networking thing that could help you find people to spend time with
you don't have to actually use them for dating- you can try to meet people, and believe it or not, some of the people can be very nice and not just looking for someone to sleep with.
at the very least, it might help to just meet other single people, boys and girls, to spend time with and relate to. I'm 28 and also single, it can be a bit awkward to spend time with my friends who are engaged or having kids or both...but, I'm rather proud of my life and the time I've spent hitch hiking and creating art. I still have things to work on of course, like anxiety of driving and lots of anxiety in general..but it's my one life, and who says it has to be spent with someone else? that's just more of society's silly rules that make people feel bad about themselves for no good reason and spend extra money on valentine's day. the important thing is that you feel good about yourself and live a life that you are proud of, no matter what it looks like to other people :) it is your life, after all, and its happening right now. i would just think finding other single people might help so that you get as much social contact as possible and have other people to relate to, because there are plenty of awesome individuals out there who are single and loving that freedom :)
hope that helps..
