totally friendless

I feel the same way. I have just about zero friends and it's very hard for me to make any.

Well you've got friends on here Daisy 🙂

I am 50 years old, and I have always been despicable. No one likes me, and no one should.

"Always, no one, no one, should"...sometimes I think people are addicted to feeling like shit. Maybe if they made a sincere and prolonged effort to change their characters for the better, they would change their material situations. But this site is plagued with this. Stop being addicted to your own misery. Who doesn't have problems?

Yep. Nothing to say more but yep.

I have no friends irl :sad: and idk why recently but i haven't been on social media including social anxiety social media maybe it's from my depression or cfs (at least i think I have that).

Or we've made significant effort, thrown money at books and treatments, and gained no ground or slipped right back down.

Maybe you'd like a different website better and should leave.

Well, I have been on here for about 9 years so leaving now would be a shame. But I'm just saying what I think. And I'm guilty of it too. I love to think that I'm the victim of a cruel world...it gives me great pleasure. And I blame other people for my problems, that's how identified I am with my role on the earth.

Maybe you could give us a detailed account of your attempts or type in a link to a post where you talk about them and we can see if you did it by the book. Maybe we will all learn about the limits of pain-tolerance, effort, intelligence and passion.

I was chatting to a person who had SA on this site and he said that he just basically spent 6 years of his life reading up on it and he finally cured it. He is now the boss at a company. I myself have made significant improvements since I decided to confront my fears and it's not as if I spent a great deal of money on it. You would be surprised what a library card and a drive to destroy limiting beliefs can do.

I stay away from socal media as well besides skype and interpals but even those i don't go on anymore but i want to though :sad:. Why do you hate seeing pictures of yourself and prefer forums where you can be anonymous?

Hi. I often feel like I am 'invisible' in social situations, and it does anger me sometimes as I am someone who has a lot to talk about, and I have lots of ideas and opinions on things. I am generally considered a nice person, although on first glances perhaps people would not 'see' that in me. From the few things that you've said already, I feel that it would be certainly worth getting to know you. 🙂
