BUNDLE OF JOY Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I don't really have the energy or motivation to describe my torture chamber of a life really but the broad strokes are I'm a 28 year old AB male who suffers from extreme clinical depression all of the time, am basically a shut-in, extremely lonely and haven't had sex in over six years...

Gennie Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 BOJ, I'm going to be really blunt with you, and it's going to hurt. Link to comment
BabyFergstar Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I'm not going to laugh in your face, but the desire for this kind of immediate relationship just isn't realistic. Link to comment

Dill_Pickle Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Elfking, I think Baby Fergstar has the right starting point, short of G&Js professional help, which I don't discount...BOJ needs to break out of his rut and start doing fun things socially and making friends. Unless he wants to support a prostitute for his mommy, this is a necessary first step...learning how to make friends and doing fun things *is* a social skill, and something that will both make him attractive and give him perspective and enough choices not to make the mistake you warn of -- a poisonous relationship that can be extremely damaging and exacerbate his pre-existing issues. BOJ, tell us...the name of a group in your area doing things you like to do...and how the meeting went. I have heard Toastmasters isn't bad for getting some confidence. Link to comment
