I kinda feel how you feel dear. Being a relationship is fun and exciting. Being inlove also is a good feeling. However based on my experience. Having a relationship just for the sake of having it doesn't work out in the end. Because you will realize that happiness will start by having a healthy relationship with yourself.

I know rejections sucks, It so painful to be rejected. It's make you numb, it feels like your body is weakening, then you feel not good enough.

It's so hard to advice people in your age group because when I was your age I would have not listen. As people we always have that need to feel good all the time. But life doesn't operate that way.

My advice to you is to chill, because when your chill and relax things will come to you in the most unexpected way. God knows your needs. Have faith and always believe in yourself ;) and also Pray ;)

If you can't see why anyone would want to date you, then they may not be able to see it either. Even if the opportunity arose,you may miss seeing it due to your insecurities. I would say work at bettering yourself. What do YOU think would make yourself more attractive to date? Think about it, and try to implement those things into yourself.

You need to work on you and forget dating others for now. Until you feel stronger about yourself, I think you'll have trouble finding someone you deserve. We get our confidence back by having small successes. What can you do that would bring a small success into your life?

I tend to feel better about myself when I feel like I have a chance at finding someone. I feel like I'm running out of time, and I know that sounds stupid on account of my age. But I have this issue and I know I don't have as much time as most people do.

How can I just forget about something so fundamentally important to me as finding a partner?

You don't have to forget about it, but you don't have to dwell on it either. I would agree that right now you need to work on yourself, possibly with a therapist. Also do you have friends who you spent time with? What about family? Are you close to anyone? Do you have any hobbies that you enjoy doing? Cultivate some interests that might lead you to meeting others. Why do you feel like you don't have much time? Are you terminally ill?

My friend, I am 33 years old. I didn't lose my virginity until I was 30. I enjoy breakdancing and music as hobbies, and people say I am really badass at both. It still doesn't make a difference when it comes to finding a girlfriend though. At the same time, I see "normal" people have relationships, even weird awkward people too. I may sound judgemental right now, but that's because I am insecure. I feel like everyone is able to find love, but not me. I feel like there's something fundamentally wrong with me. I used to feel the same way about only wanting to be with someone who is a virgin, but with time, that idea faded out of my mind. I met someone when I was 30. Had a short (3months) but very sweet relationship with her. In the end, my insecurities became too powerful and she ran away to a real man. He is shorter than me, older than me, but has more money and confidence, and an impressive job. I am still friends with the girl. At first, the idea of her being with someone else was enough to make me want to disappear. I got over it though. Somehow. Buddhist meditation helped me through most of this. Others may find solace in the blessings of Jesus in these situations. Whatever it is, find something. Ask for it. Ask for a path to overcome your suffering. Suicide is not the answer though. Think of it as a tattoo of your crying family. Once you do it, you can't get rid of it. If you want someone to talk to, I'm here for you. All of us here are here for each other. And you're still 18!!!! The whole world is ahead of you man!!!! Jeez I wish I was 18 again... With everything I know now... You are sitting on a gold mine. Things change. Your state of misery is not solid, it CAN and WILL change!!! Find something that makes you laugh. At the lowest of low points, when I can't even meditate, I watch stand up comedy on YouTube. Bill Burr and Dave Chapelle are pretty good. Russel Peters is good too. Joe Rogan and Bill Burr both have podcasts, check those out. I can almost guarantee that one or more of those dudes can lift your spirits. As far as insight into finding a girlfriend, Zan Perrion is worth looking into. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best. Much love. ~a kind stranger from Canada.

Everyone has something going for them, it's just that with how self-critical so many of us are it can be very, very hard to recognize it. Try to think back on times you've done something right, or really well, or were a complete badass... take that feeling with you, once you start getting to know yourself, your chances will improve because then other people will feel they can get to know you as well. Sounds really corny and cliche I know, but it's working for me. Just give it try :-)

And please don't die... you have a lot to live for, whether you realize it or not, and we're all here for each other on here. I'm always willing to listen if you ever need to talk!

Heidiclark, I have limited time because of this issue I have. Please read the original post.

Red47640, I don't see anything a woman would want with me, and the fact that nobody has ever had any interest in me has shown that. Even if I did have something desirable, it's never enough. There's always someone better than me who also happens to be emotionally stable.

Keep hope for the future try to plan out the next 10 years you can create your own reality. Most people bloom early but sometimes late bloomers get better after every else plateaus. U still got a chance kid! Dont be like me and waste your life u can turn life around for you.

a woman will love you that you never knew. and you will be happy with her life cause shes classy. and you will live long and realize you werent wrong. this life is shit hole but you fell in love so at least you reached your goal!!

Don't sweat it, kid, a lot of people who are married or in relationships want to die too. Being part of a couple does not guarantee happiness. You have to dig deep and find your contentment in nature, a hobby, like I do photography, exercise, something that creates beauty and peace in your own soul.
