There's really no point in me living in this world. Had a chance to meet girls and not be FA in four years of college, and I blew it. Now I'm in grad school and I'm not meeting anybody there either. Not that it matters, because I'm not physically attractive or interesting. It's basically going to be impossible for things to change as time goes on. And living in such a judgmental world where I have to be embarrassed by being a virgin at my age (will turn 24 in 3 months) is probably worse than death.

I'm sorry if that sounds like a stupid reason to be depressed. There's just no point living in this world when you know you're going to be lonely as long as you live, and you'll always be embarrassed because of it.

Glad you're reaching out for help but I wish you would take it one step further with a phone call. And if you've already called do so again, just like the relationship you're looking for sometimes we need a certain something in the voice we are hearing. I'm 61 on the other side of the time bubble and major clinical depression and fear induced PTSD don't look any better from here and they still press those same suicidal buttons. Fight the impulse and make the call!!! PLEASE...

You need to have hope and not worry. There are billions of girls on this planet that would love to be with a guy that has goals and is going to school and has a future. And I know that you would treat a girl so good and make her very happy. You need to love yourself before you expect someone to love you. Go to the gym or pick up hobbies that you are good at so you can build confidence. You should go on dating websites and apps and just talk to a bunch of girls so you become more comfortable and confident.. I am in in college so I understand how you feel, please if you need to talk or vent than message me. I am here and very understanding and can give you advice always. You are in my prayers.

Always remember. Even if you die your emotions and feelings will still remain. Life is a gift, use it well. How about removing all the drama and stuff in your head and start feeling good/loving yourself. Start easy measures. If your intention is to find a relationship to make you feel good about yourself then your completely wrong. Your on grad school. You must be smart and ambitious. Hold on to your achievements and make something out of it. Become the person who you want to be with. ;)
