Alright, so I really don't feel like I'll ever meet anyone or experience anything in life. And it's gotten to the point where I just don't care any more. I just feel shut off to the idea of dating and being in a relationship in the future. I just feel that there is no point, and that I am more than confident that I will never meet anyone. Are these thoughts normal? Because I can feel that it is an absolute thing, and I've tried to change my out look on life, but I just can't. Just wanting to know if it's normal is all.
It's normal. I think that everyone goes through these phases in life, however it wouldn't hurt to seek counseling because it sounds like you may have depression. A lot of people have depression and don't even realize it. I hope you feel better either way. Everyone has somebody out there waiting for them and I don't think that you're on the shortage sheet hun.
No, I know I have depression, and I've had it for a few years, but I've felt this way since I was 8 - 9 months ago
Answerer
Are you taking anything for it, if you don't mind me asking? If not, I recommend it because although it's not a miracle pill, it helps you deal with anxiety and look at things a little differently. And if you are maybe what you're taking is making you feel worse. Some antidepressants have a reverse effect. - 9 months ago

Talk to your doctor and see what else can be done. Depression is usually from a chemical imbalance and it sometimes takes different medications to balance it out. - 9 months ago
Question Asker
I know the medication is working, but I mostly have to think positive for myself, but it isn't working. alright, I'll give it a shot. thanks!! - 9 months ago
Answerer
Thinking positive is something you have to get in the habit of hun. It's hard when you're feeling so down but what works for me is I think of or write down everything good in my life or when it's really bad I force myself to laugh and strangely feel better lol. Thank you for awarding my answer as the best I really hope that you feel better and see all the good that you've been blessed with. - 9 months ago

I found this quote and thought of you, hope it helps you smile. "Though you may be under a dark tree, always look for the light shining through the branches" I wish I knew who wrote it, but it didn't say. - 9 months ago
Ah it'll pass. It's normal/ Everybody has periods of despair.
I sometimes feel like my life would be better served if I were castrated and sent to join a monastery, but it passes, and I meet someone new, and the cycle starts again.
Yeah, but I've felt this way ever since I was little, and I just didn't know if it was normal. - 9 months ago
Answerer
Oh, me too. Obviously not the castration bit since I'd have had no idea what that was, but I've gone through periods like this for as long as I can remember. Since before puberty, certainly. The woman who responded is right, you're probably a sufferer of a mild-moderate depression of some ilk, which your GP (doctor) can help you with if you ask him. - 9 months ago

Please don't be offended by this as it's not my intention but I think you are suffering with depression. It might be worth booking an appt. With your G. P. To arrange some counseling. X

I'm sorry to hear that. I still think you should have a chat with your G. P. There are lots of different therapies available likewise with anti-depressants and with the help of your G. P you gotta find something that suits you. X - 9 months ago
I think it is perfectly normal. If you are in college like me you might shy away from guys because most are pretty horny and just want to get laid. It's hopeless. I've never dated still but I know it's possible now and I've always been shy. I've always been interested in older men because they have more common sense and like a girl that can start and engaging conversation in either movies, books, what your opinions are in what's going on today. Whatever, they care about what you say. In college, I find a lot of guys like that. As you might know, people in college realize looks don't matter personality starts to matter now.
I have told some guys that I've never dated and it scares me, I've never had many guy friends. Surprisingly they didn't mind that I was uncomfortable about the idea of dating and are were quite patient. I've had some tell me that they like me and they have no problem's of just hanging out and doing what seems natural. The common, going out to movies and having dinner thing doesn't have to be like a date. It could be a video game and some hot pockets!
There may be no point in dating or just the word "dating" but there is a point in finding that someone that likes you for you and you can go to that someone to be recognized or just to enjoy each other's company without saying a word. It's also to know you can possibly be physically close to that person. The butterflies you feel tickles :)
