Search Results: changed since college

For me, personally, I came from a rather bitch ass family... not quite abusive, but very rude, and they never let me be what I truly wanted to me. Like my favorite passions have always been writing and drawing, but they wanted to force me to be a professional football player, even though I never cared for it. They also disliked my introverted loner personality style, and wanted to force me to be some sort of jock who brags all the time and his multiple women around him. Their words.

And I never quite had many friends, either, since my family's controlling behavior made me feel depressed, and I just wanted to be alone when I was depressed.

However, once I moved out from home and into college, without my parents knowing, I got into an art club, which would meet a few times a week.

And there, I met my girlfriend, my first true friend ever, and the first person I could truly be myself around without worrying about them judging me.

While I thought I had no problems as a loner, it was nice to have someone I could share my passions with rather than just keeping it all to myself. And at that, a very attractive slightly tanned brunette. Looks and personality, check. Likes me for who I am too... check.

I thought I was fine being alone, but having someone to share life with just made it so much better.

Not only that, but ever since I met her my confidence has been higher than ever, and I made a few good friends besides her as well. Nothing fancy, only about three close male friends I grab a beer or coffee with every week. But that's all I need. And before I had NONE, so it's an upgrade, totally.

Hello! I am 17 and I go to college and I'm currently in my third term. Lately, I've been really tired of being single and been wanting a change. I've thought about approaching women, but I always think that they are not going to be interested because I'm ugly. Back in middle school, I was made fun of a lot for the way my face looked. This came from both genders: male and female. Lately, I haven't ran into this problem in years might because I was a little chubby and my face was fatter. Now, I lift weights and right now I'm cutting (at 157lbs at 5'7.5. Back in middle school, I was about 170-180lbs at 5'7.5). Not only that, my clothing style has definitely gotten better since then. Not only that, some people at my middle school were not able to stand looking at my face and they try everything in their power to stay away from me at all costs. Lately with woman, I don't really catch people looking at me. Sometimes might lock eyes and they smile but I'm sure it's just politeness. Also, in some cases, I might accidentally strike up a conversation with girls and they usually smile in our whole entire conversation and keep contact. I'm also pretty sure this is just politeness. Also, for some reason, there is this one girl everytime we see each other we always strike a conversation and she always waves and smiles when we first see each other. Everytime she sees me and I usually think "what the fuck, is this person disrespecting me now". Because girls used to act they like me by doing this (yes, back in middle school, I was made fun of so bad, girls used to act they like me as a joke to all their friends). I was thinking about just ignoring her and acting like she does not exist. So, should I just say fuck it and go up to woman and talk to them because I have nothing to lose. If so, give me tips. I know I should be confident and should have a good personality. So, yeah give me tips.
