Yes, everyhing else in my life is fine. I don't think I am productive individual of society because the only thing I do is going to college, but I am sure I will be. If that is so, then find something to do, some way you can contribute through work. You're awkward with words, so speak with your act...

I want to be able to socialize like a normal person, I want to feel I have friends and I want to belive that I can have a girlfriend and will not die alone.

What is your goal in overcoming your insecurities? What kinds of things do you want to do that you can't do right now?

I think that I feel like no one cares about me is because that same friends I mention in the previous post stoped inviting me to hang out with. Another friend of mine (this was a good friend from primary school) didn't want to sit with me in the classroom (the teacher make him to do it), he said to...

I feel like other people don't care about me, at all.

How'd it go?

You have attractive friends who are living lives you admire. You would gain a lot if you'd open yourself up to them more. Of course, it's not exactly that simple. As you mentioned, you have problems with insecurity, which tends to go together with a lot of guilt. The question, then, is what have you...

What do you find to be most difficult about opening up to others?

People often imagine themselves doing things that will make them more popular, more attractive, more influential, more dignified, and more interesting. And more often then not, these people end up not accomplishing anything thereby. Why don't they? I think it's because of the superficiality of these...

And that's it, isn't it? The friendship is largely built on "cultivated weaknesses," sort of like what Liveintown refers to as "shared deficits." I've tried to be supportive simply by listening and setting an example, but there's a limit. He's not going to change, ever. And I do...

You don't have to keep looking for things to call yourself, like having ASPD or depression. I'm more and more getting the sense that you're a normal person with normal questions about who you are in a society where you don't quite fit in. I suspect that you're exaggerating how cruel or deceptive you...

What I want is a closure. You appear to have an unusual personality. As such, it is possible that common wisdom does not apply well to you, which is why you are so disturbed even though you have no abuse in your past. It does not mean that there is something wrong with you; you are an unusual perso...

@ the cloud, I don't know if I'm being critical, but it might me towards my mother. I'm extremely defensive and I don't think I could talk to her about my problem without getting into a fight. Though I said that, I'll keep your advice in mind, thank you What reason do you have to be defensive towar...

I don't envy anybody and have never sought attention. Or maybe I'm just so desperately worried, I'm trying to seek reassurance? These thoughts are harmless. But that's already been obvious for a while. There is no way you don't already know. These thoughts are harmless. So the question is, when it'...
