I don't think I have Agoraphobia, I can go out places and have a good time by myself or just with my family, but when I see someone, mainly a nice looking girl, I try to turn and go the other way trying not to make contact. I really want to get over this but it seems impossible to me, because the thoughts are always in my head. I think too much about what may happen or what could happen. I know it is all in my head and it is up to me to want to change but I don't see how I can be "brain washed" to think differently. I can't just walk up to someone and start a conversation no matter how many times somebody tells me to do it. And if someone tries to talk to me I try to end the conversation as quickly as I can. There is nobody that acts the way I do in my family that I know of. I feel I am very insignificant and feel nothing is lost without me. Am I just ranting along or what sorry...

I have had extreme anxiety for as long as I can remember. Just being around people makes me turn red, feel hot, have sweaty hands, and usually I end up making a complete ass out of myself. I normally just resort to being basically a hermit having little to no contact with the real world. It really sounds sad... I have tried things like the Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety and it almost felt like a job to me so I couldn't even get past the first week, what a waste of $500 that was. I'm 24 have only kissed one girl, never been in a relationship which obviously means I am still a virgin. What I am here asking for is if there are any people on here that somehow got over their anxieties, I'm talking extreme cases like staying in your room and not having many, if any, friends. Boy I sound like a complete idiot.
Thanks for any replies.

If the closest Nebula was as close as the nearest star it would take up our entire view of the sky

I just go with the flow whatever happens, happens

Chalets in Gatlinberg are really nice and reasonably priced

sure why not, as long as there is no ring and shes not with anybody

Drama.......When there is comparing/complaining about what you do for a living

Looks are what get relationships started, FIRST IMPRESSIONs are looks more than personality, You walk up to a young beautiful lady and start a conversation, chances are you were physically attracted to them, Although this is not in all cases, it is IMO and this is how it has been for me, looks dont have to be a 10 but I need to feel something physically you know?? And hopefully the persons personality is a winner to and you have a soul mate, if not keep looking

you should really get a photo of your self so we all know what you look like

I can't stand loud people, someone that says anything anywhere so that everyone can hear, no respect, so thats a big turn off..... smoking is a BIG turn off too.

You guys are so cool here, so many responses in so little time. I think being friends would be the best thing and if it becomes more in the future then thats cool. Thanks

We went off to college in different states and just lost contact over time.

I'm not very good at these internet things so i will do my best and get to the point.
I found a lost love from a few years back and I still have strong feelings for her (always have) but she now has two young children (one and two years old) from her previous relationship (single mom now). I love her but I can't see myself (23 years old) in school and all of a sudden trying to be the father figure for these two young kids. I just don't know what to do. What is the right thing to do, just be close friends or????

Hellooo

Thats a ? that didn't have to be asked def HOTTIE

Im on here rarely because I surf the web while I am at work and just mostly read what others are saying. Im in a happy relationship so im not single but like to see what others are up to.

I dont know what it feels like to be a single mom but I am in school with a job and thats hard enough for me. I can only imagine how stressful things must be. Little kids tend to love me I think because Im the only one who will get on the floor and build a fort with them. If you can find time for yourself things will work out for the best.

Hi, well my name is Zack and Im new to this online dating and I guess dating in general. Im turn 23 on Dec. 16 and live with my parents, mostly because its easier and cheaper that way while im in school. Im in school for graphic design and have a little over a year left. Im an average looking guy at 6'1" and about 170lbs brown hair and eyes. I love sports and cars and most of all my family. Im just looking for some new friends and hopefully that special someone . I live just outside of Cincinnati and look forward to meeting new people.
