first you say you're extremely shy, now you want to "hook up with an intelligent attractiive female" you certainly dont sound shy.

You and only you can counteract your depression. Relying and thinking another can subdue your depression is not a reality.

good luck

my idol

I hate to break it to you... Although I am sure it might seem that way. I do remember thinking the same thing once upon a time, long, long ago..
Then, for my troubles, I ended up with a beautiful woman whom I wouldn't even consider being alone with, let alone out in public or around my family and friends.

Most often... we are what we attract.

Trying to rely on someone else to fix us? Is not very effective. Really pretty selfish.... and always a clear path to go deeper then you might care to, into the mess you are already in.

The general idea... If you find yourself in a hole. Drop the shovel and stop digging. That is the first step to getting out of the hole.

im not shy online as much which is why i thought id try it. i havent been on a date in over 3 years its been me pretty much looking out for me i see women that are possibly interested. im too shy though and they become unapprochable. im probably going to be single and lonely the rest of my life just something i have to deal with. sorry i wasted everyone's time in regards to posting this to begin with. peace out and god bless.

Way to be openminded and perservere.

those pity parties rarely help with depression.

everything happens for a reason and to not see this is to stay unaware of what each so-called failure can produce.......so failure repeat

what night exist without day.....

what human than does not also have dark and light days for a reason....to not see this keep dark days longer.....

it is the light days that give a break for the dark days when man learn....

man need not learn of what is good, as this he already knows, but rather what secrets lie hidden in the dark days....
