Are you lonely?
Do you constantly think about being with someone?
Do you sometimes go out of your way to find people like you?
Do you think, that when you find someone you fancy, or if they are similar to you, you automatically think that they cold be the one?
You can't help but wonder, do you stand a chance with them?
You really want to talk to and get to know someone, that has a lot in common with you or captures your interests, but you're insecure and afraid of being hurt/rejected?
Does it bother you when you see someone of your interest with a boy/girlfriend?

This is me.

Are you lonely?
Yes, I'm lonely... but only when I actively attempt to find a life partner. Otherwise I busy myself by reading or whatever.

Do you constantly think about being with someone?
No.

Do you sometimes go out of your way to find people like you?
No

Do you think, that when you find someone you fancy, or if they are similar to you, you automatically think that they cold be the one?
I've never met someone like me in person. Does that make me unique?

You can't help but wonder, do you stand a chance with them?

n/a

You really want to talk to and get to know someone, that has a lot in common with you or captures your interests, but you're insecure and afraid of being hurt/rejected?
Story of my life.

Does it bother you when you see someone of your interest with a boy/girlfriend?
Heck ya! That should be me!

I think that's ALOT of people on here. I feel almost the same way. I find someone I think I have a shot with, only to find myself in utter depression when I find out she just wants to be "just friends".

I definitely feel that way and I do wish to be an "normal" at times. But I realize that what I have could be a blessing. But yes, I want to meet someone real bad. Just by watching romance or reading them, I start to really crave that feeling. I do go for certain guys that I hope will like me, only to fall into a deep, dark hole again. My short happy moments only feel like lies to me.

All of those questions were Yes for me until I was about 22-23 funnily enough.
I had a relapse somewhat after I lost a decent paying job, apartment, friends, my looks, credit, etc. in that year and it made me put dating and girls much lower on my list of priorities.

Yes on all counts. For a while I'd been distracted and forgotten the lonely tinge, but I've got time again for thoughts to weigh heavy. It's not so much a selfishness in me to find someone who fits in my comfort zone, it's more being so socially inexperienced and unmotivated that I don't know how to be in a relationship. I expect to effectively distract myself soon, so I'll try not to fret over it.

I think anyone that shows me positive attention (and thus can actually stand being around me) could possibly be the one, though i've learned to never get my hopes up anymore. That only brings more pain though...

I'm always afraid of being hurt or rejected. I've learned to assume hostility until proven otherwise. I can't help but feel like the entire world has it out for me...

it bothers me seeing any happy couple. Sure it's great for them, but it's just a big reminder that they've found their happiness and I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere, with no one to turn to myself.

I think you described most of us to a tee. I'd have to say yes to all of the above.

Frankly, you're starting to scare me... your hatred of people and desire to harm them is seriously unhealthy... You've talked about hurting/killing innocent people, not just the ones who bullied you.

I'm lonely too, and mad that my beloved wife is out there with other men, to wish harm on them would mean to become as evil (or worse) than the people who hurt me.

Please - if these dangerous impulses keep going, please get help before you destroy anyone (including yourself.)

No, I'm not obsessed with finding someone. In fact, I should be more concerned with trying to find someone, if only to get other people off my back. I'm tired of answering questions about why I don't date. {Politely, anyway}

Oh yes.
