broke down crying last night.
well, I compelety broke down crying last night. this happened becuase I've be so alone fo far too long, and nobody is willing to help. I'm if all the same excuses my so called relatives/friends keep giving me. I've told them that I tried all that, I tried to go places, I tried to meet people, I tried everything I could think of, and everything people told me to do. But none of that worked!! ! I'm at point where I find no reason to live if i can't get a girlfriend soon. my life has no purpose or meaning without someone to love. I all I've ever wanted, and all I've ever needed, is a relastionship with someone who truely cares. I'm a very senisitve guy, and as such my feeling are hurt severely when I see everyone else and how thye take relastionships for granted. too many people have it too easy, they can get a relationship any time they want, then throw it away and get a new one. but I just want one speical person in my life, like i siad I've tried everyhting! and I"m getting extremely desperate. people just don't understand what it feels like to be shunned be soceity and tormented in unspeakable manners. there is only one person a consider to be a true friend, and I asked him to help me find a girlfreind. he's the only guy who actualy tried to help. I know he's a true friend becuase of this, well that and we help each other alot. but even he has a girlfreind, in fact he's had many relastionships in the past. buy why can't I get that? everyone needs someone to love, and of course I do too. it's nice that my only real friend was kind enough as to introduce me to girl he knows through facebook. who also happens to live right here in town, so maybe I'll get to meet her, she seems nice. so, I've finally manage to grasp a very small amount or hope, but I don't know how long that hope will last. I was very depressed last night, so if anyone can give me some helpful feedback, I'd much apprieciat it.

I know the feeling. I'm 23 and single. I feel kinda lame not having a boyfriend. I haven't found that mr. right yet, lots of crazy people fall in love with me lol.
Just keep being you, love will surely find its way into your life eventually. Or simply love life as it is, because that is what keeps me going.
I am the same way and have had people I tried to meet at a picnic avoid me and when I approached them they would turn away from me and there is more-but that's past now and it resulted in being de-friended. I have cried and cried over the same issues that you have expressed and people keep telling me not to give up and theres a lid for every pot-I also find that hard to believe. I wish I had the answer and I wont try to give you advice and not give you advice that I myself do not follow as sometimes happens with people giving advice-I just want you to know you are not alone in the feelings you are experiencing and I have experienced the very similar things.

I don't have any good advice to give since I have been in this position myself. Knowing that it's not because of some superficial reason but because of my personality makes it even more difficult; especially when people tell me I am an amazing human being yet no one wants to be my partner. I have learned that I intimidate people and even if I try to "tone it down" or engage in NT banter, the situation doesn't change. Specifically, it's because I hate doing that and I can't be anyone else other than me. I would love to have a partner, but only if he loves the real me. The loneliness in unbearable at times and I wonder if I will ever find that person but I will never compromise who I am. I also want to share my life with someone. It's like a dream that slowly is becoming more like a fantasy, but I won't give up on it, ever.
I won't tell you to feel better because those are empty words, but I can say that I know how you feel and it's a terrible feeling.

Oh wow I have had that too-superficial people and I was told about my personality too-and others tell me I am all these good things but nothing-I love it when superficial people accuse others of doing things for superficial reasons-it makes no sense to me.

No, it's not the end-all, be-all and it's not going to magically transform your life and fix everything. You're in for a big disappointment if/when you do find someone, especially once you get past the "honeymoon phase", I think.
And I think, you're putting too much on whoever it would be. Too much expectation. Your disappointment will probably be focused on them and things will go badly if you hold on to this notion.
Don't be desperate, don't put too much expectation on this person, push the idea of a relationship to the back of your mind (*most* of the time, anyway, and especially at first) and just try to enjoy spending time with them ... without letting all these thoughts disrupt that. Try not to go in with colossal expectations - the fewer you have, the better. Not easy, I know, but there it is.
We are in the same boat, we all are. I also don't believe it when people say that your love will come, but the lonely days seem like forever as each day passes. I feel this way too and sometimes when I go to bed, I break down crying because I'm so lonely and my mind starts piling in with unpleasant thoughts of the past, like bullying and people who turned me down. All I can say is try your best, put your mind into what you want to do, and I know you've heard this many times and so have I, but the only way we get what we want, is if we think positive, which isn't easy for me because I get stuck with negative thoughts too, but I've seen it happen with other situations. Just know that you are not alone and we are all here to relate to others. I hope it all goes well with the girl you're about to meet, best wishes!

A true friend is a good thing. Some people don't have that - they have no one at all. Finding someone to love is a reasonable goal, but don't make it the focus your life. Relationships are as much work as they are reward. Focus your life around doing things you enjoy. Fall in love with yourself. I know this sounds stupid, but you have to take responsibility for your own happiness. It's possible to spend your whole life never finding "the one." I don't know how old your are or if this is about sex, but you can't ever rely on other people to make you happy. It just doesn't work.
THIS!
Trying to motivate others to be happy drains energy... been there before.
I know it's strange but occupying your mind with other things will actually give you much motivation and possibly give you a happier or content feeling. Think of something to do rather than something you want.

Well said ... depending on other people for happiness is just to guarantee yourself sadness and loneliness (in or out of a relationship), in my experience. I enjoy the happiness they bring me but I try not to expect it or rely on it. It's just not fair to either person, and as you say, it doesn't work anyway.
I do think that happiness is somewhat of a choice and is never based sought externally. Being lonely is just one thing I get sad about but I certainly don't let it set the theme for my life. In that regard, I love my aspie curiosity because it makes me want to learn so much. It's kind of like always having something to look forward to. ![]()
first of all, this is not about sex, I could care less about that. I'm 19, and don't even try to tell me that it's "too early" for me to be worried about love, just becuase I'm only 19. I've heard that countless times. yet just about everyone I know found someone to love when the where still in highschool. and you might try to tell me that i can't rely on other people or happyness, yet most people are happy because they have tons of friends to rely on.
To some extent, I can agree the happyness is somewhat of a choice, but not entirely, people need other people to be happy, becuase, by nauture all human are very social creatures and as such they rely heavily on soclialization to stay happy. and to avoid going insane. and yeah I have alot of curiosity too, but i'm also an extemely sensitive guy. and to be honest, I don't really have anything to look forward too. except a cold hard jail cell if I can't get the things I deserve, the things everyone else takes for granted, becuase they get it all for free with out even trying...
I guess I'm saying that, while being alone for so long is painful, it's not an all or nothing thing for me. Even with some sadness, I can have some fundamental happiness.
If you have nothing to look forward to, create something to look forward to. What I mean is, nothing happens when we are still. An object in motion tends to stay in motion. An object at rest.... you know how it goes. Even the smallest motion from ourselves can make big waves later. One wakes up one day and finds that their life has unexpectedly and radically changed.
It's not about age. Some people go their whole lives and never find someone. This myth about true love is destructive. It's not real; no one can count on it.
This is true, but socialization does not equal love. Even a couple of friends can be enough to keep you sane - and you're halfway there.

ok, well how am I supposed to"create" something to look forward too? sorry I'm afriad that doesn't work. and no.... a man does not just wake up and everything is better.

yeah, I know that, but I will not accept being "single for life" I have been tormented in horrific ways by the town I am forced to live in, and as such, if those who screwed up my life continue to do so, I will have my revenge, one of these days. anyway, it's not my falt that I've never had a chance to meet a girl, to find "the one". This society has shunned me, and I've recently come to hate soceity with all my strengh. and its not enough just to keep myself sane, I need a girlfriend... thats all I've ever needed... with out that spiecal someone, I fear my life won't last much longer. theres no reason for me to live.
