I'm almost 19 and I've never had a boyfriend. I'm getting depressed about it.

[all alone]

21 and haven't had a relationship yet, and at one point I was in the gutters about it (notice the name "all alone and the date i joined these forums a few years back). But since then i've definitely made moves forward in just relaxing and learning to enjoy myself more and take a lot of pressure off myself. I'm in a great place right now. Trust me, you need to take time to just learn to be comfortable with yourself, because if your not, its hard for someone else to be as well.

well, you're a clear case of low seft-esteem and insecure. Love will craw its ways to you so dont need to be so depressed. Lift your spirit, believe in yourself

Thanks for the advice, guys. I definitely agree that I need to find ways to be more comfortable with myself, but I'm not sure how to do that. I used to think that once I left high school and started college with a whole new group of people I'd be okay, but it's not. I mean I'm definitely more social and comfortable than I was in high school, but I still feel like people are alienated by me. I have a hard time making eye contact with certain people, usually people who seem very self-confident. I don't really have this problem with people who are shy or who just don't have an intimidating (even if they're friendly) vibe around them.

And sometimes I still feel like I'm the outcast, but I don't know if I'm being paranoid since I was so used to being the outcast in high school. I still have that feeling that I'm the "outsider" following me around, even if people are being totally nice to me.
