I am 22, have never had a girlfriend or dated. I go to work and currently get paid minimum wage, and I go home and spend time with my family. I did poorly in school and eventually couldn't complete all my credits in high school, because I was homeschooled for a year and somehow the papers were lost.
I never was really great at face to face communication. I had stuttering problems at school, and I took a speech class in elementary school to help me enunciate more clearly. Despite me getting better, I still had severe anxiety problems when I did presentations.
I only had 3 real friends come into my life. Plenty of acquaintances, but hardly any real friends. I spent most of my days playing games, playing piano, and talking to people on the computer instead of interacting in the real world. I understand now, that I have made some really bad choices...
Since I don't hang out with people much, I don't know what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. My mom taught me manners, but I understand things change, and I don't know if the same rules and manners apply today when you go on a date as yesterday, when things were a lot different.
People in school always thought I was weird and my behavior was odd, and that I didn't talk to anybody. Whenever I tried to talk to people, they always told me to shut up and turn around. Whenever I read a book, they told me to stop reading. They told me that I would never get a girlfriend.
Luckily those days are over, and they didn't really prepare me for the real world. I finally came across the idea of multiple streams of income. So despite me working a minimum wage job, I'm trying to get an investment account set up so I can make money while I sleep. I hope eventually I will be able to move out of my parents house and start my own family.
Few people ever try to initiate a conversation with me. I am somehow perceived as boring and uninteresting when I talk. Never was funny, always interested in serious topics.
I was always passionate for hobbies. Was a musician involved with classical music. I turned vegan 2 years ago.
I can't even find anyone like me. I am so different.
