Intimacy would be nice to have but how can I even have that if very few people want to get close to me. I mean sometimes I try to talk to people and I just get looks of disgust. It’s not like I’m hideous or anything but it just make me feel like no one wants me around. How does one get intimate if no one wants you close?
@Bronzsonator I have nearly the same experience, and I'm convinced that people like you and I have missed out on some developmental learning experience(s). Our world is different because it's the only world we've known.
There's no way we can go back in time and have those experiences that other people have had - experiences that would have imparted confidence and/or social perception - so if we want to have these things we will have to learn them now.
There are some wise and caring people here, and as they describe their reality I try to open myself up to it.
Ummm, you talk like 3 sentences & you are "rolling on the floor"? That would be Tinder. Everybody else wants to get to know their partner a bit first.
@Radu I'm on tinder. I heard that people meet each other there, but I see no evidence of that. None of my messages have been answered, and no messages have been send to me.
Welcome, @Bronzsonator. The pandemic seems to be a rough time for intimacy, but don’t let it beat up your self-worth. It will end. You don’t explain who “no one” is but perhaps you’re seeking the wrong people in the wrong places? Commonality is key to friendships, which are key to romantic relationships.
Joining us here is a good start, but there are also clubs and meetings geared specifically to people interested in gaming and anime which can help you find someone. In the interim, join in the forums and conversation threads, and perhaps something will click for you. Good luck!
Intimacy happens After friendship!!! Slow the hell down!
There have been many times that I would describe my life in exactly the same words. Right now I feel less fatalistic, and I wish I could describe how I managed to get my emotional level off the floor and up to my knees.
On this site , a completed bio is a good start . If no one wants to be around you in person , you need to find out why . Check to be sure your personal hygiene is as it should be . Look at yourself in a mirror and check if there are things you can do to improve your appearance . Perhaps try working out ?
If you have communication skill problems you may want to join the Toastmasters club to improve your skills . Do you spend your first communications talking about your ex ? Do you whine or complain a lot ? Is everything about you ?
Do you mean during this epidemic nobody wants to get close to you? Or did you mean in general, even before social distancing went in to effect?
I'm pretty sure he means in general. The pandemic just makes it hurt more.
Everyone is bored and horny,,But everyone i know is playing it safe until after this is over
True I can see that

Posted by KhaCRYou ever feel like you found the perfect sexual partner then he turns out to be a complete 💩bag and you can’t find the satisfaction in other encounters?

Posted by JolantaThis is what women have to put up with and then they want to be intimate while we are still angry because they will not do their share of housework.

Posted by LetzGetRealMy family has often commented how I should become a "cougar"... as I look pretty good at my age and have a younger mindset than some of my peers, I guess this is there rationale?
