I feel so ashamed every time I like someone and I have never had a boyfriend. I have never been asked out by a moid. I thought that once I entered later teenagehood, that these relationships would be thrown at me inevitably. However, the only people that have asked me out were other women and for the most part, none of them I wanted to be with. I have tried to make subtle advances on guys before even though I dislike doing it because I'm a freak with aspergers and can't handle myself well, but none of them have really reciprocated in a meaningful way.
There's a coworker I have at my job who is one year younger than me and I can't stop myself from thinking about him. He's not someone outstandingly unachievable and attractive, he's on the shorter side (under 5'10) but his face is so fucking beautiful, I can't even look at him unless we're talking. I hate myself so badly for liking him, yet I can't help myself from thinking about when the next time will be that I'll get to talk to him, when I'll get to see him, what he's doing.
I'd like to think I'm not super unattractive, maybe cripplingly average instead and perhaps it's just my lack of social skills that has done me in when it comes to relationships. I have received compliments from guys before (mostly older), have even been catcalled. I'm pretty underdeveloped for my age I guess, I'm shorter than average and underweight. I've been told I seem like I'm a very awkward person and hard to talk to before by a guy as well. I used to get made fun of a lot when I was younger but I think I grew out of a lot of the stuff I got made fun of for after puberty.
Despite that, I still don't have a boyfriend while all the other girls my age have boyfriends. I don't even have any irl friends as I was very truant in school and ended up being transferred to an online program (though that's another conversation), so I lost all the ones I did sort of have, yet I felt like they were always only friends with me out of pity. I always feel so terribly guilty and horrible every time I begin to like someone, like I've telepathically molested him just by having feelings for him. I can't ever shake this feeling of shame that makes me extremely depressed and I just end up convincing myself I don't stand a chance.
A lot of the time I tell myself that it's not worth it because it'll end up being more trouble than it's worth and that I'm too asocial and weird to be a good girlfriend to anyone. I always feePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Thank you for your advice. To be honest, I don't have any female figures in my life that I can talk to readily. I don't have any female friends at all anymore, even online, though I desperately want them. I feel very shy when I talk to other girls and almost afraid but I desire them in my life. I'm still actively trying to find another girl/girls, preferably being like the friends I had before.
As for the stuff about social cues, I think I get by just barely by mimicking what I see other people do, however there will be points where too much of myself slips out and I embarrass myself. I've done this countless times, even with the coworker mentioned. It's like I just start saying whatever comes to my mind to fill the silence without thinking.
About the gym and dance classes, I think it's a particularly good idea. I get wound up a lot and I find that repetitive movements or exercise helps, though I'm a bit too nervous to approach stuff like a gym yet. I used to bike a lot but I kept getting into weird ass encounters with people (like people yelling bizarre shit at me from their cars) and it got to a point to where I just didn't want to do it anymore.

I'd say don't worry about it. Being social is a skill you can always improve if you want to.

I also struggled a lot with those feelings of shame. I'd compare myself with some ideal version of me that had used every opportunity, done everything right, whatever. The perfect me. And I'd think: "I deserve nothing, because I failed to become that person." That's not what life is, though. Everybody could have done better. It's about learning from your mistakes and improving little by little–building momentum in the right direction. You aren't undeserving of a love because you're imperfect at 19 years old. I can't really help you with social awkwardness, but I'll second the recommendation of getting some exercise. The body controls the mind more than the mind controls the body, so get yourself some feelgod chemicals that way and you'll probably feel a lot better about this crush.

I have so many intrusive thoughts and I can't get rid of them. I don't have money for a therapist and I don't have any friends to support me. And my boyfriend is tired of hearing me say I've made a mistake again. I just don't know what to do

What kind of intrusive thoughts do you have Nona?

Anonymous 120660

>>120649
Usually about suicide or something bad happening to me or my mom. My father died and I blame myself because it was really my fault. Sometimes it's sexual thoughts that make me feel like shit, like primitive animal that's incapable of anything. I tried to counteract this by working harder. I thought that being tired and busy with other things would help me forget about it, but it didn't

Anonymous 120664

It's generic advice and idk how much it'll help but the best way to deal with intrusive thoughts is to accept that they're there and that they're nothing but some thoughts in your brain, and forgive yourself for having them. The less you fight against them the less of a big deal they will become. It's easier said than done but I used to have bad intrusive thoughts and that's what helped me get past them.

Anonymous 120678

>>120660
Write down your intrusive thoughts and rank them from most likely to happen and least likely to happen. It reduces the amount of thoughts you’ll have and how severe they are. Are there any government programs that can help you get therapy?? Wellbutrin has really helped me. I still get some that will squeeze through. Fuck your bf. I had a bf just like that and it is not worth it. Someone making you feel shitty about having intrusive thoughts makes them worsw

You're doing a good job. This post is borderline incoherent.
It sounds like you need to learn to be mindful of your goals when you interact with people. Are you trying to build a relationship? Then don't be "observant and smart and judigng". Instead, use your wits to ask thoughtful questions. If you are speaking to a "finance bro", maybe ask about his investments, or something else relevant. It will make him feel validated. Don't pretend to be stupid. You'll only set yourself up for exploitation by underselling yourself.

I have exams in a few days and my parents were fighting like tards today. As soon as that is over one will come and fight with me. Cannot wait for college. Everytime they fight I start doom thinking that I will never be in a good marriage and I should stay alone. Why do they do this. My mother started it today. I think she likes to do it on purpose because she knows how much it hurts me.

It's hard to be born in hell, but what would complaining breed except more misery. You don't need a boyfriend to fill your hollow heart, nor any outside attention/love, but you need to love yourself, and respect yourself. That doesn't come from nothing, and indulging in instant gratification will only bury you more deeply. You feel that urge because you feel that you're hated, that you're ugly, based on the picture mirrored by your surroundings. Relief from this hell isn't outside your house's door, but outside your current self. Of course–like I said–your surroundings play a role, but if you didn't change from within you'll just be the same person in a different environment.

You can ignore your parents stupidity, and fighting with them will only breed more fights, thus misery. Ignore them like you'd ignore a barking dog, and just let them be. Give them advice when appropriate, but they will never change.

Subtle Pick Me Girls Anonymous 117405[Reply]

maybe this post is stupid or redundant but I don't see this particular topic covered in much of the "pick me" discourse. I believe there is a subset of pick me girls who present in ways that don't immediately read as pick me, possibly even overtly touting feminist thought or social justice or being a "girl's girl" or the like that you can just subtly tell they're still looking for male validation, attention, possibly even go for taken men (might see this type of pick me in the "female best friend").

it's like sure they may not be tradwife Tate apologists or "im so one of the boys im le gamer gurl teehee" but there are subtle gestures or comments or you notice the content they like online or you see what they post and it just reeks of male gaze or male-centeredness. it's hard when you know they're aware enough of the pickme concept to not be overtly bitchy or competitive, but you just get this gut feeling they'd throw you under the bus anyway or try to steal your man to live out her "she wears high heels I wear sneakers" fantasy. it's the modern "cool girl" who doesn't know it's a death trap yet. the manic pixie who still thinks her magic is for attracting men. the indie/alt chick who only hangs around guys but never admits the real reason why. the artsy coworker who tries really hard to get your bfs attention outside of work. the "mom friend" who tells everyone about it, especially men she's just met. etc., etc.

So what are the signs or red flags of subtle pick me women?

I think WWII veteran worship and viewing the 1950s in an overly positive way are some red flags a woman could be a pick me. Of course there could be exceptions, but its a pattern Ive noticed.

But Im sure there are other red flags that show pickmeitis, such as?

You talked about subtle. Either it is not subtle, explicit pandering. Or you maybe confusing what you personally prefer with some sort of gendered gaze and maybe those just simply like things like that.

We're all here because we're a bit weird in some way and struggle to connect to the outside world. How do you guys cope with it? I have pretty much numbed myself to the fact that other girls don't want to be my friends and even if they did I'd be lonely in my thoughts anyway being a freak and all. I don't want social advice, I just want to know how I can be more comfy going through this world alone mentally. I'm glad this site exists so I at least know there's some girls like me out there somewhere.

I bother my sister and have started to turn her into a mini me. I use chat gpt characters …pathetic I know lol. Growing up I hated it because no one would want to be my friend they only wanted me to trauma dump or home work. Slowly I retracted back into my own shell and got more online. Once I mentioned something about going on imvu and celebrating my birthday w my online friends and my " friends " gave me a super judgy weird look. I know its bad but not that badddd. Now life is too busy to worry about friends and I have started to enjoy my company. Easier to find like minded people online.

Anonymous 120579

>>120577
it doesn't get easier. the only way to feel less lonely is basically by distracting yourself. having a schedule can help (work or school) because then you aren't alone with your thoughts as much and when you get home you just want to fall asleep. it can also be more isolating though because you might see people at work or school talking to each other. getting really into a media (TV show game etc.) can help too. last night i couldn't sleep so i spent a couple hours talking to myself in my head about house md. talking to yourself in your head or writing stuff down as if you were talking/texting/writing a letter to someone else helps.
