Me and two of my friends were having a conversation. Relationships popped up mid convo so i brought up how I've never been in a relationship, dated, kissed, or held hands with the opposite gender and they told me it was probably because im "Creepy like a ghost" and they laughed about it. I found this extremely concerning so I asked them to elaborate they said that im very pale, have very wide eyes, im extremely quiet, and fidgety. one of them said "like the grudge(the movie monster) but blonde" because im so off-putting. They them told me that watching me have a conversation with someone especially men is like watching an alien trying to pretend to be a person. I just feel embarrassed and utterly humilated. I knew i was socially awkward but I didnt know it was THAT bad... how do i fix this? I cant believe im so creepy

I want 4 things in a relationship, I wanna play Minecraft with him, I want to bake for him, and I want to go to church with him and i want to cuddle him. Sure I have some basic standards(Be a decent person, dont cheat dont murder me etc) but I really don't care if he's ugly, attrative, skinny, chunky, weak strong, short tall etc​ I DONT CARE! I just wanna bake him stuff like banana bread, and apple pie, i wanna play minecraft and other games with him, i want to hold hands while praying with him, and i want to give him physical affection like cuddling, hugging, kissing, handholding etc! why do i have to be FA? ;-; I don't think my standards are too high and I'm not ugly I'm just very socially akward and shy around guys! maybe im not looking in the right places but i dont know what to do as ive never been in a relationship or asked out before! advice wanted :(

Pre-zoloft I was fully lesbian, felt fully attracted to FEMME women and my entire life I had NEVER been attracted to men, after starting zoloft I started forming attraction for more masculine women, then men, I identified as bisexual for a long time(about a year) before realizing I hadn't been attracted to women for a long time/after starting zoloft. It worked, it practically cured my depression and anxiety but it literally turned me straight. Has ANYONE else experienced this?

The problem is i cant switch my meds because this was literally the ONLY side effect I delt with and there were absolutely 0 outside changes or severe influences that couldve caused this. i Need advice.

Pre-seteraline I was fully lesbian, felt fully attracted to FEMME women and my entire life! I had NEVER been attracted to men(NEVER), after starting it I started forming attraction for more masculine women, then men, I identified as bisexual for a short time before realizing I hadn't been attracted to women for a long time/after starting setaraline. It worked, it practically cured my depression and anxiety but it literally turned me straight. Has ANYONE else experienced this?

Does it have to do with horomones or something???

Its described as Soft rose petals, sweet sandalwood, and sparkling fairy dust it matches the description perfectly. It smelled and worked so good i bought the entire collection! It smells dreamy, and reminds me of old Disney princess movies.

Im someone with sensitive skin and awful Kp but smelling good is super important to me. Something ive noticed with the entire collection is that it didn't cause any breakouts, allergic reactions, or severe itching!

Bodyspray/mist: the bodyspray/mist smells amazing although it doesnt last very long on skin ive noticed it will last awhile on clothing! Its very sweet while a candied soft rose smell is definitely the top note the creamy sweet sandalwood aftersmell and middle notes makes it so dreamy.

Lotion: The lotion is amazing and very moisturizing unlike other bath and bodyworks lotions its quite thick and will last a long time! Great for dry skin girlies! But the smell. It matches perfectly with the perfume and lasts the ENTIRE day. Its heavier on the sandalwood and its not as sweet as the perfume!

The bodywash smells super strong and definitely the scent sticks to the skin after use! Its quite heavy on the sugary scent and the rose! It made my skin so soft and didnt cause any irritation at all!

The glitter spray is quite thick but smells exactly like the perfume!

The handsanitizer smells mostly like roses! It doesnt really smell like the others and smells more like vanilla then sandalwood!

The candle has to be my all time favorite though... it smells good and creamy the perfect blend of creamy sweet sandalwood and candied sugary roses except the sugar is very light. Absolutely LOVE IT.

unfortunately it is limited addition so similar scent/fragrence recommendations are welcome! :)

I can't even fathom how someone even gets into/starts a relationship. Does one person go up to the other and is like "do you like me" and the other just says yes or no??? Thats so awkward??? I'm genuinely curious how it even works, before after and during the relationship because ive never been in one, and ive never been asked out. Im very socially intept so Can someone explain?

I am F17 I was always super progressive and prochoice (ever since i was 13 atleast). The thing is im also diagnosed with a neurological developmental disorder that affects my day to day life. I heard one of my prochoice(non disabled) friends at the time say that disability was a reason to abort and its cruel to bring anyone into this world with a disability. This horrifed and shocked me. As someone with a disabiltiy i took offense to this We got into a really heated debate about it and stopped being friends because of it... specifically because i said "if my mom knew i was disabiled should she have aborted me?!" And they responded "yes". I started doing more and more research and eventually saw all the disgusting ableist shit that prochoicers were spewing. Saying that "if you give birth to a child knowing its disabled your horrible" and "if you have a genetic disability you shouldn't even have kids". Literally nazi Rhetoric. This abliest bs made me realize we literally can't put ratings on human life. Its fucked up and eugenics.

I feel like a strange out of world creature towards men. I dont know how to talk to them OR approach them. I try to look pretty but one of my friends told me that i was creepy and looked like a ghost and thats why men dont like me. I dont know how to socially interact with anyone let alone men. Not only that I'm so desperate for human male touch and contact. I want to hug a guy and never let go. It doesn't even have to be romantic it could be a totally platonic hug and I'd be fine with that! I've never even been in a relationship let alone held hands with the opposite gender... I have no clue how dating works, ive never been confessed too or even flirted with...i feel so jealous of other girls who are in relationships. I just can't even comprehend how to get in one. Its so unfair. Its my senior year im 17 something should've happened atleast once in my life but NOTHING. Not even in elementary. I feel so pathetic and embarrassed. can anyone relate and or offer advice?

I got complimented by a guy today. I know it might sound silly but this has made my entire month and I will be thinking about it for awhile after. Does anyone else feel like this? Im not ugly or anything but VERY socially awkward so I dont talk to guys at all. I feel like im on cloud nine fr. I know it probably won't ever lead to anything and ill still probably be forever alone but its the little successes that matter

I am a Christian who believes that she can answer any question about Christianity for athiests, agnostic or other Christians! I love answering religous questions and i feel like it furthers my faith in god/christ! I see questions being shamed in a lot of Christian spaces so hard hitting questions are TOTALLY welcome! I'll answer anything and everything to the best of my ability! Anything you've felt curious about, or even to scared to ask ill answer! :)

I have severe ADHD. Im diagnosed and medicated for it. The thing is I have a lot of friends with extremely mild ADHD and they just dont understand how hard and difficult it is for me day to day. I experince extreme emotional dysfunction and emotional vitality which causes me to have constant moodswings, and get irritated/overstimulated easily. I experince extreme procrastination and Complete task paralysis and Extreme Demand Avoidance. The task could be as easy as coloring or something i genuinely want to do and ill still avoid it. My memory is horrible and fails often i barely remember anything even simple tasks like brushing my teeth or eating. Im so much slower than everyone at learning or test taking to a humiliating point. I just feel broken. How do i cope?

Im 17 Its my senior year. Every year I think it will be different but it never is. I still isolate myself, I still feel like every word that comes out of my mouth is embarrassing stupid and annoying, I still feel like everyone is watching and judging me. The medication barely helps. I still have mood swings, I still feel like sobbing whenever a teacher tries to talk to me, and I still cry whenever I go home. I dont understand why im so pathetic and why I can't just be normal. I try to dress nice, I try to look pretty but it never works. I still feel like everyone all the time is staring and watching in the worst way possible. I just want to feel normal, to feel happy, to feel confident but I just feel like that will never be the case for me. Im 17 and ive never done anything, I dont have experiences, I dont have anyone or anything. ​

I F17 have always been socially awkward and weird. Im diagnosed and medicated for a few mental disorders which affect my socialization. I just want something real Its my senior year and I've never ever been in a relationship, ive never had my first kiss and I've never even held hands with anyone. I try to look pretty and do my makeup and wear dresses but no one ever talks to me. I dont think im that ugly im average I think. I just dont know what to do. I barely have any friends either. I just wish I knew how to talk to people, guys especially. Do any girls feel the same way?
