Anyone bothered by never trying?
I’m 35 years old, and I have never approached a woman in my life (needless to say, I’ve never had a girlfriend). Matter of fact, I don’t think I’ve ever maintained any conversation at all with a woman outside of my family. I just have these crippling social anxiety mixed with shyness and non existant social skills; I can’t hold a normal conversation to save my life. It’s not like I have anything interesting to say regardless. Because of this, I also don’t really have friends at all, just some people I talk to online.
I have never been rejected by a woman because I never even tried approaching one. I just keep wondering if something would have changed if I had at least tried. Even if I had approached something like eight women per year starting in my 20s, that would’ve been around 120 chances for something to happen. Is it possible I would have been rejected 120 times? Well, yes. But maybe, just maybe, if even a single one had accepted me, it could have been what triggered me into becoming a normal human being.
I just hate being this socially broken. Maybe I could have had a shot at life, but I won’t… never will.
