This is the biggest mystery of my life, seriously. I’m a very analytical person who can usually read people well, BUT have the hardest time getting along w most women. I have tried being myself, mirror other women (just to test it out) or be quiet and I’m still disliked. It’s like the moment they see me, they don’t like me.

Nowadays I just get anxious to not say something that will shift the dynamics. I don’t have this experience w men at all. But I don’t want to hide when I’m in a female dominated environment, let’s say. Plus, men need their own space just like we need our space. I just don’t feel like I belong anywhere…

Anyone on the same boat or was and you figured the problem?

I’ve been underweight for many years. I don’t have any deficiencies in routine exams, blood pressure is good, naturally more fit (example: strong core) but also store more fat (example: arms thicker than someone else’s w similar physique).

This is all good, EXCEPT I have zero energy and start having other issues! I’ve tried everything ethical to gain weight, and I’m so exhausted to see no change. I also feel like it’s a chore… I waste sm energy on thinking “What should I eat that has a lot of protein and tastes good?” so I don’t have to think about it for hours and little snacks, milk, protein drinks will be easy to grab and add more calories. I’ve literally tried doctors prescribed protein drinks, and nothing. I drink regular protein shakes (24g each) everyday and they don’t seem to make me full or any different. Does anyone have this experience? Same with protein bars. I can only feel the difference by eating real food.

However, for more than 6 months, I have to force myself to eat. I have the lower energy, time to eat feeling but once I start eating, I feel full. I don’t enjoy my food, can’t think of any food that would make me want to eat more and I end up eating much less lately. I don’t like the idea of replacing meals with protein shakes.

Does anyone have a solution or a supplement that could increase appetite, but not damage some organs? Which reminds me of the amount of times my doctor told me a medication will make me gain weight due to side effects, but haven’t had that experience with anything. The only time I gained weight was during puberty, but the amount of food I consumed was insane. I felt hungry non-stop and finished 3-6 big plates of food. I gained 15 lb’s and lost all of it once my appetite went back to normal.
