my parents never taught me anything. it was never a problem until i graduated high school and then it was a downward spiral from there. they treated me like shit for being depressed and useless (aka a product of their own terrible parenting). ive since had to teach myself everything and dont talk to them anymore. surprisingly, they dont understand why i dont talk to them. im in my late 20s and i felt so behind. thats why i cared so much about getting a degree. because i felt all my peers had one. but i soon realized thats not true. there are adults at all walks of life. yet still, there are many milestones i missed like exploring relationships (never had one), getting a car (parents never bought me one), going to parents (dont have friends). i dont know how to make this feeling go away. its made it hard for me to get relationships because all the women interested in me are younger than me. ive even had a girl as young as 19 want me but i just couldnt do it because i feel too embarrassed in myself

>>34556238>all the women interested in me are younger than me. ive even had a girl as young as 19 want meSo you have the most precious gift that god could ever give to a man. Women are attracted to you. Good for you, you have what so many men around the world would give everything they have/know in the world for. I am a very competent person. I have a really good job, I don't need my parent's help for anything. I help them. But women don't like me, they think I'm ugly and boring or something. I don't know. If I had a good looking 19 year old woman interested in me I'd literally quit my job and leave everything I have just to experience that. I fucking hate my life and think about suicide every single day literally all throughout the day, like I would do it in an instant if it wouldn't make my family sad. So count your blessings, get with one of those women, and let them teach you how to be a better man.
>>34556259im not handsome. i just talk to everyone. i also ask them if they want to go out.
>>34556238You're your own dad now, anon, show up for yourself, discipline yourself, give yourself the support and grace a parent should've taught you to give yourself. The only person you have to avoid falling behind is the person you were yesterday.Unfortunately nobody else is ever going to be able to do this for you.
>>34556260>I'm not handsomeYes you are
>>34556259>>34556260It could be worse, fish could also fear you
>>34556260Most people are self-conscious. But if you are getting positive reactions from people when you talk to them, you are not unattractive. So don't keep trying to pity yourself. You were given a gift. so enjoy it.
>>34556238Tell me how it feels to say these three things out loud.>I cannot change my past so I should focus on my future>I should not compare myself to others as there will always be someone who is more successful>I can be a good bf despite my flawsDon't just read it, say it.
>>34556238>ive even had a girl as young as 19 15+ is fair game
