As the title suggests I'm hear to listen to anything you may want to talk about, be it problems or just something you feel like getting off your chest.

Ask any question, I'll be glad to answer.

not trying to be mean or anything but not many people like to talk about their problems anymore? :(

hablar hace bien pero dispara a la discusión en algunos casos.
pero te agradezco por dar tu oído a todos nosotros.

Talk is good but shoots at the discussion in some cases, but I thank you for giving your ear to all of us.

There was this guy I really like. The problem is, he is super popular and is surrounded by very pretty (but rude) girls. While I am at the bottom of the food chain. Almost all the "popular" girls call me names and seem to hate me because I am different (I dyed my hair red and the tips black, and I grew up in Germany so I have a somewhat heavy accent.) One day one of these girls accused me of liking this guy. I lied saying I didn't, she didn't believe me. The next day the guy asked me out. I was so happy and told him I have always liked him for a long time. Little did I know that these girls set it up. He laughed at my face and called the girls who hid around the corner. They stood there laughing at me. I ended up running pff crying.

I'm a screw up, I can't talk to anyone, and generally I don't unless someone talks to me first. I want to be their friends I want them to want to be friends with me too. Everyone thinks I hate them because I look mean and stand in some corner. Nobody wants to help me, I'm so depressed and even my parents won't listen. They said they'd get me help, they said they'd pay more attention, they said they'd care, and guess what they never did

Life has a funny way of throwing these obstacles at us. What you have to take to heart is that what those people think or believe doesn't matter in the long run. you can't let it cause you too much grief, because in the long run it will consume you.
Keep your chin up, be yourself and talk to more people. The ones that will listen are the ones worth talking to.

I can honestly say I know how you feel, and the last thing you need is professional help. Being socially awkward isn't something that requires fixing, but tuning. Everyone is awkward around people they don't know, and what you need to do is find your way of utilizing the energy that comes from being flustered in social situations. Next time you have that frustrated "why am I even here" feeling (you know the one) try asking someone a question, show everyone that you're curious about them. Expressing curiosity towards most people is almost a sure way to get them to open up, people like attention.
Try asking something relevant to the situation you're in though, don't want to fire a random query at someone now, do you?

It's true, talking about personal feelings is hard and always has been. But if you're talking to someone that truly wants to help, it's an amazing feeling.

Aw, I wasn't fast enough to answer that one, it seems.

What do you do if five boys like you and you can't fall in love with any one cuz your hart is frozen

It's a weird question but how do I get my friends to know that I want to isolate myself a little from them? I also don't really want to listen quietly (like a stress bun) to them venting problems anymore and I do want my privacy... I've said very bluntly I don't want to socialize so much but they clearly don't think anything of it.

It's not a weird question or at least not for me. I think if you isolate yourself step by step, they will slowly get used to it - or they will ask you to stay because otherwise they will miss you.

If the first case: They are either understanding or they won't miss you that much. (Which is a bit sad but meh, we humans are selfish.)

If the second case: There is a chance you realize that you do need them and for receiving love you have to give love by listening to their problems. Being part of a group has it's downsides of course, you can be harmed in any second and as people get to know you, you are getting to be more and more vulnerable; but if you are always alone, you are strong for nothing.

I didn't really have high school friends as I was a kind of sick (eating disorders and whatnot). I spent most of my time observing and understanding people rather than like them - now I'm a university student and though I have friends, they often call me scary and they respect me more than love me. It's a kinda, I don't know, bad.

Long story short, value your friends while you have them.

I'm scared of writing a new thread about my problems because I think people will ignore it.

Anyways, I have a problem of moving on. I'm stuck in the past where I used to live with my whole family and having good friends. I want to talk to a psychiatrist, but I'm scared that my dad will say, "It's a waste of money!" I can't talk to anyone about this because all of my brothers and sisters moved out a long time ago. My one other brother is still living with me under the same roof as our parents and I absolutely can not talk to him about my problems. I have tried and tried and tried, but he doesn't say anything... Literally nothing. I hate him so much that sometimes I want to murder him. Ugh... Well, sometimes he does give me advice, but it's something I already know. I think the only thing I can do is write in my journal and blog. It's the only way I can vent my negative feelings, but lately I feel like it's not enough.

I'm a really shy person and I don't like people that much. I avoid eye contact with lots of people and I have a certain distant I put myself between them physically and mentally. I'm also a pessimist. I really hate myself because I have expectations when making friends. Why? Because I don't want my heart to break again. I'm still recovering from highschool(Yes, yes. I know. Highschool is a joke and I shouldn't really take it seriously, but in those times I was really heart broken).

It has been about a year since those days and I still haven't gotten over those painful memories. I've kept everything inside my heart and never fully talked to anyone about this.

>>14 Read first line, so I just have to say this.
Less people will likely pay attention to it (myself generally included) because you posted in this thread instead of your own, simply because it is his personal help thread and it's inappropriate to interject. I'm sure he'll have something useful to say, but don't be so afraid of singling yourself out sometimes.

I must apologize for taking so much time to answer back to any questions. I've only just managed to take a short break to check the thread. I will have to come back later in order to give you full fledged replies, please be patient.

Thank you for helping out, please feel free to also share your opinions any time.

>>15 Well, I don't have confidence in myself that's part of the reason why I don't want to make a thread about my problems. Also, I don't want to trouble a lot of people.
