I think I know the answer: I’m a failed adult, maybe if was still a teen I could date or get laid, since you don’t need anything to impress or really attract the other sex… As an adult without money, social life and social skills that is unobtainable.

Edit: this is NOT an “asking for advice” post, just answer the question, don’t try to analyse me like a damn specimen.

    If I could only recommend one resource for learning about interacting with others, it would be Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People”.

    You don’t have to have money or a brimming social life to go on dates or have meaningful relationships. You do have to make some effort at building those relationships though. The book I mentioned will teach you a lot of the basics.

        Are you looking for someone to commiserate with or some actually useful advice? Because working on fundamental social skills is exactly the advice you need. Relationships are certainly attainable, if you put in the work.

          Look at their post history. They have serious issues that need to be addressed by professionals but won’t/are unable to get help for whatever reason. They post a lot of these doom and gloom questions.

          They’re seeking affirmation that their life sucks and that there’s nothing they can do about it because that’s easier than addressing the problem. It’s a vicious cycle of mental illness reinforcing the mental illness. Internet conversations are not likely to be any help to them.
