I think I found this forum after Googling some question about attraction and loneliness. It was around the time I'd just been turned down by that girl that was the source of a lot of my angry posts, and I wanted to figure out why I never seemed to get anywhere with women in my entire life. It was also around the same time that my activity on that other forum I was on, was winding down. So I made an account, created a thread and here I am.
There's been some things (and people) on the forum that have caused me as much anger as my childhood bullies.
But there's also been people that I've met here who give me just as much good feelings as my offline friends.
Overall I like being able to talk to people who relate to what I'm talking about, who are more approachable than people who have had an easy time socializing and fitting in all their lives, and having the space to open up about things here without worrying about making a bad impression, because we all have our own stories, we know that socializing and dating and life in general is hard. So that's been a good thing.
