Life doesn't roll out the red carpet and have the limo door open and waiting for very many people. Most of us have to at least stick our thumbs out.
People always say that. How? How do you "seize the day" and who's to say there is anything good to be seized? And what exactly does "seizing the day" entail? Is it going out and hitting on a bunch of people? Is it staying at home and working on a project for a career? Is it playing video games all day because they just make you happy?

Don't assume I've never tried. I've approached guys before. I always get rejected and I can't handle much more rejection in my life. I've already been rejected by my family and society. I already feel like enough of a mistake without a bunch of men to confirm it. I've tried to practice drive but I just get terrified or no one will take me out. I've even gone so far as to schedule practice driving sessions with private instructors. I work on my craft for hours every day, I network constantly, and I do some extremely small amounts of freelance work. I'm actually at something like an internship as I speak. Don't think that I'm expecting my life just to get better without any effort.

I already know my problem and it's not a lack of trying. I can't get guys because I'm scared of men, I have a horrible self image, and I have about zero self confidence/self worth. I don't have a license because I'm scared of driving. I don't have a job because I don't absolutely need one and I'm working towards my dream job.

I agree with both you and sewerrats. The problem is me and I need to fix it. But stating that is unhelpful because I don't know how and even if I did, that doesn't take away from my feelings of wasting my childhood/adolescence and feelings of being a loser.
