I'm sorry you feel so bad. Unfortunately, the world is full of less than awesome people doing less than awesome things. That doesn't preclude some more than awesome people from existing though.

It's an unfortunate reality that T's will occasionally say silly things, and perhaps even give you bad advice. I find being generally surly tends to keep people from hitting on me. Have you tried being generally surly?

I guess the thing is that people who 'succeed' in any sense in life either do so because a) they get lucky early on and stick with what they get or b) they keep trying.

I can't tell you that people won't suck, don't suck or will never hit on you again. But I can tell you that if you give up altogether, it's a self fulfilling prophecy that things won't get better.

People have fallen in love with the Eiffel Tower and the Berlin Wall. People fall in love with serial killers. There's almost nothing and no-one who is actually unloveable. There are people who have taken themselves out of circulation though, and therefore can't find love, platonic or otherwise because nobody knows they're there.

Also, the fact that people hit on you seems to suggest that people find you attractive and interesting , so that's a start right? Even if you don't want to be in a sexual relationship, people still want you and consider you likeable enough to approach.

I don't know, it sort of seems like you're insisting on interpreting everything in a negative fashion. Nobody wants you, but people won't stop hitting on you. See the contradiction there?

There are lots of intellectual introverts out there. Lots and lots. A great many. Millions, probably. Odds are you could meet and strike up a friendship with one of them.
